6mm Modern buildings - new buiildings 7/7
« on: June 11, 2016, 11:29:40 PM »
I've been working on some more terrain for my moderns. I started these buildings maybe 2-3 years ago but never got past the detailing stage. Its a Gamecraft building which I added extra details to and I also made it thicker (it looked too narrow IMHO). The back is etched acrylic and is nice but the details do not show up very well in the photos.


Building 1






Building 2




Extra pieces of foamboard to make the building wider


Comments etc welcome

The finished buildings

These are based these up to represent a school yard but they could be anything. I went with modular bases to give me some flexibility to add or remove different bases. I tried to lift my painting and airbrushed the base colour and highlights. Also I spent a lot of time on the windows and they have come out very well. Overall I am very happy with the results. Remember these are 6mm scale  :grin:









The main buildings are Gamecraft, the shed is Leven miniatures and the walls are from CNC. The base is plasticard with painters masking tape stuck one and it creates a nice concrete effect.

Thanks for the comments

I'm all inspired and have started on these two new/refurbished bases


Radio Transmitter
This is a Gamecraft mast with a Leven building as the Generator/Transmitter building. The base is plastic with masking tape on top followed by caulk patches. I added the fence with is made from brass etch but it is a tricky to mount and not bend!I also added a bit to the top of the mast form some brass tube. I going to add something to the base for the mast to slot into (the mast will be removable).





Garage

I decided to convert this building as I can't say I have ever been happy with the basing. So I made a new base and a shed for Timecast (I think) and some debris and junk on the base. Also there is a couple of H&R new barrels and the large drum on the brick base are from Timecast. This base is deigned to be a filler between two larger bases so I only used a little piece of fence for it.




More soon hopefully!

Hi all

I've finished these new industrial terrain pieces and them on my website. There is the School, Radio tower, and reconditioned a Garage and Trucking yard.





More pictures and information here

And I've added a battle report between some Cold British and Soviets that we played at the Auckland Wargames club about a month back. I've changed the format of the report slightly and hopefully it is better to follow.

If anyone is in Auckland and wants to try out SS, contact me for a game.

Cheers
Kieran
