There's no evidence it was aliens Mulder!

I recently started rewatching the X-files for the first time in years and it struck me that (at least for the first series), whenever that weeks particular weirdness was going down, agent Scully was always looking the other way. This is a [...]

Sci fi pest controller

Inspired by a rewatching of the classic Sci fi film alien. If the colony had just called in a professional exterminator a bit earlier all that nastiness with the acid blood and chest bursting could have been avoided. (If you’ve not seen [...]

Say again Eagle... you guys crashed into what?

Inspired by one of my favourite Sci-Fi films of all time, the classic 2001 Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubric and based upon the book by Arthur C Clarke. In the Film/book the black obelisk is essentially a probe from a super advanced alien [...]

'Probe this ET'

A little diorama inspired by a friend who is very much into their conspiracy theories. They were telling me about some UFO related phenomena of cattle mutilations (a dubious theory even by the standards of UFO believers) and i couldn't [...]

"Dude...just walk away!" An 'Alien' Diorama

This model is a 1:9 scale diorama inspired by one of the first scenes from the classic 'Terminator 2' film. The model is the old Halycon kit which i picked up off Ebay. The base is scratch built using insulation foam. The skulls were 3D [...]

Gundam robot suit

This is a little diorama featuring a Bandai Gundam mobile suit (i honestly cant remember which one). The robot is 1/60 while the figures are 1/72 so not an exact match but fairly close. The suit is built pretty much out of the box with the [...]

Project Orion nuclear spacecraft

This project started with the Revell 1:144 Saturn 5 rocket kit, however I wanted to do something a bit different with it. Project Orion was a spacecraft concept that the USA seriously considered in the late 1950s and early 60’s. The [...]
