Dr. Who Meets The Flintstones in 28mm/a 46 picture gallery

[War In 15MM]

I’m usually pretty disciplined about keeping my miniatures purchases focused on a specific project, but “pretty disciplined” does not mean always disciplined, and over the years I have purchased a number of things just because I liked them and without knowing how I would incorporate them in a collection.  Dr. Who solved my “how am I going to use them” problem for a number of things I’ve bought on a whim over the years.  During my weekly swap meet adventures I’ve purchased a lot of dinosaurs, giant toy plants, Flintstone Happy Meal buildings, and volcanoes.  I’ve also purchased Dr. Who figures, cavemen, alien plants by manufacturers like Black Tree Design, Acheson Creations, Snapdragon, and Armorcast.  A few months ago I realized that Dr. Who and his travels through time and space was the key to bringing all these different elements together on the planet of Obacron.  In addition to the 46 pictures that make up this gallery I have provided a detailed write-up about the thought/whimsy behind this crazy collection and the figures and terrain that make it up.  I’ve attached 6 sample photos below that I hope you will enjoy and if you do, I urge you to look at the larger gallery version posted at www.warin15mm.com

Loving it! That is so gloriously whimsical (at least until the Daleks arrive!)

[Cosmotiger]

Wow, now that's a table!  Yabba Dabba Doo!

[Wildman II]

Wow!
What a table!
It brings back memories. My sister had the Marx Flintstone set when she
was young. This reminds me of it.

[Quendil]

This looks SO FUN! Great job on the table and the idea behind. Kudos. 

[Jagannath]

Wow this is fantastic! Where are those rock pools from?

Thanks to all of you for taking the time to write and for the generous comments.  This was a crazy and fun project that I've been planning and collecting for for years.  A majority of the plants, other terrain pieces (rocks, lakes, volcanoes, stone houses) and the dinosaurs were picked up at my local swap meet and then repurposed/modified and painted for use with this collection.
Jagannath, most of the rocks, and volcanoes are cast-off or broken toys I picked up at the swap meet.  A lot of them are Playmobil and toys marketed with the release of The Cars Movie.  The terrain piece that involves a rock face behind a pool is a combination of rock from a toy marketed with The Cars Movie and the pool is by Playmobil.  I though they would go well together so I cut way the part of the rock piece that I didn't want and attached it to the Playmobil pool using yellow grey Milliput to blend the two pieces together and create a hand bond to hold them together.  For more information go to the link to my website provided at the end of my original posting and click on the Dr. Who Meets The Flintstones Gallery (46 pics).  In addition to the other pictures, you will find a more detailed explanation of what I used in putting this collection together.
Thanks again.  Richard

Exterminate those dinos, guys!

Lovely stuff.

[Blackwolf]

Brill!
For some reason it all reminds me of a Far Side cartoon(that’s a good thing).

[steders]

Thats just brilliant, love it

[Mason]

I love this, it is sheer whimsical madness.
Great!
 

And thanks for reminding me that I have those Flintstones buildings somewhere, for my fantasy Palaeo Diet project.
Now I need to find some of those crazy plants that you have used.
