Temporary unemployment has few benefits, but one is the chance to get some stuff done and cease lurking. The net result in this case is Rosie and her Junktown Scrapyard crew. My models are vaguely Fallout inspired (so god knows what happens now number 4 is on the way). I have a group of surface dwelling survivors underway (living in Junktown) and then a gang of well equipped Vault Dwellers - a few sneak peak WIPs at the end.
Rosie, aka the Scrap Queen runs Junktown's surprisingly well equipped but inevitably shabby Scrapyard and salvage operation.

Her brother Cutter is the technical brains, happiest only when turning large things into piles of smaller things.

Mr J is the quiet but effective muscle that keeps the competition in line. He is also quite handy with explosives, so he looks after the bomb shed...

Fit Nina and Shae are the power tool princesses of the outfit.

Scooter keeps all the equipment working, but he won't paint it.

Hope you like it. More to follow while the break lasts...

Impressive!
I must ask, the big radar on the tank, lucky find or store bought? I've been looking for something like that for quite some time now.
-
Stunningly good. The figures are brill, the vehicles terrific but for me the enormous amount of scrap is the magical detail, a rusty cherry on top. 8)
-
Many thanks.
For Gunbird, the radar was a spare weapon option with a Dust Tactics US walker. To be honest I don't have much time for walkers, but they make a great source of hydraulic bits for stuff like this.
-
The Hughes Corporation Recycl-o-matic
Feed Clark Kent in at one end, and Superman bursts out of the other …
A great collection.
-
Impressive! What I especially like about this is that it's an exercise not only in painting models, but in crafting a world. Good show!
-
Absolutely brilliant work Clanmac! A pure joy to look at. If this is what unemployment has brought you then it has been time well worth spent! But I do hope you are not out of work any longer than you would want to be, good luck with the job hunt if such you are doing.
Great work.
-
Excellent stuff and most effective.
Can we get an overhead shot of the lot ?
-
For zizi666, top down view of the Scrapyard stuff - there is quite a lot more WIP stuff, but perhaps that's one for the next few days.
You might notice I am also outgrowing my small terrain photoboard. Another thing on the list....
-
Thanks.
Awesome collection you got there.
The large machinery looks very effective. scratchbuilt out of ?
-
The crusher is based on an old Matchbox Mega Rig thing, suitably augmented. The recycl-o-mat frame was an old playmobil toy and many of the bits are from transformer toys. I'll try and make some more progress on them over the next week and put up some better pics if I can control my enthusiasm for getting the Vault Dwellers done.
-
Man, that is the best looking junkyard I've seen for a while. :o
And ... was anyone else reminded on the junkyard in Jagged Aliance, too? I wanted to start playing that scenario at once, when seeing this.
Excellent, love it

That is inspiring and stunning and I so want to play on it. :-* :-*
-
Awesome work..rusty, grubby and full of character. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful! Is the figure with the circular saw stock, or is that a conversion?
-
Circular saw guy is from the Mega Miniatures Salvage crew. I think Johnny Lauck has just relaunched them on a kickstarter. I replaced the original head with one from Maximini.
-
Absolutely stunning looking figs and terrain.
-
Sweet setup!!! 8) 8) the paint chipping and faded yellow looks awesome!
I should paint my bulldozer in that scheme! :D
I may have missed it, but what is the compressor/recycler made from? Hotwheels launcher thingys or is it a resin kit?
Cheers
Matt
-
Wow! I like where this is going.
-
IT'S JUST FANTASTIC ;D ;D ;D
a lot, a lot, a ton of inspiration here
thanks a lot for sharing your work !!!!! :-* :-* :-*

A few more piles of junk. I just can't leave them alone.
First an up-gunned piece by Micro Art Studios - the Store
The base model is really nice and despite being a weird expanded foam mix it paints and handles very well. As ever, I have covered it with extra bits to add more junky chaos.

Second, Scooter's Fuel Dump
Need fuel, oil, carelessly exposed radioactive rods for your Corvega? This is the place. This is a Snapdragon resin piece with lots of extras added.

Enjoy the rads...
-
Very nice stuff! Your toothbrush had a very long day I guess! lol
As a little suggestion for improvement, I would darken the deepth of the container on the upper side. Its looks too clean for a riffled surface on an exposed position imo.
-
Those hit all the right places. Good find.
-
Sweet work, the weathering is just perfect. 8)
-
where did you get the saws and other hand tools? i recognize a few figures as hasslefree and they're definitely on my wish list.
everything looks great! making junk piles sounds easy (glue a bunch of stuff together haphazard ) but it's hard to make it look purposeful and still have a little randomness. super job.
-
Thanks for the comments.
where did you get the saws and other hand tools?
The saws are mostly improvised - Shae's (Hasslefree) is a chainsaw cut down and plasticard blade added. Fit Nina's (VOID) drill is just a cut down gun with a bit of piano wire stuck in and painted with a spiral. Trent's (AKULA'S Apocalypse Isle) hammer is scratch built.

Good spot. Will darken it and add some more dirt.

This looks awesome great job!

Great job painting!! You're making me more than a little envious! Are you painting this all up for fun or do you have a rule set you'll be using to play with?
-
Great job painting!! You're making me more than a little envious! Are you painting this all up for fun or do you have a rule set you'll be using to play with?
Mostly just for fun. I can't help thinking when I have enough stuff I'll think about gaming with it, but I just love creating post-apocalyptic stuff. That's why I have so many more vehicles and scenery than people to populate them.

You know you've been idle when you click reply and Lead Adventure asks if you are sure you want to reply to a post that is over 120 days old. Bad, bad post-apocalyptist.
Back off my butt and trying to create the rest of Junktown, the town that has grown up around the biggest scrapyard out west. In my mind's eye Junktown was always somewhere between the Fallout original and Megaton, with its airfield theme. The idea is that most of the houses are built around old aircraft.
So, to the WIPs

Frantically undercoating so I can get on with the usual hairspray and rust nonsense and then I hope I'll have some finished articles to post. As ever I put the photos up to try and put the pressure on to finish these.....but then I said that over 120 days ago last time.

Lovely stuff. But where's the rest of the Warhammer mech?
-

Oh he'll appear, piece by piece, in junk piles, as parts of water tanks and rusty machines. in fact his engine has just turned into a stand alone generator for one of the buildings. Gotta love robots as a source of wonderful bits.
-
Why did I miss this before? Great work, update more!
-
Hey wanted to ask - where did you source the tracked vehicles? I scratchbuilt a forklift sometime back, but have never tried to make a CAT because I had trouble finding ones that scaled anywhere near what I wanted, but these look pretty damn good.
-
Hey Sinewgrab
those little wheeled loaders look like they're from Siku in 1:50 - easy to find on E-bay, in UK at least - got one in front of me as I type
edit - of course, if I'd read your post properly I'd have seen that you were talking about the tracked vehicles, doh!
-

Yep, GDonk is right, the loaders are Siku. The others are 1/48th scale aircraft handling tractors with the wheels pulled off and tracks added (from Ork Wartrakks or Robogear). i just thought they looked a little tougher with tracks on.
-
Where are the planes from?
-
Where are the planes from?
The red plane is the remains of a matchbox Mega Rig. The white one is a Revell 1/48th Dakota
-
Those are really great, very inspired scratchbuilding! :-*
-
8) 8) that is going to look amazing with a bit of paint. I like your littered plane parts, they help give that megaton vibe.
Cheers

Yesssss. :-*
Just plain clever. Also very well executed. Adding all this to the inspiration file!
-
As simple as the strapping is, it's lifted everything to a whole new level. Well done.
-
Very cool, I admire you sticking with one theme for so long, it just keeps getting better and better.
Are those siku pallets? You did a great job on the wood texture if so!
-
OK, finished the next piece and really happy with it.
Mr J's house. The foreman of the Junktown Scrapyard crew inevitably lives in a certain rusty, ex-military style!

In case you were wondering what the poles are for on the roof, I am still toying with the idea of adding a canvas cover for the roof top to make it a kind of 'used-to-be-an-engine-in-here-but-now-its-a-balcony-with-sunshade' type thing.
-
Very impressive Scenerypiece! I like the whole concept of your scrapyard very much because all buildings are build in way it could be in reality!
Could you please tell me where you got this Bunkerdoor from you are using as Main Door for the House?
-
Thanks Deltadog. Door is from Zinge Industries. Link attached. Their stuff is great.

Thx Ah THAT Door. Sh*** My last order from Zinge is just shipped yesterday :-( ok on my wishlist for the next one^^
-
Fwoah! That is brilliant! :o 8)
Words fail.
-
Love it. Particularly the front door.
-
That house is amazing. Looks really realistic. The tarp idea sounds great
-
Youz have mad rust skillz (as the kids might say) :o
Seriously- I have never seen junk look that cool. Inspiring stuff.
-
Very cool looking junk house, the door really tops it off. 8) 8) 8)
The combination of toy planes, detailed resin parts (doors/windows) and other junk bits works really well together. Very seamless.
Yeah do a "sail barge" type rooftop for sure, where military junk meets luxury ;)
Cheers
Matt
-
Brilliant new addition.
-
And the next bits....
In the middle of Junktown I intend to have a pile of containers and other junk, on top of which will go the various aircraft based houses I'm building. To keep them habitable, there needs to be fuel and water so here are the fuel supply and the drinking water supply, both made from military vehicles found lying around at the airfield.
The water tank
The water tank will eventually have a series of water collecting barrels, linked to it by hoses, hence the funnel on top, which can also collect rain. The original engine still powers the pump, but a new fuel tank has been added.

The Fuel Tank
The idea is that this has had pumps and taps drilled into it so people can fill jerrycans or other containers to run their various generators. It has also had more than a few leaks repaired over the years. Scooter spends his little free time up top watching the world go by.

Going back to working on my big yellow machines next - the Recycle-o-mat and the Crusher. More to follow soon I hope.

Your stuff is too awesome man, perfectly weathered and imaginatively put together. 8) :o :-*
-
All of your stuff is just plain beautiful! I wish I had the time to copy it! :o
-
Really cool additions! I like your weathering a lot! Little hint to make it perfect. I would weather the painted windows as well. They look to bright to the rest of the Vehicles. Some brownish vertical strokes should do the job.
Cheers Delta

So much inspiration here... :-* 8) Just fantastic.

Agreed.
I just had to go back and reread your excellent Ghoul thread (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=79463.msg976443#msg976443) from last year where you explain how you achieve such wonderful rusty goodness!
Thanks for taking the time to explain it all so clearly. 8)
-
This thread keeps giving and giving :) Your creativity is astounding.
How is the vault exploration team from the other thread going?
-
Many thanks for the encouragement!
The vault team is still pretty much where I left it in the other thread.
I will return to it but I am running hot on Junktown now so I'm going to stick with it for a bit. My problem is it is now growing faster than the board on which to put it. In the words of Chief Brody from Jaws 'We're gonna need a bigger board'
-
Agreed.

Ooooh I forgot about that one, thanks for dredging it up! Still love that watertower house. :)
-
I was gonna shamelessly beg Clanmac for a tutorial or some how-to-hints, but had the good sense to run a search of his posts first... ;)
I'm a big fan of the sponge technique right now, but hairspray / salt chipping sure is pretty!
-
Best of all, you can get an even quicker version by just using the hairspray and overpainting with acrylics. Then a little bit of rubbing with a brush or sponge will get you almost the same effect, without all that salt. Worth a try.
-
:o :o awesome tread!!.
:-* :-* :-*Awesome scenery, incredible love to the detail on each of your creations.
you've become the Holy Bible of Weathering for me ;)
congrats for this spectacular tread!!!
-
Just read through this whole thread. AMAZING!
I'm particularly impressed by your larger pieces. You're combining of smaller sections into larger pieces and use of aircraft is really clever.
-
Many thanks all for the continued kind comments. Definitely fires me up to keep producing.
Back to one of my earlier Scrapyard machines. The Hughes Corporation Recycl-O-Matic. Stick junk and scrap in and one end and inside the box all of the useful components and raw materials are separated out for re-use. Of course it has had to be bodged over the years to keep it working, hence various bolt-ons including a new control unit on the roof.
Pretty happy with it although the recycl-o-matic decals did't work brilliantly, despite decal fix and varnish over the top.

Wow... The weathering on these is just perfect. Very well done.
-
That's some amazing, inspirational terrain! I feel I need to stare at each piece for a while to see all the extra wee details you've put in all your terrain pieces! o_o :-*
-
Awesome!
Do you happen to have a pre-paint picture of that? I'd love to see what bits went into it.
-
Sadly not, no. I've started taking pre-paint pics now but didn't for this one. The base of it is a Playmobil fire trailer, plus bits of an Optimus Prime transformer and lots of small resin and plastic model bits.
Basically as my kids abandon their toys, I turn them into stuff. Same story for Mr J's house.
-
Just brilliant rust.

Thanks, that actually explains quite a bit. I build my terrain the same way, but my kids are little so I get my broken toys from the thrift shop.

do you make you own decals or buy them?
-
Just stumbled upon your thread and have to express my awe for your creations :o!!! Excellent weathering and so much creativity and inspiration in this project!!!
Legionnaire.
-
I just randomly clicked on this thread and whoooahh! Stunning model building, painting and weathering. :o
-
do you make you own decals or buy them?
I tend to print my own, but I also add to them with randomly collected model decals, which have a load of useful small warning signs. Most of the decals in this thread are my own, less the US Airforce markings on Mr J's house.
-
well they look the business
-
Another thread I have missed until now. This is brilliant stuff and very inspirational :-* :-* :-*
-
The sheer amount of terrain is astonishing - everything seems to be well-thought and the rust is fantastic :)
-
Ok... NOW I'm inspired to try the hairspray/salt technique! Absolutely fabulous stuff!

