As the Planets Turn
« on: July 06, 2023, 08:24:18 PM »
Salkit is a happy lone scrapper, living on the edge of a big scrap field. After salvaging a dish off a old wreck he could finally watch reruns of "As the Planets Turn". Well, untill his power cell crapped out on him. He had not come across a working one during his scrapping so he forked out his last spare credits for a new power unit. Gaudy thing from some rich kid that had fallen on hard times. Not his problem, he has reruns to watch after a hard days work.

Salkit is happy :)

Right, this one....I was sorting a box of used H0 stuff when I found the top of a windmill (but no windmill) and I figured it would make a nice small Sci-Fi ish home. A bit of a rummage through my bits box, and an evenings worth of paint and there you go, a small 15mm SciFi home.

Did I need one? Not really. Was it fun to make? Hell yeah :) Pretty bright, but I kinda like that for sci-fi. A nice break from the Historicals I guess.

That is a very cool structure! I like the shape and vivid colours.

Very cool indeed.  Has that wonderful air of neglect that makes it real.
