Odd Shaped Things
« on: February 16, 2012, 01:00:10 PM »
Hi all, right I admit it I have a strange obsession with collecting things that in my warped vision look like they could be used for gaming..........These latest ones I have posted here in the hope that you guys who play a vast range of games can steer me towards what they could be used for.

(extra points awarded for those that can guess where i got them)

Some form of packaging, all excellent for the futuristic table of course.  8)

I would have guessed earphone packaging, but they're far too large for that.

Join the 2 half spheres namely 1 and 2 together and you have a balloon or keep them as is and cut off the extending bit and add barrels and you have turrets for either WWI and or futuristic defenses or trench network? Likewise the 3 circular shapes could be turrets or cupola on top of turrets? As for the Wii tennis racket console game package at a guess thingy me bobs - turn them into an air conditioning vent or industrial structure one sees on futurist wargames tables which look cool but make no sense. Alternatively stop worrying about it and throw them away. Recycling suggestions may be tricky as we have no idea what they are made from though they look like typical vacuform packaging.

No.3 could be android breasts.

Being sensible, what size are these bits?

Can we go back to talking about breasts?

If you're playing 6mm sci-fi, you already have 98% of some great scenery from them!
