In this tutorial we will look into our large collection of sprues. Sprues can be used to alot of things from scenery to movement trays. Thats right. In this tutorial we will make a movement tray out of our sprues.

First you need some sprues, so I pulled out one of the boxes full of sprues. They had been collecting dust for quite some time and now its time to put them to use.

I picked one with nice round edges and cut it almost as clean as I could get it with my scissor, then I took the rest with a knife so it looked like this

Then I needed to put them together. At this time I didn’t have glue (yes that’s right) so I tried melting them together and that worked better than expected

after I had melted them into one piece I took a piece of cardboard and put the sprues on top of it and painted around the edges with a pen, then I cut the cardboard with my scissors to fit onto the sprues. Then I glued them together like this. I used something we call “wood glue” for this, but you can use any glue.

I poured alot of sawdust on top of the glue, waited a white til it dried, shake off the rest, then I spray-painted it all with some green color

If you use a little more time this result can be much better, but I hope it helps you get rid of your sprue collection
