Meet Wheems! Back in 1987 Steven Spielberg backed a cute little movie called “Batteries Not Included” which saw a group of tiny alien spaceships help tenants in a dilapidated old building take back their homes from an unscrupulous developer. I fell in love with the quirky little saucers way back then and now that I can, I’ve decided to build my own complete set. Wheems is the baby of the family and will be joined (eventually) by the entire family, once I have somewhere big enough to display them lol.
