Suddenly had the urge to a bit more in this department, so some inspiration:









Parts for the axle stand; round base is the same size as a 23ml Tamiya paint pot, it'll get cut back later ...





Glued together; inner bit is free to move, once the drill bit is removed :whistle:





Base cut back, feet added; chain was a bit impractical for the peg, so I used some copper wire instead:

Starting on the trolley jack:





Adding wheels and "castors" :whistle:





This isn't going to be a working model, but the handles & lifting are will be poseable:





Working on the notched lifting "cup":





Complete; apart from taking it apart again for painting:




It turned out a bit stumpy TBH :)

Had a go a some cardboard boxes... started by finding a template on t'internet & then putting a carboard texture on it, printed & cut out a few ...




Also cut two in half & lined the insides ...




Half boxes got some bits in them & put on my shelves ... I'm still hoping to fill these with stuff I've entirely made myself ... I'm getting there but they still need a lot more small stuff - no-one has 1:1 shelves that don't have a load of kipple on them ...



... the Tamiya kit boxes are 1/2 sized versions of the Christmas Boxes I posted on TC :)
