Not much right now, just a couple of objectives I whipped up. The crashed ship is based on an empty gift card and made out of a Star Wars Starship battle figure with wood putty built up around the edges. The bunker entrance is on a Heroscape Glyph token (about 1.5" from flat to flat) and is a part from a Mechwarrior figure that was flipped over (http://www.wizkidsgames.com/MECHWARRIOR ... nitid=2578) and I used a broken tank to add a turret.

I like the missile doo-dad, but had a hard time spotting your crashed ship due to the green-on-green coloration. |

Well, I really wasn't sure how to paint it. Silver is out due to the fact I hate painting sci-fi stuff silver, and green made limited sense, as it isn't a color I intend to use in any of my forces, so I went with it, though I see your point, it is easier to see in person though. |

I think they both look great, but I really love the idea of using an old gift card like that for the base. That's ingenious, nice one. I would never have thought of using them for that, but thinking about it they are perfect for the task being so thin, but quite robust plastic. I don't really mind the fact that that the ship blends in to the scenery, I actually prefer it that way as I think it looks much more natural. I also think the textures used look good too. Extra points for the clever reuse of the plastic gift card though. Carl |

Definitely a good use of the gift card, I've just been using mine as foam putty spreaders. I'll go ahead and liberate that idea for myself. |

I like the green color "camo" on the crashed ship too. I've seen aircraft painted earthtones on top and skygrey/blue on the bottom so this makes sense. Of course for old guys like me it can be hard to see! COOL missile launcher. At first I thought it was a whirlwind bit from GW but second look says not. What mini is this from? Me like it! |
