Orbital Gleaner

Kitchen cleaner bottle, Port wine stoppers, ping-pong ball, leaky faucet cartridge, electrical tape, gypsum-board anchors, alligator clips, blowdryer grille, wire cap, turkey bones; and unused bits from a 1/35 Panther kit. I anticipate that this vessel orbits Earth in the space junk field, culling out the more dangerous and/or valuable bits. Royal Thai Air Force elephant insignia seem appropriate.










Cetaceous Dirigible

Cranberry juice jug, blowdryer handle, orange juice pulltab, gypsum board anchors, clothespin, a few turkey bones. I found the teddybear eyes in my mother's sewing stash years ago, finally put 'em to use.







Plastic Bottle #1

 More budget modeling. Plastic spray bottle, don't remember when I saved it, but the shape reminded me of a bird taking off from water. BIC BBQ lighter for the head. Turkey bones. Other bits from the junkbox. Continuing the bird theme, I added old stork decals from Academy's kit of WWI-ace Georges Guynemer's Nieuport.
