As I am waiting for some banana stalks to dry, I turned to a tub
of Poppy seeds (put to one side to dry out about a year & a half ago)
and some Pot-Pouri the wife was getting rid of.

Result is some more alien flora

She buys stuff like that herself, but is very nice & always gives me option, to keep or bin,
when she has finished with things.

Thanks Bloggard. With any luck I should get them into a Galactic Heroes game
before too long.

Some alien slabs.
(Off-cuts from building the recent cottages. I hate to throw things away. Sell...
YES ! but throw away, NO)

great again.
love the colours / weathering.

Thanks again Bloggard.
The great thing with Sci-Fi, & to a lesser extent Fantasy, scenery is
I can leave them by the side of the Workbench, then when I have
a little paint left over (Red in this case) they get it. The weathering
is a mixture of thinned washes (making that last bit of paint go further)
and then dry brushing (normally from a Match-pot).

Another off-cut, this time turned into an alien menhir,

On a similar theme two alien devotional/sacrificial carved stones.
Used to be the weights to hold down party balloons.

Rule 1) Don't through ANYTHING away.

As if to demonstrate that, a Sci-fi 'Bus'
From:- two Christmas date trays, inside of broken watch, berries off a broken Christmas
decoration, clip off a pen & a couple of lesser bits.

A sci-fi habitat.
Formally;-An old pineapple tin, two lids & some other bits.

More inventive use of resources. Get an army of clones and there would be no need for recycling :-).

Ah, but where to store it all? That is why I am grateful to James (Vodkafan) for all his hard
work selling a lot of it on e-bay. Events like Hammerhead's 'Trade at Table' help too.

My friend Gregor (aka Zingara) gave me some figures last time he visited,
well...it has taken a while (& a few missing tentacles were replaced) but
I have completed them.
I have given them working titles, so here is the first, 'Alien Stack'

And his mate, 'Tall Mouth'
