Ya we'd be dangerous going to thrift stores!!!!! Love to see I'm not the only weirdo out there!!!!! GREAT HAUL!!!!!!!!

[@GrayArmyGaming]

😂😂😂 We hobbyists have an odd eye for the potential for junk!! When I am in the States I always run to Goodwill (don’t know if you have those in your area). Happy hunting!! 👍

[@terrainaholic]

Sweet haul! I am on the prawl for a giant dinosaur type beast for an upcoming project. I was aiming to check out some local toy stores, but the thrift stores is a nice idea!

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Awesome! Now I am really curious about your upcoming project!! There are always a ton of dinosaurs in the thrift stores were I frequent. I am sure you will find something good! 😊👍

[@Grognard-Solo-Gaming]

These things are cool, but what is REALLY cool is either your wife (if that’s a wedding band), for letting you buy all this “crap”, or the size of your house, where you will be able to stash all this, as I doubt this is neither the first nor the last time you have done this 🤣 Seriously though, I love the idea of repurposing (preferably cheap) things for gaming. But I have accepted that I never get around to actually painting them, and I have run out of space. So please make more videos like this, and show the end result if you paint/modify them. Because then I can live vicariously through you 🤣 Great video! 👍👏

[@GrayArmyGaming]

I have an INCREDIBLE wife who is very supportive of my hobby obsessions! 😊 Not a huge house, but smart storage can go a long ways! I have a great bin system in one of our closets and a bin system under the gaming table (otherwise wasted space). I also have a ton of projects I am “going to get to” but that have been sitting there for months (sometimes I just need to admit defeat and send stuff back to the thrift stores!). I am hoping to get some time this summer for a few crafting projects (bridge, boat, mats). I will be sure to post some content about the projects! 😊👍

[@Grognard-Solo-Gaming]

@@GrayArmyGaming Sounds great, looking forward to seeing what you create! 👍😁

[@GrayArmyGaming]

@@Grognard-Solo-Gaming Me too!! 🤞

[@terrainaholic]

Ya I have a BUNCH of boats that I want to do a Ghost grave yard of ships table all of them (most of them) broken on rocks with Mordhiem style planks going between them all busted up on the rocks.

[@GrayArmyGaming]

YES!! I never thought about that! Brilliant idea to break up the ships and use them as wreckages. 🤩🤩🤩 So many new ideas!!

[@thomaswilliams5005]

I found some backer paper for a bulletin board. Cut it up, glued to some mdf. Instant desert board. Always looking for new ways to build boards and get them on the table quickly

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Cool! I would love to see how that turned out!! 😊👍

[@terrainaholic]

The mats have potential. The checker blue screams power station at me and the water would work for an under water star wars location. If you got the right artsy tupper ware it could be a Gungan city or clear plastic cups and connected then could make great underwear tubes. Heck Kamino could work as a flooded area the droids attack though into the instillation.

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Fantastic ideas! I need to try something with that mat!!

[@terrainaholic]

@@GrayArmyGaming You'll do something AMAZING Your tables ALL WAYS ROCK!!!!!

[@GrayArmyGaming]

@@terrainaholic Thanks, my friend! 😊👍

[@terrainaholic]

I'm sorry I'm spamming your comment section!!! Ya the star wars haul can work in so many ways. the figures Id use for town sculptures put them on pillars and paint up in stone colors for propaganda the speeders are SOOO close to be useful but I don't see many figs at that scale. Maybe the same thing commemorating Hoth post Emperor's death?

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Statues!! Brilliant idea! Put them on pedestals and hit them up with a stone color and some drybrushing! That could be awesome!!!

[@nelsonrumley2618]

those are go stones they do come in black and white

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Perfect! I will have to keep my eyes open for some black ones! Thanks!!
