Have you ever watched TV/Movies with a wargaming prop?
For example, did you watch the movie The Battle of Britain while
flying a model of a Spitfire or Me-109 or watching Fury with a model Sherman tank?

I have a whole basement wargame room filled with thousands of WWII aircraft, tanks, trucks, artillery, Jeeps troops.

I watch war movies and TV shows all the time.

I don't go to the movie theater with a toy tank because I am not five.

On May 4 one year I sat down to watch the original theatrical release of Star Wars with my light saber, my X-wing, my R2-D2 stein, and my R2-D2 Mickey Mouse ear cap from Disney World.

Not to play with the toy per se.

I've watched the Sharpe series several times over the years whilst painting Napoleonic figures.

I've recently been watching The Warriors and The Last Dragon, and hitting freeze frame to catch modelling details for conversions/painting that I was working on.
