So you have made your 3D model and now your looking to make it a reality. Unless you have a 3D printer your best bet is to make a template and print it on a 2D printer.

I was asked to write a “how-to” on making plants out of sprues.

“What are sprues?”, you ask.

Sprues are the plastic frames that multipart models or minis come on. Most people cut the pieces off and throw out the frame. Not me. I never throw anything out (much to my wife’s displeasure).

This article looks at using sprues that accumulate in a seemingly endless supply. The obvious use is as a stick of some sort and I don’t disappoint because that’s what I did. I also made a plant out of sprue so that should be worth a read.\
