Hi Wayfarer!
Sounds like we're kindred spirits on all that cool stuff. I'm a real history buff on WWII and am incorporating that into my bar as well. I just picked up a collection of those old lead ship ID models on ebay that I'm going to build a special shelf for with a sign ('Know your enemy'). Also collected some fighter models and a large sub model to hang from the ceiling.
Jet age, art deco, streamline modern and googie are all influencing the themes in my house (Tiki Bar, TWA Space Port, Diner Kitchen, Disneyland attraction themed room).

Our rec. Room (that leads to the basement bar) will have a bunch of sci-fi and jet age stuff I've collected over the years -- a spacesuit from the movie Mission to Mars, Spaceship wall sections and control panels from the movie Sunshine, a 4ft model of the TWA Moonliner in Disneyland, etc. In fact, the double doors that go between our rec room and the steps to the basement (currently just look like closet doors) will be space ship airlock doors on one side and bamboo covered doors on the other.

What branch of the service are you in? Thank you very much for your service to our country.

Thanks, I'm in the Navy.

Are you going to post pictures of the rest of the house some time? I love Hula Sue's, it's one of my favorite threads up here. I'd like to do something like that someday, except as a business and not a personal bar. Mostly I've just sketched ideas and have been slowly collecting stuff for it. It'll be great seeing those ID ships of yours up, Hula Sue's is one of those things that keeps me coming back to this site!

The rec room sounds awesome, will you serve the Test Pilot in there? And where do you find this stuff? It seems like you can find anything.
