Respect, this is quite an achievement!
I got out of building models because I never figured out what to do with the results afterward... It was fun planning/building/painting stuff (I did warplanes mostly, integrated them into dioramas in the end) but once I was done they just took up space and became dust traps. Tried getting into Warhammer but never had enough interested friends to make it worthwhile...
So what I'm building up to is: What are you going to do with it now?
This one looks pretty cool in that you can just put it on your bookshelf:
I've recently gotten into a war game called gaslands, uses hot wheels scale cars for units. Lots of fun customizing my team! And it's really cheap unlike Warhammer minis.
Shit that looks really cool. My father in law has a collection of like +500 hot wheels, I bet he'd be down to give it a go.
The first picture shows that it’s sitting on my board game shelf!
Thanks for the replies! I didn't get the scale before, it's smaller than I thought - again, well done!
These things in particular are meant to serve as book shelf ends/spacers/ organizers to help keep things on your shelf upright. If your bookshelf is already full then I guess it wouldn’t have much use unless you remove objects.
