For my 15mm Victorian travelers.

Please note that I still need to give the floor a wood plank texture and also add a railing to the shield on the bow.
That said, do you gents have any thoughts, suggestions, critique on the attempt so far?
By the way, since this contraption would be for when the Time Traveler makes a second trip to free the Eloi from the Morlocks, I’m actually thinking of naming the short girl with the big rifle Weena. :)

That looks great! Who makes those figures?

Dan,
As usual, you are "Da Man"! Very impressive, but I see you have gone over to the 25mm Dark Side and abandonded the 15mm Force. >:D
Be that as it may great work!
And yes, you are making me jealous. ;D Keep it up!

Dan,
You know you are going to have to post construction tutorial for all the rest of us, right? I love the bow grill work. Source?

Thanks guys!
Figures: a combination of Rebel Minis and Highlander Studios, plus I’m about to grab a few of the new cave dwellers from TheScene.UK*
Brass accents: from an ebay vendor of stamped brass “findings”

“but I see you have gone over to the 25mm Dark Side and abandonded the 15mm Force”
25mm? LOL. No, these are all 15-18mm. :)

15-18! All the more impressive.
-
Very nice! I’ve often thought of making a time machine myself. Might have to now!
-
Colonel
Yes, definitely go for it. I’d love to see other versions. Please put it on your to-do list.

Good work on your time machine CC...
-
Thanks!
I think this is also going to be a fun piece to paint.

While I figure out how best to paint my chronomobile (would that be the right term for a time machine?) I thought about making a little “stage” for taking photos of my Morlocks and other subterranean flora and fauna when I eventually get those figures painted.
What do you guys think of what I came up with?

More pics of that little photo “stage” project here:

I’ve already started on a Morlock “pump” machine that will leak fuel into that little puddle. It will be a removable piece, depending on the context of the figures I photograph. For other completely different VSF settings I could have my painted figures facing some creature coming out of the water, like this one here:

A very nice little scenic piece you've created there - well done. Love the dripping cave effects looks very realistic.
May I ask where is that tentacled horror from?
-
Furt
Thanks!
As for the ball of tentacles, the tentacles are from a plastic hanging garland I bought at Hobby Lobby long ago. I’ve already used those tendrils on a couple of things:

The “body” of the thing I made using Green Stuff.

Very nice stage and backdrop.
Maybe a giant mushroom forest?

Do Lavamen live there too?
Or giant flying eyeballs?
-
Deflatermouse
Whoa, those critters look cool!
Who makes them? And are they suitable for 15mm gaming?
Dan
-
Second that!!!
Who makes the flying "Eyeballs"???
OR a mod/conversion?
:D
-
Sorry about the delay.
They are Gotongi Demons from Ral Partha Europe.

Yes I feel they are very usable with 15mms. They come in sets of 4 different poses.
I took a picture today of them with some 15s. It's very blurred so will do it again tomorrow.
-
Looking forwards to more pictures!
We watched "The Time Machine", the last one with Guy Pearce in it, just the other night. Love the flying Eyeballs, I'll go check out their site!
-
Ral Partha! I don’t know how I missed those guys when I placed my last order. Well, I guess I’m putting them on the next list.
Thanks!
Dan

Glad to be of help.
This might be of some interest for those real Funguys heading underground.

Update here's a comparison pic of the winged eyes and some Cave dwellers from The Scene.
-
Wow, I really like those “bats”. They could work for Lovecraftian type games as well as for sci-fi mutant (or genetically engineered) creatures.
Thanks so much for that comparison pic. That now reminds me that I need to buy clear flight bases for some critters I have.
