Thanks guys :)

I used hot glue to stick the main items together - and superglue to stick the greenstuff to the outside.

Love those objectives.

Now I have to decide whether to start making a huge junk collection or stay married.

Is your wife gaming with you...? :D

@Supercollider:
Great idea to use bases of HeroClicks minis! I think I'll borrow it when I start to make terrain myself (in a future far, far from now, Im afraid).

I didn't take many WIP pics, and this is about the best view I have of it:



Thread the little beads on before you bend the paper clips.  The thicker wire has sections of styrene tubing on it, or is wrapped with short lengths of paper soaked in PVA, both methods work well. You can just about see the bling jewel things over on the left.  They come like this:

You can get all sorts of shapes and sizes, and they look pretty good when painted :)

There's a better view of the jewels in action in this pic: They are on the turquoise skiff.




I'll try to remember to take some better pics when I make more terrain.

Those skiffs would be so good for a John Carter Of Mars Game. I would love to see some good models for that in 15mm.

The skiffs were made for a Space 1889 setting, here's one of them loaded up with some Brits, from a previous game :)

Hehe - I try to keep the hoarding to a minimum (one medium sized box in the game closet), and she actually brings me lots of stuff these days!

Cheers.

I thought they might be for Space 1889. I am tempted to make some though, if I can find some suitable figures. I am guessing they are based on a cross section cut through a suitable bottle. That or a complete scratch build from plastic and?

From Bionicle canister lids - there's a pic on page 3 of this thread ;)

You've given me an idea with the bottle section thing!

Apologies, I am getting all the Star Wars threads muddled. I missed the bionicle package! If I have given you an idea that is the least I can do. Thanks.
