Hello all. I have a bunch of these tall pringle cans that I decided to keep because they might come in handy for something. What should I do with them all?

In gw's first 'how to make war games terrain' book, they made a whole orc village with Pringle tubes; round huts, watch tower etc. Something similar to that would use them to good effect. Stone watch towers are another good use, but you only really need one on a table.

Storage tanks! Wrap strips of cardboard around them horizontally, and push some tiny nails or pins through to be reinforcing rivets.




Or for fantasy, towers.

There are also MDF-terrain companies who specifically sell MDF parts to slot around pringles cans, allowing you to convert them on the cheap.

what they said, they make great towers of all sorts

Can also cut them in half long ways and make habitats

The lids are a certain type of plastic that does not let stuff stick to it, good for a palette for paint or super glue

Yes, a Pringles can was the basis of my round castle tower - just covered in strips of thin cut foam.

But, I am sure you do not need many fantasy castle towers...
