Cork city work in progress

[sundayhero]

I'll go to supermarket tommorow morning, so I'll be able to start painting tommorow afternoon ! Too cool 

[Rob_bresnen]

That is looking really good. I will follow this thread with interest.

Thanks,

I can't wait to paint them 

That

GET ON WITH IT!

[The Dozing Dragon]

Looking great. I've got one Sarissa Precision apartment block but the cost of buying more has thrown any thoughts of doing so......now you have solved the problem!

This is going to look stunning when it is completed.
It looks bloody good so far, with some nice touches of genius (yours or not, they are still damn clever) that I cant wait to see finished off.

Thanks for the kind words, but everything concerning cork building is coming from this website :

And other LAF members made some nice cork scenery before too :

I just modified a few things (like height) sometimes to match my needs.


But I agree, that's a nice way to make cheap and fast scenery. I used about 2 and half cork tiles (50x50cm) for this 3 big buildings. I have bout 12 tiles remaining for other scenery

Hi,

I painted the buildings today, with my "famous" terracota spraycan 

The result is not good. Pencil markings are visible true the 3 coats of paint. The paint texture is almost invisible. In one word, I'll have to repaint the buildings another time, by hand, and buy a new can of paint (brush paint this time). I just lost 11euros (15usd) and a day (since they buildings smells spraypaint now...I kept them in my cellar to dry until tommorow or saturday).

BIG FAIL 

[sundayhero]

Let's say "small" fail, since after complete dry, the result is OK. The pencil marks are still visible sometimes, but nothing some paint cheater technics cannot hide 

Now I'll paint them, again using very simple technics to keep in mind the fast building process. Making the superheroes/pulp city buildings this way is really, really fast, even if it lacks some details, the immediate result still very acceptable in my opinion.

Nice job.

They came out quite nice!

[Mason]

Nice job.

They came out quite nice!

They certainly did!

Very nice work there.

[sundayhero]

Thanks ! Tommorow I'll probably finish paint them, in the same time I have to finish (the boring to death) flocking operations on my heroscape grass tiles 

Then I will make a few more buildings. I also have to complete some survivors, so I will be able to try ATZ too.


I also have to see how I can tweak supersystem3 + chain reaction bits to make SS3 playable solo.

And paint some fantasy adventurers for WHL. And progress on my 3d dungeon. And find a job

That looks fantastic SundayHero, it came out great for a basecoat. I'm really enjoying the corners, with the fine cut stone edging.

Looking very swanky.

The corkboard texture looks very good on the building.
