I've been looking on here and on you tube at "kit bashing" (great phrase that) .....so anything could happen in the next half hour........oh sorry that waterbased not spacebased ...........

Anyway im saving bottles ,caps ,tubs and other doo dadds so it going to be a bit of work on the railway then of into space

 

[Steven000]

Both Starwars and Thunderbirds models were created with kit bashing - have fun!

To expand my idea i got some space men gonna have a go at painting them nd i have used the two "boxes " as the " planet " so with a but of kit bashing to make a space ship its going to be the goodguys protecting those building i got and the bad guys attacking them ........thats my plan.

Gonna try to to a planet surface only thing i got get round is the bit in middle of the two bottom "boxes" i cant alter it or cut it cos it an integral part of shelving but im thought of having moon mountain well hillside

So watch this space ......excuse the pun

And my daughter gave me the drawers and they fit neatly in alcove so i had a mega sort out and tidy up

Got a little problem the whole structure where the 4 boxed areas are is complete and without taking it all down.

i cant seperate the two bottom ares which i paint grey/ black it could weaken the whole area so i might just have to compromise use the left hand area for my space project

Love the minion. Rocks seem random w/o source. Maybe half buried would look better.

I cheated and A I 'd the photo i could you fine ballast to half bury them ??? NO STARS !!!!!!

 

[minitnkr]

N scale model railroad ballast would work for small stone and sand or fine dirt for base, then small to medium stones from the drive or yard to complete.
