Hi everyone!

I've been uber busy with work and the Captain America WS rubber costume components, but i've still been planning this one for the man cave.



I'll be re-creating the infamous pool-table fort knox model, scaled down to 3'x3' and building a coffee table around it.

the landscape will be mostly model railroad materials, while the buildings will be sculpted in nsp clay and moulded and cast.

The coffee table itself will be 3/4" MDF construction, glued and screwed, with a beveled- edge glass top.

Awesome. My grandpa was briefly stationed as a guard at Fort Knox before he was shipped off to Korea.

I look forward to watching this project!

Thanks Alex!

Here's a rough sketch of how the table will look.

I was just watching Goldfinger on TV. Wondering if you ever started this project.

Still in the planning stage. My Man Cave is currently sitting without lighting, with the ceiling painted a dark grey. One thing at a time.

i'll probably get to it next year.

Just leave enough room to crawl underneath and peek out of the windows.

I just got an update for my oil on canvas, it's going to take another year to complete. 4' tall by 6' wide.



I'll up the whole room once it's done.


its skewed on purpose btw.

Thanks! I'm pretty excited. I still have to finish painting the trim, and put up some wall paper.

Chris Woods is the Artist painting this for me.
