I'm a bore...
And I would have made the entrance from the side where I wouldn't fall after having a couple of glasses of whiskey..

I'm jealous now as I've been wanting to put a 14'x16' shed in my back yard to house all my woodworking tools. With tools in the shed, I would actually be able to get a car or my truck in my garage. :)

Then the part I am most comfortable with. Installing the electrics. 80m of 16mm Steel Wired Armoured cable was delivered, and as I still had the use of the digger a trench was dug, cable laid, and back filled. Our once bowling green lawn 🤣, is now a new tank track.

GASP! Thirty-five years ago I helped build my own home. But the extent of my skills was general contracting, "lift this; tote that," and pay! You are so capable!

The model room is slowly proceeding. Shelves will be made at work, as I have “acquired” some MDF. I wanted to get a feel for the space, before painting. Keeping it simple with matt white.

I think the bigger tanks will need the guns over the rear decks.

Lovely job ! I'd really love something like that but I have neither the talent or the funds ..... altho I can drive the digger.

It is also great to see some of your MBTs on the shelves--and that comfortable looking chair! I am, however, just a tad concerned about what you are up to with the binoculars. :{
