Here is a gallery of some of the random playset models I've currently made. They vary from assorted buildings of real world to sci fi designs, assorted "damage" levels, bunkers, outposts, and even some environments such as rock or ice caves to alien planet settings. They are all made of wood so they heavier than most other store bought playsets but sturdy enough that you can sit on them. Most have been or currently are available through ebay but are few were private commissions. Those can get fairly beastly in size but are some of the most fun to build.

Wasteland Church
This was a commission piece requested to be a somewhat battle damaged, war torn maybe post-apocalyptic church. Still functional as a building without being completely bombed out but to where it's still seen better days. While making this I kept thinking of all the random storyline adventures that could be played out in this setting like refuge from a zombie horde, where you can stack the pews against the open doors, to possibly having to take out the leader of some wasteland cannibalistic cult etc. Reminded me a lot of some Fallout adventures. |

So I take it you build the furniture also? What type of material do you use?
You're getting better as time goes on! Great stuff! |

Alien Planet Outpost
I loved seeing Galoob's old designs for their cancelled stackable Star Trek playsets when they were making the Next Generation 3.75" figure line. I think their playsets were originally planned to actually be just tab and slot paper stock construction which would have been a complete and utter fail but the overall designs were amazing. So this piece is somewhat based on the premise of having a 2 sided "stacked" playset where the 2 sides interact with one another but they are also separate. You can land a ship on the platform and walk below to the planet surface or 1 kid can play on the outpost/platform side and another kid can play in the "alien cavern" side below. |

The buildings themselves are usually 5/8" plywood. The furniture or other details could be basically whatever wood material I have available around me. Sometimes pine, oak, walnut, tiger wood etc. The pews were made of 1" square pine sticks with 1/4" luan for the seat backs and sides. I just sand it to shape usually. I made most all of the interior/exterior furniture or detail pieces for my Spaceport also. |
