Turned a broken pencil sharper into a bit of scatter with some additional bits, a base and a quick paintjob. 28mm figure and older scatter for size. Another item saved from the trashbin.

Totally cool.
-
It is only broken if you can't use it as terrain. Otherwise it is an interesting bit. lol
Very nice work and it certainly fits the bill for a bit of sci-fy scatter.

Continued awesomeness!
Only wish there was a before piccie or two...

Brilliant work on a piece of terrain - from idea to execution. One might say it’s… really … SHARP ;)

The great thing about sci-fi doohickeys is you don't have to explain what they do. They just have to look cool. Nice work.

Thx guys!

Balls. I knew I forgot something.

Lovely stuff and would work at different scales as well.
-
That works nicely :) . The texturing sells it :) .
-
A convincing doohickey! The texture work is really nice, and your greebling sells it.

Balls. I knew I forgot something.
Only slightly wistful in comparison to awesomesauce result.
Just wondering, was that the sharpener case or 'innards', as I went looking for similar and couldn't find something to allay my curiosity.

Doug, the lower part with the "ribs" is actually the screw on/off top that held the 2 pencilsharpners, everything above that was the transparant part that held the shavings. So it is up side down.
I had picked this up during one of my office jobs in the early 2000's, and the basic model is unchanged, just the bit with the sharpners went from a ribbed bit to one with 2 slanted sides, like these: https://www.marjospeelgoed.nl/media/catalog/product/cache/4bd788211a16205d940f35aaa3cf145c/1/2/120185_a_kopieren_1.jpg (https://www.marjospeelgoed.nl/media/catalog/product/cache/4bd788211a16205d940f35aaa3cf145c/1/2/120185_a_kopieren_1.jpg)

Thanks so much!
I fear dealing with the idle queries is more effort than the project itself... ::)
I did say awesomeness, though!

That’s the way to do it!

Nah, give me a "How did you make/find/hit your head to get/make an idea for this and what parts?" question any day of the week, over a 1000 likes anyday*. Just glad to have helped and given you an idea for something to make :)
*Not that I don't like likes, but I prefer interaction and questions, it makes me stop and think about it as well. And the LAF is just perfect in that respect.
