Some neat shit on this site, but I can't figure out the scale… I think it's 6-7" scale, not 1:18 though…

I don't need any SW stuff, but that site has some very fair prices considering the size of the pieces...
Really? I think they should be about half that. But I'm not into SW stuff either. $7 for a flat door? Figure out opening 2-piece doors, and $7 is worth it for the plastic and engineering. But as one piece? Nope.
Think about the amount of resin used...now think about how much is used in the much smaller pieces we buy that are almost as expensive...
I'm not sure, but this seems like the right place to post this...
I'm building a couple dumpsters and a shipping container for my work in progress, and though I'd share the dimensions I came up with.
20' Dry Shipping Container
L= 13 3/16"
W= 4 3/4"
H = 6"
4 Yard Runoff Dumpster
L = 4 7/16
W= 3 1/8
H (back) = 3 1/2"
H (front) = 2 1/2"
2 Yard Standard Dumpster
L= 4 11/16"
W= 2 1/4"
H= 1 7/8"
Hope these help someone! And please, if I have a measurement wrong, let us know!
Cheers

I like someone to come up with a decent throne for 4" figures
bonus points for a sw emperor's throne. (There is one in POTF but I don't really want to buy 3 throw away figures for 1 dio piece, that's attached to the base.)
After looking at the Hija Aliens base, The idea of designer figure stands could make some caster a nice profit. (Looking at my fighting 118th figure stand also) Something that adds to the dio.
EDIt: I'm looking for a good throne for Cobra Commander (As I don't like the attempts I've made at building one.)

I know it's not an emperor's throne, but saw this at FYE and almost dropped the money on it. Hopefully it goes on sale soon - says it is 7" tall and fits 4" figures.

Emperors throne, get the Hallmark ornament. He is removable with some effort (glued on), perfect throne and perfect scale. I left my emperor in the throne. He looks better than any Hasbro Palp. The eyelet thing on top to hang it unscrews out.
Both those thrones work great for 4" figures. I have both. The GoT one is VERY fragile and the tips of the swords break very easily. I broke almost all of mine when we moved.
There is also some good thrones in the Imaginext line. They will need some painting and some work to make them a good Cobra Commander throne though.
Its not as huge as those other 2.
There is also the Shao Kahn throne.

The Chap Mei Viking ship also comes with a nice throne. This one might be a challenge to get here in the US though.
The new Castle Grayskull also comes with a throne. This one is a little big for 4" figures but Cobra Commander does have an ego problem...

for $70 you can get this custom throne.
and a vintage Castle Grayskull throne. These are pretty cheap on ebay. will still need some work though.
Playmobile has some good thrones that might work. I don't know for sure about these though.

Found this tonight. Anyone tried "magic water"?
It creates a damn awesome water!

Also, I goddamn despise Pinterest but here's some cool links. Finally, I found a use for that shitty site!

There's another water substance I've used to a level of success. It's a form of "EZ water" that comes in two separate containers you have to mix together and then pour in. It dries clear, but I added some green paint for the coloring.

Thanks Eddie! That was actually an older piece I was commissioned. It was a dingy sorta "fantasy" style.
Sorry fellas. I told you, I hate the site. You didn't used to have to sign up to view shit, they only did that in the last year or so. Goddamn annoying.
A filing cabinet would be pretty easy to make from cardstock. Maybe even print a picture of a filing cabinet face and glue it on?
I got dollhouse stuff I can take pics of KT, will take me a bit to get out. But I will. I have lamps also.
Here you go KT. I could not locate the filing cabinet I have. I think it is in a box I cant get to right now. But maybe some of these types might work for you in some manner.

Just found this:

Haven't had time to really dive in, but I'll look at it later.

It says that Lundby stuff is 1:18, but so knows if that's accurate? It's also in Dutch so...
But the funny thing is, the Cheeky Monkey store they list, is literally a mile from my house. So I'll try and check it out on Saturday, because they're closed by the time I get home.

Lundby makes a bunch of furniture that claims to be 1:18. I don't have any, so I can't offer any comparison shots, but here is the link:

Want! But not the stupid figures.
