Okay still cruising the aisle of my Hardware store looking at other ideas of plumbing parts and what else can be done. here is my sort of idea of my engineering and engine room
Now I do have other ideas of other thing that can be used as well. Like Cat 5 connectors as computers.
Plus other items that can be used as well you can see them here;http://silo1313.blogspot.com/search/label/scratch%20build Thanks for looking.

Meant to cross post to other areas but was timed out. Go figure. |

Happens more and more. Those look great. I have actually yet to make my stop at the hardware store to pick up some of those pipe pieces for engines but I will do it soon. |

Ha. I got a locktimeout thing when posting in response even. |

And another one. Let's see if I can get a hat trick. |

Thanks now I know it's not just me!  It's a slow moving project overall but it sure is fun figuring out new things from everyday things.  |

Those look really great. Thanks for sharing your pics and info. I like the idea for your Spaceport too, and the new ship you've purchased for that. I've been working on acquiring some new stuff also, and recently picked up some interstellar space planes/shuttles to place around the complex. Some need a little repair work, and all could use a spiffy new paintjob, but they go nicely with 15mm minis too. |

Thanks for the great post WM,
I strongly suggest that you get your hands on any (old) computer /electronics stuff.
Old Hard disks, motherboards, power supplies will yield tons of stuff with minimal tools required.Just be careful of any sharp solder bits or potentially toxic materials ( lead in solder, dried flux etc ). Btw , who makes that mini ? Z |

Zrunelord the miniature is from Rebel Minis I think it part of his milita set |

Thanks for the info WM.
Still can't locate him under RM's Militia though. Old ink jet printers, floppy & CD drives will also yield gears, toothed belts ( great for tracks)and other sundry. Z |
