6mm Ruins *Trenches*

[Sangennaru]

Cheers everyone! Here i am again, with another experiment in 6mm after the Favelas buildings now sold by Vanguard Miniatures.

This time I wanted to make something bigger, but i wanted to avoid the cheesy look of the four-facades-emptied-inside. I wanted to show some real rubble!
What i did, was to create full floors, and actually destroy them. The rubble inside is a good portion of the debris of the destroyed parts, and nothing more.

Of course it is just a concept. The parts are still a bit curvy and inaccurate, if i want to make something professional I'll have to better engineer the components before venturing into multiple buildings.

Still, I believe I kinda proved my point: IT. COULD. WORK!











Also, i still haven't prepared a ground floor, so the building has no entrance so far.

Suggestions on better designs and styles are welcome, of course.

Cheers
Jack.

That looks awesome.

Totally great! Will they be ultimately for sale somewhere?

It's exactly what I have been looking for to give my latest sideproject some scenery:

Hopefully yes! I still don't know where (I generally look for buyers further in the process), but I'm fairly sure I'll find the right one.

I'll try to post more in the next few days, stay tuned!

Wow, amazing!

[Suber]

It looks incredibly natural
That's the kind of building we are not used to see, but ultimately we all desire. I'm most interested

Great stuff

Thanks Suber! I tried to follow a more "realistic process to create ruins. People generally make the outer walls and fill them with piles of dust... here my goal was different. Of course, since i need to be able to cast it i had to put limitations in place: no undercuts or thin parts. If that was for a diorama, there would have been much more hidden detail.

Thanks everyone!

Any suggestion for future designs or concepts? Needless to say, i could build pretty much everything with this approach.


Cheers

Now that's a bloody proper wrecked building. That's the way they ALL should look!

Thanks Matt, some very kind words! But yeah, i agree wrecks are often underestimated.

Meanwhile i took a - bad-  shot with GZG tanks, to show the scale.



Again, prompting for suggestions and opinions. I'd love to work a full cold-war city or such, so any input is a good input.

Cheers,
Jack

I've already said it, but these are just great.

Thanks man!

I've been playing with parameters in order to get a better print (while working on other commissions), and by changing resin i am now able to push the details more.
Here the new upgraded version of the first floor!



By adding the doors and more columns, i hope to give a better "human-made" feeling to the ruins. What I really don't like of most of the ruins around is the lack of sharp edges and other clearly human made components. Most of the parts are just rocks and rubble, but flat walls should be there as well!

An angled shot here:



Again, suggestions on my next designs are welcome!

Cheers

Wow! They look brilliant!

What is this, black magic?

Yes.
