Not quite my usual posting. But this guy is a fountain of modelling ideas and brilliant at it.
Sci-fi and military modelling and well worth a look.

More added to my Matchbox Adventure 2000 armoured force.
A couple of other builds for the Adventure 2000 Corps.
This vehicle I left the old flip top missile launch bay doors open. I decided that the doors would make a stowage area for lockers and equipment bags. I salvaged backpacks from my spares box and anything else I thought would make interesting stowage.
I have also been experimenting with the cheap "Knock off Lego" Poundland had a few £1 kits and the wheels do make a useful resource for repair and replacement on this range of Die-casts.
Below is a turret I made from them as well. There is an actual working turntable mount you can super glue onto a flat surface. Be careful not to gum up the turn table itself! The flat topped thin tiles of Lego make good stowage boxes as well. It you want to add more to other vehicles.
I have actually built 2 more very Sci-fi looking light Auto-cannon turrets as well. Look for cheap Lego and remember! It may not stay together itself very well, but once you have your design glue it together! Obviously paint it as well.

New stuff for Pulpy Goodness.
Here some various new stuff I have been working on all the time I have been absent from posting.
I am sorry to those who have been waiting for updates. A lot has happened to me over the last few months.
Here we go.
This is 2 of the old Hornby "Raised Bridge" kits put together. I got them at a Toy Fair in Walsall. They only cost me £9 together. I just added some additional Iron work fencing across the top of the 2 bridges to slightly reinforce the bond strength of the build. Very simple paint job as you can see. Greys and metallics. More bridges are great!
These were made from 2 towers I already had built. With of course the newly added Bacardi rum bottle toppers my Brother donated. They will make great side towers for the entrance to the castle of the Undead Count.
The towers are simply long strong cardboard boxes covered in sticky labels and topped with Jenga block battlements. Pity there was no room for guards to man the tops. But flying creatures may be able to fit up there. The bats bases had to inset in 2 different sized plastic cello-tape inner rolls and a hole still had to be punched in the top of the tower. Mainly because the bottom of the topper was good strong metal and I had nothing to cut through it with.
Bob Murch Pulp Figures. Sikh Heavy weapons pack. I love the Pulp range. Plus once I saw the ATR in this pack I had to get it.
This is the Christmas Wild West Style engine from my Previous posts. All I have done so far is experiment with darkening it right down by spraying it black. Then added some extra bits from cheap biros and a few washers. Painted the cab a bit and trimmed some parts with metallics.
I am still working on it to make it look more to my taste.
An Iron wagon made from an upside coal tender from one of my other engines.
Quite a Diverse bit of stuff. More to follow.