This whole thread is mind blowing :o :o

And one of the smaller dwellings. Although Scooter is hanging around outside, I don't this will be his place. I need far more bits of broken machinery and gadgetry around his place.

Each of the buildings only has three sides because my plan is to build all of them into a large junk pile and container base. Three more to follow soon.
-
Great stuff as always ! So nice rust effects. But I would apply some dirt smear beneath the horizontal Adds like the electrical boxes, Ventilation coverage etc.
-
Brilliant additions!
-
...Sputter...sputter...

Just lovely. I feel inspired to give it this a go myself. :-* :-* :-*

Love them! :-*
The plane parts in the builds is inspired! 8)

Thanks again all for the kind comments...and advice. Delta dog, I've put some more staining under the vents on these ones!
This time it's a few more of the Junktown buildings, starting with the Rad Cafe (for which I need a chef by the way - any good recommendations for figures?)

I know I have said it before but that rust is amazing. If I didn't know better I would swear that it really was rust.
The detail and narative you have built into you buildings looks fantastic too, like micro-movie sets. very believable.

Fantastic stuff. Love this thread :)

That rust is top-notch! 8)
Your buildings are real gems !

WOWZERS! That is some super junk housing!!! :-* :-* The textures and build materials are perfect. I like the weathering youve packed into the metal and wood surfaces too, looks very believable to me!!!! :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Finally got a few more inhabitants of Junktown done, instead of just more buildings.
Junktown is fed by a variety of Scrappers who scour the Wasteland for any remaining tech, weaponry or other bits worth prizing out of the fingers of the dead. Sergei Belov leads one of the more effective groups, a gang of Russian-descendant Scrap Hunters (in my Fallout-esque world the conflict was between USSR and the West because there is more cool Soviet stuff out there to play with (of which, more in a moment).
Sergei leading the search through downtown, on the way to a nearby military base

Excellent work as always!

Many thanks.
Tarps are dead easy. Bandage soaked in watered down white PVC glue with some acrylic paint in, then positioned while wet. Normally need to paint on little more glue and colour once dry.

Ahh, bandage makes a lot more sense than what I was thinking (burlap) as it is thin enough for this scale. :)

Marvelous piece.

And at last, the other big scrapyard machine is finished (apart from a little soot around the exhausts which I noticed I still need to add.

For those that like the details, this is based on a Matchbox Mega Rig construction set, with a crane and loads of other goodies. Saving the vehicles that came with it for a post apocalyptic port which, on current schedule, I'll get to in about 12 years.
And a little bit of a sneak peek of the next project. I think it was Fallout Tactics that had a huge rusty locomotive in Quincy. Always stuck in my mind. Well I finally got one of my very own. I'm going to make it the heart of Junktown's power generation system, with a huge pile of greasy generator bits spilling out of its side. Wish me luck!

Pretty sure I have that matchbox set lying around somewhere myself!
Can't wait to see what you are going to do with the train, has a lot of potential I'd say.

Inspired! I've got to find some of this mega-rig stuff.

That crusher is awesome !
Re: trains
Look for dummy locomotives by Kusan. They're O-scale and because they're just hollow shells (no engine etc...) they don't cost that much.
I bought 3 (among other RR stuff) back in the days when P&P from the States only costed a kidney...

The Junktown Power Company starts to take shape. WIP. There will be LOADS more wires and the like but this is roughly the shape of things to come.

You have the best greeblies and an eye for using them. 8) 8) 8)

Yep. Expert in greeblies. Fantastic stuff.

That is sooooo cool! 8) :-*

I'm in Awe here. Are you going to have the train on a section of track?

Thanks all for the kind comments as ever. Still trying to work out how to incorporate some track into Junktown. Might have just a little bit to tie the train in.
As for greeblies, they are my favourite thing. I have boxes and boxes of stuff, just in case. Amazing what you can do with some Ork mech parts, a Patriot missile system and some Italian sci-if resin pipes!
And Zizi, now that you've shown me where to look for more trains, I'm struggling to avoid Ebay. :P :P

Wonderful thread! Absolutely inspirational ... :-*

Ah, I managed to obtain plastic tracks from an O-scale wind-up kit. Ideal for wargaming as it doesn't have the third (center) rail. Just needed some primer and paint :D
BTW : most of my RR stuff, I got from an ebaystore called trainz.

Fantastic work. Very inspiring. Could you possibly give a quick rundown on your weathering technique? Im sure many others along with myself would find that useful.

Still working on the Junktown Power Company but in the interim I finished off a couple of vehicles for Sergei's Scrap Hunters - Boris and the Safe.

It's been a while in coming, but the Junktown Power Co. is now finally finished, with the exception of a few tweaks.

i hate this thread. your work is so good and only reminds me of how little i accomplish and poorly too fantastic stuff - each piece is better than the last; can't wait to see what's next. count me envious.

Been ages since I have had the chance to get some stuff done, but another piece done at last. The light wasn't brill for these so apologies for the slightly flat nature of the photos.
This is Scooter's workshop. The place where he tinkers with all of the Junkyard's various runabouts.

So very true.
I am just a bit envious of all the wonderful cans, crates and whatnots that make your pieces so special. :-*

Many thanks all, had fun doing this one.
Mason, the cupboard is from Spartan Scenics med lab, which has a couple of other lovely pieces in it too. Link below.

Whoa! What a treasure of a thread this is! :o
All the scenic terrain pieces are absolutely fantastic, the weathering and composition of different pieces fit the bill perfectly! Do say that you even plan to game with these? :)

Thanks Pocoloco, yes I do plan to game with them, but then again I planned to have Junktown finished in 2011...
Once I have got to a stage where I can make a full Junktown I'll probably go hunting for a set of rules and some friendly wastelanders. Right now, I just can't seem to stop fiddling with the bits.
Another little piece of fun. My next two buildings are the gun shop (a converted Chinook helicopter) and the Robot shed. Not even sure what I'll build that from yet but here is one of the robots just to give you a taste of what's to come. I've got a few Brother Vinni Mr Handys and Eyebots too.

And that is the good thing for the majority of spectators right here: Keep on entertaining by showing your rusty gems, please!!!

Awesome work, the seaplane turned garage workshop is super atmospheric. Its a great way to use the less detailed toys and out of scale stuff as you can hide the bad parts with other junk ;)
Love all the little details. Especially that motorbike :-*

Guns, Guns, Guns
The latest WIP in Junktown. The Gunshop. Based in an old Chinook helicopter, the gunshop is a grossly over-stocked dumping ground for everything from rusty pipe rifles to high-tech .50 cal sniper rifles and small tactical nuclear weapons.
I'm putting this WIP up because it will force me to keep going, rather than take three months between posts. I've had this whole concept in mind for years and bought the helicopter about 3 years ago, but kept looking at it in the cupboard. Getting there at last. As ever, the final version will be covered in cables and pipes too. I've separately got a load of Spartan Scenics weapons cabinets on the go, which will go inside the main body.
There will be a big sign, of course. Just haven't worked out what to do for that yet.
Overview

This is simply outstanding! I love everything in this thread.

Looks like SIKU 1/50 Pallets
Clanmac...... Your scrapyard rocks da house man! Oh how I love to look all over that goodness here. its unbelievable how many bits you´ve hoarded to fill any piece you do with so much Details!
-
Thanks all, the encouragement keeps me churning stuff out!
For Axiom, Deltadog is right - the pallets are Siku. Bought a job lot of 50 on eBay.
-
It's so beautiful.... :o
-
Bloody brilliant stuff! :o I'll say it again.....such character! The robot alone looks like Wall-e's bad ass, bruiser brother!
-
@Deltadog & clanmac - great, thanks. I'll head off to eBay to find some :)

Okay, if you are going to show me this much good stuff in one frigging post, you knew this had to be coming. Where did you get:
- the quad runner?
- the patio table umbrella?
- the various crates?
- the propane tanks?
Please?

Outstanding thread! :-*

What a great build!
It looks like it will be great fun to paint and weather up.

Hi Sinewgrab, so answers as follows:
- Quad bike is the Airfix Afghanistan kit (you get two!)
- Patio table umbrella came from China - see ebay link - they do loads of good stuff - sun chairs and tables too.

It's great to see a work in progress photographs. It makes me realise just how much work goes into one of your models. It's not just the great skill you show with your painting, it's the amount of time you must have spent sourcing the materials. Tell me, do you have boxes full of bits and bobs and just rummage through to see what looks right, or do you make sketches and plans before hand?
-
Brilliant!
Where is the copter from?
Really looking forward to seeing how this shapes up.
-
Excellent! That's going to be a big mushroom cloud if all that arsenal blows up! :D
Can't wait to see it all painted! 8)

Thanks again all - having fun with this one - Rob, I have a ridiculous amount of bits. Pics below show the 'small parts' selection. I have about another five boxes worth of bigger bits. I am a terrible bits hoarder and can't help buying sets of boxes and crates whenever I see them. As for how things get built, I tend to just grab a load of interesting bits and keep playing with them until something emerges. I normally have a rough idea in mind of the end result but I am not in the same league as those who carefully plan things. I've seen those sketches and admire them, but I can't do it myself!
Eilif, the copter is an Italeria 1/48 model. Had no rotor blades so I got it extra cheap on ebay. Again I often look out for part finished or damaged models as they go cheap and have loads of good bits in them.

A 'not particularly impressive' update, but getting there. Now finished the base model and the extras, including a few stand alone heavy weapons for sale, some more junk to nest the helicopter in and some weapons work benches. Also added gas pipes and electricity cables. Everything also now has it's base 'rust coat' which almost certainly makes these pics harder to see, but some update is better than nothing I guess...

Speechless. You should market this as a kit...
-
'not particularly impressive' he says! Bloody marvellous.

Very cool to see the mid-process paint pictures. Helps to get an idea of how you put your stuff together.
Your copter got me really inspired. I went digging in my box-o-stuff and found a Micro Machines transport helicopter that actually scales great with 28mm. Now I've just got to decided whether to make it a post-apoc terrain piece or paint it up for action in my Mech Attack games.

A weekend and a few late nights, plus an understanding if slightly bemused family have let me get the Gunshop finished. Like a couple of my recent projects, it's now testing my ability to get things photographed on my 'too small' scenic board. I tend to build things out of loose bits, but this one has tested my ability to keep track of all the stuff.
Anyway, on with the photos....

Bloody marvellous!! :o
-
:-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
Most excellent! :-* :-*
All of your what next options sound great so no matter in what order they will be, I'm sure we are going to be treated with top notch coolness once again :)
-
Outstanding.
-
:o :o
That is outstanding!
-
I can only echo what others have said. The attention to detail is astounding and it is amazingly well stocked!
-
Not sure if you have enough guns though... ;D
I love all of it, the workbenches in particular. Good choice on the colour there.
-
:o I wish I could paint terrain like this.
Amazing work! Love it! :-*
-
Lovely :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
Bravo, sir. Well done.
The workbenches are from one of the railroader sites you mentioned earlier?
-
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, those are a LOT of bits! Absolutely stunning and super convincing as a PA weapon's trader and tinkerer. Must be a blast to do some games with this one 8)
-
This is so damn GREAT! :-* :-*
-
Many thanks all for the kind comments. I got quite carried away doing this and couldn't stop adding stuff - maybe why I enjoyed it so much.
Bravo, sir. Well done.

The benches are made from bits. The tops are actually Antenociti computer screens (hence the random buttons) put on top of Fenris Games weapons crates with a WWII vehicle radio, a GW Skitarii back-pack, GW vehicle weapon mount (the vice) and some parts from a Forge World articulated robot arm. I added a wire to a needle at the end of the arm to make it look like a drill.

Man that are really awesome bananas!!! You really take me under pressure for 2017^^

.....sorry, I mean that's perfect! Wow! Even down to the colour of the workbenches! :o
-
Wow! That's fantastic!
-
That is laugh-out-loud great. One of the best PA terrain pieces I've ever seen. Thanks.
-
everything about that is amazing!
-
Absolutely lovely! :-* More!
-
I spotted your masterpiece on C.M.o.N. a little while ago. It is an INSPIRED creation, a WONDERFUL example of what skill. artistry, & imagination can produce. VERY WELL DONE indeed!
-
That is superb- the attention to detail really makes it- stuff like the cheap guns sign.
-
Looks like a film set. Inspirational stuff.
-
Jaw dropping. I'm in awe :o :o :o
-
Is beautiful the right word for this?
I don't care if it is or not, I'm using it.
Beautiful!! :o :o

My dream was always to be the owner of a scrapyard with garage and petrol station, sitting in a rocking chair, sun on my face, chilled drink in hand, selling stuff cheaply to those I like, astronomically expensive to those I don´t like and not at all to the rest... :D
This looks perfectly like my idea of that!
-
This thread is a blast. Love it.
-
sheer genius! love it :-*
-
What weathering technique do you use?
Masking? Sponging?
-
Thanks all for the great comments - really encouraging for doing more!
What weathering technique do you use?
Masking? Sponging?
Nedius, I use salt and hairspray. I find it's hard to beat for bigger models. Technique explained here:

Been working on a few vehicles for my Scrap Hunters. Some re-purposed toys here plus a Company B Dingo and an Anvil Industries Cobra APC.
The Cobra is almost straight out of the box because there is so much detail it doesn't need much work. Just changed the wheels for some from Zinge (and some hubcaps from no idea where).
(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4449/23686959658_5ae811db26_b.jpg)
I've 'wastelanded' the Dingo a bit more and I have lots of stowage to go on this.
(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4462/37280751820_608791b7d1_b.jpg)
This is an old Matchbox Adventure 2000 vehicle, inspired by Zaheer's great thread on the workbench.

