Hi all, I've been using a lot of 2mm laser-cut MDF for basing and it comes with 'sprue'. Has anyone found a good use for this? I've used some for paint stirrers but it looks like it might be useful for terrain maybe…. |

I use 4Ground 25MM and 40MM bases, which gives me loads of 4 and 3 pointed "star" shapes left over. I paint them in national colours and use the 4 point stars for disruption/disorder markers. I'm still finding a use for the 3 point stars! |

Scratch build ruined houses and use the sprue bits for broken timber and bricks |

Ruined buildings and wood piles for my Western games. |

Great for rubble and DIY terrain projects |

I cut them down for basing of ships. |

Glue vertical, paint black/grey, for burned ruins? |

Wood piles, bricks, and I've also used some for shelving and benches as part of the buildings. |

I use mine for rubble as well |

Glue them together in vertical, oddly shaped clusters for sci-fi terrain. (think crystals shooting out of the ground. You may be able to blue them inside of houses (especially card stock) to stiffen them up. |

Thanks all, reminds me I should get on with renovating terrain sometime. I will keep the sprues as they might well come in useful. |
ponders nirvana.
