About to start making minefields for my 10mm chaps, any ideas on what household stuff i could use?

I'm looking for halfround shapes. I'm going to stick them on a surface and then cover with basing stuff. I want to have raised pieces to show where the mines are buried.

But i don't want to use putty, i don't want to wait untill it's dry. I need them tonight for a solo game.

Use a stamp on a piece of plastic card. Make some bumps.

Packet of plastic British WWI or WWII infantry and a decapitation.

(I like the red lentils idea.)

Good idea, but don't have them lying about. maybe black pepper corns?

If you have any 1/72 stories lying about you could chop them up
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Allright, thanks for the brainstorming, but i'm not getting these finished tonight now, just ran out of glue  ~X( ~X( ~X( ~X( ~X(

Will have to take the long route into finishing these, will use basing material and let it dry overnight.

Got lucky and found i had a tube of 'dollar store' super glue lying about somewhere.




Now to work on these with texture paint.
