Picked up a couple of toys at a charity shop.

Removed them from existing bases, and put them into the 'Interesting bits box'.
Fixed them onto new bases (Tin lids as these guys are BIG)
Then undercoated them.

I figure Big Bird as a powerful Alien to be used in Galactic Heroes games.
Woody, obviously, some kind of forest denizen for fantasy games.

Woody had clumps of foliage added to make him more tree like.

Using up some bits.
An in progress shot followed by:-
Alien artifact/mission objective, then
some broken pipe-work (breaks up movement & gives some cover)
an obsolete power generator.
Finishing (out of order) with another 'in progress' shot

Some more.
First four shots are of two abandoned habitats.
Then two shots of a settling tank & finishing with three containers.

I hope to make things up from bits as I go along & stop boxing them up for...later.
The Alien artifact & broken piping were from a destroyed (by the dog) dog toy.
Other bits included:-
Used printer ink cartridge, cheap toy containers, the old bases from some Samurai
figures that Vodkafan bought of e-bay, oh and sundry 'bits' that happened to be
on the workbench at the time.

Two Sci-fi habitats, a pumping section & (yet another) banana alien plant.

Well some I sold to...you.
A lot more has also been sold on, & I have booked a double slot (first two)
for Trade at Table, that is at the upcoming Hammerhead show (UK) It is
hoped that more goes then, or later on e-bay.
Storage is a BIG problem. lol lol lol
As this years Motto is, 'Use it or loose it' I will be clearing out some projects
that are (very) unlikely to see fruition. That will (I hope) create some space.
People who know me are not convinced this will happen. :D

“Use it or loose it” you say.
“Buy it and hide it” works for me.
Then it’s a nice surprise when I find it, 10 years later.  lol lol lol

I have to say…the number of times the dog destroyed or chewed up something, which you then turn into a piece of scenery….makes one wonder…..

Are you feeding him plastic crap under the table deliberately? 🧐

I will confess to feeding him... tit-bits... under the table. The plastic crap is all his work. lol
Picking up the detritus provides my raw materials. I would say without having to pay for it,
but then who bought him all these 'toys'  ??? ??? ???
