About this model
A rusted steel wheel rim with bolt holes and no tyre. It looks like it came off an old car. It is about 1.5 ft across and half a foot deep. The steel is rusted brown, with a ring of bolt holes in the centre. It looks like it has been lying in a yard for years. A pile of rims makes a scrapyard look full, and a scavenger camp might use them to build walls or furniture.
Scatter it in scrapyards, garages and wasteland camps. It is clutter that tells a story of salvage. It can be rolled, thrown or used as an improvised shield.
Ideas for the table
- Scavengers have built a wall of rims around their camp.
- A rim rolls across the yard and gives away a hidden watcher.
- A rim is hung as a gong to call the camp to dinner.
