A short blog post today about Sci-Fi boxes and Geebles.


If you don't know what Greebles are, it's a term first used by model makers during the making of Star Wars back in the 70's. It means all the fiddly detail bits that are added to things like vehicles and buildings to make them look more interesting and they also help add a sense of scale. There is a fine article about greebles on this Den of Geek page.
In the ebay kit I sell you get a bunch of resin greebles and also two resin boxes onto which the greebles can be attached in whatever ways you want! the image below shows one such configuration.

You can check out more of the photos from this setup on my blog post here
Also, the greebles can be bought on Shapeways here and the greebles and boxes are on Shapewas too!

Just a little update to say that my Corig-8 robot is now on Shapeways.

I built him a few years back after getting some kind comments from model train builders about my corrugated line-side huts, and thought it would be fun to build a corrugated robot! After playing around with some ideas the Corig-8 droid became a big lumbering robot. He's made to work with 28/32mm figures but on his base he measures 45mm tall!

You can still buy him from my ebay store here.

And he's now on Shapeways! You can buy him with gun arms or just normal arms although I am thinking of adding a third kit which will more resemble the eBay kit with the full set of arms that you can attach yourself.
