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 Hab Zone showing the pillars one of the comms towers,
a couple of domes & the larger arched gateway
Landing pad with the weird fuel station and luggage pile,
the large saucer (this is before I added the landing gear) & the small saucer.
No cargo pods yet.
The scrap yard with the engine, scrap pile & barrels & another comms tower.
The arched gateway can be seen on the top right as well.
With the IMC bothering a time travelling busybody.
The whole board
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.
Engine & Vid screen
The scratch built engine is cobbled together from an electrical connector & bits from the spares box. The leaking drums for the scrapyard are old 40k ones.
The pillars, again electrical bits & spares from the bits box & the info screen for the Hab zone is created from some old kit bits on a Flintloque flat metal base, to give it a bit of weight.
Hab Zone pillar
Saucer landing gear
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.
