This wooden Downton box looks great, well done.

a few bits

These are traditional stained glass panels we made in 1997. We had a stand the festival of speed that year. These were the leftovers. Too busy these days fixing church windows. Might be tempted to do something mini based. Any ideas?
The light box is homemade with eBay sticker. Cheap and cheerful.

The old BMC rosette was always a nice colourful badge IanD

I don't have a mancave really, but this stays in my living room

My garage is full of dismantled car. My man cave is a nicer place..

Nothing rare old or particularly valuable, but a nice place to be

Since I moved houses last year, I have used the holidays to change the attic in a kind of cave, might be of your interest too (certainly my kids like it ). Still need to sort some parts and finish the final touch.

Hi Peter, that's what I call a real cave for a man and a Scalextric playground of children.
Thanks for posting,
Kees

Few bits

Not quite a proper man cave yet but I'll get there eventually, the big Maser sign came from a dealer in Hinkley....



The plan is to get the garage boarded out completely and wire it up to the house.

Not as 5* as some of the other man caves, mine is more of a 'gearbox graveyard' style. Organised and nice and oily. May need to extend in the future to satisfy the disease of 40+ years of mini gearboxes and parts. The 'oily' feature helps as the wife refuses to step foot in the garage.

That's some collection Jason!
And a testament to the strength of those Linbins at the bottom of the stacks

My latest acquisition, arrived today: RH plastic fuel tank.

Don't know where it's from. Got it through German Ebay-Classfieds.

These were made by a guy in Aus a few (possibly 10) years ago.

Good tanks.

The guy out here was Paul Gulson, he made them for a few years and then sold the equipment to make them. Apparently he made over 700 of them

There’s been no sight of new tanks since pre 2016 after he sold the equipment.

He also used to make Cooper S style air filter boxes from the same HPDE

This K2 telephone box was part of my man cave until yesterday , sadly it is now gone & this pillar box went last December , in this life we are only caretakers looking after our possenssions until it is time we move them on , but i still got my 2 plastic pigs

I have always been tempted by a phone box, but if I got one, I'd want it planted outside & am reluctant the advertise the location of the Batcave.

Now that is a first world problem
