6mm Ruins *Trenches*

,Yes plaster of Paris can be quite strong when it dries well and if you mix 2 parts of it with 1 part of white cement it will be even harder.
Though be careful as white cement is alkali based so safety glasses & gloves are suggested when using it.

Oh, i didn't know. Anyways, I don't use PoP. It's ways too fragile and the consistency isnt' the right one. Ceramic powders are what i'm using nowadays mostly. I've got tried at least a dozen different plasters, the "winners" are the two ceramic resins i managed to find. They look like plaster but the effect is MUCH superior!

Starting something new. This is just a volume study, i'll be re-doing it but i wanted to see the effect and feel it in flesh.
100% hand sculpted. I'll probably start with a 3D print for at least parts of it.

Can you guess what it'll be?

Nice work, I don't  game in 6mm  but doesn't  mean I can't  look  at great stuff.

I thought that is what you use!!! What brand are the ceramic resins you use ?

That reminds me of a bridge or a motorway support. Would look good as a collapsed underpass support. Are you planning to do motorway sections?

Neither do I, for now. It doesn't stop me at sculpting stuff neither! Thank you!

I generally use an italian brand, but the Raysin100 is good as well. Not cheap, but still good!

 I was thinking more at a railway section. Probably just as good?

More ruins! This time a blast wall. I did test some modularity, and it ended up being far more difficult to assemble than i thought. The final piece is nice, but for the masters i'll definitely join together several parts before molding.











As a bonus, it holds the commieblock and they do blend nicely!



C&C welcome

That's great

[Sangennaru]

Thanks! More to come!

For Cold War type games, at least. Most fighting would take place on the outskirts of larger the cities. And that is where you find low rent residential blocks and industrial buildings, warehouses and supermarkets.

Dr Zombie nailed what I'd like to see. So will you consider industrial buildings, warehouses and supermarkets? Be very useful...

Definitely in the plans! If you have reference pictures to share, i'd be delighted! I'd love to have these work well for cold war AND near scifi, some timeless design would work greatly!

Meanwhile: while proceeding with more buildings, i did this set of trenches. These will be primarly used by my Baran army (if i'll manage to make one) but they should work well in many settings.
The concrete barricades have a bit of a gothic style, but far from anything GW.
I REALLY loved the look of the tetrapods, and while they are mostly used against waves, there are evidences of them used as tank barricades.

Here the first pieces. More will definitely follow, i'll likely cast them in resin for my personal use anyways.







Man, these tetrapods are tiny! :3

C&C welcome!

[Sangennaru]

The core set is done. More variations will follow as soon as I prepare additional designs!

..and some blast walls are going to face the silicon molding tonight.
Here's only a part of the final set, I thought it was worth trying out how they behave in resin before doing a larger bunch!







As a bonus, some tank traps using the spare tetrapods!



C&C welcome

Wow. Just wow.
