Both shots, Moderna. Sore injection site. No other effects. Blood type is O pos, which supposedly helps. Good immune system, despite diabetes. Still expoaed to bugs from everywhere, since wife treats Army kids in an Army clinic. Folks come in from all over the world for Command and General Staff course here.

In the bunker (basement), most in the war room.

My painting table, I can watch the AHC, etc.

The War Room
There is a mess in this room. Believe me, my wife tells me so. But she usually stays out of it.
6 of these racks that are 2 x 4 ft., 6 ft. tall in the room. 3 more racks in the garage, which has a bunch of other stuff: Civil War reenacting stuff, boxes, paint, models, etc.).
Collecting micro armor for 31-32 years now.

Oi vey! Look at the digs! You have the perfect set up! And the square footage!

I have a man cave and garage. But that doesnt come close to comparing to a bunker command center with a tele and a library! Awesome setup. A basement really is the way to go…

Impressive! You have reference books at your finger tips and can pipe any war movie you want while painting.

I cant locate an emoji with a jaw drop large enough. lol

That was part of the deal with us moving to Birmingham, AL. from FL. About 1000 sq.ft down here including a closet/room and bathroom/shower.
If you come through Birmingham, let me know. We can try for a game.

Few more bunker pictures from a year ago having been in the house 7 months.

Image

Into the war room, a work table that I use for terrain and models, sometimes micro armor. Desk in the back in the home we had in FL I had tons of stuff on it, painted, some terrain and micro armor. A friend came by, we counted up over 500 Abrams (it may have been over 600) on the desk.

The table. 5x8

Table and shelving.

Your stuff looks very good, Chris! I like the South African and French vehicles that you displayed. Well done!
