HO train buildings.

Bought both for $1 each at a charity thrift store and so far assembled the Shanty with Water Tank & Windmill.

A little small on scale but can work for background and terrain.

Giovanni shampoo and conditioner bottle tops become consoles for sci-fi settings.

Screens printed from internet sources.

Flip caps cut off become touch pads.

stunned by your imagination !!! Rep+

You continue to find great buys and turn them into awesome displays! Our stores in my town don't have the stuff your finding.

Wonderful ideas! You got me in the habit of inspecting the molded packing inserts of every electronic box I buy now. You're a bad influence!

Seriously, these are fun ideas and I love seeing what new props and characters that you come up with.

Very nice !

Added some scatter.

Suction cup view screen and astro-navigation dial. Also base of captains chair.

Zypods packaging and several different caps provide the rest of the scatter.

I've been trying to make 3D terrain/walls. The hard thing is making everything destroyable and being able to make characters stand on all 3D hindering terrain.

Try Dollar Tree 1” foam counting blocks from teacher supplies section.

When I started, I began with wood blocks that were 1.5 inches. Then I made 3x3 blocks for elevated terrain. I'm experimenting making ladders and such. I wish I was better at using 3D modeling software to make it easier to make.

Northern California Michael’s stores



Here in Northern California, it's a regular school curriculum project to build a Spanish mission. This year, with viritual schooling it looks like Michael's (the craft store) is counting on this project getting canceled because the supplies are on deep discount.
Foliage and flocking forex. Tile roof panels.
I picked up what I thought I could use...
A family of 5, 47 cents.
A stone pond wall, 97 cents.
Water fountain, 47 cents.
Bell on wood frame, 47 cents.
Well, 47 cents.
Split rail fencing, 4 pieces, 47 cents.
24x8" Spanish tile mat, 97 cents. 3 printed tiles ~ 1".
15x24" grass flocked mat, $1.97
5 doves, 47 cents.

I did not grab the plants, trees, animals, religious structures, etc...
In NorCal? Check it out.

Great finds (as usual)! Who's the figure in the well with the gun? Michael's is great. Would O scale be a better scale to use in relation to the Heroclix figures? I think 1:55 diecasts work good too.

Next to the well is an old GW metal fig. 40K or Necromunda. Mechanical arm.

O scale is always good. 1:55 is usually ok.

great imagination is the 1st step to 3-d terrain. Plastic bottles/containers, packing material, broken stuff lying around, all can be turned into terrain with some paint, and glue.
