Notice, it wasn't one of the old school "Roll On" types.

Got pics of yours Fantasy Fixtures?
Unfortunately, no. It has been sitting in a display case at a friends house for the last 10, or so, years. Because of this thread, I am thinking of making another, though. Just need to dig around in the bits box to see if I have pieces :-)

Need a ride? Then try out one of these little beauties!

An old one this. It was a Starwars keyring I got in Toys r us for a £1 years ago. I ripped the electronics out, patched the holes and repainted. Easy.

Some of you recognise this one from a recent batrep.

This was a Robogear model. I got a cheap boxed set on sale from Ebay for sci-fi bits. I needed a tractor unit for the cargo bays of the space port.

Finally my latest build.... Grav Tank with heavy laser and HMG.

This started live as a cheap computer mouse and then died. I stripped of bits and found it had a outer shell. I trimmed this to give a window (dont worry its bullet and plasma proof). The turret was a old spoon. The heavy laser came from a old plastic GW titan and the HMG is a 50cal off my Merikva conversion. Waste not want not and all that! A craft shop paper ball provides the sensor array. The engine exhausts are electrical crimps. I knew my job would pay off one day! :lol: I had to use the button fittings to make a shelf to mount them on. They fit the wheel hole nicely. I obtained the lift look by using some stick on rubber feet for furniture. You can get a sheet of them cheaply in DIY stores. Place them underneath around the centre to lift the mouse up to give the illusion of floating.

Thanks for the kind words. The tank was a quick build and quite easy. The chamo was easy too and fits Grimwas nicely. Grey primer then the yellow sand colour on top. Decals from a GW set, a WW2 fighter plane and a Zoids kit. NEVER throw anything away. You never know when you will use it.

I have load of other mice in different shapes so there will be more to come. I am looking for one I can add tracks too.

In all my sci-fi diversion is proving to be quite enjoyable. I am getting real kicks out of making models from junk. It is very rewarding. But my wastelands are calling to me....

I have a bit of an obsession with jet bikes...so I thought I would build one for my sci fi warriors...

This model started like as a GW 40K Space Marine Scout bike. I scratch built a air intake, added a thruster outlet, filled some holes with putty and added a fairing from a 1:32 motorbike keyring. The rider is a mix of the original figure with a 40K IG torso.
