What the "heck" has emerged from the far dark weird reaches of MSea's mind this time  :o  :o  :o  :o
As most of you know when I make a model, its 80% for the FUN and relaxation and 20% to keep the little grey cells working in my brain (no comment thank you Zak hohoho) thats why I do so much scratch building and put them in dioramas - more work and thinking time needed than opening a box and fastening part 63 to part 92 etc - but everybody to what they like best.
This has been fermenting away for a while but has now taken a step forward so before I get started on it, can you guess what it will be  :P  :P  :P  :P  The figures are some that somebody gave me a long time ago and will be converted to make the model sit in a diorama giving it scale and context, this will also take time and keep me away form humans yohoyohoyoho

Come on Martin, we don't want to delve into the deeper recesses of your mind.Are they very tiny little grey cells or miniscule?

Looks like a circle cut out to me - Zombies at a table?

At least you have said CELLS not cell - hohohhoho
Sorry for the bad photo its a round ball shape about 85mm in diameter - the brown card was just to make it stand out from the white cloth background
Before Chris asks not a zombie in sight - well at the moment none are planned to be in the diorama

Could the white sphere be a representation of one of your brain cells.........?
And the figures accompanying it be representative of the club members..........?

Do you have Tim Burton on speed dial.........?

Questions, questions......

Are you working on something from 'The Prisoner'?

As it is called ROBBO, is it a spherical robot called Neil?

Part correct Zak - you know I love the posters on the internet about AI taking over the world and we end up with "robot wars" the ones with robot arms and shackles and the shackles breaking, "robot revolution", "a good human is a dead human" and "R Day is near" etc hohohoho
Well this will be the human round tank to fight the robots. Before you ask why I have put paper and glue all round the ball - I know I will end up getting super glue on it when I fasten the acrylic sections together and this will then rot a hole in the ball - so prevention rather than cure  :-\  :-\  :-\  :-\
Now looking for some tube the correct size to make entrance sections.

There are some kits out there about 'What If' spherical/round tanks, but as you like to make things hard for yourself.........

MSea

Yes Chris MiniArt do one for £50 - but you know me' why do it the easy way when you can make so much work for yourself doing it "The MSea "way  :P  :P  :P  :P
