My space memorabilia collection seems to stay stored in boxes and binders and I admire the great looking presentations some of you have put together. Any links to or pictures of your own "home museums"? |

Jeeze, Scott!!! Is all that hardware on your site yours? Man! You should start your own space program. I am humbled! |

I am impressed; perhaps one day I can visit? Can you provide some details on the provenance of the hardware? |

Russ, I still (no pun) remember visiting your museum even though it's been 4 or 5 years ago. You have a fantastic space wing and as I recall a lot of aviation art and stuff all through your house. Thanks for sharing. |

Great stuff guys, I love your displays.Russ, one question if I may, why do you have multiple copies of certain books on your shelves? |

Adam, multiple copies of books — the ones on the right (steel shelf) are all signed. On the left, I guess I just occasionally get the opportunity to pick up a spare. In reality, I'm an unadmitted compulsive horder. |

In the very last picture, I thought I saw radio control helicopter blades sticking out the top of the lunar module. That struck me as a cool idea, so I searched around to see who sold those. The only mention I could find was... by you, since you built it! I'd missed this post from a few months ago. Really great work. |

Gary, isn't your LM remove before flight display similar?I really like the nasty old light fixture next to the Saturn V model. Is that from one of the old launch pads? If yes, which pad? Very nice stuff. |

Gary sent me a picture of his tag display and I copied his design.Yes, that light is from LUT 1, it was the tower from which Apollo 11 and others were launched. Check the Flickr set for details. |

Some of my main display room at home, some of it overlaps since the photos were taken over a large period of time and I move stuff around quite a bit.

Wow! Everyone here has really incredible collections. Bravo. I always enjoy seeing what wonderful treasures everyone else has found a place for. I don't have nearly as much, but what I do have I confined to one room. Don't have a lot of room on the walls- the women astronaut poster in the flickr album takes up most of the space! Here is the photo album to see the rest of my humble collection.   |

Yes, that is the Estes, I had a few flights and bits of the tower were lost. Thanks for your offer on the tower piece, however I am in Australia, so can't drop by to collect... |

I really like your models mounted on wood. The blackness of space and crescent Earth are great backgrounds. And do I detect a SpaceX enthusiast! Your Christmas tree is wonderful too. Thanks for sharing. |

Hey, mine is missing that piece as well. What would you take for it if you aren't shipping it to anyone else? If your offer to Australia went south and not literally, I would love to be your second. I live in NC so... |
