General / Off-Topic Mancave/cockpit construction to commence today!

[brokedeaddog]

Yes! It starts today!
As someone mentioned in my previous thread, my wife has already attempted to infiltrate it, by suggesting a mccoo print for the wall!
My response was to ask why I would want a rainbow cow in my mancave!

Pics to follow
Here's the first pics

Looking forward to seeing the progress pics, CMDR!

New pic added, probably doesn't look overly exciting but once my table top is in place I'll begin to accessorize

 

[Robert Maynard]

Looking good so far.

New pic added, just need my art on the wall now, and to finish my hotas mount

hotas mount looks cool, can u give more details about it, like where to get it ? what part number if any ? is it strong enough for any incoming hotas action? thanx

Nice work BD. Regarding the infiltrations, just do what a man does best, "FART", works every time

Very simply Amazon's Choice

VonHaus Dual Monitor Mount
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0...itor+mount&dpPl=1&dpID=31UJhmjZsEL&ref=plSrch
Flipped upside down with wood plates screwed to the vesa plates. The description states rated up to 8kg and all the joints are able to tighten I haven't actually played on it yet as I've still got to fit the stick but I'll let you know. Price is currently £26.99 but keep an eye on it, as it was only £21.99 when I purchased it last week
Would love to take full credit for the idea but I got it from an old Reddit thread on the subject of hotas mounts, although that commander had used 2 single mounts

Wouldn't work, she'd just join in, and she's far more lethal than I

Nice Set up there, alot easier to play games when everything is at hand coffee machine ?. Good job.

No coffee machine unfortunately, strangely, my daughter's first suggestion was mini fridge lol but I'm hesitant to put anything like that in there as I don't want to overload the one twin socket outlet.
Since the last pic, I've added some led backlight to the TV, and finished off my hotas setup, and I must say, the dual monitor mount is performing perfectly as my hotas mount. I've found it best to have the stick and throttle bases tilted about 20° toward me is best. I've just been informed that my artwork for the room has been delivered so that will go up Friday evening and I may post a short video as the pictures don't do it justice imo.
Anyone out there makeing their own gaming cave?
