Title: Facility & Machinery Plot Points -- Updated
Post by: d phipps on 31 January 2013, 09:28:37 PM: To make some better terrain pieces for the Facility and Machinery plot points in our Pulp Alley games, I am using Pegasus Hobbies #4911 Chemical Plant -- http://pegasushobbies.net/catalog/Peg.-Gaming-Accessories/c2/p104/%234911-Chemical-Plant/product_info.html

The kit is fairly decent and gives you a lot of flexibility. I decided to make four bases that can be placed together or spread out across the table. I just finished glueing it together, so here's how things look before any paint...

THANKS!

You seem to get a surprising amount of terrain out of a single box, I like the outhouse you've added, where is that from?

Look forward to seeing them painted up.

Post by: pocoloco on 01 February 2013, 09:06:34 AM: It's a really nice set, have only eyed it before some sci-fi terrain in mind but seeing it in your pics, it's actually very suitable for pulp as well. I guess I need to put that on to-be-purchased list.

Btw, where is that water-pump from?

Post by: Big Martin on 01 February 2013, 09:34:55 AM: That's a really useful little set of bits - I could do with one myself. Will have to see if I can lay hands on one before I'm putting on a game in 2 weeks time.

Post by: Sardoo on 01 February 2013, 10:39:55 AM: This might lend itself well to the Federated troopers and the minions packs from Crooked Dice. Bit of a Blake's Seven / James Bond vibe here I think. Nice piece of work!

Post by: jet on 02 February 2013, 03:33:40 AM: It's funny. Ever since I got into Pulp Alley I've been looking at this exact set for the exact same purpose. Can't wait to see yours painted up.

Post by: d phipps on 02 February 2013, 05:05:47 AM: Thanks for the comments.

@ Pocoloco & Gharak -- the water pump and outhouse are from an old west toy playset. that's about all I can remember about it - the box is long gone.

I can't wait to get these new pieces in a Pulp Alley game, with the major plot point way up on top for folks to fight over. lol lol

HAVE FUN!

Post by: d phipps on 05 February 2013, 02:22:46 AM: I just did a quick bit of big-brush work. Nothing fancy, but I think they will work for some Pulp Alley terrain. :D

Post by: Mason on 05 February 2013, 08:50:37 AM: Great stuff!
:-*

Had ignored this before as I was always thinking of it as sci-fi type scenery.

Ideal for Pulp and Strange Aeons too.
Must consider getting some.
Thanks for the tip!
:D

Post by: Melnibonean on 05 February 2013, 10:02:31 AM: Very nice terrain. I've looked at these over the years and prevaricated.
And I bet I'll do the same next time I see them on the shelf :?
