Actually I was being sincere (who hasn't read on the toilet) but some of the best jokes aren't intentional.

So McDonalds has some kind of Power Rangers combiner as it's kid's meal toy and now my son wants all the peices. My worst nightmare as a parent and toy collector has come true - my kids wants Power Ranger toys. Ugh. Fortunately they're only the McDonalds Toys. He has the black lion torso and the yellow whatever it is that makes the left leg.





Anyone get a PR peice and don't want it?

Duh on me sorry, it is a Cobra base of ops and Advanced Tech Production, here are some additional pics to show the whole thing.

First up is the far right of the dio, this is the Nok's place, Zartan requested it be built to remind him of FL, and CC agreed as to help keep the Noks out of the main facility. It will be raised on stilts when I figure how high it needs to be, dock will be added and the Fang will be Nok modded



Far left of the dio, BAT repair/power station, this faces out towards the courtyard



Main section of the dio, top floor experimental air force launch pad

2nd floor will be weaopn testing, detention

1st floor undecided

So you need to go Sci Fi industrial for a cobra base. Lot of gratings and mesh.
You could grab stuff like this from OfficeMax and cut it up
OfficeMax Mesh Wall Letter File, Black

I know it can be pricey but look at Warhammer 40K scenery and vehicle model sprues. There are some really good gothic sci fi elements to the different races that could work with cobra.

I saw a HTS thread and it made me think of a funny well sort of, story happened to me.
Got a shipment in and there was a note written on the sales print out. It was from my Junior Prom date. She was working in the shipping department in North Carolina, or wherever it is, now. She wanted me to friend her on Myspace and catch up (who the hell uses Myspace)?
I didn't bother, glad I didn't, come to find out she is in jail for robbing a bank to buy crack.
So glad I moved since then. I guess its safe for me to order from HTD again.

Exteranly it is more Castle than base, internally that is where I am using a sci-fi feel to it, have some good wall and floor bases from Living the Dream dios, if you see the 2nd floor of the main structure I have a test fit in there now, here's a couple of pics

Pre-paint, if you see on the wall, the lil inserts I made using Living the Dream dio flooring

After paint, only first coat though


Inside of main wall

Best HTS story ever. It blows away all those whinners and complainers boo-hooing over bent cards.

If she's typical of HTS packers, I can understand why our stuff comes bent, crushed, etc.

Still, what are the odds? Great story.
