Great looking space colony!  Can you give us some info on how some of the pieces were made?

I'd never thought o use those CD spools as terrain... Nice idea. You make them look like genuine pieces of the colony. I like. What are some of the square ones made of?

I have. LOL You should see how many blanks i have here. I have a whole squad of geeks that save them for me at work. And since they go through a few a week and they have to bring the new ones to me to use it isn't hard to collect a few dozen in a short period of time. :-)

a building with a circular/spherical element on top of a short tower that's very nicely done

That piece looks like a small clay pot with a Christmas ornament glued on top. Nicely done!

Fantastic!

Amazing how a good painting job over "simple" boxes turn out to be such cool terrain pieces!
As said before that has got to be one of the best inexpense terrain pieces I've ever seen.

Cheers,

Nice work. 8)

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

I was trying to work out what they were. Of course! Obvious really  lol

Very good job on this layout. You need more junk, piles of crates, building supplies etc for figures to hide behind, but it's a great place to game  :-*

Inspirational work!!

Maybe add some of these to your plant addons?


These plastic cake trees look good once you remove the stem.

Nice. Great for low-level jungle vegetation. Do you have a URL for them?

I use them for dry/arid looking vegetation. They look good with the cacti.

Thanks very much for the lightning-fast response  :D

You're right, they'd look good in that setting too. Just what I'm after!
