More "Heavy Rescue 411: Ganymede Station Edition" Artwork Updates - Painting the Box, Choosing the Toys, and the Gilmark Space Car

Space Plastics chosen for the project.

 Some additional items for this ongoing project to see. Originally envisioned as a quick series of 3 minute uploads rather than an enormous 20 minute epic even I would fall asleep during.

If scoring along at home the goal of the project is a parody of those Weather Channel shows with guys in foil suits pulling tractor trailers out of the snow. Only it's on Ganymede, and there's an alien.

No Vintage Space Toys Are Harmed In The Creation Of My Artwork

Project best summed up by this 50 second preview trailer.

Today's installment covered my intentions for the box form, seen in all these uploads in a barely begun state only meant to suggest a off-world location.

I should also note that the point here is to make artwork, for display and sale, which is what I do for a living. No harm will come to the toy pieces chosen, everything is very carefully packed up, wrapped, kept safe etc. The red ship won't be glued to anything, wire will hold it in place. Next owner will be able to remove it from the background unscathed.

Then after they've had a 2nd life as art subjects they can be cleaned off and repurposed, restored, eBayed, or left on some shelf with everything else hoarded away. For now they're part of my supplies box, and I will look after them so the next person can have their turn.
