Hi, All! Not strictly GASLIGHT, I suppose, but then, isn't GASLIGHT applicable to just about anything? I had this idea a while ago and have had great fun creating it. Loads more on the blog.

That is actually really impressive. It reminds me of classic scifi movie modelling where amazing looking ships were built out of bits of model kits and random junk. |

Thanks, Raptor – I've always had a soft spot for those movies and effects too. |

You have contact lenes!
Haha.
Looks great!

Love this sort of thing, I spotted the contact lens cases as well How do you cut the foam smoothly? |

I love the space ship, but I think I actually might be able to manage the rubiks cube! Great stuff, inspirational. |

Trash-bashing at its best. Very nice work! |

Wow, your Puzzle of the Ancients is brilliant! |
| morrigan | 02 Jun 2013 9:28 a.m. PST |
Nice! That turned out way better than I expected! |
| Phil Hall | 02 Jun 2013 10:48 a.m. PST |
OH NO! That is really nice but depending on who the artist and song was on that record it might be the most expensive thing you ever built. |
| jpattern2 | 02 Jun 2013 11:37 a.m. PST |
Hah! Phil, that was my first thought, too. "No! Not VINYL!" |

It was a copy of a disco album, so no loss! Darn that is nice! Terry |

Excellent use of the record as a scenic base. I might do that myself if I ever start modelling again… |

Colonel, you are an inspiration to us all. |

Wish my kitbashing came out that well, collected stuff together and years on its still a pile of junk. Hope that's not a rare opera recording. I keep throwing out the wrong stuff, think I tossed out an alien boardgame in really god condition! along with a set of christmas lights from ages ago only to be told it was worth about 60 quid d'oh. |

That is some nice trash bashing! |

OMG. That looks too cool!!! Dan |

Thanks, everyone! It was great fun to build this – just stick stuff on and keep going until it looks right… The record was "Iolanthe" on the DECCA label – never my thing but now it's out of this world! Yes – I wear contact lenses. And a holster. Glad you all like it! |

Impressive, but you knew that… Doug – I know! I know! I'm working on it! Just saying… ;->= Doug |

What did you use to stick all these different materials together? |
| Colonel O Truth | 04 Jun 2013 5:16 p.m. PST |
Hi Mashrewba I used some rather fantastic (and expensive) superglue that was given to me by a friend who works for a well-known special effects company here in Wellington NZ… "Insta-Cure" by Avetech – amazing stuff! |
