Step 2Prepping the tin base
Take apart the mint tin box by prying the hinges loose. The bottom, deeper part will be your base. Make two holes (using drill or metal punch); one hole at the very center of the tin, one near a corner for the switch. The hole in the center should measure 1/4in in diameter, and the size of the hole for the switch will be dependant on which switch you use.
(optional step)
I decided to sand and file the holes so that they're flatter. I also sanded the outer surface of the tin for a more matte texture. It also helps for the paint to stick.
(/optional step)
Paint the outer surface black. I used some leftover Warhammer 40k "Chaos Black" paint. Let dry.
