Andy's Pulp misadventures...

I suspect my skills end a long way short of my ambitions, but thank you...

After the excitement of the casino, I've been working on some scatter terrain.



This week I started making the first section of a wall. It won’t block a proper hero of course, but it will provide some dramatic tension while they find a way over it, around it, or by smashing through it: swashbuckling heroes are notoriously lax in matters of property damage.

This fence is close to as simple as it gets; a card sandwich with bits of wire, a ridiculous amount of super glue, some concentrated filing and sanding, and then paint. Of course it’s a bit pointless on its own so I’ll set up a production line for when I’ve driven myself slightly potty trying to find how to make a card aeroplane.

A.  Love that casino!

B.  Nice work on the fence.

C.  Good luck on that aeroplane...

I'm looking forward to seeing how your aeroplane build goes.
Rather than the build something com. I'll be doing de Havilland Dragon Rapide . It's something I've been trying to fit in for a couple of years now.

There is a ‘papercraft’ version of the Ford Trimotor?

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately it's a bit big for my tiny apartment, especially as I'm still trying to justify an airship....

  I am picturing this tiny, studio apartment with a miniature airship as big as a couch suspended from the ceiling. "What's that? Oh, just something I do in my spare time..."

Oh, the challenges of being a miniature gamer...!

The only problem with that picture is that someone else is asking the question, which implies I have a social life.

Working on more mundane items at the moment, like a new police car. The only reason for this is that I wanted to try a new colour scheme:



I don't know how I handle this extravagance.

Nice scheme!
 
NYPD had lovely green cars up until 1973 when they went to blue.  I was bummed that they were all gone by 79.

Oh man, just like Toronto. We had bright yellow cars (and our cabs were other colours)!

A time when visibility was counted as an important aspect of a police car.

Interesting, our were green or green and white when I first came to Germany. Now they look like this:

Anyway, back on topic, the Royal Naval Air Service Police car is complete:



As it is supposed to be part of the 'Royal Naval Air Service' the colours are loosely based on the Royal Air Force Police colours, with a yellow roof added because it will be going air side a lot. Mind you it may just be that it was passed down from another aerodrome; I suspect the vehicles on Ascension are a motley lot brought over when other more 'important' places upgraded. After all, why do they need good cars when the island is 8 miles long?

The old German green made for pretty swank uniforms, but I'm glad someone still has hi-vis on their current police cars when the global trend is increasingly towards stealthy schemes with charcoal and black shadow livery.
