Title: PA scenery project... Finishedish 01/01
Post by: Dags on 30 November 2017, 07:43:01 PM
A 'little' project over the next couple of months is to slap paint on some of Crooked Dice's PA scenery bits and, hopefully, put them all together on a 50cm by 15cm base. Never done anything like this before so wish me luck!


First up are some barricades...

The graffiti are decals (and need matting down) that I've had for donks.... my freehand ain't good enough, and my hand writing isn't neat enough to do them by brush  :'(

Then the first of 3/4 shacks....

And finally some sandbag walls...

Shameless bit of pimpage for the range...

Apologies for being a bit tardy with updating.... real life and all that  ;D

Anyways, here's some more of the elements...

Radar dish...

Again, decals for the tagging and weathering powders for the rust

Walkway made up of spare bits and brackets...

I always like to know where the bits I'm seeing have come from, quite tempted although I've probably got too much to paint already!

UVS beat me to it - Dags are you going to re-release the dish? That would be great.

I'm guessing that it's a CD piece or going to be.

Probably from the PA range they acquired (never saw it the first one round, and I can not remember its name).

Morning all. Cheers Jon - they look great!

The Radar Dish and Heavy Gun are both from the Pardulon range. They are the initial casts and need a few tweaks before being sold - but plan to release them in the next couple of months.

Some lovely stuff going on here.
Love that graffiti, it really does add to the scene.

Now to stick it all together on the base without cocking it up completely!  ;D

Couple of bits not glued down yet but I'm pretty happy for a first attempt at this sort of thing....

Cracking stuff Dags!  8)

The composition of the various bits into a single scene is great.  I assume this is a display piece for Karl/Crooke Dice

I'd put that on my table.  Gladly. So feel free to send it over.   ;)

Very nice.

The gun platform does look a little precarious on the roof.
