Hello,

So heres my Post-Apocalyptic table with some of my terrain pieces and miniatures.

Title: Re: POST APOCALYPTIC: Miniatures and Terrain.
Post by: obsidian3d on 27 September 2012, 08:18:07 PM: Love the table! What did you make your ruined road pieces from?
Title: Re: POST APOCALYPTIC: Miniatures and Terrain.
Post by: Raxxus on 27 September 2012, 08:27:12 PM: Thanks for the comments, :)

I made the roads from a Ikea plastic cuttingboard the bendy type, then I cut it with a scissor and painted it with black paint and different drybrushes.
Title: Re: POST APOCALYPTIC: Miniatures and Terrain.
Post by: styx on 27 September 2012, 09:08:05 PM: Yea, please consider the road idea stolen, maybe the turbine but I would have to watch the material to not cause injury mishaps!

The table is amazing....is the phone lines a problem to work with with the cords in the way?

Nice, I've got those lying around somewhere. if the ex doesn't take hose with her, I'll definitly try to recycle them into wasteland roads :D

Post by: emergencyoverride on 28 September 2012, 02:26:54 PM: Very nice! I love it all, but especially the work on the helicopter and the use of salt to help the process. Great job! Which brand weathering powders do you use?
Title: Re: POST APOCALYPTIC: Miniatures and Terrain.
Post by: Raxxus on 28 September 2012, 02:37:06 PM: I use different weathering powders but the ones i have just now is: Warpig.EU and MIG pigments.

Post by: Dentatus on 03 November 2012, 08:27:21 PM: I'm likin' those. Building is perfect and the S-tank is suitably unique. Works well with the Hazmats.

I've been eyeing a Wiesel lite-tank for something similar. http://www.wonderlandmodels.com/products/revell-135-german-wiesel-2-leflasys-aff/ (http://www.wonderlandmodels.com/products/revell-135-german-wiesel-2-leflasys-aff/)

That S tank reminds me of one I have somewhere in the basement.
I think I know where it is, but I had completely forgotten about until I saw yours.

Post by: max on 20 December 2013, 09:15:53 PM: I really like him, i would love to have something like that in 15mm!
One thing though, for saying he is wearing a lot of armour, he has no helmet.

Allthough the picture aint that good, and I could possibly repaint/highlight the headgear a bit more.

Does any of you know how big the maxmini gasmask heads are in comparrison to gw,hasslefree and pigiron?

also does anyone know where ot get good looking wheels?, im looking to build a small/medium sized armoured vehicle.
Title: Re: Post-Apocalypse Now: Miniatures and Terrain.
Post by: Constable Bertrand on 02 February 2014, 01:20:39 AM: You could try a Tamiya 1/48 ww2 kit as a basis, that has wheels, an interior and exterior! :D Ive seen some scratch build wheels from very fine strips of styrene. :? Not my cup-o-tea though.

I've also painted up my Russians from mongrel miniatures as Metro lastlight Red line Soldiers.

The last painted Group is one I have had laying for almost a year(unpainted) Figures by Hasslefree.

But this is not all, I also have two WIP Pictures of Projects the first of which is a mutant and the other is a Walker/warmachine that has laid dormant and waited for decades only to Wake and drone across the wastelands.

Post by: Wyrmalla on 09 May 2014, 10:26:08 PM: A Karskin/however its spelled right? Are those resin now? If not it would've been hell to tear out the original gun to stick in your's probably. Where's the minigun from? Hasslefree? He reminds me of a heavy from that game Rage (youknow with the welder's mask faceplate and all). That pauldron armour's a cool idea.

Is that a Games Workshop Ork you're using for the big guy? That's a 40mm-ish base right? That company's released so many new models that I don't even know if its one of there's. Good work on that bruiser. He kind of has a Rage style look about him too, though I guess that goes for any mutants in salvaged armour. ^^

That big mech reminds me of something from Enslaved or Bioshock. The bricks about its top are great. How're you painting it up? Rusted to hell, or just dirty (the advanced nature of the machine keeping it in a decent condition)?

