Title: start of a Megacity 1 Gameboard
Post by: Dr.Falkenhayn on March 04, 2013, 01:42:18 PM

for all my 2000AD Games.I've made 3 Sections so far,around 1/4 of the final Gameboard  ::)
I will focus on an Indoor Location for now,inspired by the newest Dredd Movie.A "Streets of Megacity" Table would be much too ambitious for my Skills and Patience  ::)
All Parts are made from Hirst Arts Sci-fi Molds,cast in cheap Plaster (Walls/Floor Tiles) or expensive Dental Stone (all the Pipes and some of the smaller Parts).This is what i have so far...

the Gameboard can also be used for my other Sci-fi Stuff  8)

Thats a really solid start :)

How do you plant to paint the pieces? Brush? Airbrush? Sponge? Something else?

That's fine looking, made me wonder if you've got one of those Judge Minty figures lined up.

This is coming on very nicely.

Ill bet that everyone with an interest in this thread also files Kev White sculpted MC1 Judge miniatures under "must have" :)  I can wait to see them in hand.

I am inexperienced with airbrushes but seeing this makes me want to break out my cheapo compressor and have a bash with some terrain that I have waiting to go.  Inspirational.

I really like the look of this, it's got me thinking about my Aliens project! There looks to be rather a lot of Hirst molds there, about 5 different packs? You've done a great job.

Great looking MC1 terrain. The graffiti and posters really sets the scene. Hirst Arts moulds are looking very tempting.

Post by: Dr.Falkenhayn on March 12, 2013, 01:27:33 AM

thanks again Guys  :)

As for Judge Minty:Probably the most beautiful Judge Miniature ever made,who would want to miss that?  8)
Back to the Streets of MC1,holy Cow,painting takes much more Time than i expected,old Bruce was busy when he drybrushed all those Starship Corridors  lol Anyway,bit more Weathering,more Graffiti,will paint the Cables/Computer Consoles next,i bought some Neon Colors,lets see how this works out  ::)
Halfway through...

Nice Dredd,  where'd you get the idea from Dan?  ::)

I'll send you that spare bagde I've press moulded with the next JD batch.

Loving the hurst stuff, but heavy to carry around I'm sure.

That's the one with those naff yellow bits on his shins that I got you to change.  ;)

I like the darness of your film one.  Really gritty. That head works well,  thought it might be out of scale a bit but all good. Now I need another one Sheesh! ;)

Oh dear Dan, looking awesome as ever! :-*

I really like the converted Dredd as well (and credit to the Commander for his original). Where's the main body from? :)

That works surprisingly well for Ma Ma. The face even looks quite like Lena Heady.

Great idea :)

Post by: Commander Vyper on March 12, 2013, 01:21:46 PM

Sorry chris forgot to pm you this. It's the mongoose judge with his lawgiver outstretched I think. Quite a flat sculpt. Might be wrong.

Yep,Mark is right its this one  :)

Very well casted. I casted some home made molds with plaster, I never obtained such sharp and bubble free castings  :o

Looks fantastic. Did you use some sort of vibrator for the plaster? :o
