Deciding that it is easier to manage one thread, rather than several, everything based on the Colony World of Outland will now be added here.

I have recently been making some Outland civilians for a future Kickstarter campaign and have been playing around with the 'leftover' bits of green stuff to modify some inhabitants of the Lead Pile to flesh out the place with some one-off conversions to add a few more characters.
First up is new Noif Herder in town....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/36/4805-301118151409.jpeg)
...converted from an old GW Ork Runtherd, he was fairly straightforward, I really needed to hide the massive ears that he had, though, as they made him look for too 'Orky' for my liking. Hence the bigger shoulderpads.
;)
With a suitable alternative paint job he should fit in just fine.
-
That's a fun idea - I've found that orks and grots can make for fun humans or muties with slightly off-kilter anatomy simply with a head swap or ear-reduction surgery!
This guy looks the business - I very much like his goggles. What do you use to make the lenses? Something as simple as pressing a tube into the greenstuff?
-
You're still here then ;D
Looking good :)
-
You've come on a hell of a long way since I last looked, mate!

You are right with that statement. I have a few more greenskins waiting for the treatment.
;)

Pretty much just that. Keeping it as simple as possible with these 'extras'.
:)

Indeed. Have you missed me then, Sweetie?
;D

Thank you!

Here are a couple more finished today....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/36/4805-301118151438.jpeg)
Most of you will instantly recognise the Royal Guard body.
I recently picked up some Imperial Assault figures and these two fellas were among them.
Seeing as I could not see any real need for them as I do not see any scenarios in mind where they would be used, they were quickly earmarked for the treatment.
A quick head removal, a fur ruff and some jewellery along with a CP models Avian head attached and they were done.
I reckon they look just fine and will stand out a little with their extra height.
Another Imperial Assault refugee should be finished tomorrow......
-
Will you be casting these since they have CP heads? (I have the armed ones, would like a civilian/diplomat or two)
-

No casting of any of these. They are strictly for my own use.
There are a few 'diplomat' types in the Blind Beggar range already, but there are also a few more that would work going off to be cast up soon.
I will post them on here as well, along with the rest of the civvies.
;)
-
Well that worked our perfectly! Glad you got good use, I love the result!
-
Well that worked our perfectly! Glad you got good use, I love the result!
And: 'Thank you!' for the heads.
There are a few left to go on some Stormcast for another project too!
-
Great conversions. :-* :-*
The way they are they will work both for sci-fi or fantasy.
Well done. :)
-
Oooh, i do like those avians.

Oooh, i do like those avians.

Here is another Imperial Assault refugee.....

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/36/4805-301118151345.jpeg)
No idea what the beastie is, but I do recognise that it tried to eat Natalie Portman in one of those prequel films.
I have no use for it as it was, so I decided that it would carry one of the Blind Beggar Children of the Sands on its back while he went out hunting.
I am looking forward to painting this so it may be the first one to be introduced to Mr Brush.
:D
-
Great, Paul. When starts the Kickstarter?
-
That's incredible Mason. Absolutely perfect!
-
Another great conversion. :-* :-* :-*
If you need another one lt me know. ;)
-
Nice work. That's a nexu. :D
-
The way rou reinterpret those minis is simply awesome :-* :-* :-*
-
Great, Paul. When starts the Kickstarter?
Thanks, Dirky!
These are just a few conversions for my own use, but I will post the figures for the KS, which should be going live in January, in this thread too.
:)
That's incredible Mason. Absolutely perfect!
Thanks, mate.
Coming from you, the master of these things, that is high praise indeed.
:D
Another great conversion. :-* :-* :-*
If you need another one lt me know. ;)
Thanks for this fella, Rui, he has worked out just fine.
You are tempting me with the option of another though.....
;) :D
Nice work. That's a nexu. :D
Cheers, mate.
Funny little blighters, those nexu...
:)
The way rou reinterpret those minis is simply awesome :-* :-* :-*
Thank you, sir.
Much appreciated.

At the suggestion of Commander Vyper over on Facebookworld I decided to add a third member to the Avian group with a little more dynamism in his pose.....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/36/4805-021218172530.jpeg)
...I see him as their boss giving them a rollicking.
;)
-
nice conversions
-
These are great mate! :-*
-
Thanks, chaps.
Much appreciated.
:)
-
These are some nice figures, I particularly like the bird men.
-
lovely stuff
-
Thanks, chaps.
:)
Mr Brush is pointing at some of them as I type, so there should be a couple painted soon enough.
;)
-
I love this project! Half my time is spent doing the same for my 15mm sci--fi - everything can be turned into an alien civilian. Now I wish I had some of those Avian heads ;)

Cheers, mate.
Yep, you are right, pretty much anything can work with a little imagination.
:)
Those heads are probably a little large for 15mm but I can send you some back if you really want them.....
;)
-
haha, no I think you're right.
I've been inspired to sculpt some robed bodies though - they can be tweak for all sorts then.

Yep, robes can be pretty generic.
I look forward to seeing the outcome.

