Two weekends ago I found a toy hang glider in a pile of broken toys at the swap meet.  It was interesting and only a dollar, so I bought it.  The more I looked at it the more I thought I should use it with Heroclix Molly Hayes.  I love the Heroclix Molly Hayes figure and have used it in a couple of different ways in the past.  I did a slight modification of the hang glider, removed the big stone Molly was holding over her head, and attached her to the hang glider.  The only other modification I did to Molly was adding a couple of Evergreen plastic pieces to serve as safety straps for her.  I used an Evergreen plastic tube to lift the glider off the ground and attached it to a base with glue and Milliput (added strength).

Next I painted my last two Hasbro Razor Crests.  I gave each a different color scheme.

About three weeks ago I purchased a volcano at Savers thrift shop.  It’s good sized without being huge, and I think it will be a good addition to the landscape for my terraforming space station.  It came in two parts, so I glued the top to the lower section and sealed the seam between with Milliput.  Painting was easy.

With the volcano done, I decided to paint my last pack of Stonehouse resin rocks.  This time I went with a grey color scheme.

When my wife and I went to Savannah in November I visited a game store that was just down the street from our hotel.  The name of the store is Planet Fun.  It was game oriented but also sold used film- and TV-related toys.  I found the Playmate Runabout Orinoco for $26, purchased it, and packed it away for our trip home.  This week I finally got around to painting it.

About three years ago I bought the Hasbro Phantom Attack Shuttle at the swap meet for $6.  It was missing its upper gun, but otherwise it was in good shape.  This week I decided it was next in line for my attention.  I added a replacement gun (also found at the swap meet) and new paint.
