Post by: Raider4 on 13 October 2011, 08:19:36 PM
Not mine, and not even 10mm, but I find this sort of stuff so inspiring:

Shows what you can make out of an old keyboard & drinking bottle tops.

The Fruitshoot bottle tops are a neat idea, makes me wanna try something out for our Sci-Fi range.

Yep - that's from Michael at Angel Barracks: nice guy although he likes the wrong scale [6mm...phooey  :) ] - he supported Nikfest last year. Talented old so-and-so too  ;)

A freind uses those metal mint tins as the basis for WW2 pill boxes - covered in filler and sprayed grey.  The hinge bits act as the firing slits.

Some really great ideas there from Michael at Angelbarracks. The keyboard keys and bottle tops look the business.
