Nice looking wargames room, Phil. Hope you have many happy games in it.

Strange. It's a link to an ordinary blogspot/blogger page. My browsers (FireFox, Chrome) don't report anything.

Nice! I really like the mountain back drop.

Very nice room, looks like a study.

Yes … I got the Chrome blocking page, too.

Clicked 'advanced', clicked 'Proceed at your own risk' and visited the page. Nice – always fun to see other people's facilities …

Norton has not picked up any Malware consequent to my visit … Hey ho …

A very nice wargames room that has the feel of being like a study or a room in a Gentlemen's Club.

Nice game room.

Very nice. Personally I would have made the table bigger and stored everything under it though.

That was indeed a bit what I was aiming for. I still need some nice comfy chairs, though.
Of course, the room is not huge, so it's also a matter of optimally using the space one has available.

Space underneath the table consists completely of storage drawers for figures. Actually, the table is not really a table – it is a collection of storage drawers with a playing surface on top. I added a photo to illustrate.

BTW, the malicious link that caused a malware alert came from an expired and recuperated link to an external blog that was linked to in a "blog roll".

Link is now removed and all should be safe.

Lost my painting room to my grand children for a bedroom (but since my son moved out its now a toy store room) but planning for our retirement to the country we have bought a huge ex-council building and once ensconced I will have space large enough to hold a mini convention.
Looking forward to retirement!

I noticed but two things.

First, let me congratulate you on choosing to be devoted to 15/18 mm figures. A fine and sound choice, sir. : )

And then, the "mountains" at the end of the table. Will you be so kind as to regale us with their method of creation and use – other than as a table end backdrop (if any)?

Looks very good Phil. You have really done a good job with that space. On another subject, you missed an excellent game last Friday by the way.

Creation: I acquired these a long time ago from model train scenery suppliers – don;t remember the manufacturer.

Use: as backdrops, of course, but also to create mountain passes in the middle of the table. E.g. the old site by Major Tremorden Rederring:
