I was cleaning out the ol' storage shed today and decided it was time for these to go ( space is ever an issue). Had everything in the truck and ready for the dump, and thought " why the hell not?" If anything, it was a chance to practice my Photoshop ( er, Gimp) and photography skills, which are two areas in need of serious practice!
These are pieces I've made over the last couple of years, up to about 3 months ago. They just don't live up to my current work level, naturally, and frankly the two earliest ones (the tower and wood machine gun nest) are a bit embarrassing for me to look at! The blue bunkers are ok I guess, but were made before I had a table saw, and the paint/texture sort of sucks. Not to mention the poorly cast logos- no more polymorph for me! They were fun to build though, and great practice. I figured I'd get some pics up for posterity before they get tossed, so here they are! As an aside, sorry to repeatedly show the same few figs in my pics- I'm an ARAH collector at heart, and only have these few cheaper ME figures on hand for photo ops.

Pretty awesome! You should post them up on the classified page, or if you really want to chuck em, I'll pay postage.

If I saw that on a box I’d buy them.. nice work, both on the projects and the photoshop.

Thanks so much! Have to be perfectly honest, though, I feel they look better in the pics than in real life, especially the tower and wood nest ( the wood part is cool, but the sandbags are atrocious!). I had initially thought of listing them cheap as-is in a similar fashion to the prototype wall lot I have up right now, but the weight would make shipping these ridiculously expensive- that tower alone weighs around 5 pounds and is just too big for a large flat rate! I'm still on the fence with the bunkers, I have 8 or 9 and had been thinking about stuffing a flat rate full for 10 or 20$, but I'm just not sure I want these out in the wild!

Great gooley-moogley! You're trashing those! You might want to offer free pick-up. I bet you some Tankers within driving range would take those off your hands in a second.
I'd love to see some WIP pics or a how-to on building those. Jason |

These look fantastic, and would gladly buy the prototypes on the ones affordable enough to ship.
I agree the sandbag's do not look as awesome as the ones you have in your BST thread, but I think they make great sacks for a warehouse scene. I would gladly use them for something like that.