Clanmac, everything you do is stunningly brilliant! I am in awe of your talent and skills!
-
Looking forward to see how these turn out. Great builds so far.
-
Those vehicles are amazing. I love the motorcycle on the back -- I'll have to steal that.
-
More fantastic work. I just love the weathering and distressing you've achieved on the scenics.
-
A couple more WIPs. Sometimes I get stuck in 'make' not 'paint' mode.
These are a few random scatterables - generators, fuel tanks etc.
And many thanks to Sangennaru for the tip on using solder for cables - so much better.

Great work, all of it! :-*

Nice additions to your table! :-*
-
I've somehow missed this entire thread and its absolutely brilliant! I love everything here - really looking forward to seeing the adventure 2000 vehicle finished. Ace.
-
There is some amazing stuff here. That repurposed train car is a perfect generator and the yellow salvage truck is a real treat.
-
This is DEFINITELY one of my favorite threads!!!...The work and ideas are FANTASTIC!! :-* :-* :-*
-
Great stuff, very inspirational! I look forward to seeing what you make next!!
-
OMG, that Matchbox Adventure 2000 vehicle is AMAZING, the bike is a very nice touch! :o
-
What subject! A lot of inspiration.
merci!
-
Finally got some stuff done instead of just looking at it then wandering off.
Some of the scatterable are now painted, plus one of the Scrap Hunters' vehicles. The other two I showed as WIPs are nearly there.
Miscellaneous fuel tanks first - with Scooter ready to keep them from exploding

Wow :-*
Spectacular weathering effects on those containers. Lovely job 8)
-
If I've done one good thing on the forum it's to get you to work on that Matchbox car. The excellence continues!
-
Thanks CB and thanks also Zaheer - the Adventure 2000 wagon is ALMOST done. Just need to do the windscreen, which is giving me a headache!
-
Have you a good tutorial you used to develop these effects??
Thanks!!
-
Fantastic! The builds for those tanks and the generator looked cool but the weathered paint treatment made them outstanding.
-
This is truly outstanding work! Not just the rust, but also the conversions! I love the amount of detail you put into your work! :-*
-
Many thanks all for the very kind comments
Have you a good tutorial you used to develop these effects??
Thanks!!
Nedius, I'll do a tutorial for the next thing I do - promise. Just got to work out what it is!
-
Really IMPRESSIVE, CONGRATULATIONS! ;)
-
I am in awe of everything you do. :o Clanmac, you are the Master!

So, back to the Adventure 2000 WIP.
Taking photos while relying on UK weather to provide the light is always a bit hit and miss. A miss today I think and so you'll have to imagine the blazing wasteland sun, with a little help from Photoshop, which makes the colours quite random.
The Vaultec Explorer. A civilian version sold for the private market to very wealthy clients. A few versions are still occasionally found having made it out of their vaults and then fallen into the hands of someone with bigger guns. In this case this one is in the hands of one of the many Junktown Scrap Hunter crews.

Great vehicle, I like the stowed bike idea.

AWESOME! :-*
Please don't take so long to amuse us with those GREAT pieces!
WARNING: PA gaming with this kind of terrain can be addictive! ;)

:o :o :o
I've been spitting insults to my screen for the last minutes. Envy is corroding me :D :D
Seriously, top notch work here, truly awesome.

clanmac, it's a VERY NICE vehicle, but when I read the thread's title I was expecting a 4-LEGGED AUSSIE WILD DOG! lol
(http://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/46b7dcb6749c8dc8d8b0b8dcb5d6e7e3)

That's a brilliant vehicle :-*

I thought the bulldog was super but this dingo is truly amazing! Only thing it needs is some lights unless post apoc is 24hr daylight.
-
Another very long gap but at last I've added a few more inhabitants for Junktown. Work life is destroying my painting life.
I've being trying a few tricks from Opponenttheory's awesome tutorials. Not in his league but I'm getting them hang of some of them.
This is the Junktown Militia. I was experimenting with 'blend in bases' and I'm quite happy with them. Figures are from Spectre Miniatures and I have oh so many more to go.

Thanks! I'm looking for something similar, so this is inspirational!

Interesting basing, fits nicely with the terrain.
Nice paint work on the militia.

Just a small update after yet another long gap - just to show something is still happening.
I wanted to have a go at the Fallout 4 Wind Turbines. Ludicrous things, but I love them. WIP pics below.

Cracking stuff all round 8)
cheers
James
-
Another cracking little build.
8) 8)
And you have reminded me again that I want a tuk-tuk.
And I still have no idea why....
>:D ::) ;)
-
The wind turbine is great, good choice of height, you should be able to do the Raiders of the Lost Ark bit with the blades.
-
Great modelling 8)
-
Cracking! Great use of those Lego jets. Might have to try that myself.
-
Your painting of rusted,corroded, and worn stuff is superb! The detail is excellent and the affect is very realistic. A fine goal to shot toward!!!
Can't wait to see the finished turbine.

Just had this thread completely stuffed by those nice people at Photobucket!
Switched to Flickr and will try and upload the previous pics over time - gutted.
Anyway, on with the WIPs - a few more Junktown dwellings about to go under the spray can.

What did you use to make them?

Thanks Mason, they are based on Matchbox Superkings 'Gentransco' ISO containers, plus the usual load of guff from my bits box.

Much appreciated.

And I sympathise with you on the photobucket thing as all my threads have now gone the way of the dodo too.

That is good.

Nice add-ons! Photobucket seem to have fluffed a LOT of people up!

Another long delay, a new photo host and about two tubes of glue later, another WIP. This is the Bot Shop, Junktown's finest purveyor of industrial, combat and domestic robots. The Bot Shop has become No1 by constantly tracking the wasteland for signals of robotic activity, messily achieved by a dangerously wired mass of electronic interceptors.
As time has passed since the war, the pile of discarded bits from salvaged bots has grown, almost burying the shop under its own junk.
As ever, I've had some real fun building this one. Like the Gunshop, it's been lurking the back of my mind and it's good to finally make it real. Been saving some of those bits for years.
So to the WIPs

The sheer amount of prime quality bits thrown together here :o how do you keep digging them up man.
As always you are the master of the junkyard, but man this might be my favourite!
The only critique I can level is that I think the whole load of receivers up top should have a LOT more wires and cables going to and fro. Might be thinking that cause I watched ghost in the shell last night.

The only critique I can level is that I think the whole load of receivers up top should have a LOT more wires and cables going to and fro. Might be thinking that cause I watched ghost in the shell last night.
Yep, you are dead right YPU. There are a few, but when I took the photos I realised they are lost in the noise - I need to add way more before I throw the paint on. Thank you.
-
Excellent.
You can spend hours identifying the bits.
-
Absolutely incredible, I love it!
-
Thanks all.
UVS, yep, looking for bits is always part of the fun when I look at other people's scratch builds. Happy to play the guessing game - everything from GW, to Mantic, through to Raging Heroes in there somewhere, with some Brother Vinni on the way.
For YPU, getting closer on the wires?

Oh man, this is truly delicious. :-* :-* 8)
-
:o :o :o
That is awesome !
-
Definitely! Personally, I would try to have some variety in the size of them, have a couple which slapdash go from one size to the other and have a few of them dangling with the ends loose to suggest that some parts might not even be plugged in anymore over the many iterations. I mean this is already a lot better than any of my work, but while we are giving pointers. :D
Oh and are those lego levers on the top of the copter? :`
-
Stunning! Just mind-boggling stunning! :o :o :o :o :o
-
Boy, just what we need, more junk on LAF. ;)
I love it all, :-* really very cool.
-
Wow, just WOW. Great idea to reduce spare bits but i have a feeling it's probably nothing for yours. I don't even think I have that many to begin with. I can't wait to see it painted.
-
Unbelievable good. :o
You are truly the master of scrounging bits and using them in highly imaginable ways.
-
All the right junk, in all the right places ;)
-
I'm really impressed by what you built. :o
-
Blimey! That's impressive!
-
Superb!
-
:-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
That's a lot of junk in the trunk! :o :o :o
Are the resin bits 'n' pieces miscasts? That's a lot of money on a scrap pile! :o
I've got to say though, that's one of the best terrain pieces I've seen in a loooong while! :-*
-
Brilliant! :o
-
Good grief - how absolutely brilliant.

I agree.
Oh, yes, I certainly do.

Cant wait to see it all painted up.....and glad that I dont have to do it!
:o :o ;)
-
What a vista, very inspirational. That's easily quadruple the junk I saved up for my robot shop!
-
Sweet sodding Christ...And i thought i had a deep bits box! it looks amazing! :-*
-
:o :o :o :-* :-* :-*
Let me check my dictionary, I don't think the words I need are already invented.
-
Eyecandy at its Best. Cant wait to see it painted. Please at some nice lightning effects at the shopsign and in the bits crowd. Would be a nice touch for this Beauty!
-
Absolutely fantastic work, just love it! :-*
Can't imagine how long you'd need to get this all painted, but I'm sure you'll end up with another piece of marvelous terrain!
-
Stunning, like something out of a movie set :-*

Thanks all for the really kind comments - really appreciate the encouragement. Now I have started painting it I've realised it's kinda mad isn't it?

Andy, the shocking news is most of it is bought specifically to be junk. I'm one of those people who buys perfect models and then turns them into wrecks. That said, I tend to watch eBay like a hawk to pick up scraps and sprues as well. Between this and a couple of previous models there are about two full (new) Ork Killa Kans for example, but I got them for about £5.
I've now done the first round of rusty paint work so will try and post a few WIPs this weekend, just to keep the pot boiling.
-
:o :o :o that is beautiful work
-
Very quick update - a few progress shots from the work bench. Plenty still to do but just to show I am actually managing to get some paint on it!

I'm sure that there is a 'knack' to doing this stuff - but I'm very impressed at how you can get a great look so quickly, even if by your account you are just getting started.
-
You have a very different method than I, by the looks of it. You have all that stuff glued down before painting it? It sure looks fantastic.
-
Wow!
And you have only started?
-
I think I have run out of praising words to use. So you will get an. This is really really anoyingly well done.

But great to see your approach as it will be most useful when I have to paint piles of crap in future.

Wow!

RIGHT?! his 'starting' is my 'hey that's pretty good'.

Flipping unbelievable amount of stuff in the scene! :o
How on earth do you begin painting that base, I'd get anxious not knowing where to start and never finish o_o
Wonderful gaming setup mate! 8)

Nice work committing perfectly good models to make such a wonderful scrap scene. I don't think I could bring myself to the same; I would constantly agonize over it.
-
I know! Me too, the $$ in those brother vinnie robots alone would make me question the sanity of turning them into a scrap diorama. o_o

A few finished pics of the Bot Shop. Not great light - was rushing before the sun went down so these are only overview pics. I'll try and get some better detail shots tomorrow, Still, you get the idea - it's a junk pile.

I really want my band of adventures to visit ..... just simply floored by your work and imagination .

Sweet!

So good, this thread is fantastic. Mind if I ask a question from some earlier stuff? How do you model the tarps covering some of the bits?
-
Magnificient! Do you mind to divulge the source of the heavy handling bot?

Hi Swaelg. the Heavy Handling Bot is from Titan Forge (link below). I replaced the original head with one from a Tau Battlesuit and left off some of the weaponry.

Jagannath, the tarps are just bandage soaked in white PVC glue and then painted. Apparently wet wipes are even better - will try then on the next model.
On the bot shop I have also now used thin metal sheet. The tarps on the roof are metal.
-
Excellent - thank you. Wet wipes eh? I wonder if they'd be better 'baked' to dry them out first (then rewetted with watery PVA). One to try!
Thanks for the extra pics, all looks so good!
-
Yep, apparently you do just what you said - dry first, then re-wet with PVA.
-
Very good.
-
One heck of a model and excellent work!
The only thing that seems out of place to me is that the oriental rug seems too clean. But it is a nice touch!!!
Terry
-
That is one sweet scene. Very believable, looks lived in and well-used.
I didn't catch any info on the shelves- are those scratch builds? They look ace.
-
Wonderful model. So many small details to spot, very inspirational!
-
A masterpiece full of scrap.

Thanks again all for the continuing encouragement. Now need to work out which project to do next. I still have a few WIP container houses to finish but after that, the world is my rusty oyster.
That is one sweet scene. Very believable, looks lived in and well-used.

For Dr M, the shelves are nice aren't they? Laser cut card from the guys below. A little fiddly, but recommended. The drawers and shelf unit on the left in the shelf pic are scratch built from bits.

Wow, your work keeps getting better and better!
With the amount of evocative details you put in, I think you're really straddling the line between wargames scenery and vignette/diarama.
Spectacular.

Fiddling around with the next few Junktown shops. Here's a few bits of stock for the clothing and armour seller. Particularly pleased with the way the shelf full of respirators turned out (they are mostly heads trimmed down with some card straps added).

Thanks all for the kind comments. King Arthur, I am gradually working back through the thread, re-uploading the images. I'm now on Flickr. Hopefully you'll get a chance to see the old stuff soon enough!

Next WIP pics. As those of you who follow this thread will know, sometimes I just make stuff, even if I have made more than enough of that stuff already. In this case I'm talking about generators. I just love making generators. They feel like the ultimate post apoc accessory. So I've made a couple more...even though I didn't need to.
You may also notice that I tend to make knackered things by taking perfectly good things and knackering them. These were made from the GW Galvanic Servo-haulers. Who needs a brand new quasi-gothic-tractor-thing when you can have a beat-up ol' generator.
The pics...

Beat up old generator for the win! ;) :-*
Seriously good work retasking those GW bits! Did you buy them with that intention for generators or did you get them for another reason?
-
I'm not sure if I should be mad at you for being so amazing, or me for not seeing this thread sooner! lol
Fantastic work here and I for one can't wait to see more!

