Cheap Transportation
« on: June 29, 2014, 04:19:57 PM »
Balsa Birds and Pencil Sharpener Vehicles!
In my continuing quest to save as much as possible on non-figure purchases, I created these.  The airplanes began as a $10.00 Balsa Grab Bag, and about 6 hours work produced the 3 craft pictured.
The vehicles are pencil sharpeners that cost $3.50 each.  They just required paint and some cargo to hide the sharpeners. 
As with the boats I showed previously, these are strictly gaming suitable models, I make no claim as to accuracy.

Very nice work on some very useful gaming pieces.

What are the measurements on the ford pickup pencil sharpener?

Roughly 4 1/2 inches long.  Probably a hair to small, but they look right on the table, and you can't beat the price.
