D is for Display

Some of you may have noticed I rescued some of the Impact rock formations or 'mountain-piles' from that Drummond Park/Idea Shop/Seven Towns board game I blogged earlier in the year . . . I actually dove back into the recycling bin for one each of the three, as it occurred to me they'd make useful little display bases!

The locating-studs that anchor the pieces to the card holes in the original playing board have to be removed which is done first with side-cutters, then finished with a scalpel - and kids . . . if there are any kids reading this; never, ever, ever, EVER cut toward your exposed thumb as in the picture above . . . it's a posed shot!

Or at least never, ever, ever, EVER cut toward your exposed thumb until you're old enough to take responsibility for your own stupidity, as I am!!

The finished objects can them be used to display all sorts of things, adding a bit of visual interest to otherwise formulaic images!

    Gotta cover myself against the elf'n'safety brigade Ed! And yes - sharp blades gravitate toward soft flesh, the though of it is what horror-producers are counting on!
