When life throws you lemons. ....

BUILD A FLASH GORDON/DAN DARE ROCKET BOBSLEIGH THINGY!
I have been building some airfix kits of late and it is amazing how many parts I seem to have left over at the end.
After some momentary consideration they flew together into a possible maquette for later development.
I give you the retro futuristic jet sled. .?

MLC-3's big brother

Nearly there with the toy conversion, I have been itching to unveil her. ..name not quite solidly chosen. ..a rebel refuelling and maintenance tug for towing and topping up the fleet's x-wings and the like.

Cheap thrills

I have wanted one of these for an age, mostly for fun but also to teach simple programming to my children. Found it in a local charity shop complete and unmade. ..no instructions.  £2 you say?  SOLD!
Always up for a challenge, but equally happy to throw the whole lot in my greeblies box if it didn't work, you tube helped me out with the instructions and my archaic computer is the only thing that is still compatible with the software! Score one fully functional robot arm! !

Hybrid project

A recent couple of visits to my local charity shops have come up trumps with a couple of broken toys.

My plan is to hybridise these with a few other greeblies and parts to create a star wars toy aircraft tug as a re-imagined version of the only vehicle I owned from the original range. ..the good old mobile laser cannon ...MLC-3

Some progress shots to follow soon. ...
