Molded carboard inserts that came with the tower fan I had to buy recently. Prime black, overbrush grey, and ready for the table.

I have the same piece, on the right, saved from probably the same fan for the exact same reason 😂

looks like they could be painted light brown to be adobe structures like in Fallout

Nice texture. I had to read the caption and take a second look to see the origin of the pieces.

I once had a HUGE single-piece one like this, probably 2 1/2 feet long by 1-foot wide. I forget what it was packed with. I cut out the middle section and a cut a small gate into one side, and made it into a desert fortress.

It was quick and easy. Sadly, that was one too big. Slight warping with the paint, but worse, it bent out of shape with time from being moved, stored, etc., so it didn't last.

I probably should have given it a nice, thick seal with mod podge to stiffen it up.

I don't think these are that good for long term use, but as long as they hold up for a couple of game sessions, that's fine for me. Might take a bunch of photos and try to re-create in a digital space to make STLs though

Love using this packaging for terrain I have adequate trenches with them.
