Checkpoint Post

[Sangennaru]

Cheers LAFers!

Sharing today my latest sculpt, a checkpoint post in concrete. The original shape is from the "Battlefield Bad Company" game, i redrew it and from there sculpted it by hand.
The work is 98% hand made: the only 3D printed parts are the small air vents and the control panel nearby the door.

The door itself - see the last pic - is a 3D print, but it is not intended as a part of the model.

Here's the initial drawing:


From there, i created the concrete volumes. It required most of the overall time, i'd say.





A scale comparison, with a couple of copplestone figs.



Then, all the plastic parts: windows and frames. Followed by a few cabling and the two 3D elements as said above.
Note the pavementation, all individual tiles. Not sure it was the right thing for the setting, but i rather like the result.







Here's a shot with a door i produced a while ago. Fits in the socket perfectly, i think i'll keep this standardized size for my future sculpts.



Well, here it is! Not a huge model, but completed.
It still hasn't got a buyer, although due to my current collaboration with Spectre Miniatures I'll want to hear from them before looking for another company interested.

C&C really welcome, inputs are extremely precious!

Cheers

Awesome! Must have it for my project

[blacksoilbill]

Very nicely done!

That is a truly lovely piece of work. Do you mind if I ask what wire you use for the electric cables? I struggle to find stuff that I can manipulate easy enough to follow walls like that, even when it's quite soft

Your attention to detail is inspiring.  I'm loving this. 

[Sangennaru]

Thank you all!

@Malebolgia, i'm not sure how long you'll have to wait, it really depends on who (see: which company) will take this for casting!

@clanmac: It's soldering wire: you can find several diameters online, it ain't cheap for soldering but model-wise it's perfectly affordable. It bends splendidly, although i wouldn't leave it hanging in a gaming piece, as it tends to be a little fragile.

Cheers

Really nice piece

@Sangennaru - brilliant, many thanks. Just bought some.

As always a masterpiece! But!!! Mister Perfection you`ve already got some work on the windowframes! The gaps there are annoying compared to the rest of the Model.

[Sangennaru]

Thanks again gents!

Thanks Delta! Yeah, the windows aren't the most detailed part of the model, but i don't see what gaps you're referring to? Those were meant as fixed bulletproof windows, so not much detail (no hinges or handles) to add. :S

[DELTADOG]

These gaps I mean. With the black parts I´m unsure if its a black marking or a gap, but non the less compared to the left window it looks not finished to me.

Oh i see! No, those are markings i used to glue the vertical beams in positions. I can assure you, the two windows are identical, with the only difference of the width and the 1 vs 2 partitions. In particular, the two horizontal beams are solid pieces, so no gaps of any sort, but i see what you mean.

Awesome! 

I hope that you get this sold onwards quickly so we can buy it for our games!

Tee hee!! He's finally moved up to the one true scale! Welcome to 28mm!

Brilliant stuff!   Hope you get a buyer!
