I've been making sci fi stuff in the event I get to play a game. Here is where I am at. figures by grendelsmother64 sarahpacetti moomir farouk Christopher Roe one monk mesper and a few from the hoards that I'm not sure who made. Consoles here get you're consoles here. one for half the price of two! props by sw miniatures WWG Christopher Roe FDG and the "space crystal" is me. The wiking is now just an old broken battle suit (as one of my cats decided to make it such). vehicles and structures by momir farook glennwilliams topo Tommygun Dave mistymiasma and I think Drew Hamilton The speeder bike got crushed so now its a wrecked one (I have some recolored one that I just have to put together). I don't know who did the tie fighter. I finally bought some magnets. Swappable stuff is fun. I accidentally foundthat the magnets I used to attach the body to the skirt of the recon hover could hold some extras. Also it is small enough with the detachables that it will fit in glennwilliams tactical bumblebee (or at least I'm pretty sure it will). FDG's bunker. The interior will be sectioned off into rooms. A second level will be added with another smaller structure with some more rooms, and a tower on top. Some quick and dirty grendelsmother64 recolors which I will post if he says it's ok. A radar dish (?) made from a plastic feliway cap, a double sided suction cup, a toothpick, a rubber band, guitar strings, and some beads. needs to be finished painting. An old beat up drone made from the bottom of a plastic pill cup from the hospital, toothpick, the switch from a canabalized tea light, paper, some little bent metal thing, and a bead.

I can't, believe I forgot to credit squirmydad for the recon hover. Awesome model.

I wasn't sure if anyone would know what I meant by that, but I should have guessed given how many of us seem to be cat people. There seems to be a common denominator between crafters and cats.

My daughter was doing a community service project for her school involving cat fostering and we took in a family of three kittens...in January of 2020. One was adopted, then the world shut down, and the other two have gotten along very well with our original two and our dog since then.

Sadness befalls my heart. I really miss my boys, but I will address that in another thread (likely called something such as "The ballad of Lionel, and other stories"). This wouldn't be the first time I aided and abetted in the high jacking of my own thread. So in keeping with the topic... Somehow I can see a biker gang in my future. The models are the early speeder bikes from Momir Farook (whose name I totally bastardized in the original post) that I did a mod of the skins. The camo doesn't read that well on these, but still way better than the flat red original. I also have some other skins (grn & blk camo, yellow stripes, and some other flat recolors). If I can figure out how to get ahold of Momir I will see if I can post these and the cutfile I made (quick and dirty, but it works for me).

Another speederbike. A slight adjustment in the handle bar placement, and stretching out the front (simply gluing it further out) to give it an ever so slightly more "hog" appearance. The one to the left is the first lava recolor. I think the second one pops a little more.

glennwilliams - multi gun. kris - sci fi canisters, crates, consoles, ect... I smashed a couple of them to make a pile of busted containers, and the barrel is his texture wrapped around some cylinder I found somewhere the other day. I honestly don't remember what it was, but apparently I thought "this should be a sci fi barrel"... so now it is.

Time for some more pictures. I would first like to say that I am ever so slightly proud of myself. Despite the unraveling that is my life I have managed to graduate from GIMP inept to GIMP almost novice. For instance I have learned more about using layers to do stuff (for lack of a better term), such as making some things match my ebbles oxide board, as will be evidenced by the next few pictures. First up is Vermin King 's mine entrance, then squirmydad 's air raft, both cool models. Thank you gents. The mine entrance looks a bit wonky but it must have been the way I took the picture because it goes together nicely and doesn't look crooked in person. I have also learned how to put black borders around figs. the next pic is from images I found by googling "front and back character art" The next is figs from forum hoards and some other sets that I could find. Paper doodles and Momir Farouk. The picture is a tad blurry. Here we have the FUSS. These are awesome Christopher Roe . Easy to build, look great, have interiors, AND cutfiles. The one on the left is the tan version, and the one on the right is one I modded to blend with ebbles oxide. and here are the insides with uptrainfan89 's tactical table which I made alternate tops for. I also modified the one in the oxide building to be slightly shorter as I felt It fit the minis better. I talked to him and he said I could share the mod and the cutfiles I made for it so when I can get my sh... ahem stuff together I will try to post it along with whatever else I have made that I can share. This is a power (?) fence I made from a wwg chain link fence that I cut out the chain and replaced it with porch screen that I painted metallic blue. Structures and stuff. The propane tank is dented intentionally. Vehicles Just for the record squirmydad 's recon hover fits just nicely in glennwilliams ' bumblebee. (although it's the coyote that's pictured. Yes, magnets are still fun. (and I now realize that I shared the wind turbine already, but oh well) glennwilliams ,s perimeter tower comes apart as well, just not with magnets. Props. I almost forgot tomoko 's caliber figures so I gave them a little scene for good measure. These are the first of his figs that I have built, and I think they're great. I hope he is ok, and I hope his stuff becomes available again. I would definitely like to pick up more. I am really enjoying all this sci fi stuff.

Now you need to build a big fort/spaceport that doubles as your toybox. Second to last pic, big yellow bot; where's he from?

I am almost positive they are wwg, but when I just looked to see which set, I could not for life of me, find it. If I figure it out I will update.

Such an inspiration as I wrestle with my first ever papercraft vehicle.
Great minis, great models! Thanks for sharing!

I figured out the yellow bot. It is wwg, from the sigma set.

I guess it's been a while. Hell, over a year. Life has been, well, you know... doodye. I've been spending a lot more time gardening as it helps to quiet my mind. As a result (of that and many other factors) I haven't accomplished much in terms of paper, other than numerous unfinished projects. I believe there may be a few to whom this is relatable. Anyhow I've got a couple pics to share. here we have some random whatevers that I made a couple of crates and things and of course one of kris's s beds Christopher Roe's patrol floater more ebbles this was a top down star ship that I 2.5ded up into what I'm going to call a drone? recolor of Jim's crypt worm I made the worm removable and redid the base to match the oxide theme and look like a hole that something lurking underneath and this is the bunker/base/barracks thing I've been working on again It's got a base a second floor and I've been kitbashing walls to be bunker outside and the regular FDG sci fi walls for the interiors

Another one of the first paper models I ever did, only I only had a BW laser printer back then. My little Gracie demolished it after a very short lifespan. Not sure why she found it as interesting as I did

So, the control panels and fixtures are all kitbashed?
Regardless of answer, nicely done.
Regarding landing gear, does it just sit on the sand?

Post by ignatious on Sept 8, 2023 16:22:05 GMT -9
The cockpit is all part of it. There was just no underside to the canopy, so I added a reverse to the page, and glued it underneath. Otherwise it would be just plastic glued to white. The landing gear are just boxes with some landing gear texture on them. I was thinking of making some simple skids.

That would make sense.
Things approaching normal in your area again?