I have decided to move this post about the landspeeder over here as it fits in well enough and it will be easier to update one thread rather than two.
;)
When the Force Awakens came out I grabbed a couple of the Disney die-cast Speeders as they are perfect for 28mm gaming with very little effort....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/35/4805-160918111551.jpeg)
I wanted to make a transport vehicle for the Baronial Troops for my Outland setting.
As I wanted all the figures to be standing in this vehicle, I pulled out the seats and headrests and then removed the gun to make more room.
This was really easy as the are just 'plugged in'. A quick pull with a pair of pliers and out they came.
I gave the vehicle a quick drybrush to help with later painting and added a few green stuff details to help change the look to something a little more 'retro'. and hopefully less 'Star Wars'....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/35/4805-160918105959.jpeg)
A Baronial Guard would become a driver by the simple expedient of making a cut downwards behind the gun, removing both the gun and his hands, and a simple control unit and new hands were added. Also a new 'mask' was created to give him a slightly different look.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/35/4805-160918110027.jpeg)
(I still need to finish the sleeves... but that wont take long ::)).
And here it is, with the driver in situ prior to painting.....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/35/4805-160918110059.jpeg)
...............................
And here is the thing after painting....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/36/4805-031118203406.jpeg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/36/4805-031118203435.jpeg)
.....and better pictures will be taken when it is finished.
I have painted the various crew for it but am still undecided whether or not to fix a 'leader' type in place.
I shall take pictures once it is based.
-
Very nice.
-
Very nice.
Thank you.
:)
As I was taking a few pictures of other things earlier, I just threw the speeder down and took a couple of pics of it.
It is not finished as it needs basing and a 'passenger' but the crew are done.
Please excuse the glare, the varnish seems to be catching more light than the window actually lets in!

Great stuff :)
Love what you have done with the avian heads, might have to steal your idea and do some of my own versions in the new year, if you dont mind :D
Never thought of doing something along those lines with them but it works a treat and looks cool too
Mark
-
The herder is brilliant ,with the paint job it’s barely recognisable as the ork :)
-
Fantastic. Everything is fantastic.

Thanks, Mark.
There are a few more heads to be used in a different project soon, and it should not be too long before these ones get coloured-in.
I look forward to seeing what you do too.

I am pretty happy with the result.
Another 'set dresser' that can double up as a protagonist at times.
Bonus!
-
Great conversion,works a treat :-*
-
That's come out very well mate. Like you day, it's a good background figure but could also be a random encounter or a scenario protagonist.
-
Very nice painting Paul. :-* :-*

Absolutely brilliant, come out so well.

Thanks, chaps.

I see the slander of poor innocent droids continues......

Thanks for the comments, chaps.
Much appreciated.

I have taken a step aside from working on the figures for a while to get some buildings done, beginning in a rather unusual fashion.
Pictures paint a thousand words, and all that, so expect a short essay later....
;)

As threatened earlier, here is the start of the buildings, working from the top down.....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/37/4805-060119181404.jpeg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/37/4805-060119181301.jpeg)
I am starting with the rooftops for several reasons...
Firstly, these are the most commonly seen parts of a building whilst playing a game, so I wanted to try and make them as 'interesting' as possible so I will be utilising a whole bunch of stuff to detail them.
The main area is covered by using the 'sides' of the GW Containers as I have a few of these donated to the cause by Legionnaire Bert (and have since ordered a few more when I can find them at a good price, so if anyone reading this has any still on sprue that they are willing to part with at a sensible price please give me a shout :D) as they cover a large area and will help create a 'standard' look whilst the other, smaller detail will help differentiate them.
Other parts include the GW pipes (which will be more extensively utilised later) and various other resin 'bits' from the bits box from Ainsty, OSHIRO and other unknown sources.
I have a fair stash of these so I can do quite a few rooftops this way.
The whole thing has been finished in a kind of tarnished bronze effect using the GW technical paint (but not in the ridiculously wasteful way that they recommend, by the way!) on top of a standard bronze coat underneath.
I have a few more roofs to do before moving on to the rest of the buildings, including a very useful source of 'parts' which will be covered later when they have been finished.
;)
-
:o
Amazing!
-
Cool stuff!
-
They'll do 8)
-
Ah - that's what you had in mind for them - I like it, very much. GDonk
-
Great idea - those have come out really nicely.
-
Thanks, chaps.
:)
Ah - that's what you had in mind for them - I like it, very much. GDonk
I have plans for the rest of the parts too, but that will have to wait until I move down from the rooftops.
;)
-
Dammit, those look really nice! :-*
-
Inspired use of the GW Space ISOs.
-
Thanks, chaps.
Much appreciated.
:)
I got a bit more done earlier, with two more buildings in the works.
Hopefully I can get them to a stage where pictures will be worthwhile tomorrow.

Better late than never.....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/37/4805-100119223729.jpeg)
They still need their sides detailing and doors put on, as well as baseboards adding before they can be attacked with the brush but that will not be too long, I hope.
Also, being that they based on three tins is an added bonus...
;)
-
I can't believe that :-*. You are a genius.

They look amazing. Following with interest :-*

I am itching to get them painted but I am up to my ears in sorting out castings at the moment.
Soon. Very soon, hopefully....
Ingenious!
lol lol
The actual 'clever' bit will be revealed later....
;)

I finally found the time to get these finished, so here are a few quick shots of the coloured-in efforts.

Dude these are top, they've come out so well.
-
Nicely done 8)
-
They look great! Can't wait to see a shot with them on the table!
-
Thanks, chaps.
:)
.....Can't wait to see a shot with them on the table!
Neither can I, to be honest, as I want to see how it looks with some of the scatter stuff that is already done.
Hopefully I will get a chance to do that later in the week.
:)

