New Terrain elements
« on: February 08, 2011, 04:28:05 PM »
Mostly made from old boxes, cans and the obvious plastic CD towers, cheap and cheerful. Any tips for future elements would be appreciated. In the works are wire fence sections and some scatter scenery in the form of crates and barrels.
I'm slowly working up to some multi storey buildings with playable interiors.......

Looking good - love the doors in the last few shots, and there's a building with a circular/spherical element on top of a short tower that's very nicely done. Plus, painting and detailing is great - any tips on how you did it?

Yes indeed, absolutely smashing. What did you use for the ball thing?

Nice work. 8)

I think I will borrow the CD-tower storage tank idea for my own board   :D

This is one of the better "cheap" terrain tables I have seen.  The painting is superb and very the business. Good work.

I'd vaguely been thinking of juice-carton openings to use as gothic window-shapes, but you've made great use of them as airlocks.

Yep... looks really super.

Noticed you are using Infinity mini's.  Understand having lots of terrain for cover is really important that game, though I have no experience with it.

Must admit though, if I every get back into the Sci Fi thing... Infinity is right there at the top.

Good show, mate!

Love the look of this table - a very effective finish. I particularly like the numbering on the buildings, it really ties them all together.

Love the terrain. I especially like the unified look the paint job gives them, that's very effective in pulling everything together. Nice minis too. A few ideas...hanger, landing pad, uplink tower,

BTW, how did you do the numbering?

Armorcast has some very nice resin can toppers so you can turn old chips and coffee cans into high tech towers...  they look nice.

Great stuff, very futuristic.  Looks like a far better version of my terrain.  I'll be using this as inspiration.

Brilliant man. Would love to see the spray and masking methods youre using on the buildings.

Well done. Very elegant.
