Some Sci-Fi trees.
Dr Seuss would approve.  Very nice work.

Very nice.  One of those definitely does not look dressed like the others - must be their leader.  lol

Too many people have underestimated her. She is one mean B!^*#.   :D

Thanks Snitcy. They were simple to do.
Bent screws recovered from an old cupboard.
Craft pom-poms hot glued on.
Given a good coat of wood stain from a pot that would soon have gone off.

Purchased a 3d printed French WW1 artillery tractor.
It is now painted up & has a driver.
It will be used in 'Back of Beyond' games, but also might make an appearance
as part of my French VSF force on Mars/Barsoom.

I like that loads! It is a design with lots of potential for out of the box thinking. I tend to find myself in a grim dark universe much of the time, but as you say it would be great on Mars, or possibly in Stargrave and post apoc shenanigans.

Lovely painting :)

We agree. Don't be surprised to see it pop up on Mars.  :D

Another item for Barsoom (Mars) & VSF.
At a trade at table earlier this year my friend Bob (Flatpack) spotted some Star Wars stuff
going cheap. He got all of these 'Scarabs' (Well that's what I'm calling them  :D) at £1 each  :o

I put on my best sad face & he gave me one of them. He is a good friend.
I added some bits & weapons, then hacked out a hatch for the pilot. Oh & converted
the pilot from a spare figure that had a kepi.

I decided on blue as it (later) was the French racing colour.
I hope you like this scarabée (Scarab) part of my Légion des étoiles (Legion of the Stars)

Thank you Syrinx0. I hope to use it with the (any time now) Wiley Games VSF rules.
I am expecting it to break down quite a lot, but to be fun.

A while ago I managed to pick up one of those Texaco Diecast money-boxes
in the shape of a float-plane.
When it arrived there was more bits missing than I thought, so it got pushed to the side.

At last, here it is refurbished & with a snazzy Portsmouth paint job.  :D

Expect to see it in some Back of Beyond games.
