Ordnance, explosives, small arms and IEDs. Many are purely technical, but some are much more general, as by Ian Hogg, Chis Chant, etc. But all ordnance related.

Slowly pulling things out of boxes and getting them organized. First up is US submunitions and dispensing systems. Not pictured are the gravel mines, button bombs, etc. Still needs a lot of work and cleaning, but that will take place after the rest is up and running. Next task will be to build 2-3 more shelves and then pull the foreign submunitions. After that WWI then WWII ordnance. Going to be a busy winter.

Hello Jeff,

This is going to be as much fun for the members as it is for you, as you slowly get things unpacked and displayed. Not to mention, VERY INFORMATIVE!

Best regards,

Randall

Really nice looking markings on your ICM projos. The BZ projo looks nice too!

Gee Jeff, Your bombatorium is coming right along. Your U.S. subs look like a great start and sounds like you will indeed have a busy winter. Please keep us updated as all comes along. If I took on a project like that I would end up in the sanatorium!!! Dano

this is looking eerily familiar. any plans for glass display cases mtm style?

 

[US-Subs]

Hey, imagine seeing you here! I've got one display case upstairs, but otherwise not for now. It protects things well, but at the moment is just to costly and takes up too much room. MTM has 13 buildings to play in, I've just got the one.

Latest update - building shelves, loading shelves, building shelves, loading shelves. The slow part is finding what belongs on each shelf, so that the right space is allocated. Still short a box of submunitions, cannot find some of the mortars, it's all in there somewhere.

Haven't started unpacking grenades yet, we figure that will take at least another 80 linear feet of shelf space.... Still need another 5 shelves for the main stuff first. Another month or two...

Hey Subs, Looking good!!! Good seeing you yesterday. Andy

 

[US-Subs]

Thanks Andy. As I mentioned at the show, once we get everything on the shelves and cleaned up, we'll have an open house. Don't know when that will be, but we'll have one. Mark your calendar accordingly.
