Making stuff from sprue


As soon as you start playing with plastic toy soldiers, you start to accrue the annoying bits of sprue. The studious gamer may well look at them and say, “Why throw all this plastic out?”

I throw it out …

A better use would be make scenery out of it!!

Seriously.

I am a big fan of scenery, I think about making it all the time. The difficulty comes in the execution.

However, Empireguard (a local-ish hobbyist lunatic) has come up with a gem of an idea. Hugely recommend his work and more WIP pictures can be seen here: http://forum.battlebunker.com/viewtopic.php?p=2712#p2712

  1. What a brilliant idea. I might make something of this on on my miniatures painting and modelling gallery. It's so simple and something everyone will be able to do but, I suspect, not that many people have thought of.

    Thanks very much for sharing. I'll go check out the battle bunker.

    • Sigmar,
      If only I could claim credit for such a great idea. Thanks for the links to your stuff. There's some interesting articles you have too.
