- Finally I have finished the 2024 room tour. I hope you enjoy the collection and I hope it inspires all of you to keep up the good hunt. Remember, virtually everything you see here as been found “in person” simply by putting the word out and keeping my eyes open. It’s amazing how fast it adds up. Please enjoy! #collecting #roomtour #militaria #ww2 #uniform #headgear #helmets #ww1 #marinecorps #airforce #army #navy
You've done an amazing job displaying your collection. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Thanks,
It has been a fun ride. I just need to figure out how to expand my space...I would love to find a place I could move it to so I could spread it out and display all the stuff in the closets and various footlockers and bins...but the price of renting a facility is just insane in my neck of the woods as is moving to a new house. This has changed my direction in collecting as I try to buy only items I can put out on display (and that is now workng well haha).
Thanks for the room tour Steve, it was fantastic! A very well put together presentation as always.
Thanks Michelle-ik3dp. I thought it would be easier to do (everyone on youtube always makes it look so simple)! Boy was I wrong!
Oh my gosh! Can it be? Finally!
Hey JonBoy, really looking forward to your show of show video for 2024, when can we expect it? I know the show is this weekend!
@@garrettmckinley4062 Hey, I will probably upload either Saturday night or Sunday
Super awesome and great setup!!! Thank you for the room tour. Been watching for years and remember some of how it used to look before.
I had to go back and re-watch that video before shooting this one and I was amazied at how much has changed (and piled up)!?! Thanks for the compliment.
Awesome collection looks like a museum very interesting video.
Thanks davidperry3601. I appreciate the compliment as that is what I have been striving for. I just wish I had a bit more space to spread out but...I really can't (or shouldn't) complain!
Hope to see you at SOS! Mike
I’ll be looking for you…actually just look for Johnboy signing autographs and you’ll find me…I’ll be holding his extra pens and photographs 😂
Great display room! I’m in the process of putting one together to finally show my collection.
Great to hear Nick! I can say that I really love having my own "museum." It makes going to public museums a bit hard as they don't like it when you touch the exhibits!?!
Great video!! Totally an incredible collection. Didn't know you collected German items too. Loved the Russian tanker uniform. That BDM uniform got my attention. That was really nice. Good to see Max in your video. I'll be watching this one several times.
Thanks Kenneth I’ve been enjoying all your content as well…you have quite the collection yourself. The BDM was such a lucky find and what is even more amazing is that the shirt and tie still have their RZM tags!
@@keepemrolling2908 mine is a life time collection. Did you get the Russian uniform and BDM uniform off the older guy who had the large Russian collection?
Sure did. He unfortunately became ill shortly after the last video and ended up passing away (what a loss of knowledge)!!! I just happened to strike a chord with his wife who said that he really liked me...so she allowed me shop some things from the collection (first dibs if you will). She knew the value but she gave me a really fair deal (still ouchy if you know what I mean) but I couldn't pass up this opportunity as I felt it was once in a lifetime. Some of my new U.S. stuff came from him as well. The rest went to auction...I guess such is life!?!
@@keepemrolling2908 I was sad to hear he passed away. I was really looking forward to seeing his german collection. From what I seen in your videos he had the best collection. Later in life if you ever want to sell let me know.
This video made my day!
Glad to hear it...I am just sorry it took so long. I always think it is going to go quickly and...well let's just say that having to relocate items to get a better shot took a long time...and even a longer time to put the room back together when I was done...in fact, I have all ready changed my World War I exhibit!
I’ve been looking forward to this room tour ever since you mentioned it was coming. It certainly did not disappoint. Wow, great job Steve! Your military items and displays are amazing! I really like the new Japanese addition. I’m looking forward to hearing more about it. I love watching your videos so Keep em Coming. 🇺🇸🪖🇺🇸🪖🇺🇸🪖
Thanks HeartCityKid! The Japanese collection was an "out of the blue" purchase. I was informed by a friend of some items coming available out of a special collection and I had first choice. I made the funny remark of "I've always wanted a complete Japanese infantryman display." Well he called me a week later and had all of this available. I was shocked to say the least but knew I couldn't pass it up!
Ive been hopeing for thsi for a while
Me too…haha.
It is amazing how easy it is to let things just slip by…
O man nice colecon gratiings from Holland
Thanks daanveld! I appreciate you watching.
Steve absolutely wonderful collection. So many rare items with provenance. Wonderful attention to detail. Love all of it especially the tanker and crushers. Keep up the great work.
Tim
Thanks...it has been a fun journey. I think what is really interesting is how you go from having a very modest collection thinking that you will never be able to grow it and BAM you now have a large collection of really fun items. There are times I walk through my room and have to say to myself...I can actually open these cases and touch this stuff as it is in my care...wow! I also like to stress how you can build a nice collection over time without spending huge amounts of cash. Yeah, I do have more money to spend nowdays but most of my collection was acquired on a very modest budget which shows that no matter your income level...if you take your time you will develop a fantastic "museum."
They thanks Tim,
Hope everything is going well with you. I am kinda glad you didn't go to the show this year as we would have been fighting over that cap!
Hey keep it rolling I’m small creator and I’m editing a lot of videos I have a military museum I’m working hard on do you have anything ideas
awesome display! even though its a bit tight it still looks very museum like.
for hat/helmet display stands i like to pick up those wooden paper towel holders whenever i see them. also i will get the oddball/mismatched sturdy candlestick holders from goodwill.
how do you go about reblocking a hat?
I never thought about the paper towel holders...what a great idea! For my one hat, I purchased a "hat streatcher" on line. I then carefully "steamed" the hat over a pot of boiling water being carful to not get the hat "wet" if that makes sense (basically the steam relaxes the material). I then slipped in the hat streatcher and tightened it and then kept tightening it (which expands it) over the next few days...little by little. I had to steam the hat a few more times while doing this and eventually it formed back into the correct round shape vs. the mess it had been before. Sometimes you can use the streatcher without steam if the shape is not to out of whack. The big thing is to take it slow and easy and to not rush! I would also practice on something that you don't care about before trying it out on your best hat if you know what I mean (haha).
@@keepemrolling2908 cool. thanks will have to try that. got to get a hat stretcher 1st though.
