After discovering the joys of CD based terrain I’ve created a fair share of my own. However it never occurred to me that the plastic spindles they come in also make excellent sci-fi terrain!
That link is to a Spanish language tutorial on the ‘Toposolitario’ hobby site, but it’s rich with step by step pictures.
I suspect I’ll have to try this for myself in the future, possibly combining one or two spindles with the Bio Toxin Refinery I picked up a while ago – but have yet to use.

I will have to write up how-to for the tau/eldar themed building I made a year or so ago. The whole building style was based on adding a few strips of card to cd spindles (I got a box of them down stair if anyone wants a couple (offer extends to gamers in auckland only) Iwrote a how to and had it on terragenesis before they got hacked
I love that guys styles though, I never realy thought such smooth circular objects would suit imperial architecture.
Hello, I’m “that guy” who made the fuel depot with the CD spindle :D
Thanks for posting this new… it’s ever a pleasure to spread new ideas throughout the comunity…
Don’t forget to have a look at the UD12 Chickenhawk (a paper model of a dropship for 28mm futuristic gaming) and the rest of the TOPO’s workshop articles. ;)
Have a nice building!
Nice articles, TOPO. I *knew* my the Spanish I took in school would come in handy one day.
Hi Topo! Nice to hear from you :). I’ve admired your work in the past, particularly the ruined water tower which I was going to copy for my Mordheim terrain. Keep up the good work!
Sweet, was just finished off a a couple spindles of CDs while doing backups and was wondering if there was some terrain use for them….
