Back in September I posted on how I made a graveyard out of left over mdf bits and pieces from other kits. On Sunday I was putting together some mdf 6mm kits for Wiley Games Battle Suit Alpha and Battlemech style game. The kits were from the Battlefield Accessories 6mm range. I have nine of each of these buildings.
when I started putting them together I found a lot of useful bits left over in the remaining sprues.
Firstly I noted the crenelations left from the corner joins of each of the walls.
These looked very much like fortified walls.
The door punch out looked like a gateway in that fortified wall. So low and behold I ended up with six of these:
These will look great with the some of these desert building inside the walls that I have already posted on back in September:
Just as soon as I finished using these bits I found some more:
Bits of rubbish – not on your nelly! What I saw was this masterpiece:
With all of these scraps I have ended up with another 12 buildings to use without paying an extra cent!
So before you throw this out have a real good look at what you can use it for.
The same probably goes for 3D printer supports but this Luddite has no experience of this.
I will show you the finished results probably in ten years time!
Excellent recycling very creative.

That’s pretty awesome! I think I must have thrown away from crenelated mdf bits like that, and now I’m lamenting it!
Thanks Faust. I think we all have, but there is always next time.
Great use of the cast off bits Dave
Thanks Dave. They don’t call me Guru Scrooge for nothing!
Good thinking there, Dave! 🙂 The desert/Middle Eastern compounds look really good (with some more you could make a Foreign Legion fort)!
Tahnks John. The thought has crossed my mind and I do have more!
Fantastic bit of upcycling there Dave. The crenelated coumpounds are great.
Cheers,
Pete.
Thanks Pete.
Great post! I with you 100% on this. I used all the “edge bits” on my TTG slum blocks to add relief to the boxy appearance of the blocks themselves.
Cheers Roger.
