Moo good to just throw away

After eating a frozen yogurt (an acquired taste) I was left with this flexible but quite sturdy plastic top.

Penny for size (yes I know dear I haven't made the bed yet this morning!)
 Now much to my Wife's continued annoyance I'm never one to throw things away.  With the inspirational though of "ah I could use this for ............ ".

So here's the dilemma and challenge for all you keen wargames terrain bloggers. What the hell could I do with it?

Answers on a post card or just add your suggestions in the comment box.

By the way nothing that involves an excess amount of discomfort and K - Y jelly will be excepted.

A bun in the oven?

As mentioned in a previous article - Here - I have been slowly building up an old  west/mexican town.
Which is nearly complete, apart from one building I must obtain from Frontline,   FLAT ROOF BUNGALOW WITH THATCHED PORCH.



Which I will use as a Marshall's offfice.

While painting a donkey powered grain mill by Arthitecs of War - See here.

Along with the millers scratch built dwelling (made from a card craft box - as seen in another wargamers blog, which I can't remember who and where).


 
I felt that an end product was needed, yes bread. Therefore needed a bread oven something like this.


Ever faithfull 'Milliput' to action and turned out this.



On the right is the wooden door and to left are to loaves of freshly backed bread, yum!
Inside believe me are glowing embers.
Not to happy with colour, may have to re-paint for the third time!

Support you local sheriff, sorry shop


A plug for my local independent game store in Bristol UK.
With genuine friendly and approachable staff.  They also have their own shop cat *

AREA 51




Has a none updated website.  Best to catch-up with them on their facebook page.  CLICK HERE


What do they sale?

New and second hand;

boardgames
card games
figure - mainly Games workshop, but also some others
scenery/terrain
paints
graphic novels/comics
DVDs
T-shirts

If they haven't got it they can try and get it.

Where are they?
 Location and contact details -   CLICK HERE

Why should we use independent shops?

Mainly one word,  variety

Ok so the prices of say card/boardgames maybe more expensive than on line shops.  But usually only by a couple of pounds (under the RRP) and hey, no wait, just take it home and play.

Figures are about the same price as on line, certainly cheaper than a well known high street shop (will not even advertise their name, damn already have!).

Also like area 51 you may pick up a second hand bargain in both figures and games.

Don't be one of the 'drones', try your independent game store today.


* Please note your independent game store may not have one of these.

Just watched Richard III king in the car park on 4 oD replay
 
WHO is that mad women? OK she may run the Richard III society but she has no idea about the life and times of that era.
 
Classic comment she made. "How would he fit into his armour if he had a hunch back?"
What you think he went to 'Armour suits 4 U' and got one off the peg? "

 Only the rich could afford armour as it was MADE TO MEASURE, more likey he atttended Ye Old Dunn & Co.
