Hi All,

Ghostbusters Peter Venkman 1:12 scale.

Recipe.

Venkman - is from Hasbro's Plasma Series and once I got him in a pose I liked I then super glued the joints and puttied them up, I then used tissue paper and applied it to the uniform using watered down PVA glue. I repainted the utility belt, ghost trap, proton pack and neutrino wand using Vallejo Paints and I also added wires which I got from an old electrical cable and danger signs I resized and printed off the net.

I made the foot trap using plastic card, clear rod and wires and the cord from the foot trap to the ghost trap is an old ear phone cord. The smoke coming from the ghost trap is just some cotton wool which I tore apart and glued on and once the tissue was dry I then painted and slightly weathered the whole figure using Vallejo Paints.

Base - is high density foam and I used a sharp pencil to make the footpath, stone work and bricks and then I used a piece of sandstone and lightly tapped it over the brick, path and stone to give it a more natural look. The cement between the bricks was done by brushing spakfilla over them and then lightly wiping away the excess with a baby wipe. The door was done using balsa wood and the handle is plastic card and rod, the slime was done by mixing green paint with PVA glue and I little Woodland Scenics Realistic Water.

Hi All,

GI-JOE, Adventure Team. Secret of the Mummy's Tomb 1:12 scale.

Figure - The body/hands/boots are from a Damtoys German SS officer and the head is from a Hasbro 6" BS Death Star Trooper which has had a beard and small scare added using putty. The belt/holster/binoculars are from the German SS officer and the pouches are from an old Call of Duty WW2 figure, the water bottle is from a Madelman and the straps and buckles I got from the spare bits box and the hat is from Hasbro's 6" BS Farm boy Luke figure.

The shovel and pick have been made using a skewer and plastic and the net has been made using string which has been glued together and then given a wash of Vallejo's Flat Earth.

ATV & Sarcophagus - has been made using foam board for the shell and then plastic card was glued over the shell to give it more strength and the wheels are old Lego wheels I got from my Lego stash and I removed the studs from the hubs and glued 28mm shields to them.

The winch is made using plastic card as is the actual turn rod for the rob, the hooks are from Bandai's 1:12 Stormtrooper holsters and are the latches that hold the E11 blaster in place. The sarcophagus is made using foam board and peeling off the thin cardboard and the making the shape and gluing the pieces together and using a sharp pencil to make the markings.

The mummy was done by using a 3-3/4" Ugha Warrior from IJ Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and I then cut and repositioned the arms and then wrapped him in packing cloth.

Base - has been made using foam board and the walls and wall pictures were done using a sharp pencil. The sand was done by mixing sand and spakfilla with a little sand coloured paint added to it then applied to the base.

The palm tree was made using a cardboard tube with string wrapped around it and then tissue paper was applied by soaking it with watered down PVA glue. The palm throngs were made by painting A4 paper and then cutting out the shape and then cutting the leaves.

The oasis was done by making a hole and applying the spakfilla/sand mix and I then added foliage from MiniNatur and the water was done using resin and adding a small amount of Medium green for the centre of the pool and then adding light green for the edges.

Sweet Ron! That brings back memories of my older brothers toys. The sarcophagus is perfect.

[JTrooper]

This was totally cool great concept.

[Starchaser]

Okay, that is just plain cool! I so remember that dune buggy! I never was able to get it when I was young, but I had several other classic GI Joe small vehicles. I really liked the ones that could be broken down and worn as "backpack" for the figures (I still have a motorcycle and the sail car). I digress. You did an absolutely brilliant job executing this playset. The sarcophagus and mummy look excellent. The dune buggy is spectacular. Really great job all the way around.
