The little men need houses to live in

Recent purchases of a big-screen TV, Fridge etc came with a huge amount of styrene packaging, which has all sorts of uses. Some pieces were triangular in shape – perfect for house roofs, so I went about building some houses out of foam. I'm always looking for quick and simple ways to make terrain, and this method certainly fulfils that criteria. Here's a picture of the first stage: gluing the bits together.


I have an existing home-made mold (made of inexpensive bathroom silicone from the local hardware) of some windows and doors I created. A quick casting with Resin and the houses now have some windows and doors. Roof tiles are cast in a similar way and stuck on.


The finished product.
