We recently replaced some old light-fittings. I think they were probably from the 1980 era and their shapes were quite interesting and the wargaming side of my mind was thinking how can I use this for my sci-fi terrain. The lights were dismantled, cleaned and prepared with a coat of PVA glue. They were then painted in a series of metallic looking paints

You are very creative! The rounded shape reminds me of vintage Sci-Fi.
ReplyDeleteThank you, you would almost expect Flash Gordon to pop out from behind them.
DeleteGood thinking there Peter- the Light Fittings when painted up look rather 'Art-Deco' / 'Gothic' - just the thing for 40K etc. Regards. KEV.
ReplyDeleteThanks KEV. I am often on the lookout for objects to use, more often when walking around the hardware store.
DeleteVery effective Peter and a good way to re-use the fittings.
ReplyDeleteI was pleased with the result with no cost to me. Thanks.
DeleteInnovative and environmentally friendly! I love your approach of looking at old junk with an imaginative eye. I look at stuff and think it might be useful but rarely come up with any ideas. The use of wooden dowls for gabions a being a rare exception.
ReplyDeleteRecycling has its benefits. I did like your wooden dowel baboons - very clever.
DeleteGood spot, they look great. As they say, never throw anything away as you never know...
ReplyDeleteThese worked out well. Sometimes they don't work out and still make their way into the bin.
DeleteReally cool. They look excellent on your wargaming table. Cheers, Karl
ReplyDeleteThank you. They were quick and easy to make which is always a bonus.
