Help an Altoids addict

[MajorOrk]

I go through 2-3 Altoid tins a week and obviously being a scenery maker and by default a bitz hoarder, I cannot justify throwing away the tins.

If you all could come up with some cool products similar to the soda can toppers that utilized Altoid tins, I could continue to justify my habit and prevent my wife frome throwing them out!

Use them to hold your ciggarettes.  It keeps them from being squished in your pocket.

Anyone have any ideas on this one?

I have an idea, it could make a cool electronics cabinet that can open up. The would be 2 resin inserts with technogubins and a wall for the tin to insert into to hold it up. It could be used for rolepklaying as well as an obective point.

I like the Electronics Cabinet idea. Here are a few others - most of them involve removing the lid.

Water Collection Tank
- If you remove the lid, a piece could be inserted that looks like water with a space in the middle to set one of the sci-fi water condensers.

Airlock
- Replace the lid with a resin airlock door and use it in among the sci-fi walls

Fountain
- Basically the Water Collection Tank idea but with a fountain placed in the space where the condenser would be placed for the scifi version

Underground Missile Silo
- Make an insert that resembles a missile in an underground silo. You could make it in two pieces - The missile that inserts into the center of the altoid box and a piece that has the roof hatch slid back. The second piece would have a hole in the middle where the altoid box would be placed.

Ginfitter and Topkick, thanks for the ideas.  I like the electronics cabinet as well, and the airlock too.  Breakout the resin!

I didn't know you were looking for terrain uses (does nobody smoke anymore?). 

You could put dice in them.

Use the tins on their sides to make spaceship/tech walls. Place them on their sides(long side down). Maybe alternate the sides with the lids facing forward& backward.
