Guys, I just found a new item to use for VSF. Sorry no photos. CVS pharmacy, (Formerly Longs) here in the US has a halloween decoration that is great. It is a Spider, votive candle holder. Simple steel 8 legged spider, which has a body designed to hold one of those small flat candles. I figure put a boiler on the back a machine gun armed crew in place of the votive candle, paint over the spider eyes. and you have a spider "Machines that walk". best part is they are only $2.99. I bet on Nov. 1 they will be even cheaper.
I will try to post photos, especially if I actually make something with them.
On another note, if there is Micheals store near you, try their halloween stuff. They have a pirate ship that I know there is some potential for, but I can't figure it out. They also have small "pile o skulls" that I am going to use for my cannibal village.