Now for 'Da Clevva Bit!'
Here are the two buildings side by side, the biggest of the two on its base board easily fits neatly in an A4 paper box with just enough space around it to cover it in bubblewrap when stored.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/37/4805-290119111753.jpeg)
Which is quite handy as I just need to cut a box down to size.
The actual cunning plan involved with these buildings is not that though, as all of my buildings fit in A4 paper boxes.
It is this....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/37/4805-290119112104.jpeg)
....the larger roof pieces, including the smallest tin, are all removable leaving just the lower sections which hold them in place when assembled.
The small tin is then opened and all of the other roof pieces from the large building fit inside it....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/37/4805-290119112249.jpeg)
The smaller building is then opened and the small tin and the pieces from the roof then fit neatly inside this tin...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/37/4805-290119112424.jpeg)
The smaller building is then closed and fits neatly inside the larger building.....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/37/4805-290119112546.jpeg)
....which is then closed, with all of the component pieces now inside it. This is then placed in the A4 paper box.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/37/4805-290119112649.jpeg)
Which means that both of the buildings now actually take up less space than the larger one alone when it is assembled.
I reckon this is the way forward with my sci-fi scenery as space is now an issue (because I already have too much scenery, apparently.. ::) ) so I shall have to utilise it well.
Wodya reckon?
:)
-
Cunning . . very nicely executed.
-
Very cool design!

Truly clevva!

I shall steal this ;D

Very clever. :-*
I am also trying to find clever ways to store terrain, by using box in box packing.
I have also tried flatpack MDF ruins held together with magnets.
-
That is clever - reckon the paint will be robust enough on that tin?
-
Thanks, chaps.
:)

Only time will tell, I guess. Luckily it is black underneath so it wont be too bad if it chips.
If it looks like it may be a problem I will varnish it at a later date.
;)
We got a game of OGAM in last night (I forgot to take pictures of that, though...) so I left the board out and took some pictures this morning of the new buildings with the civilians finished so far before packing it all away.
Once I have sorted out the pictures I will post them here later....

The figures and buildings look great. Very clever storage solution.

I've been using Plasti-Dip as an undercoat on stacking/folding/3Dprinted terrain of late, and it really seems to help with chipping or flexing damage, as well as helping hide some of the layers in 3D prints.
It's basically a rubber coating, which you can then paint over.

I don't want to hi-jack Mason's thread here but out of interest is that a UK or US product? I use all sorts of plastics in my little projects and some are very difficult to persuade to take paint, so I would be very interested in looking into that. Cheers, Joe

That’s good - I only ask because I use tins for primer spraying (magnetic bases holding minis to the tin) and the one downside is the old layers of paint in the tin tends to flake off n make a mess. Be ace if yours are durable.
-
That is very clever.
You can't have thought that up on your own. ;D

Design excellence, combination of form and function, practicality and aesthetics. Top marks.

Thanks for all the comments, chaps, most appreciated.

They should be OK, as they will be spending most of their time in a box where all the parts within have a layer of bubble wrap and should not take too much battering when used in a game. If chipping becomes an issue I am considering either a quick spray varnish followed by a coat of matt medium to dull them down again if needs be.
That is very clever.
You can't have thought that up on your own. ;D
lol lol
I am watching you Dr Dungheap!
;D
I am going to sort out the pictures with the buildings in situ with the civilians so far later today and chuck them up here, so that you can see how the buildings scale up with figures involved.
Watch this space....

These shots include all the Civilians that I poked with a brush during the recent Kickstarter.
I shall post pictures of them here as well now the campaign is over.

I think you mentioned it somewhere else before, but where did the Star Wars speeder come from?
-
Amazing stuff, friend!

It is the die-cast Disney store version from The Force Awakens, but they are pretty hard to find at a decent price now I warn you.
Amazing stuff, friend!
Cheers, mate.

Really beautiful and creative! Impressive!

Thanks.
You are welcome.
I think ebay may be your best bet if you are going to paint or convert as they seem to go for a fair bit new, up to Ł30!
They were only eight quid each when they came out in the Disney store.

I'm very jealous! This set up is exactly what I work towards in my 15mm project, you're so productive!!

Thank you.
I hope that I can keep this going as it will be one of my two main projects for the foreseeable future, the other being my OGAM forces.
Plenty to keep me busy with both (I have about twenty more civilians yet to paint for this project alone, never mind all the buildings...!).
;)

Time to add the Galactic Civilians from the Kickstarter (now that the campaign has finished) with two sets painted up in various different colours or uniforms fitting the Outland setting.
First up are an Outland Emergency Medical Services team....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/37/4805-230119115603.jpeg)
A group of citizens in the latest 'four-colour' style popular in Landfall....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/37/4805-230119115658.jpeg)
A couple in a more sedate style more typical of the rural and practical fashions of outlying settlements...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/37/4805-230119115753.jpeg)
A Cognitive Collective employee and a member of the Emergency Rescue Services....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/37/4805-230119115857.jpeg)
A busy thoroughfare full of Civilians heading about their business...

So good! Can't pick a favourite. Is that the roofs of your building you've used as a backdrop? Works well!
-
Those buildings are a bloody great idea. It's like a mini Tardis.

That is indeed the rooftops in the background.
I shall use them as a backdrop until I make the rest of the buildings, but I need to make the things that will fit inside them first.
;)
Those buildings are a bloody great idea. It's like a mini Tardis.
Cheers, mate.
It goes a long way to solving the issue of scenery beginning to take over the house!

Another building WIP shot with an extra 'roof' section just because I wanted to see what I could do with the plastic bottle tops I had been stashing....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/37/4805-170219151753.jpeg)
...based on yet another tin, so that it stores itself in half the space.
Other bits from GW, OSHIRO, Antenocities and Hirst Arts Moulds.
And painted.....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/37/4805-230219162432.jpeg)
Again, the roof sections come off and fit inside the tin section....

For some reason I haven't previously seen the Android Collective in the company of your other minis, and imagined them to be a lot smaller than they are. Now I think I'm going to have to get some (dammit) ;) ;)

That's the way it's done! :-* :-*

Thank you.

You are not the first person to say that, maybe a few more pictures showing things side by side would be helpful in future. Thank you.

Another couple of group shots:
Firstly, an impromptu Cognitive Collective Conference.....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/37/4805-240219123304.jpeg)
......and a mining survey team arriving at base camp....

Cheers, mate.
To be honest, though, those last few massed group shots amount to about half of the Blind Beggar range of non-factional or combat orientated miniatures.
There are more, as well as the conversions of other figures to add to them.
I will sort out a proper group shot of all of the civvies at some point in the future.
;)

Finally got around to basing the Baronial Guard Patrol Speeder....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/38/4805-100319205824.jpeg)

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/38/4805-100319205452.jpeg)
The 'hover base' is made from a clear bottle top....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/38/4805-090319142052.jpeg)
....leaving a 'furrow' in the sand.
A few more bases were done at the same time as there are a couple more things needing basing, which will be posted as soon as they are finished....

Dammit, that's so great!

There is still a space to add a passenger, who will be added later when I decide which figure to use....

A few beasties that were painted recently for use chiefly in Palaeo Diet which will also see service on Outland.....
The Poundshopasaurus.....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/38/4805-100419092608.jpeg)
A cheap rubbery dino toy who got a quick repaint.
(Ignore the Caveman, as he is part of the Palaeo Diet KS/project, but he could well be a just big headed mutant hermit who lives in the wild... ;))
A couple of herbivores who make for good eating...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/38/4805-100419092355.jpeg)
Some sleeker grazers who have some nice tender, juicy portions on them.....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/38/4805-100419092237.jpeg)
(Another mutant from the wilds sneaks in. Maybe there are a few of them hidden in the wilds of Outland. Who knows...?)
An ikkal bikkal crittur who managed to sneak in, making a run for it.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/38/4805-100419092444.jpeg)
All speed painted with simple drybrushing and washes.
There are a few more critturs in the queue who will be able to be used in both projects that will sneak in here when they have finished being attacked by the brush.
:)
-
very nice. who makes the critters in the first two pics there may I ask? The herbivores and grazers.
-
Those toys came out a treat mate! :-*
-
Thanks, chaps.
:)
The big Dino is a rubber toy.
The chunkier Grazers are Grok from Krakon Games whilst the more sleek variety are Okroi from Forge of Ice.
-
Another bit of set dressing in the form of a repainted WotC bendy Ronto....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/38/4805-220419125133.jpeg)
...who was actually painted at the same time as the earlier beasties with a simple series of drybrushing and washes. He does have a few bad mould lines that I could not be bothered to sort out but he will do just fine.
And taking a stroll with a few Children of the Sands.....

Made from a Blind Beggar Porter pulling a converted Knights of Dice Popcorn Cart.
There is a space on his back to add the merchant when I find just the right little figure that I want to put in there.

The varnish has come out a fair bit too shiny but will be given a splash of dullcoat when I get some more.
He will do for now....
-
Lovely Ogryn, awesome work!

He’s come out brilliantly!
-
That works well :)

He's great! He looks like a bizarre ogre paratrooper! You've completely changed his look with that head swap.

A few more to add to the crowd...

You are also much more polite than that other fella....

Blimey!
It is over a year since I made these rooftops....
:o :o
As threatened earlier, here is the start of the buildings, working from the top down.....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/37/4805-060119181404.jpeg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/37/4805-060119181301.jpeg)
I am starting with the rooftops for several reasons...
Firstly, these are the most commonly seen parts of a building whilst playing a game, so I wanted to try and make them as 'interesting' as possible so I will be utilising a whole bunch of stuff to detail them.
The main area is covered by using the 'sides' of the GW Containers as I have a few of these donated to the cause by Legionnaire Bert (and have since ordered a few more when I can find them at a good price, so if anyone reading this has any still on sprue that they are willing to part with at a sensible price please give me a shout :D) as they cover a large area and will help create a 'standard' look whilst the other, smaller detail will help differentiate them.
Other parts include the GW pipes (which will be more extensively utilised later) and various other resin 'bits' from the bits box from Ainsty, OSHIRO and other unknown sources.
I have a fair stash of these so I can do quite a few rooftops this way.
The whole thing has been finished in a kind of tarnished bronze effect using the GW technical paint (but not in the ridiculously wasteful way that they recommend, by the way!) on top of a standard bronze coat underneath.
I have a few more roofs to do before moving on to the rest of the buildings, including a very useful source of 'parts' which will be covered later when they have been finished.
;)
....and now I have finally started on some buildings for them to go on.
Better late than never, I suppose.
::)
Pics of the WIP later.
;)

Looking good 8)

The first stage of the build, nothing exciting, just a box made out of foam sections affixed to an MDF baseboard.
Glued and strengthened with bamboo kebab skewers.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/44/4805-240320115450.jpeg)
The roof sections have also had a few bits of foam and MDF added to hold them securely in place.
Those cavities will be utilised later with scenery made to fit in there for storage and continuing the 'Russian Doll' theme of storing scenery within scenery that began with the 'tin' buildings made earlier.
;)
Here they are at the moment with the rooftops in situ...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/44/4805-240320115346.jpeg)
Time to get on with the pimping.....
-
Really ingenious Paul,very creative 8) 8) :)
-
It love seeing new and innovative ways to use parts. The containers-as-roofs idea is genius - it looks very convincing, with a nice compromise between detail and playability. Very much looking forward to seeing the buildings progress.
-
Thanks, chaps.
:)
Pictures of the post-pimp later.
:)
-
OK, the pimping is done, mostly using shims (the black plastic wotsits) and MDF offcuts and leftover bits.
There are two plastic parts from dismantled SW toys and also a couple of resin bits, along with a few bits of junk all of which were dragged out of my 'sci-fi' bits box.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/44/4805-240320170259.jpeg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/44/4805-240320170358.jpeg)
A little bit of tidying up and I can start colouring it in.

Basing and titivation to do and then it will be called 'done' and proper pictures taken.
-
Looks great 8)
hoe about a few cables here and there?
-
Great update - all coming together nicely :)
-
Oh my, what a freakin‘ awesome Project!
This new building ist so cool. Really top notch. Love it.
Thanks for sharing.
Greets, Jan
-
I LOVE it!
:-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
Thanks, chaps, much appreciated.
:)
how about a few cables here and there?
I am considering that option but will probably do the whole lot at once when they are all done (this is building number four with at least another four buildings plus the railway to do yet!).
One of the constraints that I have is that they will all fit inside each other in various ways for more compact storage, so I cannot have too many fragile bits poking out, but a few cables in protected places are certainly on the 'to-do' list.
The other thing is that, when I have them all done, I can chuck all the remaining small bits in various places on their bases to add interesting features.
;)
Anyways, the thing is now finished so I shall take a few proper pictures later for your perusal.

Excellent building Paul, and very pleased to see latest Kickstarter has funded successfully. Stay safe, GDonk

Hoping to start 'filling the interior' of this one this week.

That's a lovely building. I really like the verdant setting it evokes with the vines over the walls. It's also a much bigger building than I'd imagined it to be - thanks for including the figure for scale.

I added the foliage after thinking that the first few were a little too bleak.
I shall be adding it to the other buildings too, but after we are allowed to play out again as it really does drain the super glue stash.
As for the size: It needed to be a good size as I want to store a couple of smaller buildings inside it.
;)
They are up next (tomorrow, as I have finished the 1:1 scale building work for the moment, so I can justify a little play time!) but I may be tempted to paint some figures instead as I have a few of those to finish too.
Oh, to be spoilt for choice!

As the first castings turned up on Saturday, I managed to get a Mature Noif painted up........

It went together fine.
A small join line which is easily sorted, especially as it is on fur.

Is this a commercial range or just your own hobby?
Both, really.
It is a commercial range where I get to make what I want to fit my own theme/world.
This thread incorporates both figures from that range and my own conversions of other figures along with vehicles and scenery that I have built for it.
The commercial range can be found here: http://www.blindbeggarminiatures.co.uk/shop

Spent a while this afternoon messing around with a WW1 German A7V, hoping to turn it into a passable 'Sandship' for the Dune Tribes....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/47/4805-280620192342.jpeg)
All kinds of bits of resin, plastic and card went on to it trying to achieve the look I am aiming for.
It will look much more cohesive once primed, but the weather today has been very uncooperative...
-
Smashing!
-
Paul, in the moment it looks a little bit like "Barbie in Space on Ectasy". Maybe you paint it fast and helps me to get this out of my mind ;) But the start is promising.

Only you...
It will be a couple of days before I may get the chance to do anything with it....but now you have said that I may have to leave it a while longer.
;D ;D

Really interesting construct, absolutely getting a sand crawler vibe from that block silhouette. Can't wait to see it progress.

Well, it will certainly be a fair bit smaller than a Sandcrawler but that is the vibe I am looking for.
One bonus of being smaller is it is certainly more practical for gaming.
;)
Here is a picture of the other side (which seemed to disappear when I was uploading the original post...) just for those with 'Barbie Fantasies'.

Hang on, are the pink things hair rollers?!?!
Yep!
They are very useful, especially when you cut them up.
They make great ladders, cages etc.
I have used them on buildings too.
They need a good primer, though, be warned.
You can see the 'Barbie Pink' bits clearly on the Taurox conversions here:
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/45/4805-240420184256.jpeg)
And once primed....

Thanks, Suber!
I hope to get some paint on the Sandship over the weekend, along with finishing off the basing on the Taurox conversions.
Speaking of Taurox conversions....
Seeing as how they were made as APC's for the Baronial Guard, and the Baronial Guard are the garrison troops of the Barony on Outland, then I guess they should be put in thread too.
So here goes, beginning with said APC's once they have been coloured-in....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/46/4805-290420155757.jpeg)

And with some of the Baronial Guard that they will be ferrying about....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/46/4805-290420155608.jpeg)
The Baronial Guard.
The garrison troops of the Barony, these chaps serve in static facilities, operating as Soldiers, Customs Officials and also as a Police Force in all populated areas of the Barony, seeing to it that the Baron's Law is being enforced.

A good thing that I really enjoy painting that particular scheme as I want to add a few more troops to the Guard contingent at some point.
:)
Excellent! Those Taurox look smashing
Thanks, mate.
I am very happy with them.

Some heavy firepower back up comes in the form of 'Cyclops' Walkers (or 'Eggs' as they are more commonly known amongst the populace).
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/44/4805-170220154724.jpeg)
They are slightly converted, OOP metal Warzone Orca Battlesuits.
I had them for ages, originally with the intent of using them for VSF, but that urge died some time ago, and am really glad that I kept hold of them as they fit the 'look' perfectly.
The really handy platforms at the rear will allow me to build various different 'loads' for them in future, as well as allow them to carry a couple of passengers as is...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/44/4805-170220154657.jpeg)
And with a Baronial Guard Technician for scale...

I have finished a few more since taking these pictures, including more Alien troops using SW WotC bendy heads.
I shall add those later.

They look very cohesive and yet ramshackle enough to be a rebel army, kudos!

That was the 'look' I was aiming for, so thanks for that nod of encouragement.

There are a few more aliens to be posted, I just need to upload the pictures to here.
In the meantime....
The Ursini (Space Bears!) have joined the ranks of the Freedom Fighters.
Here is a shot of them arriving at the entrance to the secret base in the Forest of the Moon....

The next alien Squad are various Blind Beggar figures (and a Lead Adventure Miniatures Steampunk chap) with head swaps. They originally had GW Genestealer Hybrid heads but I could never see myself using them, so they were ripped off (apart from two that were more generic with face masks) and replaced with heads from Star Wars WotC bendies.
Oh, there is also A plastic GW Zombie head in there too, but he now sports some new goggles!
They look much better now, in my opinion anyway.
;)
A blurry shot of the new squad..

The SW heads were simply given a drybrush with an ivory/khaki mix and then washed with various colours.
The Platoon now includes a fair few figures now, including a Scout on a 'Wing-Glider', with thirty or so added in the last two weeks.

Impressive use of the SW heads, they look much better then I could imagine.
What are you going to use the SW bendy bodies for I wonder?

What are you going to use the SW bendy bodies for I wonder?
I guess they will just go in the bits box now, but if I never use them I do not mind.
They have sat in a box for years so, as I have finally got some use out of them, they have at least served a purpose.

Fresh from a FB painting n, I introduce you to...
Slambo, the Baron's Executionor!
(http://<img src="http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/48/4805-011020121952.jpeg" />)
That old Citadel classic, Slambo the Chaos Warrior, who also happened to be in the first WD I ever read back in my yoof. I always wanted one then and never managed to get hold of him.
Having acquired one a few years ago, he has been sitting patiently awaiting paint since then, as I simply could not shoehorn him into any of my projects. Until now...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/48/4805-011020121952.jpeg)
Here he is, joining the Court of The Baron....

Who could have thought he would fit so well in here? Well seen and well done!!
-
Amazing new entries since I last visited. I adore your Baronnial forces. They are really brilliant! The not-rebellion, however, also came out nicely with the alien menagerie fighting in it!

I have a couple more Freedom Fighter characters done (with plans for more) but have not got them to pose for the camera yet.
:)
-
A few more non-combatants to add to the populace, who will also make excellent 'agents' of the Freedom Fighters (hence the colour scheme used)...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/48/4805-071020151759.jpeg)
L-R: Reaper Beggar, Colony 87 pilot conversion, Hasslefree civilian (originally painted by Silent Invader, but given a slight reworking, a wash and drybrush and rebasing, to fit in here).
-
That conversion of the C87 pilot is just genius! He looks brilliantly alien and terrifying to boot!
-
Great stuff mate 8)

That colony 87 conversion is brilliant!! Nice paintwork too!

Thanks. I like him too.
As soon as I found that head in my bits box I knew what I wanted to do with it.
No idea what it is, possibly a GW demon or somesuch.
It had horns but I lopped them off and added greenstuff goggles for a more 'sci-fi' look.
-
I have been messing around with a new camera set-up and experimented by taking some pictures of the Warriors of the Dee-Pwonzi Empire, beginning with the 'Bull Troopers', who form the backbone of most Dee-Pwonzi forces..

Thanks to Axiom, recently posting his baggage beast and it's handler, I was reminded that I had made a few baggage beasts for my Avian Merchant but had not added their 'loads'.
Well, that timely reminder got me me to pick out some bits to pile on them and finish them off with a few bits of green stuff to hide gaps and fill spaces.
Anyway, enough waffle, here are those beasts loaded up and ready for work....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/49/4805-051220183549.jpeg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/49/4805-051220183625.jpeg)
The three adult beasts are based on camels with heads from GW Gryph Hounds wjilst the juvenils is a Blind Beggar 'disguised' Cyber Hound with modified head from a Jub-Jub Bird. The little fella was done in a moment of whimsy and may be ditched dependant on what it looks like after painting.
Next up? The painting, I guess...
:)

They are nice, Paul.

They work well :)

Well, should I send a parcel your way in the future, remind me and I will chuck a few in.
:D
Righto, here is a quick shot of the finished Bird-Camels....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/49/4805-091220152756.jpeg)
I should have got the bipedal members of the group done too but I made a serious cock-up whilst painting these beasties.
I was applying a coat of matt medium to see what the 'loads' looked like after the washes (which tend to be very glossy) and accidentally got some ivory paint in the mix.
Needless to say, I ended up drybrushing all three beasts with a dusting of ivory and buggered them up!
Hence, I had to repaint all the 'loads' again.
I won't be making that mistake again!
Anyway, off to finish the rest of the group now I have fixed these....
-
Those are cool, like Griffins!

Something a little different for the project....
The Reef Ripper.
A slight divergence from the normal fare on my workbench, this time it is a repainted toy, a Reef Ripper from the Skylanders range (search on ebay and you will find plenty of them), mounted on a 90mm oval base.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/49/4805-191220130831.jpeg)
I was actually doing the green stuff work on a Dragon and basing a bunch of Elf Wardancers and decided to to finish fixing the base to this at the same time, but you know what can happen sometimes...
Anyway, I got distracted and have to say I really enjoyed dirtying this one up. As you can see, I pretty much kept to the original colour scheme as I quite liked it.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/49/4805-191220130923.jpeg)
It should prove very useful for Outland sci-fi project as an undersea capable flyer, and could also work in several other settings too.
Bonus!

It is orange brown in the centre fading down to yellow through orange in progressive wet-blended layers, with the top slowly drifting into a dark brown.
Finished off with two coats of gloss medium.
Hope that helps.

I have always loved this old Citadel sculpt of Jerry Cornelius and really wanted to shoehorn him in to one of my projects somewhere.
I thought he would work well as an agent at the Court of the Baron.

Another of the Skylanders toys got a repaint as well, and may work pretty well as Agent Jerry's personal craft, given the colour scheme....

I also picked up a couple of Skylanders vehicles for this sort of thing, including Jerry's little ship, but as that was about three years ago and I've done nowt with them yet, this is a nice little kick up the arse for me. lol

Great updates 8)

I had a bunch of Skylanders stuff sitting around for ages and eventually I bit the bullet and sent it to the charity shop. I kinda wish I hadn't but, to be fair, it would probably still just be sitting around. This might have inspired me to do something with at least one of them, though!

He came about due to the White Dwarf Monthly Painting Challenge Group on Facebook, where a random issue is chosen from the past and you have to paint a figure featured in the issue. The particular WD in question was WD76 and someone had repainted a Star Wars action figure so, given that this fella was lurking somewhere, I thought 'Why not?'.
He is some kind of rubber toy that I found and thought I would add him to this project as a civilian.
Here he is chatting to The Baron, who cannot quite understand just what the weird, big-eared fella is waffling on about most of the time....

I have gone back and fixed his 'fuzzy' eye, which I did not notice until I looked at these pictures...

As a break from all the Old Skool Space Marines I have been painting lately I thought I would do something completely different and make a new vehicle for Outland.
I had mentioned, whilst playing a Pulp period game with some friends a few weeks ago, that I had been after a 'J.Jones' truck from the Dad's Army series to add to my Interwar vehicle collection.
The following week, when the lads turned up for a game, two of the chaps had obviously been listening to me as they both turned up with one!
Result!
Nice one, chaps!
:)
As I now had two I thought that I would convert one into a 'futuristic' version suitable for traversing the rough terrain between Outland settlements, so into the bits box I went.
Armed with some suitable parts I chopped the wheels off of the Butcher's van and started adding bits.
An hour or two later this is how far I had got.....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/52/4805-290821194748.jpeg)
I am still going to add an armoured windscreen and a bull bar/dozer blade attachment to the front but will start painting it first so I can get a brush into areas that will be difficult to reach if I add these parts first.
And, yes, I am keeping the 'J.Jones' logo intact.
;)

Haha that’s ace!

I found a bit of spare time yesterday to get the first bit of painting done.
I still have to sort out the bull bars/ram thing for the front and a windscreen and find something that fits in those wheels, but it is getting there.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/52/4805-070921101144.jpeg)

Looking good!
I used the head of a disposable razer for bull bars,
just a suggestion.

I had not thought of that, even though I have quite a few razor blade covers in my bits box...
I have already added something a little more 'substantial' to the front, though, which may not be to everyone's taste, but I like it.
;)
Just basing it up today (hopefully!) and then it is final picture time.
:)
-
The work on the 'J.Jones' Butchers Truck has finished.
A (much larger than originally intended!) 'cowcatcher' attachment has been added to the front as I thought it fitted well.
It may not be to everyone's taste, but I like it.
All ready to set about making those deliveries in the wilds of Outland...

Over the last few months I have been introducing some of my neighbours to tabletop gaming with some simple, stripped-back games set in various genres using the Galactic Heroes rules.
Last night I hosted another with four more 'virgins' (I make that fourteen cherries popped now!).
I did not manage to take any pictures during the game but here are a few of the set-up, which was kept as symmetrical as possible as they all had identical forces and the same objective, to keep things as 'fair' as possible

Must be something in the water.....
Out of the 14 who have 'had a go', most have asked to play again.
There is another 'Ladies Night' to arrange with four new players (word has got around!) and a 4-way 'Doubles Match' to be arranged over the Crimbo holiday period. That could be quite interesting with eight around the table...
It is getting quite difficult to keep up with the demand!

Following our games last week, where I used the early 20thC. period Police Station as an additional building I thought it needed 'something' to make it blend in a little more.
That little 'something' turned out to be a removeable 'Cap' for the building, as it would then fit the theme of the other 'sci-fi' buildings I have with a matching roof.
I may make something else to fit over the front porch later. ...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/56/4805-230922142411.jpeg)

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/56/4805-230922142541.jpeg)
And without the 'cap' it can still be used in 20thC. games...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/56/4805-230922142620.jpeg)
And, finally, a shot of the 'cap' itself....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/56/4805-230922142653.jpeg)
-
Well, that works - totally changes the look and feel of the building. I get a similar feeling when I walk through my neighbourhood and folks have installed solar panels - it immediately gives a sci-fi twist to the familar.
This is actually a pretty good example of something that came up in another thread about using buildings in multiple periods.
https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=138394.0 (https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=138394.0)
I think your roof cap is a great example of the point one of the posts in that thread made, that swapping roofs can totally change the period/ place a building invokes.
-
Cheers!
Also, you need to bear in mind that the roof is the only part of a building that is almost always visible when playing, so worth giving a little more thought and attention to.
The start of another urban building for Outland.
Based on a huge foamboard building that I have cut up to make more manageable when it comes to storage, it has been greebled up with leftover bits and offcuts of sprue from various MDF sources, along with loads of plastic bits from from the bits box.
There is more to add to it but this section need painting first before those parts can be added.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/56/4805-280922125717.jpeg)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/56/4805-280922125754.jpeg)
Now to paint the thing....

