My Alamo for 1/32 scale figures.

 This model of mine is not to historical scale but has most of the features from the original, based on modern interpretations.  I used wood, foam, glue, self hardening clay, and the plastic church façade from the old BMC Alamo playset.  It's too big to set up in my house except in sections to photograph my figures. Here it is out on my lawn, the first time my entire Alamo  has been set up since I built it several years ago. 


The rear of the church is aligned to the east. Next March 6th I want to have it set up to catch the sunrise. 


According to modern sources I have all of the cannon in their places. 






Next time I'd like to set this up with all of my Mexican and Texian figures.

Attack of the Neptunians. LOD plastic alien figures.

 LOD Enterprises has a series of "Another Plan from Outer Space" figures. I painted mine as Neptunian blue amphibian like beings. These Neptunians are armed with energy weapons to bladed weapons. Blade weapons are from a home casting mold of Medieval weapons. Only the energy weapons carrying beings wear protective clothing with pistols and bladed weapons going to nude aliens. As their genitals retract they have no problem with nudity.
