I’ve just made a couple of storage tanks for the desert board.
Well I’ve been messing about making some Sci-fi looking bits (mostly from stuff I’ve found kicking about on site) to use my desert town terrain as a space port for Pulp Alley Doctor Who & Sci-Fi games, a bit more Star Wars than Doctor Who though 🤷♂️
I should also say that the idea was not to purchase anything for this project,
everything had to be either what I already had or what I could scrounge & this goal was achieved.
The first thing I made was a large arched gateway for the space dock,
using the same method I’ve previously posted about when I made the walls
The domes are made from half Christmas bauble glued onto a piece of plastic
and covered in filler then sanded down.
All of the Comms Tower units for the tops of the buildings are made various electrical bits,
old kit parts & plastic rod.
The junk pile is various kit bits from the soars box.
Cargo pods & Force field generator thing 🤣
I also made a weird thing that I’m not sure what it’s supposed to be (possibly a force field generator?) out of an electrical coupling, a pipe connector & a plastic mushroom,
well it looks Sci-fi enough for me! 🤣
I later added some landing gear to the large saucer out of plastic tubing & some caps
that are used on aircon units.
I've also made a small saucer from some MDF discs & rings, a pipe collar & a different shaped plastic ‘mushroom’ used for capping steel rods & a few old 40k bits.
There’s also a pile of luggage from 40k & 1/35 WW2 bits.
Finally some cargo pods out of plastic skirting corners, these are a bit wonky as the glue set a bit quicker than I expected.
Some Dalek reinforcements have arrived, along with some enemies
Just need a cyber leader now 😁
As can be seen from the picture above, I've just been painting up some
old Citadel Miniatures from the late 80's early 90's
The Brigadier & Sgt. Benton
& a Modern Statue that comes with the Cultists from 1st Corps
Sorry still rubbish at photos 🤣
I picked up some of the Old Citadel Daleks & Davros a couple of years ago at Fiasco in Leeds & have finally decided to tackle them, as there was one with a missing head dome & Arm Plunger as well as broken & missing Eye Stalks.
I though that i would try to sort out the one with the missing dome & plunger first.
So I made a press mold of a dome from a complete Dalek & used milliput to mold a new dome, then put a bit of plastic rod in the dremel & used this like a lathe & turned some a new Eye pieces & the funny ringed bit, then i made a claw for the arm.
Some WIPS & the completed figures can be seen below
I will have to create a Pulp Alley League
I have finally got up the courage to paint the 80’s Citadel Third Doctor miniature & Jo Grant companion.
I had these figures for quite some time & have always been really worried about messing them up when I fling some paint at them, but I finally thought what the hell you’re not getting any better at painting so just go for it & I’m really pleased with how they’ve come out.
