Nope,

I think I'll just kitbash the passengers wagons, putting them together to make some kind of aerial subway train. I already find some plastic bits to make the railroad bed pilars ;)

 

 :'(

A NY/Brooklyn railway sounds good sundayhero. It certainly goes more with your current project.

Cheers
Matt

The problem is that I don't have any engine for the kind of train you're talking about. It's why I'll simply make a symbolized 2 cars skytrain.

Here's last progress for today. I finished the bare roof and stair cabin/air conditionning room.

I also added a small wall inside the building. It will support the future metal curtain between the market itself and the storage room.

I also found some thick lexan sheet (recycled from packaging) for the windows.

I'm still not sure where I'll put the stair cabin on the roof, so for now you can move it.

Tommorow I'll add the last details : corrugated board on roof, doors, security curtains, windows, storage parking metal mesh,  and some kind of parking pilars in front of the store.

I also need to add a big advertisement board on front of the building, and a few more details on the building itself.

Fantastic stuff.  ;)

I used cork to make my desert buildings but didn't think of using it for city terrain. Thanks for the heads up. I think I'll have to make some new stuff in the future.

Cheers,
Ian

It's really an effective way of making cheap and fast terrain. The only difficulty is to find the cork sheets. I can be tricky.

Here in France, I only found ONE store selling it, and it's not exactly the same product Matakishi spoke about (mine is 7 or 8mm thick, so mostly only compatible with heroic 28mm scale).

One year later, the supermarket is almost finished  ;D

In the mean time, I decided to go into 15mm supers, but recently changed my mind again. I'll go 28mm (like my zombies project), but "generic" and custom super heroes only. No marvel or DC.

So I decided to finish my small town project, wich will be used for both ATZ and SS3 (and probably SS4 once released).

HEre's some preview pics. I'll do some better ones tommorow with daylight.










As you can see, it's still fast built scenery, like I also did for my heroscape and dungeon sets.

Inside the buildings the details are minimal, using printed stickers. Outside, the cork and mdf are just painted and weathered. But as a solo gamer, the purpose is to build fast, cheap and eficient gaming painted scenery, wich will still be better looking than no scenery at all.


I still plan to create "premium" full detailed scenery soon, for my "shadowpunk" project (scenery wich could be used for Shadowrun but also Cyberpunk and Judge Dredd universes). But I will probably create my own molds to keep the work fast enough.

Anyway, for now it's just the cork city !  lol Tommorow I will add the last details (detailling the small back warehouse)

Lovely building. I particularly like the shelves idea, I must find a use for that myself.

Indeed. Cork seems to be a quite multi useable materiel. But what is a good (and cheap) source for cork? ;-)

thanks for the comments.

I must say that it was difficult to find cork here. But one day I found 2 packs of tiles in a hardware store for cheap (about 10euros each pack). It's also not the exact same thing Matakishi is using, as far as I know. But now that I bought it, I'm using it  lol


I made my 3d dungeon walls with it, and also a few supercity buildings too.

Here's the final pics, still not daylight, but anyway. I took photos all around the building :












A photo with one of my previous buildings :





And some action pics. The doors are functional :



And you can notice the black lining I did on the building. I will probably do it on the previous buildings too, it give a nice comics effect, in my opinion. You can also notice that I forgot to paint the exit panel above the emergency door.


A last survival shot. Today I made a  couple of palettes to add some extra cover. Boxes are glued on them, but the palettes can be removed.




I also have to repaint the forklift I bought.
