Lenny Quinn spruces up his Nevarro Playset...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, August 31 2022
"Finally got around to opening the Navarro Cantina playset. In my opinion it definitely requires additional seating, so I came up with easy booth solution with items I had on hand. The round cantina table/base and seats were purchased long ago from hole in the ground and the table top is from Marauders."
Looks like an awesome set up to me!
Now this is awesome!

Ron Hembling shares a WarHammer 40K Update!
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, August 28 2022
"Hi All,
Space Wolves Veteran Sergeant 7" scale.
Recipe.
Figure - is form Mcfarlane toys and I have added a pic at the end to show what it looked like before customizing it. The fur is fake fur cut to desired shape and then given a few washes of medium brown, the skull on the chest and on the loin cloth are resin printed as were the skull seals on the shoulder armour. The designs on the shoulder armour were hand drawn using a pencil and then painted.
Base - is high density foam cut to shape and the ground work is a mix of spakfilla and sand and once dry I ground up mulch in a blender and then applied it to the base and once dry I painted it and the snow is watered down spakfilla.
Ron"

Raylen starts a new project!
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, August 28 2022
"My latest endeavor; The Fortress System. I wanted to come up with a modular playset system that wasn't going to require going overseas and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars invested. So I started designing a system that I could cast in-house and with some standardized sized parts. However, given that there will still be a LOT of different parts offered, I will be crowdfunding it via Indiegogo.
As with my other kits, you'll still need to paint and glue together. So if you ever want to change the configuration you'll want to use a removable glue. But as you can see from the pics, you can make all kinda of buildings. Besides kits, I'll also be selling individual parts to expand and customize. And if successful, I can continue to make additional parts to go with it. The footprint of one square is 6x6". Check out the pre-launch page to follow progress.

Starchaser creates a Trandoshan Mandalorian!
-- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, August 25 2022
"Darrtosk: a "heretic" among Trandoshans, Darrtosk was never convinced that the "Scorekeeper" was worthy of worship. He was especially disturbed by the persistent hostility toward the generally noble Wookiees. Darrtosk became fascinated with Mandalorian warrior culture. As soon as he could, Darrtosk left Trandosha to find the Mandalorians and, if possible, join them.
Reva, the wanderer:
After Obi-Wan's advice, Reva Sevander shed her Inquisitor garb and lightsabers. She traveled the fringes of the Outer Rim, constantly on the move."
These are fantastic, but wow I really like the thought of a Trandoshan Mando!

Ron Hembling shares a new Jurassic World Dio...
-- Posted by Tamer on Sunday, August 21 2022
"Hi All,
Jurassic Park, The hunters become the hunted -1:35 scale.
Recipe.
T-rex/figures and Jeep - The T-rex is from Tamiya, the figures are from Trumpeter and the jeep is from Jada Toys and it was jeep #18 but I thought I'd throe an Easter egg in and change it to #10.
Base - is an old shelf and the diorama base is foam board, I used used a mix of spakfilla/sand/dirt to make the ground work and once applied and dried I used Woodland Scenics Realistic Water to give it a muddy look.
The bushes are from Woodland Scenics and are from their foliage range, the palms/ferns/grass tufts are from Gamers Grass and the spikey plants are plastic plants from a pet shop. The dead tree trunks are pieces of dead branches which I soaked in methylated spirit to kill any bugs and stop them from rotting and the vines were made by pouring thin strips of PVA glue onto non stick paper and then sprinkling Woodland Scenics foliage climbs over them.
The gate was made using foam for the columns and wire for the rebar and plastic rod for the fence section and the gate was made using plastic card and rod and the signs are from ETA Dioramas.
Ron"

Sd.kfz 223 Afrika Korps 1:35 scale.
Recipe.
223/figure - the 223 is from Tamiya and built straight out of the box and the cam net is from JoeFix Studios and I cut is to size and added straps using paper. The 223 was painted and weathered using Vallejo Paints and pastel chalks and the figure is from Dragon and was painted using Vallejo Paints.
Base - is a piece of high density foam and the small rock ledge section was done by using a knife and cutting into the foam. The small rocks are kitty litter, the grass tufts are from Army Painter and the sand is a mix of spakfilla and sand.
Ron"
