Jasper_the_2nd 30196 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 So I basically have an endless supply of these.... and I really don't want to throw them in the recycling unless I'm sure I don't need them for something cool that I just haven't though of yet. But as I've got about 400 of these laying around so far (they are the inner needle tip protector for the tips I use for my daily shot, so are sterile and only the outer protector is put back on before going in the sharps bin) and growing, so as I still haven't really thought of anything, what do you think? 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Palmer 25969 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 -Glue some sort of bead do-hicky on top, and a base on the bottom, and paint them to be Force Field Projectors. -Painted as Futuristic Roadcones -Inverted, and glued as a smokestack onto a section of horizontal cardboard tubing to make a steam boiler. In fact they could be glued as smokestacks all over any sort of dwarves or steampunk structure. -They can be used as the mantlet for any number of Sci-Fi gun emplacements. - They could easily be converted into flight stands. 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moderator Chaoswolf 117209 Posted July 9, 2018 Moderator Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 With a piece of clear plastic (say from a Reaper blister pack) glued to the wide end, they could be searchlights. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KruleBear 4972 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) Pedestals for prized possessions (ie PC loot) like the grail or crystal skull. Flip upside down and fill with resin for a bird bath or drinking fountain. Edited July 9, 2018 by KruleBear 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pragma 2615 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Line a bunch up and glue a popsicle stick to the top and bottom, you've got a balustrade. Or flip it over and fill with glue and coarse sand to make a brazier. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Werkrobotwerk 27532 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 flip over, sculpt ice cream on top, use as over sized ice cream cone signs. add a pole coming out and a bead on the pole, use as stick lamps add a pole and a rectangle use as road signs add a pole, and a little sick and a bead, use as mic stands add a tapered piece, use as herald horns take a ping pong ball, glue in seemingly random locations, wide side touching the ball, attach very thin wires and a little box. atomic bomb prototype arrange on top of a cylinder place in a tank of water, use as control rods for nuclear reactor attach a round flat thing to the top, and use as bar stools 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strawhat 7425 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Peg legs for ogre pirates? End (bottom) sections for modular fencing. Cut the "post" off, and put a round bead/ball bearing for a crystal ball. With that in mind, cut the post at an angle and put a book on top to make a lectern or other podium. Glue a trimmed popsicle stick across two or more for a bench. Glue three under a round bowl/cup for a monstrous cauldron (WTH is brewing in THAT)? 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jordan Peacock 6125 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Modern/Sci-Fi: Painted orange: Devo hats. Or painted NEON orange: futuristic pylons? Spaceship rocket nozzles.Fantasy/Supernatural: Pedestal. Place a skull, trophy, treasure, crystal ball, etc., atop it. Brazier. Invert, paint in metallic colors, place some "burning coals" and/or "fire" inside. 6 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

alchemist 5785 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Add a few mechanical-looking appendages to these, and you've got either a bunch of helper constructs for gnomes or a race of pseudo-Daleks. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glitterwolf 207688 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 If you glue the tips together and then glue more to those from several angles you can create a starshaped spaceship of some kind. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
