Work in Progress - Base Camp 12.

Some work in progress.

Picked up a set of three 'double cottages' from the very nice chap at Wargames Model Mods on eBay - my set was unfortunately missing two long wall sections so I contacted the seller and within a couple of days they had sent out the missing pieces - plus another whole building by way of apology!

For £20.00 plus p&p you get three very basic, but very pleasant buildings made up of two long walls, two peaked short end walls, a base and a two section roof. Also included are several cut door frames and window ledges to be used as you desire. There are several variations to each long and short wall so you can mix and match these for various combinations.

The buildings are lovely and simple to build. With a good glue and some handy elastic bands I was able to complete all four in about 20 mins. As mentioned, the roofs are in two sections, one slightly smaller than the other. These can either be stuck on, or as I decided, with a bit more work I braced the roof sections so they can be removed for play.

I reckon the possibilities of uses for these buildings are great! With a bit of work they could be military quarters for a U.N.I.T. base. The long structure brought to mind movie style WW2 prisoner of war huts so maybe this as an option? Or perhaps they are simple cottages for a fantasy setting? Suggestions please!

Although they are still to be painted (I am trying to finish other buildings at the moment) I could not resist laying out a quick WW2 set up to see what they looked like with figures and scenery...

All is quiet at base camp 12.

Karl found guard duty particularly boring.

The quiet was about to be disturbed!

Doctor Who - I, Robot.

Robot grow big...

A newly regenerated Doctor joins UNIT in an investigation into the theft of top secret plans and equipment from supposedly secure premises. Sarah discovers that the raids have been carried out by a robot invented by scientist Professor Kettlewell while he was working for Think Tank, a body involved in developing emerging technologies.

The robot, K1, has been reprogrammed on the orders of Miss Winters, the director of Think Tank, and used to obtain the means for constructing a disintegrator gun with which the Scientific Reform Society - of which she is a leading member - can steal the computer codes controlling the nuclear weapons of the world's leading powers. In this way, the SRS hopes to hold the world to ransom unless its demands for a purer way of life are met.

In the bunker, Winters has Kettlewell make the international computer linkups so they can use the destructor codes. Kettlewell still believes Winters is bluffing, but she disabuses him of the notion. If the world governments do not give in, she will fire the missiles. The countdown begins.

Kettlewell has a change of heart and tries to stop the countdown, but Jellicoe pulls a gun on him. Harry and Sarah have escaped their bonds and Harry knocks Jellicoe to the ground. Kettlewell holds the countdown while the other two open the doors. As they exit the bunker, K1 swings the disintegrator gun on them.

Sarah tries to convince K1 that Think Tank are evil. K1 struggles with the dilemma and fires the gun, disintegrating Kettlewell. With a wail, the robot cries out that it has killed its creator and collapses. With K1 apparently disabled, the Doctor and the UNIT troops make their way into the bunker. The robot then suffers an electronic mental breakdown and tries to activate the nuclear weapons.

As K1 exits the bunker, the Brigadier fires at it with the disintegrator gun. Instead of being destroyed, the robot grows to gigantic size. It picks up Sarah like a doll and heads towards the nearby village.

It places her on a rooftop as a pitched battle takes place between K1 and UNIT troops, while the Doctor races back with the virus. Driving by K1's feet in his roadster, Bessie, the Doctor throws the batch of virus at it. The virus instantly spreads over the robot, throwing its growth into reverse. It shrinks to doll size and then dissolves completely.
