Logistics, The Figures Updated August 31st, 2015
Welcome to May, Bob.
Well Done, getting that much moved with as "little" damage as you did.
Those photos show what a grand place it is going to be.
Belated Congratulations to you and your wife for your anniversary.
Well go ahead and get back to work, I think its in the box with the red stripes ,just on the right of the furnace-or is that gray one, just under the landing??

Thanks Steve,
Here are some progress photos on the museum. Maybe you can understand what is taking so much time!
First, as you enter the museum from the stairway. I have added 40 light fixtures to the lower level. It was so dark when we moved here, I thought the previous owners must have been moles! BTW Moon Pup, Most of those 40 were L.E.D. This is what I call diorama row. It will have nearly a dozen dioramas against this wall.
A total of 20 glass cases of all sizes that will be filled with models, small dioramas and militaria.
More awards and memorabilia than I can find wall space for.
In the foreground, there are the guts of the Napoleon Shadowbox. It was damaged extensively, but nothing I can't fix. However, fixing takes time!
Here is where I have been working on it. Somehow, the movers broke one of the 4 transformers when moving it. I went to a train shop yesterday to buy a replacement and the owner told me that transformers last forever and never stop working. I informed him that the impossible just happened or I wouldn't be there to replace it!
The far back wall of the museum. Legacies, Coccoon, Knight Takes king's Bishop, Comrades and Arrogance will fill that wall. Arrogance had the most damage of any, really bad, but as you can see, It is repaired and in place, all clean and ready to be seen!
Another wall which will have Quota, Nest and The Liberation of Sheila.
Coccoon in the back corner.
And, that wall is where the Logistics diorama will be finished and will abide. BTW, I found a Plexiglass fabricator and he have me a bid on the cover for Logistics. I was quoted $1600 in St. Louis, only $550 down here!
The department store buildings for Logistics.
One of the "Rooms" I made with glass cases.
The beginning of my police career section.
More awards and trophies.
Inside one of the glass shelves rooms.
The police section again.
More of the same.
Some of the dog section.
Ditto.
This will be the media room. It is wired with a super Bose sound system, an 80 inch TV, etc, the walls are lined with oak shelves containing my 5000 strong collection of DVDs. It will have a bar with fridge, etc., lots of neon and so on.
There are still about 250 more things to hang on the walls and 11 more dioramas still in storage to bring in. I still have a minimum of6 more to repair and all 11 in storage are wrapped in moving pads, so, until I unwrap them, no idea how many more are damaged.
Here are a few of the plaques, awards and memorabilia to hang.

And,
OK, that's it for now. Next time I post, it will all be finished. I am thinking about doing a tutorial about creating an efficient workshop when I start that. I plan on using all those 71 years of experience building on this, my last one. Hey, I'm 75 on May 11th, how many more do you think I will build??? :yipee
