Lab of Absurd MADNESS: Converting trash & toys into minis & also minis into other minis possibly
Junkyard Knights - dissection, and looking over- Bastion-Pop
Bastion pop arrived today and I snipped the bird off and it fell off the dirty clotheswashing machine I was working on and is probably under the machine.
I pulled him apart and cut the “stowed gatling gun off his back and then cut the mounting knob the head was set to rotate on. Destroyed one of the vinyl pegs that held one leg on.
All in all Bastion was very easy to assemble and the vinyl was easily gently cut with pressure applied to a pocket knife. I’m still not sure what I’ll do with Bastion whether I’ll turn his head into an armored turret and cockpit or just put something else where he head used to be. The space where the gatling gun was could hold a little cupola for an infantry mini or a cargo box or some kind of JET-BACKPACK thing. Who knows. I may get more of these as they are kind of easy to work with and they cost around $8. Without his giant SD-kawaii chibi head he looks like of like a (Dream Pod Nine)Heavy Gear or an AT from Votoms(the anime). His (badly posed) gun came out of the arm easily but I was trying to cut it when it did so I guess I got lucky.
Yeah I’m liking how this turned out. Right now he’s just parts so this is probably more “prep” than hobby.
