Pretty cool project, seems to be a nice layout. I've been wanting to make a Necro bar for about twenty years now, never have done it. I'm living vicariously through you

Well I'm yet to get to the bar part in the build. I can't wait to start on it though, I have a lot of ideas to make it unique. Everybody is invited for a drink, once it's ~~drunk~~ done (I should really sleep, and use the preview button...).

Yesterday I finished the walkway to the stairs and fixed the steps 6-15 to the tube. I will fix steps 1-5 after painting.

I also added supports for most of the steps. Some will need a little GS detailing.

The floor is also not glued to the frame of the walkway. I'm worried that I will not be able to get the water effect under it nicely. So it will be fixed after painting and the water effect.

I will have to work during the next two Saturdays though, as I cannot work too much on it during the week (I realized yesterday after finishing the walkway, that it's 2:30 am... actually I should be sleeping now

).
Anyway the base is almost done, and if not with the progress rate but I'm satisfied with the build itself. It does look great so far

Love those stairs!

Made some progress during the (extended) weekend.

Detailing is done on the walkway to the stairs.

I also made sign for the bar, with some lights (not actual lights, mind you. That would be a little too much for me...

)

I'm not 100% happy with it, but it will do.
So, as I said before, the original owner (and perhaps the builder) was a hunter, and his/her place was always known as the Hunter's nest. So when the first enterprising businessman took the place sometime after the hunter went missing, he decided to keep the name. But this was a really long time ago. Nowadays no one remembers if hunter was the name or the occupation of the first owner. Also most people call the bar simple The Nest.

I'm almost done with the base, only the wire fence left on the backside.

Some detail of the bigger wall piece.

Some of it will be more visible after painting, which I will start this week. This probably means I will not post any more pics about the base.
Now onto the main course: the bar.

I’m loving this!

it’s really coming together! You might not be happy with the sign, but I think it looks amazing!

It’ll come alive when it’s painted!

Lots of great details already. Painted up this will be a fun terrain piece that will probably see a lot of action over time.

I love what you have done with the place.

Brilliant. I can't wait to see this when it is done. Such great work done by people here.

Johnnytodd · « **Reply #25 on:** February 06, 2018, 01:25:18 PM »

Love all the details!

Nice weldlines and rivets. The bird skulls from that new GW set are a godsend, and I bet the neon sign will look great painted up

The whole build is terrific so far, from concept to execution. It's really inspiring and I can't wait to see you add on the upper level.

McMordain · « **Reply #28 on:** February 07, 2018, 01:06:57 AM »

Thank you all, I happy that you enjoy the build so far.

Well I'm not that confident in my painting skill when it comes to terrain, but we will see.

I'm certainly hope so. I will be a very sad panda, if it wont be used much.

Yeah, the GW Skulls set is great. The bird skull isn't the only one I will use in this build

I forgot that my paints are in our club, so I have to take them home first to start painting. In the meantime I bought some supplies to do it. I will try something I never did before, that is using salt for weathering. clanmac have a great tutorial in his awesome Junktown Scrapyard Crew thread about the technique, I will follow that. His thread and work is also one of the main source of inspiration for this build.

I also started working on the upper level, I will post pics tomorrow.
