I have a hog pulling a wagon. I haven’t gotten around to making it. Now I will have to. Thanks for the kick in the butt I needed

do you remember the prisoner wagon that was kind of hard to find at the end of the POTC line? The cage lifts up from that leaving the frame, wheels included. All I did on those was paint. Then built up the wagon from that base

i think lego has some decent wagon wheels. i have some solid faux wood wheels but they are too small. i just sold all my tech bike stuff, but some generic fingerbike wheels might look ok.

Wow! I just checked prices on those and I'll have to find an alternative.

2Dark, yeah I was thinking Lego or Playmobile. Bike wheels won't fit the verse I really want the wooden wagon wheel look

Well, my Tony’s workshop anyway. None of the floaty computer graphics. All analog up in here.

What are the heads on those Mega Bloks Terminators?

Awesome. And love that Tony custom.

What did you use for the "Hall of Armor" bits - are those from the 6" line or something?

drbindy · **Posted:** Sun Dec 13, 2020 4:59 pm

MS - heads are from a skinny SW droid that is on tracks. No idea name

Chief, they are from the Disney Store. A weird kid-style line, 5-6" weirdly proportioned. Hypno posted about them on Twitter a while back. They are a little big, but workable, and were cheaper than anything else I've seen, in terms of putting together a full structure like this

I saw that Disney Hall of Armor too and almost bit. But there wasn’t enough in the set beyond the Hall of Armor to justify the price for me. But it does look really good with the Bindy treatment.

Like all your other sets, this one has a lot of depth of detail. Stuff that fits instead of just being thrown in to fill up space. Nicely done as always.

real nice! -1 for no AC/DC poster.

That looks awesome. I saw the post about these but haven't pulled the trigger. Seeing this... maybe after Christmas

Thanks all. yeah it's an interesting set. It took four to make this configuration with 2 slots left over.

I'm thinking of things to put in the top of each cylinder to erase some negative space. My kid suggests computer equipment and screens above each

you could raise the floor or add a step in each slot.

I am thinking putting panels at the top, so it might look like the armors lower from inside down to the bottom of the nook. The panels would be out as far front as the base of the nook itself.

You could still put whatever tech on the front at the top. Say, individual readouts on armor power level, weapons charge level, fuel level, etc.

Bonus points if you make the top look like the upper part of an Iron Man helmet and the armors lowers down like a jaw. Extra bonus points for gas hoses and suction noises indicating each armor is sealed away for storage.