Those generators are cracking.
These kind of things always look just 'right' for a PA setting, you are spot on with that one.

Bought specifically to beat-up. I'm a 'see-the-broken-old-wreck-in-everything' kinda guy!
And UVS, too right, no skulls. I'm still trying to get the gothic churchy bits off the damn crane.

A very inspirational thread! Great work. Good luck with the gw crane.

Love that!

That generator's fanastic. I've got an old 1/48 tractor I bought donkeys ago that *suddenly* I've got an idea for!
That's just about my thought as well. I can think of a couple of toy tractors I passed up at the resale shop. Really wish I'd bought them now!

Fantastic work as always! :-*

AWESOME work! And that Teddy Bear is a PRICELESS touch! :-*

A few more little bits for my Junktown Clothing store. Just playing around with things really.

Fantastic updates! The generator in particular is amazing.

The shop fittings are excellent.
So what will the store look like?

nice

Your bits box must be a thing of wonder.
The clothes store like the rest of your creatons looks amazing.

You've gone completleuts with the superdetailing, there. Wonderful.

Really nice stuff. The market rags are awesome. Looking forward to see them painted.

Amazing work on the detail :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
I can't believe you drill out full sets of power armour just for some detail in a shop?
Are the powered armour figures not expensive?
-
So...this one is getting a little out of hand I think. I had this idea of stacked executive jets as a building (left overs from the post nuclear rich folk exodus), and I was also lacking inspiration for the clothing and armour store, so I kinda ended up here.

(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4455/26299085249_d0acc086be_b.jpg)
Still very much WIP, but you get the idea. The jets are really supposed to be the accommodation above the shop. There will be more walkways and the like and I'm heading for a ridiculous white picket fence around the platform, fallout settlement style. I will probably use the space underneath the aircraft to make an armour workshop, with some workbenches and power armour junk lying around.
Whaddaya think?
-
It might be out of hand, but I love it! Your post-apoc town is the best town.
-
Amazing work on the detail :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
I can't believe you drill out full sets of power armour just for some detail in a shop?
Are the powered armour figures not expensive?
Sorry GM, missed the question. No, I picked up some spare bits with some fairly average resin figures, so I used them for the power armour. No real loss.
-
Great idea :)
-
That's looking great. You've created an interesting space to game in too!
-
It might be out of hand, but I love it! Your post-apoc town is the best town.
Agreed! Great work again Mac! :-*
-
Excellent, suitably over the top.
I love the details, who makes the barbeque set?
I look forward to seeing it painted.
-
You're supposed to inspire us, not be so damned good we quit in a fit of pique! Seriously amazing work mate.
-
fabulous work there....each build gets more amazing than the last!
-
Really great - this is such a fantastic project.
-
Those Jets are amazing. What kits are they?
I just got a Disney Planes "Sidely" corporate jet toy that looks very similar in shape and size and you're giving me ideas.
I have to say I like the lightly over-the-top character that your work is taking. Somehow you manage to keep things gritty and feeling realistic while incorporating such fanciful ideas of buildings made from stacks of Jets and train engine generators. In most other hands it would feel slightly fantasy, but you really make it work.
Carry on!
-
A quickie update.
Started to get some shape on the armour workstation now and I couldn't resist adding picket fences to the Jet stack house. Some things just call out to be done.

Final pre-painting version of the clothing and armour store (ahh.. just realised I need a sign for it!) with things placed moreorless as they will be in the final version.
Also had a bit of fun with a left over jet engine.

I just got a Disney Planes "Sidely" corporate jet toy that looks very similar in shape and size and you're giving me ideas.
I have to say I like the lightly over-the-top character that your work is taking. Somehow you manage to keep things gritty and feeling realistic while incorporating such fanciful ideas of buildings made from stacks of Jets and train engine generators. In most other hands it would feel slightly fantasy, but you really make it work.
Carry on!
Hi eilif, just realised I hadn't answered your question - the jets are Revell and Hasegawa Cessna Citations in 1/48 scale

Imagination 10/10
Detail 10/10
Can't wait to see this painted.

:o
Either this is brilliant or crazy. Maybe a mixture of both. Fantastic work!
The details are breathtaking. :-*

I love this. Is the jet engine a way of making a forge?

Many thanks Mason - it's artistic licence really, as planes don't rust like that. They just kind of go grey and brittle, but I tried that once and it's just not as satisfying. So rust it is and science be damned.

Wow. This one goes into the catalog of the most original and beautifully executed terrain pieces on LAF.

And just to finish off, a little mood lighting.
I have been playing with O scale railway lighting kits to see what I can do with them. I always loved the distant lights across a ruined city in Fallout 4 so I am trying to creating something similar.

Is it about time we get to see a full setup of the entire settlement. You must have enough for a breathtakingly awesome setup by now.

this is really outstanding work :-*

Simply superb work Sir.

Now you're just showing off ;)
Seriously though, that's a fantastic set and the lighting effects are very atmospheric. Looking forward to some group shots of all the buildings so far ;)

There really aren't any words that can do justice to how fantastic your imagination and execution is.
In awe, G-Donk.

Many thanks all for the very generous comments - glad you are enjoying my post apoc madness.

Dr Z (and Dr M), you are right. I should get the whole thing out. The problem is I lack a base board bigger than 1.5ft square to put it all on. I think that needs to be my next major project, before I build any other large scale plane based nonsense. I keep thinking about it, but then get distracted and make new stuff. I have a few little bits to finish off and then I'll get on with the base board!!
-
Brilliant work on the construction and lighting.
So rust it is and science be damned.
A thousand times this.
I think I said something to this before, but your work has a thread of whimsy and imagination that elevates it and sets it apart. Don't water that down by bowing to realism and keep up the great work.

Just a quickie - a couple of shots of the finished improvised generators from page 25. The transformation from WH40K Galvanic (?) servo-hauler to rusty ol' chugger is complete, and not a skull in sight.

Hi all,
Been quiet for a bit as work ruled all but it's Xmas, so my head is above the water and my hand has reached for the scalpel and glue.
I have now got a base board to try and tie all this Junktown stuff together, but the weather here is so lousy I won't get a chance to do much on it yet so I've started something else - the Junktown main gate.
I'm showing it as a fairly early WIP, before I have gone mad with the bits box, just to give a sense of it. It's bound to change a bit as it develops.
The concept of the whole of Junktown is a small reserve airfield/airforce base that picked up waifs and strays in the years after the war. The main gate is built around the original base guard room and it's sentry gun. The vehicle on the right will be buried under stuff, making it a fixed emplacement (can't get the spares!). The Hind will have the sign 'Welcome to Junktown' along its tail and body, once the first bit of painting is done.
Pics...

Is that the Plasticville radio station you're using for the guardhouse? I may have to steal that idea - I couldn't figure out how I wanted to work with that piece...

Now that looks cool! Reminds me of a great picture or to I found on Google when I was seeking pictures for the gate I am planning for my post apoc survivor army.
Can't wait to see it painted!!!!

Every single new pic takes this to another level. Wow :o

Wonderful.
As usual...
:-* :-*
Your bits hoarding is worse than mine, which makes me feel so much more justified in getting more.
:D
BTW: Where is that air con unit on the guard house from?
I feel that I should recognise it but it is escaping me at the moment...

Many thanks for the kind comments all. In answer to questions various:

The aircon unit is from the Scene. Shameless plug for their stuff - it's wonderful and very reasonably priced. Link below
http://thesceneuk.com/shop/buildings/building-accessories/ac03/ (http://thesceneuk.com/shop/buildings/building-accessories/ac03/)
And as for bits-hoarding, it's not a hobby it's a way of life. I now spend more money on bits than anything else I think. There's probably a counselling course...
It was the generator on the pallet, powering the defensive point I was going to ask about?
The generator is from TT Combat - also lovely. Minor bit of work to de-eagle'n'skull it but a very cool piece and you get 4 in a set. Now I've used one of the 4 I'll almost certainly have to get another set, just in case I run out (see counselling above). Link below

Is that the Plasticville radio station you're using for the guardhouse? I may have to steal that idea - I couldn't figure out how I wanted to work with that piece...
Yes - that is the Plasticville Radio Station. It always looked like a Guardroom to me but I hadn't worked out how to use it - DA NAH!
And so, on to the final result of bits-pimping. Stand-by. It's a bit of a pic overload.

Wonderfull build as always Clanmac! But I really miss a certain amount of barbed wire. That would fit perfect to the scene imo

Yep, it's a very good point. Will have to add it at the end though as it always makes painting a real pain.

This is coming out exceptionally well.

And 'Thank You' for the tip-off with the AC units, that is a great source.

Fantastic! I even spotted some CD ammo boxes in there. I’ve got some air con units and junction boxes out on 01 Jan that might be useful for you too.

Oh there are a few CD bits from my latest order tucked away in here. I've just added some of your CCTV cameras in too, and rest assured, if you dangle junction boxes in front of me, my wallet won't be far behind. Just looking for an excuse to expand an order beyond your scooter gang, as I need a couple of scooters knocking around Junktown.

Glad to see the Pardulon stuff coming back - I had to make some molds for my own use when I couldn't get the pieces anymore, and it will be good to get a decent casting again.

Nice additions

A couple of people asked about a walkthrough on the rust technique. While I did one some time ago, Photobucket killed it off I think so I am going to have another go, using a couple of bits from the Junktown Main Gate - the containers and the Hind.
First couple of steps
An overall spray using brown car paint. Cheap and effective. On top of that goes a light overspray of black or dark brown to give variation. Dead easy and yet can look quite effective. I'm sure if I had an airbrush I could get slicker but you'd be surprised how much you can do with a couple of cheap spray cans.
Then a quick spray of cheap hairspray and a smattering of salt for heavily rusted areas. So we get...

(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4732/39431336952_dfb4c5793a_b.jpg)
Then I block in the colours for the main areas. Don't have to be too accurate or consistent here. In fact if the paint varies in thickness it actually helps as it adds to the worn feel at the end.

(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4725/25590699148_2effcb2a94_b.jpg)
Then apply a little water and some gentle brushing off with a tooth brush. And without too much work the basic rust effects are already in place.

Thanks for this!
Looking forward to your next steps. I've been wondering how you do your rust for a while now.
-
Great tutorial, think I've heard hairspray used for rust effects before but now I finally understand the method! Is the brown car primer significantly cheaper than miniature primers?
-
I just caught up with this thread and stay amazed with what can be achieved with skill and imagination!
And it is obvious that you have plenty of both! Many congrats!
-

It's about £5 for a can, which goes a fairly long way as they are quite large by comparison with your average tin of Humbrol. I'd probably use it anyway though because the colours work so well. Link below.

I tend to do a full coat of this stuff and then a very light overspray of black.

Nice tutorial but an aluminium skinned helicopter is probably not the best exemplar of rust techniques, save for the engine components and gun tubes. Even the internal spars were aluminium. The rotor blades, rotor head and internal armoured tub were made out of titanium and whilst titanium does corrode it doesn't really look like typical ferrous rust.

Yeah, I know, but I tried aluminium weathering on a Dakota (below) and it just wasn’t close to being as satisfying, so ever since I’ve rusted all my planes and science be damned. I’m pushing artistic licence on this one.

Great tutorial, think I've heard hairspray used for rust effects before but now I finally understand the method! Is the brown car primer significantly cheaper than miniature primers?
I'm not in the UK, but here in the States, you can generally get twice as much spray paint (or more) for half the price of model spray paint cans. That is to say about 4x more for your money. Camo colors, primers in grey white and rudy brown, etc are all avaialble for about $4 a can and you can often find store brand black and white for a buck a can.
-
Great tutorial indeed and fantastic results
-
Absolutly fantastic topic !
-
It all looks amazing. What a brilliant bunch of postings. The lighting is great it is super atmospheric. I really must have a crack at adding some to my terrain.
-
Great tutorial again, clanmac, thanks for that. I'm just wondering, when you block in the main colours after hairspray treatment, are you using water based paint? Will they not immediately dissolve the hairspray? Or ar you using solvent ones like Humbrol?

I'm using Acrylics so in theory they do have a go at the hairspray, but it doesn't seem to cause an issue. I tend not to dwell on that paint job or over-brush too much. I just slop it on, so maybe it doesn't get time to work before it dries. Ironically the real challenge comes with the next stage of the process (photos coming soon - almost done) when I apply an oil based wash and it can attack the original undercoat when it shows through if I work it too hard.
-
Thanks for the link clanmac! I'll have a look at that primer for the scenery I never get round to painting, might make it easier to get started.
-
So, eventually we get to the next stages - the joy of having a weekend with not many commitments.
To recap, I'd got to a post-hairspray and salt stage, where some rust was showing through the paint job. What we now need to do is blend the colours a little better, get some dirt and grit into the various rusty holes and have some rust streaks. First I need to add any decals and in the case of the Hind I need to add the Junktown sign. For decals I tend to put them on then varnish over the top of them. If I don't, the next stages get under the decals.
Oh, and for uti long smile, keep an eye out for your Crooked Dice cctv cameras ;).

(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4728/27768188839_caa9d92e66_b.jpg)
You'll notice everything is still looking a bit 'bright' so the next stage is to cover the whole model in a wash - I use MiG Brown wash for this.
Leaves everything looking gritty and mucky.

(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4738/25673794448_05f18e8316_b.jpg)
Once the wash has had the chance to dry I then start to strip it off again, leaving it in recesses. it also nicely hangs around the 'pock marks' left by the salt. I remove it by running a thinner-damped brush over it and then wiping it on a tissue. This is the bit where you need to be careful where the undercoat comes through. it won't harm the acrylic top coat but it can lift the undercoat if you brush too hard. The best thing about this technique is that it lifts the underlying colour back to it's original, but leaves a dirty film around the edges, so you don't get that overall 'dulling down of colour' you can get with some washes or with things like quick shade.

