Hi Guys,
Was cleaning up the other day for the holidays cause since my ankle surgery in May I have been using a make shift work bench in the kitchen. So the question is what do I do with all this


See I don't like to throw out anything that could be useful but I don't really see a use for all of this

I usually save all the extra sprue for filling material and maybe antenna material. It comes in handy for filiing holes for attachment points unused tools on armor, or pylons on aircraft. It all can be very usefule once stretched over a controled flame like a candle or lighter.

Sir you have the makings of a Borg Cube vessel. From the looks of it you have enough material for a "mothership".

I like to keep a few of these scattered about the floor of my model room. It keeps my barefooted wife from venturing too far into the ole man cave.

Dump it. Why store worthless crap?
Yes, sprue can be used for stretching and filling little holes .... but the next kit you have those problems with, you´ll also have the sprue from that kit. If there are any small unused details, cut them off and throw in the spare box ... the sprues are a waste of storage space.

I have heard of people melting it with liquid glue and making castings from it and you can also make extrusions from it.

Use what you need for antennas, DIY filler, etc, and ditch the rest. Fortunately around here I can put them in the recycling bin, thus ensuring they aren't truly wasted...

In the past I´ve used it for making rigging for 1/72nd planes....stretched using a candle but it´s a pain to get the right thickness and then glue it .
I´ve also made log cabins, stakes, trench supports, telegraph poles, log piles (depends on thickness of sprue and scale I am working in)
Paint mixingrods....
3 - 4 bits of the softer type cut to length and put in a drill hole in a wall...makes cheap rawplugs.
