Ok, this is my 2nd post here.

I know that this is really scifi stuff, but you guys here liked my Death Star so much I thought I'd show you my last creation which I made for the kids for x'mas.

My kids absolutely love playing with this stuff so for next x-mas I'm working on is a set of bases made to look like everyday items, books, storage boxes, stones etc. These will go with some very, very small space toys & vehicles called Gashapons -

Wow, your kids sure are lucky. Hope your builds are durable.

On the third to last photo, there is "live Amunition" printed on the ground right next to "fuel." Why on earth would you put live amunition next to fuel!?

Cause in the "sci fi" world, anything is possible. Han Solo trusted a dog to be his sidekick. Who wouldve thought they only fetched sticks besides fixing Corellian starships.

What you didn't see was the storage area containing the Shakfoo Sqantum Doppler Charges made by Kruddock Poose Industries based on the Dark Side of the planet Moronius Major.

These charges will only launch when given a vocal command by the pilot - he must also say "please" otherwise the charge will fail to detonate on impact. These weapons use a new Soluble Gel Explosive that is also drinkable when not "live". Apparently it tastes like Advocar.

Jeff,

Thank you very much for your comment. I guess I was lucky myself in the fact that my father was always making me stuff, so I learned from his example.

Best regards,

Julian

I used a mixture of Gundam 1/144, Chara Works 1/144 Macross Models and 1/144 Votoms.

I think there is a shot of a 1981 Popy Jaguar Vulcan somewhere in there also.
