Mouse Trap Car

This is a mouse trap car that I had to make for physics. I had a lot of help from my dad. I got one of the best scores of the day. It went a total of seventy feet. I also went 6 ft. in 1.48 seconds.

Table Top Terrain - 3" Walls WIP

Was thinking that I want more portable terrain that I can easily put in boxes and take with me. It will also make it easier to store. So I thought I would start with making some simple walls that were battle damaged. Nothing to fancy. The most important factor here is making them fit in a box to transport. So I went with keeping the terrain under three inches tall. I will have several projects like this were the terrain pieces will not exceed the three inch height. The material for these pieces is plaster. Just made a frame and poured the mixture in, let is set up and started busting them into pieces. Used a dental tool to break up the edges and make some bullet holes. I will end up making more bullet holes. The holes I made were mostly due to the fact there were bubbles so I had to make use of them.

Cheers,
John...
