First I have to say I'm a castle fan. -now I'm going to have to admit to
lurking in space- and I've been fooling around with these for a while... I
normaly stuff them with various plant pieces and once I've finished a
mountain or hill brickwise I give it a once over from my specialty pieces
box. Also they make great armour and weapon holders. But lately I've been
using them to buil guns for the figs (from realistic to space) this works
perty well to, with some tool sets binos and cameras... even a few megaphones...
Just a comment,
God Bless,
Nathan
