Thanks very much! :)
I can definitely post pictures of the other rooms but I'd rather wait until they're further along. Hula Sue's is probably the furthest along (construction-wise) besides the kitchen 'diner'.
Over the years, I've found alot of stuff on ebay and antique malls and some film prop houses. Some stuff on CraigsList too.
I have a pretty specific plan for what I want to do so when I 'see it', I 'know it' and hopefully have the money in hand to buy it. :)

One thing that really helps me is to create folders on my computer and file away any pictures I see -- from all kinds of places -- that give me ideas thematically or in terms of actual construction/fabrication. I periodically go through them for inspiration and it's amazing how many different ways you can look at something if you know what I mean.

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.
