I've got lots of cool 28mm props (paper, metal, and plastic) in my toolkit. But one thing I don't have a paper or 3d models for is a lever. You know, one of those things sticking out of the ground or wall that open trapdoors and whatnot...
Are there any out there in kits? I'd really like to build some 1" and 2" models for use in my dungeons.
I'd like 3d, but will settle for 2d. I want to use one of these the first time for my game a week from this Saturday, 4/27 - so a metal/plastic mini would do as well, assuming I can ship it to my house in California in time to paint it...
I've got money. :-)

Don't have anything like that in my collection.
However, it seems easy to do.
I can make you a little paper lever template if you can't find anything better and still want one. Just not right now, rather busy for the next few days.

Why don't stick a shortened toothpick in a foamcore/carboard "base" and paint it black with metal/rust drybrush? Seems a 10 minutes job, to me....
Or am i missing something?

Here's some pix of a 2x scale lever in context- The Gatehouse from the Orcs of Stonefang Pass...   And a shot of several of both 1x and 2x scale...  Thanks DryW! |

 My cutter chose this page to choke on (I need a new blade) so this is all I managed to salvage from the page. These are awesome! [For the record, a dull knife can get stuck, jamming the cutter alignment, screwing up the page...] Thanks Eddnic! |