The time to add rust streaks, which add another welcome dash of colour. I use these.
(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4638/38835317724_359a9678b8_b.jpg)
Apply a small streak running from a rust patch and then extend it and blend it in with a wet brush. So you get...

I also tend to throw a coat of matt varnish on the inside of any glass to give it that grimy and uncared for look. It also makes light look better if I add interior lighting - which I hope to on this one.

And lastly I use weathering powder to add that very matt gritty rust to the brown rust-coloured panels and around things like bolts and supports.

And that's it pretty much done. I'm still learning and playing, particularly with the oils but I think I've got a rhythm now.
I need to finish the other bits and bring the whole gate together but as a taster , here are a few of the other bits, also demonstrating the technique.

Have to ask who makes that mini?
He's a MENA civilian from Spectre Miniatures. Awesome isn't he. I've been holding off on painting him because he looks so good in my 'WIP' shots. Link below.

Fantastic!

Thanks all, it's been fun to do this one. Pretty much finished now so here is the whole thing together. Still got to think about adding some barbed wire Delta Dog, but I may have to come back to that later! I also have a couple of large spot lights to add, but again I may take a little breather before I add those.
I've got it being manned by my Junk Town Militia but I intend to have a much heavier crew guarding it, based on Lead Adventure Miniatures very own Road Guards and Street Judges. Pics...

Looking really great! Awesome! Congrats!

Very nice.

Thats stunning! Job well done look forward to seeing the regular guards on duty.

I have been very anxious to see this gate progress, and it has been well worth waiting for. Your work is truly impressive, exceptionally creative and remarkable attention to detail! A true pleasure to see.

Okay, now that is stunning. I am going to have to go cry in my beer.
Well done!

Thanks all for the great comments. Andy, no because I can't fit it on anything. I have now got the material to build a proper base board but I need some decent weather - haven't got the space indoors to make it.

Wow! Every texture looks so unique and realistic. Absolutely stunning.

Do you have ideas what your going for? What size is it going to be? Is it just going to be flat or are you building in hills/valleys/rivers/etc in to it?
-
You can stop being amazing any time you want, you know.
Just kidding, keep it up!
-
So good!
-
I'll come back when I'll find a proper word for your work on this project.

A question on your technique. So you lay down some salt on top of the hair spray and let dry. I assume you then brush on your colors. Do you have trouble with the the paint and brush knocking of the salt?
Just curious?
Joey

amazing work :o

Hi all,
Thank you for the great comments - really encourages me to keep the rusty madness going.
Do you have ideas what your going for? What size is it going to be? Is it just going to be flat or are you building in hills/valleys/rivers/etc in to it?
Andy I do have plan, albeit a sketchy one. I want a portion of scrap wall made up of old aircraft bits, a bit like the old Megaton in Fallout 3. Behind it a flat area for the Junk Yard, with my various recycling machines and junk piles, and then Junk Town itself on a hill, probably slightly amphitheatre style so it builds up around a central 'low bit'. My inspiration is in here a little but, but with much more junk on the hill itself.

Hi Joey - in a word ‘yes’. Some falls off or moves around a bit but never enough to stop the effect working. And it takes more than one or two brush stokes to wipe off the hairspray itself so that will still lift the paint even if the salt has dropped off.

A few small bits to keep me ticking over.
For those who were wondering how all this stuff gets stacked so neatly in Junk Town...

I'm going to add a proper chain and grapply bit in due course, once I have done the base paint job.
Also made another pile of scavenged material - the life blood of Junk Town

Not nonsense at all - bits is one of my favourite subjects. Have a look back at page 12 on this thread and you'll get a feel for my mania. I tend to scour ebay for cheap bits, stowage, half finished models etc to feed my bits boxes. That and some strategically placed purchases to Crooked Dice, TT Combat, Antenoceti and a few other fine purveyors of boxes, bags and wasteland essentials.

As I cought your thread from p. 30 I now understand that you have answered a similar question many times... I looked back at p. 12 :o you are a really one-of-a kind bits hoarder! (a bit-maniac? lol ) You have two eyes for artistry and one of them is very keen ;) You can turn scrap to eye candy! What more to say?

I've just started painting some LAM Street Judges as my Guard Force for Junk Town. The idea is that the guards are the very heavily armed rock on which most of Junk Town's would-be attackers break.
The figures themselves are perfect - armed and body-armoured to the eyes. They couldn't run anywhere fast but they can soak up and dish out punishment. So... I wanted a couple of vehicles to go with them, just to get around the perimeter junk wall but also to burn, batter and drag away anything that tried to get over the walls. And so I've made Thing 1 and Thing 2, the Guard Force's Quick Reaction Force vehicles. The idea is that they are up-armoured construction vehicles of some kind, so they have a lot of pushing power. I guess it goes without saying they will be battered, burnt and rusty, as befits a vehicle that fights deathclaws, raiders and self-destructing bots.
Vehicles are Ramshackle Rheboks, with an Old Crow turret plus the usual little additions.

This is all so overwhelming... most would be happy with just a fraction of pieces you've finished! Crane on last page is a nice addition.
I'd like to know where did you get that Old Crow turret?

I've had it for years. When Old Crow was still in regular business I spent quite bit of money with them so I have a stash of Old Crow vehicles and bits I can draw on in times of need!
Rumour has it Jez (Old Crow's owner) occasionally still makes pieces if you ask. I asked him a few years ago for a load of vehicles and although it took a little while, he did send me some lovely stuff. May still be worth a try - email is sales@oldcrowmodels.co.uk

Very nice kit.

Nice work.
Those Rheboks really look the business in those pictures.

your masterfull use of bits seems to get just that bit more out of every model and kit. Also is that brown chain a lego one?

Thanks all,
YPU yes, that is a lego chain. It looks kind of ludicrous at the moment but with a suitable bout of 'rust work' I think I can get it to look like a ship's anchor chain. Something really big and heavy for dragging away oversized raider vehicles that have failed to get through the defences and been fried in the process.

Yes, that is exactly what I was imagining it could work as. The wards and docks around here often have some huge chains lying around.

Well this took forever. Work has completely taken over and almost killed my hobbying for the last couple of months, but I have finally come up for air and finished Thing1 and Thing 2. Pin-up shots and a few of these two monsters doing their day job - Guarding Junktown.

And one WIP. I am making an all ladies scrap-hunting crew on much lighter vehicles, as they specialise in high value items. I am going to base their vehicles on Rogue Trader period ork bikes and wartrakks to see if I can make them feel believably post-apoc (as much as any of my stuff is believable). First one.

Thanks all for the kind comments. I'm quite pleased with the bike too. I have a box of old wartrakks around somewhere but I can't find them and it's driving me nuts, because I want to try one of them next.
Stunning as always. Can you share the muse for your creativity? I’ve been in the dull drums for some time now. Wonderful work.
Thanks CC. The answer to the muse is easy. I just wait until work is piled high, and I absolutely have to do it, and then I start thinking about making and painting. Then it just flows like water.

Hi LAFers,
Apols in advance for the crap pics. Light ain't great.
Still working on some more light vehicles for my lady-scrappers and I can't decide what configuration to go for on this buggy. I want the scrappers to be looking for high tech kit, so some form of radar or detector makes sense, but then again, this is the wasteland so...y'know...guns. Which should I go for?
Gun (grenade launcher)...

Ok, your conversions are always great, but this idea of yours with the cute teddy bear, drives me crazy!
Genius, well thought!!! Love it! :-*
-
Can you not leave both options on the buggy? Maybe use magnets? Let’s you swap out the loads for different games?
Great idea with the teddy! 8) Where’s he(she) from?

Now that's a thought Andy, although I am not sure I'm skilled enough with my magnet hole drilling. Might try an equivalent with a wire pin though.
Teddy bears are from TT Combat. Link below

Daft question but what is the sensor sensing?
Love the updates though, very cool 8)

Not a daft question at all, proved by the fact I had to really think before answering. Following the logic of Fallout world science, where even food is edible after 200 years, I'm going to say it's picking up residual automatic distress signals, or other automated messages, indicating the presence of broadcast equipment worth salvaging. ;) ;)
Also made my second track-bike so my lady-trackers scout pair is now complete. Again, apols for the not well-lit photos.

Where did you get the ATV?

Seeing theses makes me think these would be a good addition to your board, a couple of Vespas. Obviously they’d need your trademark stowage on to them though.....

Nice stowage on those bikes.

Regarding your question on the vehicle mounted guns, I'd go the magnet route. I have also used Lego 1x1 round tiles to mount weapons.
Lookin' pretty sweet overall, I never thought to use those Raging Heroes as post-apoc but they sure do work for it.

Hi Andy, great minds and all that. Already got a few of these wonderful minis, although I intend to use them as run-abouts inside Junktown rather than out in the cruel wastes.
Sinewgrab, the ATV is Airfix British in Afghanistan 1/48. Unlike every other vehicle here, I can say from personal experience that the real things are awesome
I have now finished the build for the majority of the Lady-scrappers' vehicles. WIPs shown below. I've also had a go at a quad-biker using a Raging Heroes model. As you say Dr M, I reckon they will work quite nicely for Post Apoc as long as I can get rid of the 'not even vaguely Falloutesque' laser weapons. Some loads aren't strapped down because I want to be able to use them 'unpacked' at a salvage site as scatter terrain.
So, onto the WIPS.

Another long bout of work induced hobby-celibacy, but I have finally finished off a few dwellings and some more random Junktown residents to populate them.
Remember these?
Just had this thread completely stuffed by those nice people at Photobucket!
Switched to Flickr and will try and upload the previous pics over time - gutted.
Anyway, on with the WIPs - a few more Junktown dwellings about to go under the spray can.

Vault dude and Kiko.
Vault dude claims to be 200 years old and just showed up one day with his adopted daughter Kiko. Kiko doesn't say much and just pokes stuff with her stick. Vault dude is always nosing around and on his radio. Being the suspicious folks they are, most of Junktown think he's a spy and she is a Synth.

It is funny how the flower pots are the first to catch your eye!
Thanks for introducing us to your new guys and girls, they are all very characterful!

Inconceivable!!! :o

amazing (as always)!

The best part about this stuff (never mind the stellar textures and execution) is that it has a 'lived-in' or 'in-use' look- very believable and immersive. I get a sense of a bustling, active community of people just carrying on despite the rest of the world.

The attention to detail on each piece is stunning. Each new addition is uniqand different with a cohesion that really creates the impression of believable, but exciting world!

Finally made some progress on the Track Bikes. I'm still working on the Lady Scrappers crews but here's the paint job progress on the vehicles themselves.

Hi, no the bike is actually an Airfix 1/48 scale kit. Picked up a number of them cheap so I have lots more quad bikes to come.

As always, I'm slow at painting but can't resist making. Conscious that Junktown is a little light in the food department, I've done a couple of WIPs to fill that gap in the market. Early days, so expect more greebles n' stuff.
The Butcher Shop - this will be open air, as any good food hygiene standards would demand.

Do it canvas. Faded, very faded, stripes that once were bright & gay, but now
tattered torn & patched (with old bunting or flags). covered with a layer of dust & dirt.
By the way if you prefer making to painting, I am sure most of us would be happy to buy
your surplus 'unpainted' stuff.

Oooh! Now there is a thought. I could almost justify my OCD bits box obsession on that basis. :D :D

That looks great, as usual, - where did you get the chopped up meat etc?
-
If you are ever short of stuff in the 'Bits box' (& if you are in the UK, because of postage)
I, for one, would be prepared to send you some more from my tiny (enormous really) 'Bits box'
(garage really). Count it against any purchases of your wonderful unpainted creations.

I see you got in on the Tiny Furniture post-apoc too, eh?
Looking awesome.

Amazing as always.
A small suggestion would to add some more - lets say exotic foods. Radroach meat and the like.

That’s a great point. I wonder what a rad roach steak looks like. I have sourced a few rats now, but somehow in the spirit of your suggestion, that doesn’t feel nearly exotic enough. Challenge accepted.
-
Wow this is a GREAT thread, I will have to give this a whack in 15mm!

My first thought would be to get some of those toy insects like these for instance: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Plastic-Toy-Bugs-Insects-Perfect-as-Party-Bag-Bug-Hunting-Parties-/401240636294
And se how fay you could get with them, a knife and some green stuff. It is the post apocalypse where everyone knows bugs are huge.
-
Dr Zombie - did you notice their postage charge?
-
Again after looking through all the threads again I will have to do this in 15MM, for a P.A. world or a forgotten space Colony.
-
Dr Zombie - did you notice their postage charge?
No that was just a quick google search. Round here you can buy insects like that everywhere.
-
So I have been checking out the Facebook link, to see some of the earlier photos, and again all I can say is WOW!
I have been looking at a lot of WW II vehicles, for there are many that are some really odd ducks in that era. That I feel would make for some great not so easily recognize able P.A. vehicles, after packing them with bobs and fobs and rolls.

Thanks War Monkey. Agree on the WW II vehicles. I keep thinking some of the armoured cars would make a great base. My problem is the 50 or so resin vehicles I have already got that I need to work my way through!!
Almost done some proper bug meat as well for Dr Zombie. Hope to post an update in the next few days.
-
In my search, for many other things or projects that I'm working on in HO scale which works well for 15mm, I'm finding tons of stuff to use for such a project, I will be hitting all the Hobby Train Shows and Swaps, hoping to build a big pile of fobs and bobs.
-
It a bit horrifying when you realize all of the post-apoc gamers look at each other's stuff, and use it for inspiration, which leads to more ideas, which lead to more borrowing, which leads to...we're all a bit touched in the head, I think.

