Wowzers, thats a cracking little set.

The junk on the tables, the speed of finishing the terrain, the rubbish and tires... FANTASTIC!  8)  8)

The little fence wont keep out the deathclaws though.. but perhaps it will keep the baby dragons in. Looks like the deathclaws have a new park for their babies to feed in. :D

Great job,  yard work can wait if it helps you make great figures like that.

Yard work can wait any day that it is 80 degrees F before 10am. Blech. We have now had more 90 degree plus days already than we normally have in an entire summer - and they have been in a row. Oh, and we are having the driest 3 month stretch on record.

But yeah, a day's work - and I see the poky fence as more of a shoplifting barrier, and brahmin pen.  I placed the tires, barrels and sandbags where they would provide instant cover in case of a raider assault. I also built some other pieces up, but they can wait for paint to take pictures of.

Well at least your getting stuff done. I set every thing out to get started and then lose motivation. Need to just get stuff done.

Wow, great execution on that market! I think it looks great.  8)  Also totally stealing your sprue idea...I'm sure I have offcuts of around that size lying around and they look pretty perfectly sized.  lol

Looks excellent. Did you just glue the dowel to the sprue or did you drill holes?

I drilled through them, so that the bamboo skewers would just slide in, and I could level it out.

Well at least your getting stuff done. I set every thing out to get started and then lose motivation. Need to just get stuff done.

Just pick up the brush and go.  I find that playing the Fallout playlist I made helps immensely, as does playing FO3 or FONV for an hour or so before getting started.

And a few more people to wander about the wasteland.



Yeah, she would be better off in a South-based campaign.

And a girl with her dog.  I think they turned away from the mininuke explosion in opposite directions, thus the eyepatches.

And a little piece of terrain - I wanted a quick campsite.  I tried to show a little light color on the bottom of the rock sheltering the fire.

And more stuff!  Here we have a nice little place to set beside the market I built previously.



With removable stall, it is a place to get meats and drinks, and other such things.




I am trying to find a good windmill model to add to this, to power the refrigerator.  Any suggestions?





Buckets of fruit, bottles of whiskey and wine, a side of brahmin - we have everything you need!

Awesome fillers for a market or compound!

Cheers
Matt.
