Sprue Hut by Dr H

Modellers tend to have lots of left-over sprue (the plastic frames that miniature soldiers come on, as part of the moulding process). Often this is thrown away, but Dr H has found a great use for it!

While this looks like an advanced model, the techniques used are relatively simple, although time-consuming.
Dr H runs you through the building process step-by-step, with many pictures to check your progress.
Also included are several general modelling tips that you may find useful. I particularly liked the idea of using old, dried paint for adding texture to bases.

So, if you’ve got plenty of sprue lying around (and who hasn’t?), and some spare time, why not have a go at putting one of these huts together! Or take the ideas and see what you can design!

Don’t forget to let us know how you got on!
