28mm wooden industrial palettes

28mm Industrial Palettes
Wooden palettes are great little pieces of scatter terrain. I love doing multi purpose terrain and these will work for all your modern, post-apoc and sci-fi games.

One of the issues with a lot of scatter terrain, is that it'll fall over and get pushed around during games. Often just becoming an annoyance or getting ignored. And like most gamers I have lots of small scatter pieces. Gluing some barrels, crates and cannisters to a palette will prevent that and give the whole thing a bit more mass.

Materials:

    Popsickle sticks
    Match sticks
    Super glue (or wood glue)
    Clippers (or hobby knife)


Step 1:
For each palette you'll ned 4 popsickle sticks and three matches.


Step 2:
Cut of the round ends with your clippers.


Step 3:
Cut the four popsickle sticks in half, for a total of eight pieces.


Step 4:
I use super glue (but if you're patient you can of cause use wood glue). Line up the three matches on three popsickle sticks. Went it's lined up, I dap superglue on all three popsickle sticks and drop the matches into it.



Step 5:
Turn it over and add the last two popsickle sticks. Doing it like this will make sure you don't run out of space before using all 5 sticks.


Step 6:
Turn over the palette and add three sticks to the other side.


Done palettes:
Using super glue makes it fast to build these. If using wood glue, I suggest you get a very large wor space going. So you can start multible palettes at the same time. I build 12 palettes in an hours worth of hobby time.
