If it's not out by the first of October I have my eye on Friedman's new British Cruisers of the Victorian Era.

Im owrking on gathering the complete works of David and Leigh Eddings as well as all books on the battletech universe untill the dark ages bullcrap hits. Also have some volumes on Estonian military history.

I've never really looked at much pre WWII stuff tbh but that is probably a good question :hmmm:

Kloef 09-25-12 11:54 AM

That's alot of books and , yeah stuff i guess.

By the look of it you'll need to stash away things everywhere you can, i would seriously consider using the bathroom and more 'workspaces' to stash away all of that.:haha:

In my case i just use the 'stuff it untill it's full then call the trashman' room under my apartment, i got loads of stuff too but most of it is in my hobbyroom where my PC used to stand, and my books and such are there too i hate the smell of old books and they dehumidify the house:yep:

I guess i have stuff that i would never throw away, like the newspapers from the landing on the moon, some old albums i got from an old man who stayed in England during the war that contains unique pictures. Some aircraft instruments and mostly books, books and magazines like 5 years of Air Forces Monthly and other stuff i gathered during airshows etc.

I guess during a lifetime some things really grow in sentimental value, so i understand your 'problem' :rotfl2:

So let's see some pictures! :sunny:

The photoalbum, it's 70 years old all pictures in the album are pre 1940, this is just one of the pics and bad quality phonecam so i will spare you:

As far as uploading goes photobucket seems really slow so maybe i will post a pic or two more another time:03:

Jimbuna 09-25-12 03:19 PM

Good to see you getting your stuff out of storage Steve. Nothing more satisfying than findinf old treasures.

Perhaps words of wisdom from the Great Philosopher might help

When I was a kid in the '50s the airlines still used them. My dad, a pilot for United, let me play in one for a few minutes.

No, but what if he had? What it is, is the original SteamPunk role-playing game. All those Edgar Rice Burroughs gadgets work, and you have ether flyers and aliens but all weapons are from that era, and so are attitudes and opinions. It's lots of silly fun.
