Hi everyone,

Has anyone ever made up a list of favorite re-use hacks to make terrain and other pieces for models?

Things like....

- old recycled electronics to get wire for models [we learned this from the manager of our favorite game store] Once we learned this we have had great fun drilling little holes and adding wires and cables all over the place on our Ork army.

- we have had fun using beach plastic to get naturally textured plastic for bases (and cleans up the beach)

- we just posted the trick of using a 409 bottle's spray portion to make a laser turret [am sure we're not the first to have thought of it - and wondering if there are some bottles which are even better than the 409 ones] http://battlegaming1.blogspot.com/2018/08/laser-turret-from-cleaning-fluid-bottle.html

Was wondering if anyone has favorite plastic packages to turn into buildings or other things like model and kit-bash type enhancements?

Thanks
