Golden Astronaut: Resupply Mission - Pt 3

I tend to almost have to schedule a time to 'play' around here and when I do, it's generally for a short period of time. It also involves a lot of looking for all my junk - oops, I mean highly desirable collectibles - moving stuff out of the way to get to other things, etc. For example: I love this bookshelf diorama, but it takes some effort to uncover it from its place on the shelf. Generally it's chock full of other toys that need to be moved out of the way. The rocket ship in today's photos was easy to get to. Anywho, after setting all these pieces up into an ad hoc supply depot, it occured to me that, while the concept was good, I didn't have the toys to present a somewhat more believable scene. Soooo now I'm on the hunt for at least a couple of buildings and some 'spacey' crates LOL. Wargaming supplies in the 25mm-28mm / HO scale size range appear to be good candidates for the ideas pinging around in mein kopf! :-) Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Golden Astronaut: Resupply Misssion Pt 1

I've been wanting to do some fun photo set-ups ever since I started doing the Triang SpaceX photo essays, but just never got around to it. I've been loving all the space toy coverage over at Moonbase Central by Woodsy, Scoop, and Wotan and that has spurred me on to do a little playing of my own LOL

Soooo, here's the deal. I'm setting this series in another solar system. Why? Because that way no one can get on me about the earth not looking right, or the stars not being in the right place, or what-the-heck ever right? :-) Besides, it's more fun setting up your own worlds with your own rules and your own scenarios. Culling whatever toys from The Cave looked right for the photos, you'll see a mix of different manufacturers in the days to come.

In a Solar System beyond ours: The Outer Moons, having had minimal bases established, now require resupply from the Main Base Supply Depot. It was hard picking out favorite shots so sometimes essentially the same photo appears twice. Re-supply ships are whatever I could get to in a hurry and that looked good with the 25mm figures of SpaceX and GA.

Enjoy! Opa Fritz

I'm gonna need a crane or some other kind of rig for ships this tall

I reasoned that any hatches to load supplies in would probably be towards the front of this spaceship

It occured to me that trying to set-up a decent supply depot will need more work than just pulling out some toy train barrels, but for now this'll do