@Sinewgrab .... Indeed we are. It is a lovely place to be. OP... wonderful stuff.

Horrifying or awesome. Touched or fired up? Who knows. I love seeing other people's craziness and taking bits from them, covering them in glue and then sticking them on upside-down and seeing what happens.

Fobs and bobs are the food of inspiration. Jealous of your show touring, especially in the US, where you have all that awesome O scale stuff to play with. I occasionally place a big order with US Railroad companies and then cross my fingers it gets through customs without killing me in tax.
Right...on to the Dr Zombie challenge. Dr Z rightly pointed out the mundaneness of my food selection so I've been out in the wastes finding some more appropriate rad-riddled food for Junktown. As ever, without any sense of proportion or control, this has somewhat increased the size of my little butcher shop. Not so little now, so I have to split it over a few photos. Haven't quite worked out how the final version will be laid out.

For some reason, I feel slightly more touched than usual after making this one Sinewgrab o_o o_o o_o
-
YUM! :o :P :-* :-*
-
And I love it! :o :D
Isn't it great when you suddenly realize the project took on a life of its own?
-
Wow! That is some great STUFF! I can't wait to see some paint on all of it!
Just need a kitchen or even a diner! Where one can go and get a nice freshly fried slab of Mystery Meat! :P
-
:o I love it! :-*
Your eye for bits and detail is outstanding. Details like the cut up countertop really brings everything to life.
-
really good. Gives away how dangerous life is in the junktown if you have to keep your food from eating yourself instead ;)
-
Stunning :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
I am sure I have said it before but you bit box must be amazing :o :o :o
-
Love the huge leg strapped to the upright pallet.
As usual wonderful imagination.
-
Thanks for the kind comments all.
I am sure I have said it before but you bit box must be amazing :o :o :o
gamer Mac, I think my whole hobby should actually be redefined as bits-boxing. I now spend more time searching for and buying bits than miniatures. :?. Keeps me off the streets though.
-
I can't even begin to state how creative and awesome is this. :-*
-
That Is quite possibly the coolest butchers shop i have ever seen! nice use of the carnivean head from hordes... don't think i'd want to eat it though :(
-
It is all great work! I find myself coming back and looking all the time if not here then on your facebook page. Just Wow. would really like to see a shot of most of your work altogether as to how you would set up your version of your town.

Thanks WM, still wrestling with the whole town. I intended to use this summer holiday to build a base board for it all. As I look out at the rain, that's not going to happen just yet. Firmly still on the to do list, but I also just can't stop making new stuff. Gotta follow the muse when it takes you I guess.
-
Looking forward to seeing this stuff painted!
-
That is some tasty kitbashing!

I feel like I should recognize the circular saw, but I can't place the bit. What is that off of?

It's from the Ork Mega Nobz sprue. Some great stuff on there. Naturally I've added a few handles.

Not doing so well on the painting front at the moment because I'm stuck in that boring undercoating and colour blocking phase...so naturally I've decided to make something else.
I saw this great pic by Mike Yakovlev on Artstation and always wanted to create something similar. I like the idea of a tank that has been through the wars and been continually patched up and adapted to keep it working.
(https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1861/43660145365_e1fdeb0ab0_h.jpg)
So I created my own version, using a Tamiya 1/48 Abrams, Black 6. Still lots of work to do. Guns to add, ammo belts to leave lying around and so on, but the sense of clutter is starting to build nicely. Have no idea which faction this will end up working for, but that's just detail...
Lots of Crooked Dice stuff in here, from the Scooter on the back to the new stowage sets. Love those new sets Uti!

You are clairvoyant. I plan to use a Raging Heroes Jailbird as the commander. Not with a skinhead but, in other respects, very tankgirl.

That’s brilliant! Glad you like the new bits. Loads more on the way...

Delightful!

Thanks Andy. Tank is still on the work bench but I've finally finished a couple more of my Lady Scrappers' vehicles, along with some of the scrapper equipment.
Tank is probably up next, after the Butcher Shop I think. I need more weekends.

So what was the source vehicle and how did you do (the copious) rust?

Thanks UVS, two source vehicles are first one - PuppetsWar Ork Buggy and second one - VOID Junkers Desert Buggy with Old Crow resin turret. Trailer is scratch built. Rust technique is as described here and over the next few pages. Basically salt and hairspray.

Cool, thanks.
-
Hope you don't mind me asking but going back to your tutorial on applying the rust effects - do you start from bare plastic/metal when you apply your brown undercoat. E.g. if you were weathering a pre-painted diecast would you strip off the original paintjob to bare metal before starting the rust effect process or just give the existing paintjob a bit of a rubdown to key and then go from there? All the best, GDonk.
-
Wow, these are absolutely spectacular!! :-*

Hi GDonk, no I tend not to strip diecasts unless the paint job is really thick and obscures detail. If not I just treat it as extra undercoat. For anything else, yes I do the brown coat straight onto metal or plastic. Normally that layer is pretty resilient to removing the top coat as that is acrylic and I strip the hairspray and salt away using water. The trouble comes when I apply a MIG wash and then partially remove it again. That sometimes lifts the brown undercoat back to metal and I have to do a little touching up. I’m sure if I was more careful and varnished at key stages that wouldn’t happen, but I’m too impatient for that.
-
Cheers for the quick and very helpful response. I'll start doing some experimenting of my own . . . particularly as I've just established that the wife already has some redundant hairspray - waste not, want not, and all that. GDonk
-
I like the towed cargo, good idea. Those vehicles have seen some weather :)

Quick question, in the tutorial you said:
“Then a quick spray of cheap hairspray and a smattering of salt for heavily rusted areas. So we get..”
Are you sticking the salt down, letting it adhere to wet paint or does the hairspray do this?

Hi, the undercoat paint should be dry and it’s the hairspray that holds the salt. You need to be quite quick as the hairspray dries quickly. I tend to do a side at a time -spray, salt and let dry for a minute, then do the next side. Even if some salt falls off, the effect still works. When you apply the water and do a little light brushing it will still lift the paint at the edges.
-
Another question re: salt method: What paint do you use for the block colour, and how do you apply it?

Hi Andy, I’m really old school. I apply acrylics (model colour usually) with a big fat brush. It can take some of the salt off in the process but not enough to matter. I should apply it with an airbrush, but I haven’t got one, so it’s the basics for me.

Perfect. Thanks. Didn’t want to assume and waste effort...

That's excellent news, thanks. I use hand brushed acrylics as well, and I'd assumed the salt would be knocked of by the painting. If that isn't the case I'll have to do some experimenting...

Quick post. At last, a crew member for my Lady Scrappers' vehicles. Quad Bike Rider. Using Raging Heroes Jailbirds. Lovely figures.

Quick Update. Starting to work my way through the Butcher shop. A bit of Land Shark torso and a Rad Runner's sting barb, set against the refrigerator unit. There will be a little more blood, but I will add that at the end to everything at once.

Fantastic! This has got to be one of my favourite threads on here st the moment!

It is coming out great! Eager to see the whole composition finished!

Excellent.

I really like the refrigerator. Is that made with the same salt and brushed acrylics as before?
It also amuses my strange humour that the land shark remains are on a standard Euro palette. I almost expect an ISO certificate to appear somewhere...

Man! That cooling unit on the food locker is awesome and so realistic looking! Well done!!!

Hi Andy, yes exactly the same technique. It’s pretty speedy once you get the hang of it.
Every wasteland butcher knows you can’t beat a Euro pallet for storing 1/2 ton burgers. And naturally Mr Handy keeps all of the ISO certificates.

Painting is so good that I'm hungry!

Hi all,
Another long, work enforced break but with Xmas looming I'm back on the Butcher Shop. Hope to have it done in the next day or so. In the interim, a couple of finished elements. One of the chopping benches with some nice...er.....meat. And some yet to be diced carnivorous slugs.

All right.
Getting an early start on Christmas dinner. :o

Finished quicker than I thought!
I've broken the Butcher Shop into two bits and will join it up in daylight at some point.
First the shop front. Some identifiable food - Land Shark head, Rad Runner legs, a bit of pork and Brahmin steak and something we dug up from the irradiated wastes which seems mostly made of meat.

A couple of Fallouty bits from Modiphius to scatter around Junktown. Some Nuka-Cola Machines and machine gun turrets. Fun to paint.

Next element of my Lady Scrappers team - the Scrap Monster. While the Lady Scrappers generally tend to travel light, every now and again they find a site that's worth sitting on and picking at for a while. This means they need a bit of defence while they salvage. The Scrap Monster is the answer. A ton of rusting fire power to keep others at bay.
I'm still working on the tank commander - should be done soon.
I've included the original inspiration by Mike Yakovlev

Many thanks indeed for this and all of the other kind comments. Sadly VR I'm not quite that handy with a digital palette.
Some new stuff almost ready! Just waiting for some decent light. Maybe today (fingers crossed).

The latest bits of my steadily growing Junktown salvage crew - The Lady Scrappers.
First up - another small quad bike, courtesy of Airfix, with a Raging Heroes Jailbird crew.

Next, the Tug. This powerhouse is designed to push and pull its way into pretty much anything. Equipped with a series of winches, electromagnetic clamps, hydraulic rams and levers and a ground spike cannon. Verlinden 1/48 deck tractor with Zinge industry wheels and, well, bits.

Beautiful work. :o :o I love your paintjobs and attention to detail with the bits and pieces.

How do you attach the grab to the container (Ink cartridge)?

Deeply scientific use of blue tac! Anything goes in pursuit of a nice pic.

Very nice.
I especially like the tug and the quad bike.

Thanks for the nice & simple technique,
I was worried that you had concealed magnets on everything.

That tug is amazing - the cherry on an already brilliant cake! If that makes sense...

Cracking work, the tug is my favorite 8)

Always a treat to visit this thread!

Love your work. Just commenting to follow lol.
-
Amazing. That tug is great!

Beautiful and thanks for the heads up about Verlinden. Will have to investigate.
Every now and again I think things like "Yeah, but where is the fuel coming from?" and then remember I'm building steam powered tanks and mono wheels so I'd better just keep quiet...

Yeah, mostly I try to maintain a touch of realism, but for some things I just don’t fight it. I make my aluminium rust like old iron and I have endless gas guzzlers in an age of no fuel. Escapism rules!
;) ;) ;)

Very nice.

Nice paint work on everything! I always enjoy seeing your work.

Another WIP. I've always loved the decaying Satellite array in Fallout 4. When Craig over at Uncertain Scenery produced a comms dish I saw my chance. The dish and its immediate base is from Uncertain Scenery and the tower is a mishmash of TTCombat and other bits.
I intend to have this as yet another remnant of the original military airfield on which my Junktown settlement is built.
Lots more weathering to go, but you get the idea.

Great stuff, as always. I have to leave stuff stockpiled for ages.
My friend says, "It needs more coats of looking at" You :-
Imagine it; Make it; Detail it AND Finish it, while I am still
waiting for the 29th coat of 'looking at' to fully dry.
Well done, please keep it up.

Love it. If it makes you feel any better, I have stuff (LOTS of stuff) with 15 years worth of 'looking at you coats'. The looking at you varnish is so thick you can't see the original thing any more. Some stuff just manages to bypass the pile. It's a lottery.

The Satellite Antenna is one more impressive item!
Eager to see it finished! Cheers!
-
That is nice.
It reminds me of a book I am reading at the Waterstones Memorial Library (The Electric State, qv).
-
Oooh, I like that! :-*
-
Ooh, that's going to look smashing once it's all done up!
-
OK, a bit of a posting drought but that's because I've been juggling too many projects at once, and now they are starting to cross the finish line. First up is the Satellite Array, made by Uncertain Scenery. Initially wasn't sure how to weather this, given that it's MDF, but a combination of salt and hairspray, sponge chipping and washes seems to have done the trick.

Yep - I'd say that did the trick. Beautiful work.

Did a double-take on the first outdoor shot. Really well done. :-*

When scrolling down and you only see the upper part of the pic, it takes a while to realise you are not watching at a reference pic, but the real thing. I think that says it all. :o
-
This is breathtaking! :-*
Your weathering is perfect, I'd say.
I guess that even the folks at Uncertain Scenery didn't think their dish could look that good...

Great photos of a great paint job :-* :-* :-* :-*
You almost don't notice it is MDF
I thought you were based in Europe or UK but with that sunshine I must have been wrong?

Thanks for the very kind comments all. The MDF was an interesting challenge but I think I have the hang of it now, which is good because I’ve got quite a lot more of it.

Gamer Mac that’s SW England for you. Occasionally has a lovely burst of sunshine. I have to wait months for a shot like that!

A couple more Lady Scrapper vehicles.
The Ram - another salvage site clearance specialist vehicle like the Tug, designed to just batter stuff out of the way and create access along wreck strewn roads. Fuel consumption ain't great but driver satisfaction is high.
The Pug - a multipurpose, carry-stuff wagon
Ram by Ramshackle games and the Pug is Daemonscape, with Crooked Dice stowage and Zinge wheels.

Second of two radars. This one is also from Uncertain Scenery, sitting on a tower I got cheap from somewhere - wish I could remember where. Please let me know if anyone recognises it.
This one is also designed to be a remnant of the old airfield Junktown grew up on. In my fevered mind's eye it will nestle in a sea of abandoned airframes and shanty houses, just one more relic of the old world.
The model is MDF. Painted with cheap spray cans and salt and hairspray. Signs are just printed on card and weathered a little for effect.

Been out of town here and so I get back and see WOW! Lots of great build ad paint work! Those all Look really GREAT! :-*

When I made the Junktown Main Gate, with the improbably positioned Hind sitting on a stack of containers, someone pointed out Junktown would need quite an impressive crane to build all this nonsense. Suitably inspired, I made Old Faithful, based on a Matchbox Superkings toy crane, with the obligatory tweaking.
The weathering is OK but a little lacking in subtlety, but overall I'm happy enough with the result, and I now have the continued excuse to create more improbably stacked structures, which is the main thing.

