Going through the box where I keep my sprues, I found this frame of 25mm square bases that I completely forgot about. So it was time to do something with it!
Market Stall
I started by gluing four bases together to make a larger footprint of 50mm x 50mm. Next, I carved four posts in two different heights. Then I fitted some cross beams and made the roof, again gluing four bases together, this time overlapping them a little.
I sliced the remaining two bases into halves and attached them to the stall as shelves and a single sign.
Grabbing a few Warlord Games’ Viking Hirdmen sprues, I chopped off the round corners of each. These are fantastic for making large pots. The handle I made by drilling holes into the round bits of the base sprue and chopping them in half. For the small pots/bowls again, I used the round bits and gently shaped their bases into a taper.
After glueing them to the stall, I coated the base with sand and primed it in black.
Brown was definitely the paint scheme for the stall, with a few brighter moments in orange and yellow. And after writing the name of the stall “Pots R Us”, it was done!
Well, I thought it was, but then I changed my mind. Having also found an abundance of unused weaponry, I decided to make a lost property box for them.
A simple but enjoyable build then occurred. I made a large crate out of small lengths of sprue and then glued a copious number of weapons all over it!
After painting it up, the build was done, or was it?
Wooden Construct
No, it was not. I then decided the stall needed a shop assistant, so I made another Wooden Construct!
I really enjoyed this one. Starting from a sprue I couldn’t even remember having, to a cool-looking piece of terrain. So simple, but tons of fun!
