Hi all

A miniature desktop replacement for an old, much loved original that was sadly lost :)

Was really a proof of concept. I may scale it up slightly and then sculpt the wall fixings and top gun turret...

The scans I used are available here: http://www.erikstormtrooper.com/palitoyds.htm (http://www.erikstormtrooper.com/palitoyds.htm)

That was a lot smaller than expected! LOL! Love it! :)
 The first dio I made was an A4 version of this! :)
i downloaded it at the same place !
printed it off and glued it to cardboard! But it wasnt big enough, so I took what i learnt from the construction and made several other bigger custom Dios!
Its a great way to learn how to put a playset together and from there the sky is the limit! :)

Totally love it and you did an awesome job on it. ShamanLogRay is right it looks alot larger then it is, until you see the pic of it in the palm of your hand.

Hello and welcome to the Yards! That was a shock when I scrolled down to the last 2 pics! haha A very cool project and would be cool to display the figures from the micro machines line.
