Title: 15/18mm Scale Pipelines
Post by: zrunelord on January 30, 2023, 06:46:48 PM: Hello again all,
Here is my latest bit of terrain.
Generic Pipelines. More pics at link.

Various bits & bobs used including spice containers, a/c drain pipes, 3D printed resized pipes & fittings , balloon 6mm diameter tubes & card.
The computer terminals are from Antenocities. 5mm ( hole size) chicken wire was used for the railings & ladders.

White PVA was mostly used with CA for the magnets.

Card bases and I stuck mosquito netting to it to add texture.

Almost all the bits have 4mm magnets. Almost all because I made a mistake with the orientation of some of them 😒 ( now I've made a jig with 2 magnets & sprue to avoid just this ... about time !!! )
Anyway, to counter act this I used the heads of old 4 to 5'' nails ( cut down to size ) & 1 euro cents stuck to some of the pipes or terrain.

I plan to use these with my power station

Thank you for the kind words.

I think I will paint it the same greyish tones as the power stations with colourful signs here & there.

Glad you like them.

15/18mm has given me the possibility to build models which would have taken a warehouse to store if done in 28/32mm ;D

Will post more pics asap...

here they are all finished.
I tried something different this time. Instead of starting with a dark undercoat I started with a silver one. Then added dark green, blue black, brown etc.
More pics at link.

Thanks for your comments.

Post by: zrunelord on July 01, 2023, 05:43:38 PM: Thank you WM, Glad you like them.

Indeed.
The only downside I found is that you have to fiddle around with all the different small pieces ( since they are 15mm)
until you get something you like. In 28mm this wouldn't be a problem ( as stuff is larger ) but in 15mm it just might be a good idea to
glue several pieces to each other. Quicker to setup up but less modularity. :(

Have to take pics with the power station next.

Might also do ruined or vegetation overrun pieces.