I've been mulling over a centrepiece for my Junktown settlement for a while now. I wanted something with a bit of scale. I found one of these on Ebay and bought it as a contender a while back, but it's been gathering dust. I then had one of those weeks and the desire to build brought it out of the cupboard. It's 1/48 scale and made of various types of card.
(https://live.staticflickr.com/7817/46666389065_6207f70cc9_b.jpg)
(https://live.staticflickr.com/7906/32639395167_e79b25cac1_b.jpg)
It is, in a word, massive, and once I started thinking about putting it together I realised that its card construction was not going to be tough enough for my clumsiness, so I bought a second so I could essentially double wall everything. So far, that seems to be working.
So, I have a hangar, but what to put in it? Well despite being an old airfield, post apocalyptic Junktown mostly uses it's large assortment of refugee aircraft as a source of shelter and copper wire, so not planes. I decided to make it the home of the Junktown vehicle shop. This would give me a chance to have some fun with various 2nd and 3rd copies of vehicles I have already made and, naturally, use a ton of junk.
So rough cut layout is shown in the pics below. Each area will end up being a mini-project in it's own right. Clearly this is a very clean shot. The final product will be covered in junk, spare parts and perfectly nice models sacrificed on the altar of destruction for sheer entertainment.

A couple of shots of half the roof to give a sense of the scale and feel. The roof will be detachable and the walls will be fairly heavily corroded/dilapidated. I've also still got to work out how to actually do the roof covering so it doesn't look too neat. Not sure the original card roof will fully cut it.

Starting to post this one early because I know it will change a lot as I go and I always welcome ideas and feedback on what works and what doesn't. So, let me know what you think. I may also need a little encouragement to see this one all the way through as it's like three or four of my previous bits rolled into one. Wish me luck!
-
A really huge project!!! I admire your planning and that you materialize your sub-projects with a steady pace!
I wish you good luck!
-
Very promising 8) 8)
-
enormous project indeed !!!

I love forgetting about this thread for a while because when I return there is always so much nice new stuff. Your output is phenomenal. Can't wait to see the hangar, but I will because I'll forget about the thread again lol.
-
WOW :o
Where do you get those piles of junk and the workbenches/shelves? Are they your own casts? Because I have been looking for something similar.

Thanks Dr Z. This is just the tip of the iceberg in junk terms. The junk is from two main sources. The main one is Rusty Rail. Brilliant casts, very reasonable and great service. They are designed for early 20 Century O Scale railroads but they’re perfect for post apoc.
http://www.rustyrail.com/oscaleindex.html (http://www.rustyrail.com/oscaleindex.html)
The other is Berkshire Valley. They do some great junkpiles and great extras (wheel braces, oil cans etc).

Both are in the US and I’m in the UK so customs charges can be a pain. Rusty rail in particular do some of the most reasonable postage I’ve seen from the US though.
-
These latest updates are amazing, can't wait to see this finish!
Thanks for sharing - Rusty Rail in particular also do HO scale, which is very interesting for me!
-
what to put in the hanger a partially dismantled SR-71 Blackbird of course! :o :-*
-
Looking forward to seeing the progress
It will be a board all on its own
-
Fantastic start and I have no doubt that the finished product will be truly magnificent, as with all your builds :-* :-* :-*
-
I wish you well with this, & look forward to the results of your work.
I am having to order more blue & yellow paint, due to the number of
times your work results in...'Colour me GREEN!!!'
-
Very promising - will probably be finished in only a few weeks!
Roof wise - I'd use those corrugated plasticard (e.g. Evergreen) sheets in 2-3 different profiles to show the roof has been repaired once or twice.
-
Ooh blimey, that's going to be stunning when it's done!

Having done the fun bit of playing with 'stuff' on the hangar floor, I now have to do some proper boring stuff and get this huge hangar done.
Lots of parts undercoated and taking shape.

Been playing with a bit of flour to help give that corroded look to cardboard. Think this works OK.

An idea of what the walls should look like when they come together - internal and external skin plus interior metal (if only) frame.

Windows should look something like this. Just cut acetate but it works quite well, and will look better once it has a layer of grime on. On reflection I wish I'd painted the frames a different colour, but too late now.

And a first go at weathering and additional panels which gives a feel for the final look I'm going for.

The roof was a pig. Part of the issue is working with just card and part of it is just me being impatient and not building in the most sensible order, so it didn't quite match up as it should and I've had to employ lots of additional bracing. Should all look fine once painted.

I've bought a nice little factory thing from Sarissa Precision to go on the outside as a tech building/workshop. Replaced the doors with something a little more modern.

Now I just need to weather it all, stick it together and put a roof on top so I can get on with the fun bit!
-
That looks good. The windows look very effective.
-
Great weathering 8)
I'm assuming the floor was stuck on with watered down pva/wood glue?

Actually I just dusted it on between spray coats and then shook off the excess. If I was quick enough the tackiness of the paint held it in place for the second coat. Bit hit and miss, but dead easy and avoids over soaking the cardboard, which I've had a couple of dramas with.

A couple of shots just to get across the size of this beast. The figure is a 28mm Hasslefree. It's big.

Looking good. I like the window frames in that colour. You're going to have plenty of colour in the piece.

And now the concrete floor starts to take shape...

And I've started on the roof. Cut a basic template from the original card roof provided, and turned it upside down so some corrugation shows on the inside of the hangar, and I'm building a better, more battered roof, from off cuts. I think it works quite nicely.

Brill, thank you :)
It’s really starting to take shape 8)
Actually I just dusted it on between spray coats and then shook off the excess. If I was quick enough the tackiness of the paint held it in place for the second coat. Bit hit and miss, but dead easy and avoids over soaking the cardboard, which I've had a couple of dramas with.
-
And those roughed-up/twisted roof sheets are going to paint up nicely.
-
That roofing is really great.
Stunning build.
-
I am loving this. You are leaving the roof removable, I assume?
Have you thought about putting lights in it, since you could hide everything under the roof as far as wires and batteries?
-
Thanks all for the encouragement. That plus Easter seems to be powering the build!

I am indeed having the roof removable so the inside is firmly playable. There will be multiple levels and floor space in which to have a good dust-up.
I want to put some lights in, although they will be of the improvised variety I think. It is kinda demanding them isn't it? I won't be able to hide that much in the roof space as I am building it half wrecked, to show off the superstructure and, because, well post apocalypse. I don't think I could build something complete and un-rusty even if I tried these days.

Might I suggest these?
https://www.zinge.co.uk/collections/transparent-light-diffusers/lights (https://www.zinge.co.uk/collections/transparent-light-diffusers/lights)
You could run two conductors along the wall and solder the LEDs across them then add a resistor at the end before the supply.
There are also various model railway light that might provide suitable lighting.

Thanks UVS and Storm wolf. I've got some of those from Zinge. They are great. I've also got some of the woodland scenics railway lighting, which is excellent. Very easy to configure and resistors already built in, to save a tech biff like me from soldering myself to the worktop.
The only issue is where to fit them and for that I'm going to wait until I've modelled some more of the inside, to see what looks best. I think a couple of wall hanging lights is the answer.
Roof mostly done now and ready for paint. I'll add a few tarps and bricks oo, but the base shape is now there.

Agreed! Although I'm more of a green tarp man myself.

That roof looks great.

OK, the basics of the hangar are now done - roof is complete and I've blocked in the basic colours for all walls, roof and concrete base. Just need to properly weather it now.

In a word fan-blommin-tastic :-*, infact it strangely reminded me of part of a factory where I once used to work lol
Great work as always

Coming out so convincingly real with its rusty corrugated roof pieces and the cracks on the cement! :-*
-
You continue to impress. Most of us would be (VERY) happy with the hanger
in this state, but I know you will take two or three levels higher, what with
your weathering, ageing & clutter. (I would be happy with just a few bits of
'clutter' if they looked as nice as your's)
-
Excellent piece.
Where the hell are you going go store it?

Excellent piece.

That's the beauty of it! By filling it up with shelves, chains and other post-apocalyptic bric-a-brac, he'll make the room to store it as he goes!
Seriously though, I love how this is turning out! Can't wait to see when it's done!

First off, thanks again for the encouragement and kind words. Very helpful as this is a bit of a time thief.
Excellent piece.
Where the hell are you going go store it?
Well now that is the question isn't it. Planning ahead just isn't my strong point. I think I have a cupboard which might just fit it, if I have an Ebay fest to create some space. This will of course give me funds for yet more stuff, and so the cycle continues...

You could be on to something here. I was getting quite excited about the fact that I will fill this with a whole load of mini projects which will use up stuff that's been sitting on the 'look at but don't do yet' pile. Then I went to Salute. Ooops.
-
That's quite the monstrosity! Very cool, I could use one myself (also out of space...).
-
Very impressive!
-
That is amazing.
You are giving Rich H a run for his money.

That hangar is a thing of beauty!

Bit of journey. Some steep learning on building and painting cardboard, plus confirmation that I am not to be trusted with anything which requires precision, but once I get the the finishing stage I'm normally OK.
Hangar is now done. I am keeping the camera off the Sarissa Precision side building for the moment as that is still a work in progress.
Particularly pleased with the roof as I was feeling my way there more than anywhere. Anyway....pics (and apologies in advance for so many, but I'm going to milk this one).

And rightfully so! :)
This is one spectacular build, and it looks amazing. When I was looking at the first few beauty shots (coming into the thread from the bottom, as I usually click the last post icon), I found that most of the pictures look like screenshots of some post apoc computer game, what with the greenery in the back and the real sunlight creating those sharp, contrasting shadows.
It truly is a work of art; something to aspire to... :-*

Damn, I forgot (genuinely)! Will rectify. :D :D :D

Well I certainly keeps bringing me to the yard.

Well... I have the 1/72 version of that hangar I was going to use for a post apoc airfield... not sure I'll bother now it'll only be crippling disappointment. :'(
But, seriously amazing work! :-*

Absolutely. It looks like a real building. You're vastly talented.

Love this. Top job.

A beautiful wreck. I'll be stealing ideas from that for a while.
Also still slightly envious of your photography location...

Haha!!...you SURE know how to put a smile on faces 'round here with this thread clanmac!!!....awesome hangar and interior decor!!! :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

P.S. You better get a crew on the roof with that tarp before the acid rain season hits........ :D
-
Wow! That Hanger look totally Awesome! :o
-
Very well done. Outstanding weathering.

Started to work on some of the internals for the hangar. This is the corner home/office for the head honcho of the repair shop. A bit more detail to add and I’ll put pictures on the wall and the obligatory pot plants etc to finish, but you can see the rough idea.

First off, thank you for all the ridiculously nice comments. Delighted to know my obsession provides some entertainment and inspiration.
I need a bit of LAM hive-mind help. I'm just finishing off the first interior project for the hangar and starting the second and I'm not sure which way to jump. The right hand back corner of the hangar will have another house/junkpile in the form of a bus. Under that bus I can put 'something'. Two options:
A soft-top wasteland explorer, perfect for any junk collecting vehicle mechanic to go scavenging in - makes this seem more like a home.
A pile of rubbish with a parts-salvaged Harley Davidson on top - adds to the greater sense of mess.
Which way should I go (and yes in theory I know I could do both, but I like to start somewhere).
Wasteland explorer

And a quick couple of WIPS from Hangar Interior Project 1 - still got rust and weathering powders to go, but you can see how things are coming along.

Stunning, as always. I would say go with the Harley under the bus and get that wasteland explorer out there and ready to do some exploring. What is it by the way?
-
I would second this. Putting the Harley there, lets more "breathing space", and more harmony to the geometry of the picture.
How you achieve everything to blend together in the end, this is magic!
And the whole thing of bits and bob s seems that has been put there by a long (timewise) natural procedure...
Yes, you achieved harmonious clutter too! ;)
-

It's a Matchbox Lasertron with tracks added. Unpainted WIP here. Had it sitting around covered in salt for ages so I thought I ought to get on with it, but the consensus looks like its for the Harley, so maybe I'll just need to do it anyway and leave it sitting around somewhere.

Cheers for the info Mac. I'm currently looking at and collecting possible base vehicles for waterlining and converting for a PA canal/waterworld type scenario. That and its sister vehicles look like good candidates. All the best, Joe
-
My choice would be to leave the explorer there (but not stuck down). It looks like it belongs in the space whereas the Harley seems a bit out of place.
-
My Eyes are not worthy to cast upon your objects of GREATNESS! :o
-
Awesomesauce (as usual) 8)
I too feel like the explorer fits in there better than the piled up Harley. However; it is such a great vehicle, that it would be a shame to hide it away like that. Perhaps build up the junk pile with the Harley a bit more so it closes the space off a bit more?
And I'm now really curious to learn where those small steps will be leading to, as right now, they're like the Road to Nowhere (Hah!)...
-
The Harley doesn't fit in that space but I don't think you should hide the explorer in there either, Not much help sorry!
How about re-positioning the Bike ?

The stairs will then run into a ladder which allows access to all that crap on the roof of the bus. And I will add more stuff behind the Harley. It will also have the hangar wall behind it so it won't feel quite so 'unfilled'.

