Title: Quick gang, i need some ideas
Post by: petercooman on 06 August 2016, 11:46:50 AM
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.

Like this:

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.

Red lentils, coat of quick-set epoxy, paint.

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.)

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.

Maybe plastic screw caps? Something like these:
