Or vacuformed it upside down?
I mentioned the vacu-foo because its been an active project and it sounded
as if making stuff with it was relatively quick/easy....
So we could make icehouse pieces pretty easily. :-) But they're kinda
boring...

I was hoping we had something already (or almost already) ready to go so we
could do games w/ make-stuff too.
I guess the one thing I still don't understand about vacuforming is how
small of an item (or an array of items) you can realistically make... 1"
cubes, 3" cubes, just to get a sense for what capabilities we have...
