Mass Production

This blue thing is a bit of sprue from some Eagle Games figures.
I always figured those figure sprues would be useful, that is the little circle / disc thingy would be.
Selenite with all the stuff needed to make more.  A bit of solid plastic rod shown as a while line.
Airfix 1/72nd scale WWII USAAF MP with an Airfix WWI British Infantry head conversion to a US Army MP 1917 to 1945, standing next to a Selenite.  
I gathered up all the yellow ones, and trimmed up a bunch of those little Eagle Games sprue discs.
This should be enough Selenites but since they are easy to make, who knows?

Selenites

Here is a Selenite from First Men in the Moon.
He started off as a little bug from the dollar store.
About 30 years ago I got a couple bags of about 100 of these.
Long term planning is essential in this hobby.
Now I am finally using them.

Moon Cow

In the book and movie, First Men in the Moon, by HG Wells the men discover a large caterpillar creature.
I discovered this one at Dollar General.
It's pretty plain and more a worn then a caterpillar but in my universe this the moon cow.
He looks like he needs a happy face drawn on the head.  I probably won't do that.
It's a very big creature, probably work fine for 1/72nd scale, 60mm and maybe even GI Joe.
Batman in 1/72nd scale.

The tail looks just like the middle.

Moon cow and Selenite.

Dune Buggy

I like the paint job on this car, and the eyes in the tires look like a cat.
Since I don't do Deadpool, I think I may reassign this car.
And give it to Catwoman.
The original dune buggy was the Meyers Manx and that is a cat name.
Joker is fond of surfing and Catwoman has worked with him in the past so this could be a good car for her.
