No such thing Mike, once you have them you will find other uses :)

Well! Those are considerably better than I'd imagined creating when I suggested grey board, a plastic ball and some dowel!

Well done, sir! Well done indeed!

Seriously impressive. They look good and go well with your other scenic bits.

Awesome. I wish I'd thought of that.
I picked up 3 Revell 4d puzzle (cardboard) Tie Fighters for 10 euro each. Supposedly they are 1:41.
I've yet to build them, so don't know how they look next to a 28mm stormtrooper.

Thanks, everyone! Hopefully, the players will enjoy the scenario tonight and they add to the look of the table for them.

Sgt_T, I would go ahead and build one and see...!
