hi all, where are the Andrayads? Having a picnic at Lesser Packingsley, it seems. All right, get to the point: this is a pretty darned obvious thing to do, and probably ten thousand people will write in to say been there, done that, bought the paint brush - and show pics too - but here's a project which is on hold due to my studies and work. And it's one which is really easy to do. A bit of paint (or textured paint), a few details added, and you get Orky buildings - although the white one could do for Tau too. And just the size for Epic. I can't remember the provenance of the brown packaging, but the white one came with my mobile phone. And practically all electronic gadgets have this sort of stuff with them. Pure gold ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Nice Van. I'm looking forward to seeing these finished. I'm planning on making something out of the styrofaom that came with a printer cartridge. |

Add fine sand to paint, and voila'. ![]() Yeah, my sons' sandbox is at an all-time low after some recent terrain making escapades. Buy a big tube of cheap grey acrylic paint from the local $1 store, add about 30-40% volume of sand/talc/crushed shells/gravel etc and slap it on. Great for stopping expanded PS foam from looking like expanded PS foam too. |

Mate found that the little plastic tubs that Ink Jet cartridges are packed in make pretty sweet Tau or other modern looking buildings. |

should look really nice Van. The white one would make a very nice tau outpost, though for the grey one im thinking less orky, more deserted desert citadel. PS; as no one else said anything (and I'm sure you'd be disappointed otherwise): Seen it done before. ![]() |

Shame I threw my mobile phone packaging away. I knew I should have kept hold of it! They have nice flat surfaces for putting the stands on as well. Can?t wait to see what you do with them. --------------- |
