"One thing about the good old days is that they weren't all that good. At least, not if you're talking about variety of stuff you could buy off the shelf, ready-made. These days there are many, many times more of everything available: more miniatures, more scenery, more paints, more rules, more tutorials – you name it, there's more choice now.
However, back in those long-gone days or yore, when we hadn't got more than a few card buildings out of old White Dwarfs to stick on the table, we had to make sure own. And, when we did, we used all manner of rubbish: insides of old radios, toilet roll holders, Pringles tubes (once they'd been invented), toothpicks, film cases, and so on. Whatever you could find that had an interesting shape.
While I'm intending to use slightly more robust materials than cereal packets for my own core construction, I thought it would be fun to go back to that nostalgic ransacking to see if I could find any interesting stuff for my Old Skool Skirmish boards…."