Good work on that lot anyhow. That mech's massive, I guess the challenge won't be finishing it, but rather finding an excuse to actually use it in a game. :D
Title: Re: Post-Apocalypse Now: Miniatures and Terrain.
Post by: Raxxus on 09 May 2014, 10:45:04 PM: Thats the good thing, I don't game so I can build anything I want.

The mutant is based on one of those chaos plastic heroes from warhammer fantasy.(on a 30mm base)

The gun on the Heavy guy was quite a hassle to remove so i ended up cutting off half the Hasslefree minigun(You were correct) and sculpting the rest.

Post by: Raxxus on 10 May 2014, 11:05:17 AM: The hard part about the mech is finding/building good looking back legs. lol
Title: Re: Post-Apocalypse Now: Miniatures and Terrain.
Post by: Wyrmalla on 12 May 2014, 02:46:55 AM: Well as far as legs go there's always the easily accessible Games Workshop Defiler/Sentinels legs. However if you could find a set from the Dust Tactics Axis Heavy Walkers, those could work nicely.

A teaser for the Group of figs I just painted.
Title: Re: Post-Apocalypse Now: Miniatures and Terrain.
Post by: Raxxus on 31 May 2014, 12:40:33 PM: As I had already done the Reds from Metro 2033 I though i could also do there enemies, the Reich.
figures are GW steellegion with some minor conversions, Guns etc..

I also though that maybe some of you might want to see all the figs at the same time so heres all that i've painted so far.

Post by: PatrickWR on 25 September 2014, 10:57:16 PM: Everything looks great! I'd love to see more terrain ... surely you've finished a few more pieces by now, right? ;D ;D
Title: Re: Post-Apocalypse Now: Miniatures and Terrain.
Post by: Raxxus on 26 September 2014, 05:01:24 PM: Sadly i havent really finished that much more.
But theres a few PIP figs including a new faction of militia/military,Zombies and a doctor.

And I have started on making a vehicle but have currently run out of ideas how to make it anywhere Close to "realistic" looking.
Title: Re: Post-Apocalypse Now: Miniatures and Terrain.
Post by: Raxxus on 27 September 2014, 11:55:11 AM: Okay, heres a small pic of whats been happening,I got the idea of using the Tau figures after i had played a bit of Bungee's new FPS Destiny.

Think I have to redo the car/IFV or need some more inspiration/ideas for it.

Post by: OSHIROmodels on 27 September 2014, 11:58:57 AM: I quite like that car design 8) Put a little bubble cockpit on the top near the front and your ready to go :D

Love the rest of stuff in this thread as well :-*

Post by: Raxxus on 06 January 2015, 08:39:55 PM: Well, I have just recently finished a few of these and applied a bit more highlights to some of them.

Hopefully these Pictures are a bit better then the ones I posted Before.

Started yesterday and finished today, could possibly need a few more highlights though.
It's a mercenary/ mutant hunter armed with a knife and a crossbow.

Now the Pictures got a bit dark,but you can still see the details,lol.

Title: Re: Post-Apocalypse Now: Miniatures and Terrain.
Post by: Constable Bertrand on 08 March 2015, 11:21:51 AM: Great rubble Raxxus, it's very believable. The loose bricks are a very nice touch.

Is the telegraph wire string? It looks the business that's for sure and will sit well in situ.

A pity the photos are so dark. When shooting on white backgrounds the auto function over corrects. If your camera has the setting try photographing at a few stops above to overexposed the white, but get the item perfect. :) some auto modes have a little wheel to do that.

Cheers
Matt.

Foamboard, foam,sand/gravel, clay/GS, small 1:35 bricks (might have been 1:48),cork and plasticard, etc...
I keep using what I find/got and not im not always satisfied with the results, therefore some of the terrain never get shown/finished and get reused as new materials for new projects.
Title: Re: Post-Apocalypse Now: Miniatures and Terrain.
Post by: Wyrmalla on 09 March 2015, 07:21:24 PM: Heh, if you don't think its good enough then take a picture of your terrain all bunch in together and shove them in the gaps. ;)

Also took some pictures for you to see how i work when creating terrain.

Primarily its made of MDF, foamboard, sand and cork, coated with glue,brown paint and sand to create a texture and then later painted, aswell as added a few bricks and tufts.
