Views of the roof area of Mik's mech shop.
There's little cover at the rear with only a railing, but reasonable cover along the sides, and the huge billboard to hide behind at the front.
I placed two boxes against the sign that would allow views over it.
I also made some scatter terrain that can be used up here or elsewhere.
Miniature for scale.

Around the back of the N-gauge train display base.
The platform is a piece of plasticard and the brick pillars are plastic sprue, carved square with some lines scratched in.
Inspired by a small town platform I have passed many times.
Final photos of my N-gauge home.
Complete with scale photos.
This whole model would sit easily within a 2x2x2 inch cube.
More views of the cartoon concept tractor model.
While the majority of the model is scratchbuilt, I did squeeze in a kit engine and transmission. Visible through the wheelarches and underneath.
More views of this UFO crash.
The shape of the UFO was built from a collection of the weirdest-shaped pieces of junk from my "pile".
Deliberately stuck together to form the most non-symmetrical shape I could.
I then added wires and putty "hoses", and then brought it all together with epoxy putty.
Scale photos of the Noisy Cricket prop replica.
As pointless as the grip may seem, it does sit nicely against the base of the finger.
I magnetised the "waist" of the multi-ped forklift, mainly for ease of storage etc. but it does mean it can rotate.
The central cylinder of the "hips" is an empty Humbrol metal paint pot.
Therefore I only needed a single magnet on the bottom of the cab structure to complete the job.
I added a guide rail and pegs so that the cab rotates in place.

A close-up and some scale photos of the crashed van.
Front views of the Luggage Mimic.
I sculpted 4 feet, 2 left and 2 right, and made a mould of each.
The casts were removed from the mould early and reposed before curing fully.
They all required some tidying up before adding them to the chest.
More angles of the Outer Worlds pistol prop replica.
Not having handled many guns irl, I was surprised at how thick the average pistol grip is.
It makes sense, for comfort and to house the magazine, but there is no way I would have guessed.
Bard the bowman remains calm atop the burning tower, and readies his bow.
The smoke and fire are made of cotton. I chose a wind direction and made sure to tease out the cotton to match.
I gave thought to how the smoke would be pulled around the building, find it's way out of the ladder's hatch and through a hole in the railing.
Some closer views of the Trench diorama.
The notebook on the radio includes a pencil.
And while the water-cooled machinegun is the main weapon here, there is a backup pistol, and grenades.
Outside, the repaired trench includes much scrap metal, some wood, part of a tank, a skull (perhaps non-intentionally), and a discarded softdrink bottle.
Junkube strikes again...
Under the cube, the base started as a cardboard stand.
To that I added tissue/PVA to stick it all together and start forming the shape.
Plus added the "loose" junk pieces.
The electric arcs were added with a 3D printing pen.
Attachment points and the tips of the base were strenghthened with epoxy putty.
That was all covered with more tissue/PVA to tie it together.
And then I added my basing mix and it was ready for paint.
More views of the Quake Fiend scale model.
Painting was interesting. I used splotches of paint to recreate the in-game texture.
And then clear red gloss paint for the blood splatter.
The roof of the Hut on Mound was made from card pieces.
That includes separate, individually-placed tiles.
The whole thing just sits on top of the walls, nothing fancy.
While it is called the Sprue Hut, it's not all plastic sprue.
The tattered remains of an awning is made from some climbing tape.
The base is a CD covered in tissue/PVA. Sprinkled with dried paint/etc. and the shattered pot is select pieces of dried paint.
The roof is sheets of card with putty rivets.
Everything else is sprue.
CD City.
As part of the theme of opening a CD player and finding a tiny city, I modelled the water of the sea pouring out of the (now open) front.
I'm sure the boats will be fine...
More TOS phaser prop replica.
I used an old 3330 phone shell as the base for the Type-1 phaser on top. Although I had to modify it quite a bit in the end anyway.
More views of the Deinobot.
Starting with the legs, the one on the "ground" has a thick wire that runs from the base into the hips as the support for the whole model.
The body was then built out from there before decorating with the final details.

Close-ups of The Mechanic.
My army's techmarine/techpriest.
On one side, they have a large claw and a nail-gun, for gripping and afixing in place that which requires it.
The other side has a trio of meca-tentacles with interchangable tools. More tools are stored on the rear of the "body".
