and this will be a cracked earth base i built from cork, tow layers of drip mats... first layer i cut up in a jigsaw pattern and widened the crevices...thenadded a layer of PVA and sand for sturdiness and looks...
so basing and then priming is not too far away... the arming is still the main issue...
thanks mate... was desperatly needed...now i am still needing some nice referrence material for some UFO like guns... any idea what i could use...? i have searched through all my bitzboxes but i was always so unsure what would look good... it needs to look alien, yet imperial at the same time...
I got some different cookies today with groceries. Can I use MORE than one cookie package?

do you really need to ask... tho...i am frank to you... i am not sure if you have to use the wrappings of both then??? or would it be just additional material and the first package as such would be the main ingredients??? opinions?

thanks mate... and it is creepy... you know? i just watched a documentary on a news channel the other minute... and guess what it was about? secret german tech used by CIA and area 51 admechs that constructed the avrocar... based on designs of the flying bell...
somehow that made the lil hairs on my neck stand at end...
well anyway... i finally found a means to an end to the weaponry problem...
see for yourself... a big couresy goes to shaso for providing me with the main materails... see? i found a very good use of the spotlights^^
the gunmounts and general look of the UFO... should i add some antenas and some satelite dishes too? or would that spoil the surface?
I like it the way it is, I wouldnt add any satilite dishes or antenas

Don't spoil the surface with extra gubbinz! It looks absolutely perfect right now - such a cool model! I haven't had much time to read threads lately, so I just skimread, but seeing this come together has been awesome. Ping pong ball usage is genius, and the rivet strips really make it! it'll be so unique a centrepiece. Love the 50s vibe - perfect with all your automatons. Keep it up vik!

20 pounds i quite a collection and some peeps told me off for wanting to use composable stuff for my creations... i already have quite nice experiments going on with spagetti rivetes... was one of my first methods of getting me nice small ones...
Spagetti Rivets and 20 pounds of mash what has happened here it's more like a food thread these days
That UFO is one bad looking mother what a great use of those bits Vik impressed, I would not add any more to it mind as it looks quite nicely balanced.
You can over do it if you're no careful, so its best to know when to stop this is perfect in my opinion turned out really well.
What paint scheme are you going with ? Classic or your own twist ? What about basing, diorama or simple back drop?
Really love this and cant wait to see this finished

cheers, vik
I was only gone for a week and you built an entire UFO!
I like the underslung guns, but I wouldn't add any other stuff. I like the current sleek look! What about adding some doors around the guns so it looks like they can be withdrawn?
The 104th Vostroyan Mechanized Rawson's Reboot Viktor von Domm: nope... can´t do that for the sake of all lving creatures that dwell on earth....
dsteingass: That's like saying "I forgot to tell you who your real father is"
nerdfest09: Rawson speaks the truth!
"Your mumblings are awakening the sleeping Dragon, be wary when meddling the affairs of Dragons, for thou art tasty and go good with either ketchup or chocolate. "
Dragons fear nothing, if it acts up, we breath magic fire that turns them into marshmallow peeps. We leaguers only cry rivets!
liking the UFO idea... Can't wait!?!
