My wife, bless her, tried to get me something I'd never
get for myself ordinarily -- the RoC Pit. Now, she knows I love to customize, so it wasn't a big deal (luckily) for her to see me chopping this thing up even before stickers were applied. After brainstorming for a few nights (Dec 25-28) I finally came up with a plan and got to work with some scrap wood in my garage. Overall I'm very pleased with the result... the "desk" took me only about a day to build using scrap wood and mostly paint I already had (+$5 in mistinted paint I got from an ACE hardware bargain bin--that's the light base coat). Fits perfect in that space you see in the photos. Then the Walmart clearance sales helped a ton... helped me add some watchtowers that is! Thought about adding two LAWs but the Outpost defender works too, just different. Briefing Room Scarlett giving the briefing on HDTV: I fixed the bowlegged cross eyed Hawk that came with the Pit too... (hot water and some new paint) Here's more design notes (copied from another thread): This is still a bit of a WIP... > the wooden "table" below was built from scrap wood last Tuesday. Camo paint covers all visible sides and top. > There's a hole cut in to allow access to the lower levels. one of the Pit's stair/ladders was glued in place to give personnel access. > the top shelf contains the medical bay, barracks, rec area (for now), crate storage and Gen Hawk's personal anti tank vehicle > the mid shelf is ground vehicles garage, including arctic > the bottom floor allows for river exit for the night landing craft, and imaginary "cave exit" for the Dragonhawk Mk II and Rhino. From the RoC Pit > removed the second level (using for something else later) > added a conference/briefing room with the HD TV (Scarlett's giving the briefing) > added a shooting range (my red beret Flint's doing some practice) > added a ninja practice area (still waiiting for Walmart ninja battles to go on clearance so I can properly finish) > added the two small battlestations as lookout "towers" > added two cannons to the front to act as the big guns > the whole "top" is non-mobile now; I haven't removed the wheels... yet Hope you like this! Happy New Year! (More photos to come) |
