A couple weeks ago I ordered the four Neanderthal packs from Acheson Creations. I really didn't have a firm plan for using them, but I liked them, and I've been buying toy dinosaurs at the swap meet for years. Shortly after ordering my cavemen, I came upon four Happy Meal Flintstone buildings at the swap meet. As you would expect they are a little crazy but at the price of 50 cents each they looked like they had some potential so I decided to buy them and remodel them for use with my cavemen and dinosaurs. I've attached some pictures of the Flintstone Happy Meal buildings in their original "Happy Meal" condition and the remodeled versions I have done. I don't have all five different Happy Meal versions in my collection (so far). The four I have are the yellow one, two of the light grey ones, and one of the peach color ones with the bones standing upright on either side of the door. I added quite a lot of Milliput to my versions and then gave them a new paint job. It was a fun project… those buildings, the Neanderthals, and the dinosaurs may someday receive a visit from Dr. Who. "Who" knows…

Nice work!
In addition to those too-toylike Flintmobiles (if cartoon toys can even be "too-toylike"), there's a very nice, more realistic (there I go again!) Hot Wheels Flintmobile that's almost perfectly sized for 28mm cave people:
They're cheap on Ebay. |

Well, the Scooby team recently had time-travel trouble and landed in Bedrock to solve a mystery!
(This Team-Up series is amazingly good — every issue is superbly deeply written!)

Excellent work! I just picked up a set on eBay to see if I can do the same. Seems like they would work well in Fantasy settings too…perhaps as Orc or Dwarf houses… |
