As you guys know, I am always trying to think "out of the box" . . .

So, what do you think?

Is there potential here? Maybe for various scales?

PS. Though suggesting the use of pill boxes might not be considered by some as "thinking out of the box". :)

Excellent idea, the puny humans will never expect us to arrive in those…hahahahaha!

Kudos

I have also seen party favours (small plastic mazes with steel balls that you use to negotiate the maze) as curved discs that with a dome o the top could be saucers, or with three plastic legs – a martian attack craft!

The idea actually came to me when I saw my Mom's pill case earlier this week.

PS. Another sign of wargameritis I suppose!

I think the 1st one looks the best.

The first one is listed here as the "'Lexiva Pill Dispenser":

I certainly don't need that HIV medication, but I wonder if they would sell the cases separately.

Maybe the case manufacturer would:

I just emailed them and will share the reply.

How about these?

3 1/2 inch diameter. Not bad. But it seems like they are only available in large quantities (unless you can order a few free samples!).

Can someone find a retail seller for these?

Several of those look big enough to hold a couple of 15mm minis and dice. Very handy for a squad sized skirmish game with vehicle support.

Yes, pill boxes as UFOs is a good idea, plenty of neat shapes to start off a project with…

Thanks for the reminder.

Well, I was thinking of getting the mold and using some 'air dry' crayola stuff…(can't remember the name, but have a bag of it…and then trying other stuff….it's about the 'rigyht size'???

By the way…I've got THREE of those 'chrome gold' M*M containers from CHRISTMAS…that are just 'begging' to be convered to UFO's…but I'm not 'up' to converting something that big anymore….anyone interested in a 'swap/deal'….??? (I have other mini-resin saucers' and also other goodies to swap, etc for your 'help'???)

I might give all those old suggestions a shot, now that I have these little guys:
