A while back I made a load of buildings for a sci fi shanty town, but had no surface for them.
I'd started working on something ages ago, but never got round to painting it.
I got a couple of spare hours at work today, and decided to get it done. :D

I SIMPLY LOVE IT!
LA should have a "Like" Button for work like this!
-
Nice! Why can't I do stuff like that at work? :)

Cheers lads :D
Making it was pretty simple really.
1. Nail cheap plywood board to leftover bits of wood for strength and support.
2. Glue foam board/blocks onto plywood sheets to look like ruins.
3. Swirl modeling plaster around the surfaces in groovy patterns and directions.
That's basically how I made it.
Painting was a little bit if a pain.
1. Look for black acrylic paint in my office, and find none.
2. Pop down to the local 100¥ shop and buy loads of calligraphy ink instead.
3. Apply a liberal mix of water, pva, and black ink to everything.
4. Frantically clean up after, and spend 30 minutes wiping up ink.
5. Dry brush with crimson, red, orange, light orange, yellow, pale yellow.
I still have a few things I'd like to add.
1. Water tower
2. Watchtower
3. Chain link fence for the scrapyard
I've got two games coming up soon, one JD and one 40K. They'll be in a couple of weeks so I'll be sure to snap some pics then for you all.
Cheers for all the kind comments.
-
Thanks for the explanation!
However, with some closer looks that would be even easier to understand the process! Just some pics of the finished peices! ^_^
-
Yep, I promise to get some pictures ASAP :)
Everything has been packed away,so the next time I take it all out I will be sure to get lots of pics,
-
That is absolutely great! :-*
-
Cheers man.
Can't wait to get a game in on the bloody thing! ;D
-
You Tube is crying for a quick drone flyby. ;)
Agreed, more and closer piccies, especially populated by the dead and dying. lol

-
Thats fantastic, I love it.
Well done.
-
That looks superb.
-
So, it looks like I won't get a game of Judge Dredd for a while :-[
BUT!!
I had a spare hour or so at work today so I snapped a few pics with my Rogue Trader beakies and orks :-* :-*
The second from last pic is of most of the terrain crammed into half the table.
Please excuse the poor excuse for a panoramic shot. It is a shocker lol lol

Lovely, cool looking photos.
That looks like a really great table to have a few games on.

Wonderful!
That really does have a lovely 'old skool' feeling to it.

Thanks. I was aiming for an old skool look with it. I though the mix of posters would help.

Lots of very cool stuff those days here!

lovely table. Great work

Woooow! That's an awesome board! I love that! :o :-*

If you ever find yourself in Japan, pop in for a game and a beer.

Fantastic looking board. I tip my hat to you sir!

Do you know Japan well? I'm in Mie Prefecture, in a city named Yokkaichi. Yokkachi's claim to fame is that it has a form of asthma named after it!
Nagoya is the closest major city, about 30 minutes by express train.
-
We go over a couple of times a year but mainly Tokyo and Osaka (family) so a bit out of the way for us normally but I'll see what I can do :)

Someone ( or something ) has arrived to bring law to the lawless!

Cheers man.
I've got the house to myself at the weekend so I may very well get my muties done too.
Watch this space!
-
Nice work :)
-
Indeed. Good stuff. ;-)
-
Great board!
Be careful what you offer - my daughter lives in Toyohashi, and Toba aquarium is a favourite! It's my turn to visit Japan next...

Blimey, that is just round the corner from me!

Time to get the ball rolling in 2015.
Got some muties done for The Cursed Earth.
Im using some To'ok from Zombiesmith. They are suitable ugly and characterful to work as muties :)
(http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/yy313/Spiderman739/b68beddaaa4129c3802c01242f88489b_zps6ba3537c.jpg)
-
Nice! :)
-
One more dandy to add to the bunch.

I really was hoping for the new Dredd supplement to have rules for aliens, but I reckon the mutant desperado list should get the job done.
-
Wow, I have missed this thread for a while and it has just got better and better. Your painting is fantastic and your taste in models is pretty great too :)
Top class. The To'ok were an inspired choice.

Cheers mate. Yeah, I was pretty proud of choosing the To'ok. They are an absolute joy to paint.
Once they are done, I'm going to work on my gang of renegade robots :)
Edit!
I forgot that I'd already done one villainous renegade robot!

-
Thats great treatment of a Necron, he looks the business.
-
The necron looks great; very sinister and threatening! Good work.
-
Cheers.
I did a a little conversion work too, but not much. Just trimmed down his gun and added a clip underneath.
-
And the final muties are done :)
(http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/yy313/Spiderman739/a969d1f47f4d64bb2985f09ff3a038e4_zps2d67714a.jpg)
-
Nicely done :)
-
Thats lovely painting on those. Your style is really nice.
-
I concur, really nice work!
-
Loving the muties. I've not seen many examples of them painted up. Zombiesmith sure has some great unique figs.
-
Cheers for the kind words all of you :)
Yes, Zombiesmith have some of the most original stuff around at the moment.
Id been looking at the To ok for a while, trying to find a justification for buying them :)
JDMG was the perfect excuse :)
-
A new shack, some walls, and a few walkways were added to the shanty town today :)

Got these guys done.
I shall be using them as Citi Def in Judge Dredd.

Those are really perfect for Citi-Def spevna, I like them a lot. The helmet desing freminds me of one of the Hewry Flint illustrations of Citi-Def in Day of Chaos a couple of years ago.
Really nice.
-
Nice Job. Though they are low on detail the ERM Corporate line has some very nice figs that scale well with current lines (read "tall") and seem to paint up a treat. Good to see more pics of these figs as they don't show up painted often.

Bingo! I think I saw the same pic. That's what drew me to them.

Yes, they are pretty tall. I found that the lack of detail made them quite fun to paint. Not as busy as some other minis we could mention ;)

Got in three games of Dredd yesterday.
Me and a mate played through the Cursed Earth Desperadoes scenarios.
Here are some pics from the day.
My mutant bounty hunters and my mate's Citi Def went head to head on a scrap raid.
My muties were on a rooftop about to grab some scrap.....
(http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/yy313/Spiderman739/7c56e93ed501cff099c498ac6039f958_zps5eed6a0f.jpg)
But the Citi Def had already got them in their sights!
(http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/yy313/Spiderman739/8b778823d6d91ab0c32eb56c9523346a_zps08cafbc1.jpg)
Heavy Spit guns make short work of muties :(
After taking a bit of a drubbing, the last man standing decided to bugger off, but not before giving them a piece of his mind!
(http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/yy313/Spiderman739/854e6fa303cb07e8b6836c005e5e4ad2_zps22fe71d0.jpg)
The next game was a raid on a mutie compound.
(http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/yy313/Spiderman739/fb3016ff7b3ba11aa4e79ba8ef74a9b7_zps0d4bc2a0.jpg)
The Citi Def snuck into position;

My muties tried to get a few shots into them from behind the safety of their walls, but didn't achieve much. Mr Heavy Spit Gun managed to saunter up to a gap in the wall and unload into my muties face :(
(http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/yy313/Spiderman739/167fdfdcc4156c4a0a2da51207e8ac6c_zpse0ac816d.jpg)
The Citi Def medic managed to sneak into the fort, and as he suffers from Futsie I decided to close him down fast!
(http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/yy313/Spiderman739/f08ae5781acd8c30c0f8cba7980f6c49_zpsec6530e2.jpg)
He legged it, I gave chase, but he was too fast for me!
(http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/yy313/Spiderman739/0ae8e5641d4ec4f6cc916608dea1543c_zpsdf61b6b0.jpg)
(http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/yy313/Spiderman739/0d59c6f2ef1fc877eed123e50cf7faee_zpsf44e6513.jpg)
Eventually, the Citi Def got the higher ground and I gave in.
The third scenario was the Citi Def trying to leg it through Cursed Earth, with my Muties coming on from the sides to attack them if they could pass a will check.
(http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/yy313/Spiderman739/8aed75fa63f757f90549287286a8827a_zpsd9d9cf03.jpg)
They got about a third of the way down the board before my guys pounced!
(http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/yy313/Spiderman739/a0ac85dd629dc313c53251a85a9ee90b_zps6bc9ae78.jpg)
My cleaver carrying mutie made short work of them......aided by the Futsie a Medic :) I rolled off against my mate, got control of him, and managed to take out two one of his guys!
All in all, a great day of fighting.
-
Great stuff! :)
-
That looks great. Like the Citi-Def models used earlier, the game shots also remind me directly of another recent strip. One where Citi- Def went on some sort of survival course in the Cursed Earth. I think that Koburn and Rico featured.
Brilliant stuff regardless.

These Citi Def belong to my mate Rich, and be mentioned a similar story actually. A training mission was the reason he came up with for his lads being in the Cursed a Earth.
-
I just remembered, it was Billy Zane Block Citi-Def on Cursed Earth maneuvers.
Not that it really matters or anything, but it's nice to be able to cite precedent for the encounter :)
-
This was the Malcolm Tierney Block Citi-Def, and the members were Sergeant Andy McShane, Col. Felsham, Pvt. Jesus Montalban, Pvt. Parton, and Medic Dr. Krippen.
-
Been a while, and I'd totally forgotten about this :o
Got a nice old school marine done today. Should fit right in on this table.
(http://imgur.com/ll2rR2vl.jpg)
-
Also got a RT era Eldar warband finished :)
(http://imgur.com/P6fjhjBl.jpg)
-
Those are great! The weathering on the marine really works nicely, but even better is the very cold palette on the guardians.
Really nice :)
-
Those are really quiet superb!
The marine is great, with the extreme shading working really well on him, and those Eldar are amazing, the limited pallette that you have chosen is wonderful.
:-* :-*
I am really glad that you have come back to this.
:D
-
Cheers lads :)
I'd actually forgotten about this thread, but I'll make a point of updating it with all the new stuff I do :)

Here's a couple of older ones that I forgot to post.
The Angel Gang, and Cursed Earth preacher.

The first of a 5 man combat squad for patrolling the shanty.

I love this Silver Skull! The heraldry on the shoulder pad looks really cool, nice work :-*
-
Cheers Suber.
I went with a dark green instead of the usual black, just to make it pop a bit.
I think the skull looks a little lumpy though.
-
Had a great day of ITEN today :)
We played three games.
1. Squats VS Crimson Fists
2. Eldar VS Catachans
3. Nova Marines VS Chaos Marines and demons (400pts)
Much fun was had, let me tell you!
We used the 2nd ed stuff because we had all three books at hand.
The first game was just a shoot out, but the other two were to reclaim the stack of beans and Corona. We called it the Heinz Catastrophe!
After looking at the 3rd ed weapon list I can see why the shuriken catapult was changed as the minis Grit modifier was pretty lethal.
When we played Marines VS Chaos marines we found that the roll to get back up was a little too hard to achieve, so we will probably make a house rule to allow anyone nearby to add a modifier to help you get up.
We also want to write stats for missile launchers as it is a pretty iconic weapon.
All in all, a great day of gaming and our 40K enthusiasm has been rekindled!

As the police are too scared to patrol the shanties at night (or even during the day for that matter), the closest the inhabitants get to law enforcement is these securi-bots.

A chain with Suber the other month reminded me of this sadly neglected three :(
I shall endeavor to update more often!
Last month I did a rather glowing Ork in honour of Orktober!
He shall be prowling the rad wastes very soon!
