Whirlie and Mister Klunkie

Two more "NPCs" from the VSF TTRPG that I ran a few years ago. Both were inventions of "Grandpa", and are 28mm scale.

Mister Klunkie - height: 6" to top of periscope - meant as a land clearing machine with a giant claw for grabbing & tearing unwanted growth, a drill to expedite the removal of stumps and the ever-useful flamethrower. A bigger automaton made from lengths of PVC plumbing pipes, a plastic sheetrock anchor screw and plastic sheeting. Ignition tube for flamethrower is copper wire, primed black and painted copper. It may sound like a lot of work just to get the natural color, but the copper wire discolors when exposed to the lacquer used to protect & seal the figure.

Whirlie - height: 2" - the partner to Mister Klunkie. He zipped ahead of his lumbering counterpart to clear away entangling vegetation & scare off animals with his internally mounted, self-loading shotgun. The blades spinning about its midsection acted as a gyrostabilizer. A short length of PCV pipe with a pair of notches cut out of one end for the artillery wheel. Rivets are plastic rod glued into holes drilled into its surface as are the blades.
