Picked up materials




In other news... I picked up materials so I can start working on some terrain for 40k. I currently have:

- A large stock of cardboard boxes
- Styrofoam pieces in interesting configurations
- Aluminum Cans, etc

Stuff I picked up:

- Basic craft glue in large quantity
- 1 1/4 inch plastic grommets (usually for making shower curtains) (x 16 - 2 packets)
- 3/16 x 3 x 36 inch balsa wood
- Clay (air dry variety)
- Glue gun
- 100 pack of glue gun sticks

DAS Modeling Clay
Sobo all purpose glue
 DAS modeling clay is nice because it air dries, so you can put it over things that can't go in the oven (although it's probably not a good idea to put a thick layer over something rigid, it might crack).

I picked up Sobo for cardboard, etc.


The general idea will be to use the two pieces of Styrofoam to make buildings, aluminum cans to make tanks on the roof, or on the the flat terrain near the outside of the building (depending on what looks better at the time), the balsa wood will be used to make an inset door in one side, and maybe bunker windows (depending on how ambitious I am feeling). The cardboard will be the base, and other miscellaneous parts I need.  The rings are to give some protrusions on the outside of the building a Sci-Fi feel. The clay will coat the Styrofoam so it will be less damageable. I don't know if I will need the hot glue gun for this project, but I foresee my need for it in the immediate future.

I'll throw some pictures up here eventually and show progress and whatnot.

Cheers!
