I have seen a number of posts on TMP in regards to the use of electrical boxes for quick and cheap buildings. We needed a number of modular buildings for our Infinity games (and 40K and Tomorrow's War). So I thought I would give them a try. I'm happy I did. Easy, cheap, and not half bad. There is a bit more on my blog here link if you are interested.
Hope it is interesting/helpful… |

The almond milk lids for doors – those work great, going to use that, thanks. |

I have seen many examples using these as materials but I think so far , yours are the best. I really like them and your blog, thanks for sharing |

The door technique is inspired and the overall look is right. I like the idea of stenciling too. I may have to try that on mine sometimes. The bit of roughly half-removed plastic on the side is kind of jarring though. It definitely pays to really grind away those nailing tabs in the construction phase even if it is a pain. I use a dremel now and it makes it much easier. Also, nice blog. I'll be looking around there again. |

Yeah, those nailing tabs do need to be ground down for the full effect. I am actually going to glue on some tubes and angular tabs over those areas so they will not be seen, and sanding the others. Thanks for the compliments, too. |
