ALY MORRISON'S "BUTTERFLY" ADVENTURES IN THE WORLD OF WARGAMES AND TOY SOLDIERS

Monday, 17 February 2025

A little Bunker/Cellar update…

Greetings…

I’ve spent the last few days getting my paint, necessary hobby stuff and a few books into position in the cellar…

There is going to be a lot more stuff going down there but most of it will be temporary while I get the wargames room redecorated and a new table made.

Here are a few pictures…


A view of my desk and shiny new terrain making table/tables…


My desk… This is probably the tidiest it will ever be…
I do seem to have a lot of paint brushes don’t I …. They are not something I like throwing away…


Looking out the room from the Desk…


This is the messy bit that will be getting messier… The blue Coop bags contain books… There will be many more coming down as I move ‘ The Library’ temporarily out of the way…

That ‘Bay Window Shelf’ is going to get quite full… It will eventually be used for storing terrain boards.

At least I can now get down there and paint toys… Hurrah!

All the best.   Aly

      Unfortunately I’ve used up all of the spare rooms for wargaming purposes 🤣

      All the best. Aly

    A smart base of operations and a great choice of desk lighting...😉

    It just goes to show there's so much more to our hobby than figures. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say I'm looking forward to your new room and table. I hope it's going to be at least another post on your blog.

      Where you put your toys and where you play with them is indeed an important part of the hobby…
      I will definitely be posting about the wargames room…

      All the best. Aly

    Smashing mate looks like you’ve all the essentials covered. Not sure how you are still finding time to do hobby stuff while all this is going on.

      Thank you Mark…
      I am doing little but often as far a hobby is concerned…
      Hopefully everything will settle down over the next few months.

    You fiend! All those precious books just stacked in plastic bags, send shivers down my spine... ;o)
    It's going to look very professional when complete.

      Fear not a lot of these bags contain magazines…😁
      The benefit about the bags is that they are very easy to carry…
      No books will be harmed during move 😁

      All the best. Aly

    Splendid looking space already and what a terribly tidy desk, doesn't seem like a lot of brushes to me though!

      Thank you Iain…
      The desk is scarily tidy… it won’t last…
      I am pleased that you don’t consider my brush collection to extreme…

      All the best. Aly

    Excellent - very impressive. I hope you have labour available - those tables look like groin busters. Oxymoron alert: what is necessary hobby stuff? Something not right there.

      Necessary hobby stuff = the minimum that I need to paint toys..
      Of course we all know that all hobby stuff is necessary…

      An excellent colour choice…
      I would love to see a bottle of paint with the colour description
      “ Envy”…

      All the best. Aly

      Maybe we should start a new trend of talking in paint codes
