Seven matchbox? APCs. Ugly plastic turrets removed (will turn up in a Sci-Fi
setting sometime no doubt).
Will do fine for AK47, or similar, 15mm Modern games.

Some Post Apocalypse vehicles.

I like the glazed effect, I will have to try that.

Thanks to unexpected down time (Corona Virus) managed to
get some more bits finished. Sci-Fi this time.

Two Die-casts that I couldn't shift at Hammerhead.
I have given them a new paint job, and now they have
joined the boxes of AK47. Extra tanks are always useful,
especially as Zumri's venerable T34s keep breaking down.

Purchased some 3D printed Sci-Fi containers at Hammerhead,
added them to my existing unpainted baggage. Based up
& ready to provide cover when I get to play Galactic Heroes next.

Before the Government closed the schools, I set the
pupils at our after school club a challenge. Each was given
access to several boxes of 'interesting' bits (provided by yours
truly) & some old CDs. The 'challenge' was to make something,
anything. Sci-Fi would be the easiest, but anything would be allowed,
the only restriction was that it must fit onto the CD.
I took the last of the bits & was going to finish it as an example.
The club might not get to meet again until.. who knows?
So here is a record, for posterity, of my effort.

The shell was formally the handle of a garden strimmer

Other bits stuck on, including a broken remote case.
Followed by a coating of thinned filler.

Moving along.

I have no idea who lives in it, but they do not want visitors.
First you have to climb up the front 'ladder' & scramble onto
the platform. If you are identified (via the intercom) as a
welcome guest, the platform rises (it is supported by hydraulic rams)
& the door unlocks.

As I have said before, 'I don't know what things are, or how they work.
I only make them'.

Nice collection of bits! I love the large flowering plants on the base. No doubt it's a secure entrance to a large subterranean base of survivors...

Thanks Syrinx0. The exotic plants are in fact the stalks from bananas.
When I break off a banana I scrape any pulp from the stalk. it gets left
to dry out, then gets whatever bits of paint are left over when I paint something.

So what you gonna say when Helen asks “Where’s the strimmer Peter ?”

Nice colours on the Tyranids. I really like the SF tower, your best bit of junk modelling yet. And what you did with those tanks- who would Adam and Eve it?

has.been · « **Reply #178 on:** March 26, 2020, 08:07:09 AM »

Flatpack.... 'Cut that out!'
Vodkafan... Thanks for reading the tank barrels. When curfew eases
we must use the Sci-Fi stuff for a game of Galactic Heroes.
Off later to do a bit more 'futiling' in my room, interspersed with
'essential' jobs around the house for Helen.

Some MDF skips picked up from the Trade at Table, Hammerhead.
Taken apart, cleaned, reassembled & detritus put in, then dirtied up/down?
The 'body' (it could be a shop dummy) idea was stolen from Digits.
