Pyramid Box

Rick Riordan's The Red Pyramid (The Kane Chronicles, Book 1) came out Tuesday. We all loved his Percy Jackson books, even my husband who picked one up that got left lying around and started reading it and then wound up finishing the series with us. I've just started reading Red Pyramid, after I finish,  the Turnip and Mike will read it.
The book inspired me to make this pyramid box, which is not red, but I do like how it turned out. It opens at the bottom, and needs to be scored carefully to fit together correctly. I did make the tab on the pyramid side big enough to use double stick tape with for quick assembly. It stands about 2.5 inches high and is 3 inches at it's base. I plan to do more with this template. The photo is a little darker than usual because using the flash washed out the colors very badly.

If you'd like the blank template, I posted it for sale in my Etsy shop. The template is 300 ppi, but if you want the web ready 100 ppi template as well, just let me know in notes to the seller. 

Bunker Box for boys

 The miniature painting mistakes are my fault. No undo button with paint, and I wanted to get the photos and didn't take the time to scrape off the paint spills with my craft knife.

Like I mentioned before, my teenage son is very into all sorts of games including miniature games which inspired this box for boys. It uses the fancy box template I've been using for stained glass effect boxes. Click on the images for the full sized versions. I think this would be fun with plastic toy soldiers as well.
