The theme for YakTribe Comp 53 is... Toy Time!

Use a children’s toy to make something. Whether it’s a bit of terrain, a vehicle for your favourite setting, a “trash bash” walker, mechanoid or whatever, let’s see what you can make out of the local toy shop or your kids toy collection.

Just over 6 weeks for this one, competition will close Sunday 13th of October 2024 (How can it be September next week? Where did this year go?). Usual caveat of it actually being Monday morning.

Rules apply except where they don't yadda yadda. Go!


Illustrious Yaks!

I summon @Fold and @Tiny as joint winners of Comp 52, along with some weirdo called @Stoof, and @MedMos as combination quickest entries and 2nd/3rd places to suggest themes for Comp 53.

If we can get suggestions in asap I'll set a poll to end towards the end of next week, so we can have a comp of just over six weeks long.

I will take one from the brainstorming thread:

"What happened here?!"

Build a cleanup operative.

Someone has to tidy up after the constant explosions, gang fights, THUNDERCUBE bouts and terribly messy industrial accidents. Be it the lowly dome janitor with his trusty mop and bucket, a top of the range cleaning servitor decked out with autobrooms and soap cannons, or the one who has to drag the bodies away on the streets of Mordheim. Fighting the good fight - a constantly losing battle against the torrent of filth.
 
I'm stealing another of @Hawkins44 's ideas...

"Lights on, gentlemen!" - Paint something enlightening, or enlightened. The model should include a lamp, headlamp, floodlight, spotlight, candle, fire, torch, holy halo, mysterious power source, or any other source of light. And before you ask, no, Lasguns do not count.
 
Is this a record for getting suggestions in? It seems quick, especially given that there are four (due to joint winners).

I'm in! There'll be no better excuse to transform that broken toy helicopter into a menacing Valkyrie/Vulture/whatever flying, grimdark gunship and/or troop transport. Progress in my plog, as and when it happens.

I'm currently away from home, so won't be able to start anything for a week or so, but I hope to have a go. I make quite a bit out of toys anyway.
 
Right… so you’re really pushing me to do Gaslands stuff aren’t you?!

Hmmm… 🤔

Does ScaleXtric count as a kids toy??

I’ve got a bit idea… so I will probably not get anything done

Edit: I have a big idea
