Ok, to begin with, let me say I am not a big orange juice drinker. So, it came as a surprise to me, when I was browsing the drink aisle at a convenience store while travelling over the holidays, that Tropicana had these cool arched design lids on their drinks. When I saw it, it immediately said Elvish architecture to me; and was a perfect size to go with my 10mm Fantasy minis. So, I bought one to bring home and work on, and I finally completed it this past week.

Well done, a good find and idea! |

Clever! I do believe I'm gonna swipe that idea for 6mm miniatures! Doug |

Very inventive. In a good way. Tony |

Well done! I've been saving a bunch of those, without really knowing what to use then for. |

That is bloomin' brilliant. |

Agreed. Bloomin' brilliant. |

I've been saving some as well, they just beg to be used for something.
I've been thinking I'll add some domes (halved eggs/balls) to them and use them as dwellings for small 15mm ailens.
I may also stack some of them to create a "Leaning Tower of Pisa" effect (sans leaning of course). |

That type of lid also works rather well for tables with 28mm |

VERY GOOD!
Although, Natalie's Orchid Island Juice is a far superior OJ :(

It also makes a nice mosque. |

Wow, did not see that coming from the source object. Nicely done. |
| Chris Palmer | 16 Jan 2014 4:00 a.m. PST |
Thank you all for the kind remarks! And it was good to read other folks' ideas for what to use them for. I feel I may be drinking a lot of orange juice in the future. :) |

They could even work for Epic Eldar |

This is pretty awesome, well done. |

Hmmmm – I wonder how hard it would be to carve out the arches? There's probably a lot of material inside the cap that would have to go. Probably better just to paint them as you've done. Doug |

Would look good on top of a tower as well…I'm suddenly thirsty for orange juice. |

Bought some Dole juices (nearly identical caps) yesterday. Can't wait 'til they're gone! Doug |