A fine build, lovely "greebling" too! ;) :)
-
It's amazing to see you work on your Outland project again!
-
Thanks, chaps.
:)
It has been a while, but I think it is time to get more scenery done for Outland.
This building is nearly done and I have quite a few more things waiting in line.
-
The latest urban building for Outland is now finished,
It will have another section added to its summit to increase the height at a later date once it has been constructed, but it is perfectly serviceable as it is (which will be proven on Thursday when we next play!)

Venetian Wells from the Carnevale range, but the aesthetic fits for Outland.
Also, some 3D printed market stalls that I picked up on Etsy. mounted on glazing 'shims'...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/56/4805-251022120805.jpeg)
Everything was given the usual speed painting treatment: Dark Green spray as a primer layer, rough, heavily loaded drybrush in dark brown, a second drybrush mixing in bronze to the brown and a final light drybrush in neat bronze. They are then liberally coated in a thinned down GW 'Oxide with silly name' wash and then they are done.
-
Fine additions Paul👍
-
Beautiful looking pieces, and thanks for sharing your recipe for the oxidized bronze, it is quite effective and sounds straight forward to do!
-
Thanks, chaps.

Beautiful looking pieces, and thanks for sharing your recipe for the oxidized bronze, it is quite effective and sounds straight forward to do!
I should mention that the first drybrush of brown is pretty heavy with a lot of paint covering most of the model, just leaving the green to show in the recesses.
The brown 'drybrush' stages are pretty rough and ready, done with a half inch decorating brush, switching down to a smaller make up brush for the final stage.

Every now and then on LAF I stumble across a cracking thread like this that I hadn't caught before and I get to send time looking at all of the earlier pages - a visual treat!
It's inspired me to get one with some of the sci-fi buildings that I've half done and then shoved to the side when another project has come along. Changing the roofs has a huge effect that I hadn't realised before and the "topper" idea is genius. Excellent work and I'll be stealing as many ideas as I can!

I did get this thing finished last week, though, and forgot to post pictures.....

A large storage tank from Tablescape that I picked up cheap at a bring and buy last month.
It even, rather handily, came in a dark green so I didn't even have to paint it, just slap on a brown and bronze drybrush layers and some watered down oxide effect stuff.
Result!

Great additions :)

Good to hear there's more to come - the tank is a nice, big addition. 8)

That tank is really cool. Really fits nicely into a 90's 40k/Necromunda aesthetic without being the skull-o-rama of more recent years.

Thanks, Gents.

Never understood the 'skull thing'/
If they made more generic scenery (or at least made the skulls optional) then they would surely sell more scenery.

It is about time that I got around to these (it is not all urban areas on Outland, after all) as I have had the ingredients stashed away for ages.
Jungle bases.
A quick (less than an hour) session with the hot glue gun, some palm trees of unknown origin, a bunch of aquarium plants, artificial plants from IKEA and some pre-prepared bases results in some quick but serviceable jungle bases....eleven of them.

Four tall bases featuring palm trees mounted on CD's with a smattering of aquarium plants.

Shown alongside some 28mm scale Freedom Fighters....

These should work well enough alongside some smaller bases featuring Playmobil plants for a more dense look...

Our next game will be set in a more rural area so they should see service then.

Those all look great! I especially like how you incorporated the Playmobil plants.

They look great!😎

They look the part 8)

Someone's been busy. The building topper idea that you did for your Okd West stuff works really well for this too. You've executed it extremely well. Great stuff!
-
Nice work.
If i am not mistaken, playmobil had other & different jungle plants. Sort of like short palm leaves.
I've had some for years so perhaps they are oop but if you look around you might find some & add them to your collection.

Thanks, chaps.

Cheers, mate.
I have just been finishing off some simple stuff that has sat around for a while.
Sometimes things just need to be finished, and it does feel pretty good just getting things done.
I still have a load of those 'toppers' that I made for the old west town which I will utilise at some point.
In fact, some of the recent additions were originally intended for the cowtown modification and having them laying around has saved me a lot of time.
;) :)

Thank you.
I alraedy have a box of playmobil bits that need sorting out (maybe soon...) but not sure if I have any palm trees.
I will have to take a look and see what is available.

That market, Mason, really csme out nicely!

Simple, quick and serviceable was the order of the day with all these latest additions (market, tank, bridges and plants).
And I am happy enough with that.

As this thread was originally meant to be a place where I can put all of my Outland stuff together I am going to start putting all the other stuff here and get shot of the other threads.
All in one place will certainly make my life easier!
(Please forgive the OOP Blind Beggar Miniatures logos but I cannot be bothered to doctor them all!).
Bearing that in mind I thought I would start with one of the most used Factions, the Forces of the Baron, the would-be ruler of the planet.
First up are the Baronial Guard, the garrison troops who patrol areas already under the control of the Baron are on page 15 but there are other trrops that the Baron can call on dependant on the situation.
This section may as well begin with The Baron Himself, accompanied by two members of The Baronial Guard....
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/44/4805-170220154610.jpeg)
And now the various sections that do not come under the remit of the Baronial Guard:
Beginning with the Baronial Rangers, who are used in areas that have not been pacified or where more movement and agility is required than the heavily armoured Guard Troopers can provide...
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/56/4805-091122131936.jpeg)
The Rangers normally operate in seven strong teams and have a reputation for being ruthless.
Also attached to the Rangers are the Baronial Hunters, trackers that are usually used to hunt down fugitives. Hunter teams are accompanied by Cyber Hounds to aid them in their task, some of which may be huge and armoured.

Thanks!
The Cyclops are fun and this now reminds me that I need to make the attachments for them, so that is now on the to-do list.
Note: The Baronial Guard are on page 15 already.
I did not realise this so have updated the thread correctly to now show the Baronial Ranger Troops on this page instead.
D'oh!
