More sheddy style buildings based on cable clips.
Image
These were based upon some random bobbins
Image
The transmitters a favourite its based on 2 cable clips a cocktail stick and two rawl plug bits.
Image
These marshes are foamboard (which is sold underneath pizza) with the sawn cut edge from some insulation foam glued to it. The entirety is painted brown and then the edge is flocked. PVA is used to shiny up the marshy bit and brush bristle reeds make what it is clear. These are designed to work on top of larger flocked bases allowing easy movement through the terrain

Definitely excellent source of techy bits. On my ToEG post there is a drop pod company card made from them as well.

These workshops are based on junk just painted up the one on the left is to electric blocks a cable clip and a rawl plug while the one on a right is a rawl plug chimney, 2 cable clips and a bottle top.
Image
The dohickey is Rawl Plugs and insulation blocks bunged together to make some kind of industrial building.

This is a new toy I've got to make scenery
Image
It's a square hole punch it punches wait for it Square Holes! I had to order it of Ebay as apparently very people want to punch square holes. The reason I wanted it is to make easy 6mm ruins like this.

Take a Strip of card cut it to a width where the hole punch can reach all of it and rule on some guide lines I used a cm line.
Image
I then took the Hole punch and punched in windows at random.
Image
This piece was cut up in roughly triangular shape to make ruins.
Image
Add matchsticks or sprue as guidelines to where you want the floor to go and glue to a base
Image
Add floors on top of the matchsticks
Image
Then paint and flock them up and party
Image
These are exceptionally quick cheap and simple

Exactly the one. It's an odd one to be so difficult to find ideally I was hoping for a rotary punch with different sizes like I use for round holes but nobody makes it. Eventually I realised that was the only thing at a reasonable price suitable.

Great, ordered one to play about with. I was surprised how difficult to find they were as well, when I was looking a year or so back. Found industrial tools that cost a vast amount or tiny side-punch things for card making and nothing in-between. I even tried making my own cutter using a strip of tin can and a hammer … didn't work so well!

Cereal Card, Corrugated Card and matchsticks painted make a nice compound of some description. Would have worked better with a plasticard more rigid base as the flocking soaked through and damaged it.

Working with the walls at 1 to 1 made working these out far easier
