So my wife recently find out that her job (which was temporarily at home due to COVID stuff), is now going to be permanently at home. As such, we are in the process of redoing our office to make it a nicer workspace for her. That means removing most of my collection and setting up stuff to display in our basement.
All that to say…. and news flash here I know….this barge is a behemoth to display. I’ve been going for sort of a “less clutter” approach to display lately, so I’m in the process of deciding what stays out. This thing can really only fit in a handful of places. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy I have it and think it is a great piece, but it really is difficult for someone like me (with a modest sized home) to display.
I think the overall lack of room has encouraged me to finally unload my prequel era ships. Things like that I had always held onto because “someday I’ll have room to display all of this”. But as I’ve gotten older really I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t know if I want that much stuff out, and I’d never have the room if I did. Again, love the barge and everything, but you really do have to have a space for it.
