Shacks




I still need to add a large thin piece of the steel on the upper portion of this building, I was thinking it would be a market shack. I plan on using these for modern, Sci Fi, and Apocalypse gaming.











Here are the shacks I made step by step.

Start with cutting out a base. I used foam core and used masking tape to cover the edges to make them look nicer. Use super glue to glue down posts that will keep the shacks form.
Once you have gotten this far, you have to get some cardboard. I suggest a lot of it. Your going to separate one side of the cardboard from the other. Now if you are unlucky like me, they do not separate so easily. So you need to run a pair of scissors in the recesses, and clear most of the paper. Once you have it looking like corregated metal, you have the materials for your walls! Use whatever glue you prefer to glue the walls to the post. If you want, cut out some windows, doors, etc. Dont glue the roof on, as you will want to take it off during the game to move figures around inside.
