Do you have any idea yet or do you just keep adding bits until the light goes on?   I’m intrigued….

ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA  lol lol lol
I spent some time yesterday trying various 'bits' to see what would fit &/or look nice.
That will have far more influence on what it turns out like than any thought process
of mine.
Had to stop though as table had to be cleared for our 'Regulars' game. Tried out
DAK Attack. Bob will be doing the AAR & extra photos will come from James & I.

Bit of a re-think.
The sub-build bit, that was to have gone inside the structure...doesn't work there for me.

I do not want to lose it totally, so it will go 'outside' the structure.
This means I need a base. Cup mat chosen & duly marked to look like a 'concrete' slab base.

Started adding 'bits' to make it look more like some kind of...heck I still have no idea what.
Bits include:- Parts of zip-locks, scrap sprue, broken peg & another tin lid to secure the
structure to its new base.

Extra 'slab' added as a base for the (now not inside) gubbins.
More bits from stock.
Includes tiny buttons from a broken calculator, & spools from old cassettes.
Also in there is a (green) broken pen clicker, part of a disposable razor etc. etc.

As a bearded Australian chap used to say “do you know what it is yet ?”

What type of glue are you using Pete ?

First, as you mentioned before, lightly sand the plastic, then
a tiny bit of superglue. When it has set (10+ minutes), & if I think
it needs it, I'll drip a bit more superglue into the join.
Some bits, normally the ones with a larger contact surface, have
UHU or PVA/Wood glue.

I have NO INTENTION of giving the construction what JC used to
call, 'The Wall Test' i.e. throw it at the wall & see if the glue holds
 lol lol lol lol

You've got some awesome little bits and bobs there- that piece is going to have some really neat details.

Thanks. I would like to say it is denuding my stock of 'Interesting Bits' but the
truth is that I'm not even scratching the surface.
