Thought I would post this as a couple of friends thought it was helpful. I found that a drink container we buy has an opening that can easily double as a door for 15/28mm terrain buildings/etc. The black door is from a 365 Organic Almond Milk container. I just popped it off, painted it, and glued it on to the piece. It even opens and closes.
I have a few more pictures on my blog site here: link Hope it is helpful in some way. |

If you hadn't mounted it upside down you would have a door with a ramp. cheers |

Like it. More recycling I can do. |

Have to add that to my list of packaging bits I collect…shame I just threw out a broth container last week. Thanks for the tip. |

Nice. I get these kinds of cartons all the time – a lot of soya milk has the same lid. excellent recycling there! BTW, what's the figure beside the building? I'm pretty usre you've kitbashed it, but what are the components? |

@TwinMirror…that is actually the Necron Annihilation Barge Lord model. I picked it up for cheap from an eBay seller. I think all of the parts were from the Barge set, but I could be wrong. Take care |

I've also found that the caps/lids to contact lens containers are often good for doors. |
