Those of you who read my blog will remember that a couple weeks ago I posted an article (Click Here) about some nifty microphone shaped bubble-wands I found in the toy aisle while on a trip to the local Dollar Tree store. I thought the tops had good possibility to be converted into some sort of sci-fi building for my upcoming 10mm sci-fi project. Perhaps storage tanks, or a communications center of some kind
And, so I came up with these, seen in the photo below, which were the subject of the article I linked to above. When I shared these constructions on The Minaitures Page someone asked if I had done anything with the handle parts. I hadn't, and in fact had tossed them into the recycle bin, seeing only the tops as being useful.
The question, though, became something of a challenge to me and was a bee in my bonnet. So, it wasn't long before I rescued the handles from the bin and pondered their usefulness. I immediately got the idea of some sort of towers. So I sat down at my work table, and after a little cutting and gluing, came up with this:
The central piece is a left over part from the oxygen apparatus when my Dad was in the hospital a few years ago, and it had been tossed into my parts bin. I thought it would make a nice central unit for my two towers.
I think it turned out really nice, and am pleased with the addition to my 10mm Sci-Fi scenery.
