It would be a lot easier to identify with some of y'all if we could put ourselves in your environment.

This is my humble home and office and man cave all in one.

Bad photos in bad light but I'll contribute.
Stand by. New Google crap blocking photos.

Cool Buddahaid :up:

I hope those are replica's without bullets in CA

What the heck is that cage at the bottom for, Hamster? :o

Buddahaid

08-17-20, 11:50 PM

Had me going about the bullets as there is a clip near the stahlhelm of real but empty rounds. All the weapons are Star Trek replica props and mostly of my own making from castings.

The cage is a new 3D printer I use to make parts for prop builds and lately also parts to repair the CAPR helmets for the hospitals I work for. My old printer I donated to the Biomed shop at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital so they can print parts inhouse and I Just drew up and printed a new part today. In fact I've been printing hundreds of parts to keep the CAPR helmets in service for Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, Petaluma Valley Hospital, and Queen of the Valley Hospital over the past few months.

That is a large part of the reason I get so pissed at people who scoff at Covid-19 precautions. I'm dealing with it everyday.

That 3D printer sort of also gave me a start; it kinda looked like one of those devices one sees on TV action dramas that prompts SWAT or SOG to swarm the room...

Nice idea, i do not have a man cave yet. We have no cellar and the house is not very big.. I am currently converting a garden tools shed 6x3 meters to a small workshop for repairing and creating all kinds of things.
I wanted to put some model railroad display there, problem is the shed (2,5 cm wood walls and black EPDM roof) gets really very hot in the summer - winter is not a problem with heating, but cooling.. currently trying to put some insulation to the walls, and then think about some passive venting 'system'.

Can make some photos of the status quo but not much to see yet. Hope to get it all ready and working for winter..

My man cave at 2x3m will be relatively small in comparison to others but every space is utilised to the full and is sufficient for my computer equipment and diecast collection so I'm satisfied.

Another positive being the wife keeps out provided I keep it clean.

My man cave is 97 + 40 square meter.

The positive by living on your own with a lovely little cat is that your man cave is huge.

That's an impressive collection there Cybermat47

Nice and clean looking display too, but aren't you worried sleeping so close to
all of those little soldiers that could come out at night and attack you? :o

You want a 360 degreee tour of my little rat-hole? Well, we're planning to move in with the mother-in-law in a couple of years or so... she'll live in an annexe with her mutts and the integral garage will be turned into a dedicated space for me and the boy, so we can go hog-wild with all our gaming stuff in one place. Until then I still have this upstairs room where I can do everything: painting, gaming and modelling. Moira has her 'craft room' downstairs but you don't want to see that, believe me

According to who's standard of excellence??!!:Kaleun_Applaud: my wife keeps threatening to have the carpet in my hideaway(from a retired wife and the cruel world!!:o) replaced at considerable inconvenience to me....30+ years of my appraisaloffice/mancave's accumulations having to be moved out...:hmph::nope::roll::Kaleun_Crying:

Nice idea, i do not have a man cave yet. Actually, :subsim:ers only think they have a mancave...safe haven refuge...sanctuary....: To a hausfraü, it's just her manchild's vile playpen; and properly within her demesne as Torplexed so aptly illustrated it: http://www.subsim.com/404n.jpg :haha: and they've got to check at our age to make sure we're still alive anyway! IE: if you don't have one yet, don't waste the energy....:arrgh!:

You guys are making me jealous. My mancave is a lazyboy chair and a laptop in the TV/spare room.:O:

Perhaps I should come over and help you finish some of those model kits :D

Just keep the room at 80 degrees and she go near it.

Lets see what pictures I have of my "man cave" more commonly known as my room, that is until I get enough money to upgrade it and my parents are willing to spend a few bucks themselves. No, I am not gonna build my own mancave as a new seperate room, I'm just gonna get some LED lights and a bigger desk, maybe some smaller models and a bigger shelf to display them on, then lastly I would like some subsim posters! Submarine simulator posters and subsim posters would be nice.

Thats my room, its pretty boring and messy.

https://i.postimg.cc/sfYXQPSb/IMG-1362-LI.jpg

And my bookshelf

Overall its pretty boring.

Nice August all that water for you? Don't you have a rodent problem? :o

Yes, August, I like you're space. How old is your house?

Now that I think about it ... that image is from August attic where he keeps his train set :hmmm:

Funny, I was thinking downstairs half cellar. Don't say train set!!!!!:o

You are all wrong. That's my cabin. The most cave-like place I have.

Perfect. I wish I had one.

I was thinking it was his cabin in the middle of the woods. I have no clue why there would be a door at his attic. :haha:

@Mr. Quatro

You just cannot see the dog hair that is all over my bed and everything. We have a Yellow Labrador, and he sheds like CRAZY and he spends most of his time in "our" man and dog cave. My bed sheets are covered in dog hair and they have to get washed weekly.
Man, I live a ruff life :D (A very bad pun intended!)

And yea there is some trash on the floor, but it is clean for the most part. Most of the kids in my grade buy really expenisve shoes etc that their parents buy. I've never cared about being popular and having a load of crap in my room.

But a change would be nice.
