A Corker of a Spaceship
Robomog:
During the lockdown Mrs Mog and I finished off a bottle of whisky, she was impressed by the design of the stopper and I commented that I could make that into a spaceship so she gave it to me and then said 'go on then' and this is the result.
One whisky cork, three dress making pins, a circle of plastic card, half a large scale tyre, a large scale spinner and an anonymous plastic part that looks like a thruster later and i have this

It is of indeterminate scale, but I have posed it here with Arthur who is six foot high in 1/72 scale making it a sort of unmanned probe/satellite I will probably stick with that.
I am currently filling in some of the holes ready for priming, it will be finished in day-glo orange and white
Just a crazy off the cuff sorta build.... hope you like it

Dr. YoKai:
Holy Mackeral! It's the Kecksburg Pine cone! (Obscure Ufo case from the...seventies, I think? Described a crashed, small, 'cone shaped' machine
that was whisked away in the middle of the night by the Army. One version of the story has it as a crashed Russian satellite, which did have a similar appearance, but the re-entry trajectory was wrong, according to James Oberg, whose opinion I tend to trust.)
Anyway, nifty little project - my hats off to you!

How long have you been in lockdown and how large a bottle? Am asking so as to compare against my own accomplishments... ;)
