Last time I was in UK I bought a new printer, and to protect the contents from damage, the fitted 3-pin plug was fitted with a plastic cover…………..





Now it's not only my imagination, is it, that thinks they would make good line-side cabinets?

They scale up to 4ft-6ins and 6ft-6ins……………I bet there are dozens thrown away in Dixons etc every week, too.

never mind dixons, i have chucked them myself, then bought cabinets, DOH!!
:lol::cool:

Brilliant idea doofer. Wish I had thought of it.

aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhh! I need shooting!
 Great tip, doofer.

Nice.  :doublethumb

If only our Australian plug covers were similar.  They are rectangular but are much smaller.  Might make something out of one but more likely a point motor housing.

The amount of times i have looked at them and thought they be no good but now Doofer points out the obvious, dooh :thud

Doh, been throwing those things away for years!  Well spotted that man.

i think you have to much time on your hands. good tip

Even in this day of space age technology, it's always the simple things that are best !!  Well spotted Doug. :thumbs:thumbs:thumbs  Wish we used those plugs here in France.

Cut a few pieces of thin plasticard and glue over the 'boxes' to replicate doors.

Few odd slivers of plastic rod (Evergreen) and you have hinges and a handle to!

Spray with grey primer and weather to your hearts content!

Also make good petrol/diesel pumps to! Used a bead as the 'globe' on top and some thin wire which was coiled and fixed into a small hole drilled in the side.

A piece of paper with the dial drawn on was then added. Whole lot took no more than 5 mins!

Pics. please, Neil.
