I did say I had ideas didn't I?......



It's supposed to be The Origin of the Species. Simple life, through fish with legs, to Chimp and on to man!





I still need to make them look more 'buried', they kind of stand out just now. Hopefully this isn't as standy out as the UFO but still cheeky enough!!! ;)

I actually like the fact that they're a little proud of the surface, I think it makes them more noticeable. Although I suppose the danger is that they get damaged during transport.


Cheers
Andy

Very nice indeed, do think they'd look good a little more set back into the earth but inspired. Maybe an alien skeleton with a clipboard too? ;)

I've been struggling for a 1:48 London bus.
There is ones out there, but they're really expensive. I tried eBay and came up with this....



A cracking model for sure, but......



It turns out the seller gave the wrong description! I've managed to find this when I was coming back through Gatwick recently.....



It's a money box, but I reckon I can make it look the part. I just need to change the wheels, fill in the money slot, extend it in places and change the bonnet! I think it'll be worth it!

I feel your pain Andy, ebay can be a nightmare for scales. When it comes to anything bigger than a van I ignore the sellers estimation of scale and ask them for measurements.

Looking forward to seeing how this comes out.

I just bought 20 dinosaurs that are all perfectly scaled, so sometimes you do get lucky. I actually bought 5 first to check the scales, but well... when I found that they were good I ordered the lot. So I guess I actually bought 25 dinosaurs.

And come to think of it the offer was 'buy 20 get 4 for free'. Uhm and that means that I bought 29 dinosaurs!   o_o

That's a lot of dinosaurs!!!

I've finished the roundabout with the statue on it. I've added some rubbish and grass. I didn't want to add to much as I thought it would affect game play!.....











That's supposed to be missing posters on the statue newspapers around the base of the plinth. I'm not sure wither to varnish the statue to make it appear metallic?!?

Nice work. It works well, there is enough rubbish and weeds to get the idea across. I think the statue works well in black.
