Subject: [SG/FMAS] Pizza Box Scenery

Hi all,

A while back, someone posted this URL to the list:

... about using a pizza box as the base for portable skirmish scenery.

I just finished the first of two pizza-box-based units for 25mm FMAS,
and it looks pretty cool. It was also dirt cheap, basically free, which is a
nice bonus! Portable, too.

I started with a 14-inch (Large) pizza box, reinforced the corners, then
added several rooms and stuff for a spaceport lower-levels area. My
colour printer provided hazard striping, warning signs & labels, and signs for
the businesses. The unit I just finished as a large bar, the "Dead
KraVak"; a MacroHard office, a station systems/life support bay, and a
small cargo storage area.

The second box is going to have a large partially-open cargo bay in one
half, and a complex of small shops and stores in the other half, arranged down
a narrow alleyway.

I spaced the doors and hatches so that the sections will fit together in any
layout; not that this is an issue with only two units finished, but adding
more is as simple as deciding to order pizza again! Aside from the pizza box,
the rest of the material was just cardboard I had already, and the Photoshop
work from my printer!

Photos soon, I promise, along with an article on my website.
