Hi all well I was given an idea for displaying this which I thought would be quite fun (and as you all know I like doing "out there" stuff) sooo, this was going to be a robot but I thought it lent itself better to this so I stripped it all down and will be using it for the dio, what's the dio going to be? Well I'm sure you will work it out.




And there's this little guy. I'm calling him ted.





Maybe I will give him a few warts or something.

Hi all another update, well this bit is never going to fit.

So with some heating and a little extension ted helped me fix it.




Hope the rest fits ok.

Will Ted be driving the truck?
Or will he be involved with the wreck being towed?

I've had scarier tow-truck drivers that's for sure.

Love the alien. Great touch!

Bet it’s a foreign model spaceship. Going to be really hard to get parts. Ted might have order direct from the manufacturer. Delivery is going to take a long time.

*chuckle* I can almost see the truck towing a damaged saucer somewhere.

The truck's looking good! I think Ted needs help from trucker Jesus or Bubba or maybe he needs some help with his inflation.

Looking good!  This should be a fascinating diorama.

The alien looks a bit like the aliens Kang or Kodos from The Simpson's cartoons.
