Huts for Africa

[blacksmith]

Hello,
It is not a proper tutorial but I didn't know where else to put it.
I made three huts for my 1/72 skirmshes in Africa. I used three small can of Pringles, a brown paper folder that I "borrowed" from my job, some palm tree branches from the garden where I work and some toilet paper to give texture to the walls of the huts.



I made the roofs and doors with the folder and start gluing little branches from the palm tree.



Then I realised I should have painted the roofs first



This is how they turned out. I could have painted some white symbols on the walls and maybe add green, red or blue on the doors as well, but I went for the easiest and fastest way and I think they are OK. After all they are just huts.

Pretty cool use of things that usualy are thrown away or flushed away down the wc! so i like this topic very much. Sorry for late reply. BB

Thank you friends for your kind comments. I haven't played them yet, still waiting for a friend to finish painting his miniatures to have a game with them.

Agree with the others! Very nice huts! Just threw a similar can in the bin. Could have worked as an orc- hut too. Maybe for Orctober.
