Cheers Snitcy.   :)

Next is a carriage for my VSF Martian Nobility.
Toy from Dark Compass. Given a paint job & a visible driver.
A small imp like figure. The driver's chair is miniscule.  :?

Typical Earther Imperialist response!

Some time ago I painted up a castle for the Grandson of one of my wife's friends, well
now it is the turn of her Granddaughter.
First the exterior.

And now the inside, plus the new occupants.

The Grandmother has seen it all, & loves it all.
I hope the Granddaughter does too.

A few beads & bits lead to another bit of scenery/plot point/objective etc.

Clearing out an old shed (not mine, my Sister-in-Law's) I found
an old sanding block that the mice had nibbled on, & some of
those dreaded (by my wife) 'interesting' bits.

Here is said block with a few scraps of Fibreboard & one interesting
bit (now an out pipe).
It will serve use as part of a ruin on my Victorian Sci-Fi Mars.

Excellent work on the friends granddaughter's play set.  The Victorian ruin will be perfect on the table. 

What is amazing though is your allowed to help some one else clean out their shed.   lol

I've had one of these languishing in a box for years, unsure of what to do with it. You've made me think about digging it out now...

I agree about the size of the seat, very small for a 28mm figure. Where is the imp from?

Thanks DintheDin. It will be a while before it is given to the grand-daughter, so don't know yet.

Dig it out, I would love to see your take on it as a VSF vehicle.
The 'imp' was in a box of 28mm figures I got at a Bring & Buy. If I had to do another I would either:-
Build a new chair or
Scratch build a new  driver. Probably a ball of Miliput with stick like arms & legs.

Thanks for the compliment & even the insult Syrinx0   :D :D

Even though I only scratched the surface of the Shed & Garage it did endow me with a
renewed endeavour to curtail my own hoarding activities.

Your horde can't be too bad if it still fits in the shed.  lol

I wish!  ::)

At the moment it overflows the:-
Wargames Room, the shed, the double garage and various other spaces around the house.

In my defence it is better than it was.  :D
