First Furniture

Various bits and bobs slapped together make a mighty fine med-tank.  This is the first piece of furniture for what my daughter has taken to calling my space-doll-house.  (“But Daddy, it has a kitchen and everything!) It’s not a doll house, it’s miniature wargame terrain, and they aren’t dolls, they are action figures.  Sheesh.

You probably recognize the black base; it’s just a standard hex-base for 28mm miniatures. The clear tube is the top from a hairspray bottle, the vertical tubes are spaghetti noodles, and the yellow bit is the cap to a superglue bottle.  I’ve been generating a lot of those lately.  It would be nice to leave the clear plastic unpainted, but I’m not sure how well that’s going to work out.  Do I spray coat the whole thing and scrape off what I don’t need, or skip the spray coat and just basecoat in black with a brush?  Any advice from you folks about in internetlandia?