Oh it all helps. I think the issue is probably as Daeothar described. The space looks a bit under-filled by the bike. I'll put some more material in to bulk out a bit.
My Eyes are not worthy to cast upon your objects of GREATNESS! :o
And War Monkey - Thank You!!
In sum, I think Harley, with some adaptation, is winning, but I'm doing the Explorer anyway so I can always change at the last moment. If indecisiveness is a religion, I'm a high priest.
-
Beautiful stuff.
I don't know if you are after more opinions on the harley vs family sedan idea but I'd go for the Harley and junk underneath, the explorer vehicle seems to orderly under there.
-
I agree that the Explorer should be used and not hidden, the work you did with it is great would be a shame to bury it and hide it.
-
Thank you all very much for the input - I think I'll go with (augmented) Harley pile but push on with the explorer too so I can have it feature in the Hangar somewhere.
Back to Interior Project 1 - the Home Office. Now complete, with rust etc and I'm lucky enough to have another nice day for photos. I've put it into the rough final position in the Hangar to show how it will sit. The observant amongst you will note I have not yet made a route up there. Still pondering that, based on the things that sit in Project 3, just in front of it. Pics...

Yes, give or take the odd mm ;) ;). I keep my Hangar in an old, abandoned hangar.

I actually had to do a double take when I scrolled down to see the first picture of the finished storage racks and home office; at first glance I thought I was looking at a real life picture you put up to show your inspiration...
Next to the stunning modeling and painting, I think it's the actual sunlight, casting sharp, dark shadows and showing the colours in all their (dusty) vividness really helped getting that illusion across.
One thing though, which I just now noticed; the broken window panes of the hangar are an awesome detail but something was not sitting right with me for some reason. And then I got it; they're too clean! Everything else has a (very suitable) grimy, dusty look, but the glass looks squeaky clean. perhaps dust them up a bit?
Because even on non dilapidated industrial/storage buildings with windows (up high), the glass is (almost) always extremely dirty, to the point where it's hard to even see through them. The same goes for skylights btw.
Please keep the pictures coming; this truly is a remarkable and memorable build :)

It's a very good point - those back windows are not nearly dirty enough. Will have to throw some more dirt at them! Great feedback, thank you.

Quick update. While I finish off the Hangar project 2 (the bus), I've started work on project 3, a large, dirty, greasy pile of fuel and oil drums to lubricate the wasteland's finest vehicle workshop. Tucked in there is also another half forgotten repair project, a military command vehicle.

The command vehicle
The idea is this references another vehicle I have already built as part of my 'not Reilly's Rangers'. Although I've kept this one tracked.

Agreed, many of the photos look like the pictures of actual abandoned places. Pretty amazing.

Must keep my eye open for another SHADOW vehicle.
I 'fixed' one with some (bodged) tracks, then swapped it.
I like what you have done with yours. I never
even considered replacing the tracks with wheels.

Hi all,
Next project is done. 2 down, 4(ish) to go. The Bus Stop (because the bus has stopped ....sorry) is now complete so the whole back wall of the Hangar is now done. Pics below. Sadly, I lacked the beautiful sun of the last few weeks but the shots have come out OK. The wasteland explorer is still WIP but I'll revisit the whole 'Bike vs Explorer thing (pg 58/9) when it's done. Pics...

Tears of
envy admiration...
Especially at the shots with the roof on... :-*
I can see now that the bus and the opening under it was supposed to go in front of that door in the back, so I think I can now agree that the Harley rubble pile is actually best there, because that does not close off the entrance completely.
This offers both a sneaky way in and hard cover, so from a playability point of view, this is preferable... :)

Stunning work - but how did they lift the bus up there? ??? It looks great though! :-*

That's absolutely amazing. Really creative use of bits and pieces, and so well painted!

Quick WIP update. Fuel and oils area starting to take shape. Colours are blocked in and some decals added to create some visual noise. In fact, given that there are lots of primary colours here, it’s positively cacophonous right now. It’ll tone down a bit, but it’s meant to be a little full on. Washes, oils and weathering powders to go.

Thanks again for the great comments. Glad you are enjoying this nonsense. I certainly am.

Terry, megaboard is the idea, but it seems to be taking me forever. This is the first big centrepiece and I still have a Hercules C130 to be the other major element. Been working out for ages what the end result looks like. Starting to take shape, which means maybe by 2020! In my mind's eye there are three 600x1200 mm boards, one with the town centre (Hangar and Hercules, plus radars and control tower), one with the Junktown Front Gate and a load of scrap walling plus defences and one with the Junkyard, scrap and recycling machines spread across the old runway. Let's see if I can get there!
Next update - Project 3 inside the hangar is now complete, plus a hangover from Project 2. This is the fuel and oils area. The SHADO vehicle was only ever meant as a prop, but it's kinda become more versatile than that, so it can be a game piece as well. I've also finished the Wasteland Explorer.
Hopefully you can see why I have left the weathering of the floor until the end. Starting to work out where the stains need to be!

So on to the next Project - the vehicle bay. Just a couple of quick WIPs here to show the vehicles under repair. Haven't got the space or the light to take photo of the whole bay and I'm still tweaking bits of it, but this should give you a feel for what I'm aiming for. Had fun with the Humvee in particular. That thing I've built looks NOTHING like a real Humvee engine but hey, this is the wasteland right...it's probably been jury-rigged...or something.
And yes, as I lay the wheel brace on top of the wheel, and the pliers on the Humvee engine, I did start to wonder what an earth I'm doing
First up, Wasteland Crawler - a bashed one of these.

Many thanks Dr M, the Explorer is an old Matchbox Lasertron, with the wheels removed and some random tracks added.

I'm going to guess that your vehicle bay is going to be in a separate structure, to which I am very much looking forward too!
I have a couple of questions.
With all this great builds that you are putting out there do you find time to game, or do you just like to build as a hobby?
How deep is your parts bin? With all the little extras you have here, there and every where, you must have had a very big parts bin.
Just how big is your gaming room and gaming table?
-
Outstanding build all around. Attention to detail on every aspect is phenomenal.
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48116646292_9f6e285af4_b.jpg)

Many have tried to reach the bottom, but no one has ever returned from Clanmac’s parts bin.
It is visible from space though.

I missed several updates and just had the pleasure to read through about 15 pages. Highly enjoyable and absolutely magnificent hobbyism at display here!

So many good questions. So few good answers.
The vehicle bay is actually going in the hangar itself. The middle and front section is still largely unfilled so it, plus the last project, which is a single large vehicle, will fill it.
At the moment I'm nearly all build and no game, but the gaming comes in fits and starts, depending on work. When Junktown is completely done I probably need to get it out there so if anyone wants to use it for Salute 2020 (or maybe 21!) that's a possible.
My parts bin now outsizes everything else. It's approx 12 large tool boxes, plus a few deep containers. The only reason you can't see it from space is because the box on top is full of camouflaged parts. I suspect AKULA has some agents on the ground!
Gaming table. Well it's a problem. 3 teenagers are each living in my potential games rooms, but university beckons so I feel a proper home is just round the corner. Up till then it's very small games on a coffee table.
I missed several updates and just had the pleasure to read through about 15 pages. Highly enjoyable and absolutely magnificent hobbyism at display here!
Too kind, although seeing that much at once must have made it seem even more mental. Feels that way sometimes as I carry the hangar into the garden like a baby for photos.
Stunningly good.

Thank You, for the answering my questions.
I could hardly wait for our last child out of five to leave home, of course as they moved out we down sized the houses to smaller homes. My eyes had been watching that last room and counting down the time, no the wife did not swoop in and taken over the room. No my wife decided we need to remodel the house and it's been the storage room! For all the other rooms.
In the mean time I have been slowly building my supplies. Waiting for that one day, that one day.

Thanks very much Cypher - enjoying watching your workshop come together too.
Need to post a WIP, just to keep the pressure on myself as I was slacking a bit last week.
The vehicle bay is coming together. Most of the elements below need a bit of tidying up and finishing (dust washes etc) but are largely there. Still need to finish a host of smaller details but I'm putting these up so you can see how it's coming together.

It is rare for clutter to be characterized beautiful :-* but this is!
Unbelievable details, one must come back again to admire! Cheers!
-
Very impressive.

Finished the final stages slightly quicker than I thought. So project 4 is now complete, and the sun was out.

So now I've just got to fill the final two areas below. May be seeking some expert input on that in the days to come.

Superb 8) 8)
Maybe the two remaining areas could just be tarp covered objects? Of failing that one of them could be the sort of crane you see in car garages?
-
Well, crap. Somebody just shoot me - I think I am throwing my brushes away.
Bloody gorgeous, laddie.
-
I'll second the crane apparatus idea. Would really make sense with the amount of heavy lifting that would be going on in a shop like this.
-
unbelievably good :-* :-* :-*
-
Oh, it's fantastic in there! I also agree with the crane idea, but maybe it's broken in some inconvenient way.
-
Fantastic job! Your pictures are a joy to look at!
Especially those that the light comes in and the vegetation is seen through the skylights!
-
Awesome.
-
Amazing
Inspiring
Awesome
-
I love it.
I like the crane idea. But how about in stead of filling it just dirty up the floor. In a workshop like that there is bound to be some oil and paint spills.
With all that magnificent junk the floor is almost to clean.
-
As always, blooming fantastic!!!!!!
You seem able to make this wonderful stuff faster than I can spot all the details.
Please keep it up.
-
what everyone else has already said, and then some.
-
I agree also that the floor looks a bit too clean with all your amazing junk everywhere.
-
How about just leaving the space open for figures to move through
-
:o :o :o :o :o
Cannot write... I'm just drooling over this. Maybe later.
-
Wow...absolutely stunning!
For one of the spaces how about a customer waiting area? Beat up couch, table with magazines, coffee machine / vending machines, etc.?
Thanks for sharing this, it’s hugely inspiring.
-
Amazing work. An inspiration to us all :-* :-* :-*
-
As tear-inducingly beautiful as ever! :-*
And also now firmly set in the Fall-Out universe I see... ;)
But... no threading on the bolts of the wheel assemblies on the Wasteland Crawler? ;D
-
I think my favorite thing about this is there's so much going on- the scenes remind me of Sergio Aragones's claustrophobic drawing style, always something to see. Plus it's fun to identify components :)
-
It's totally amazing the work and the detail, you Sir! Your making the Apocalypse looking like a fun place to be!
-
It really is a work of art.
And a weathering masterclass.
Maybe help out the rest of us mere mortals by revealing your favourite couple of go-to weathering products and / or techniques / tricks of the trade? :)
-
That is so ridiculously awesome, I'm stunned. Every little detail is so excellent.
-
It is grand, great vision and execution, but I too think the floor is far too clean. Now I've seen it, I can't unsee it if you know what I mean.
Leave those two spaces empty, maybe just some oil stained crumpled magazines, a drinks can or other minor detail. Like any good composition, the eye also needs dead areas on which to rest. Not to mention actually being able to get figures in there.
-
The level of detail is as wonderful as the implementation. Fantastic work. I would second a crane or engine lift. Some dirt around in corners on the floor could point to where people walk and where they don't.
-
Hi all, thanks so much for the great comments and for the suggestions. So, what to do...
It is grand, great vision and execution, but I too think the floor is far too clean. Now I've seen it, I can't unsee it if you know what I mean.
Leave those two spaces empty, maybe just some oil stained crumpled magazines, a drinks can or other minor detail. Like any good composition, the eye also needs dead areas on which to rest. Not to mention actually being able to get figures in there.
The floor - I know. My plan was to finish all of the inserts and then do the floor, just to be sure where the paths, vehicle working areas and other bits would be. A bit unnecessary perhaps but I'm committed now. Rest assured, there will be dirt, lots of dirt.
Can't quite bring myself to leave the areas empty. You're right about the composition, but see Moebius point below.
I think my favorite thing about this is there's so much going on- the scenes remind me of Sergio Aragones's claustrophobic drawing style, always something to see. Plus it's fun to identify components :)
Love identifying components in other people's work so I'm right there with you. Someone else likened this to a pic by the Belgian artist, Moebius, who I always used to love as a kid - chaotic and full of hidden detail. I guess that's the feel I'm going for.
Wow...absolutely stunning!
For one of the spaces how about a customer waiting area? Beat up couch, table with magazines, coffee machine / vending machines, etc.?
Thanks for sharing this, it’s hugely inspiring.
Now that is a cool idea. Not shown in the pics below but I love it and definitely have the parts for it. Will squeeze it in!
As tear-inducingly beautiful as ever! :-*
And also now firmly set in the Fall-Out universe I see... ;)
But... no threading on the bolts of the wheel assemblies on the Wasteland Crawler? ;D
thank you! Aye, always wanted to have a little bit of a Fallout feel to Junktown (not least the name/inspiration). I don't stick strictly to the 'lore' because it's too limiting for models, especially vehicles unless you go back to FO 1 and 2, but I love the Vault concept and the idea of dwellers battling those on the surface for salvage. I f I ever finish Junktown I have a whole gang of Vaulties waiting for completion.
And as for the bolt threading - aieee, I have been out-detailed. Good call. Will need to add some lines in - thank you!
Superb 8) 8)
Maybe the two remaining areas could just be tarp covered objects? Of failing that one of them could be the sort of crane you see in car garages?
So, picking up two of these, I was wondering about a recovered vehicle, something like that below. I like the idea of showing something that has been obviously salvaged and is waiting for a refit. Ignore the vehicle itself - just a place holder.
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48329858477_7c7375e6e6_b.jpg)
Could also have a tarp on it - again a place holder as I'd use tin sheet for the real thing.
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48329722631_90fc20a061_b.jpg)
I love it.

See above on the floor (but you are right of course). The crane. Two options really. An industrial interior crane, which is what I think most of you may have in mind, like this:
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48329859062_0769ee30e0_b.jpg)
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48329859382_d1688a8e53_b.jpg)
Or something a little more chaotic and jury-rigged, like this (noting it would have some work to tidy up the obvious disconnects around the turntable.
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48329860057_ba24ce5db8_b.jpg)
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48329724506_0dd27c96a3_b.jpg)
The first is a tight fit but would add to that sense of overstuffing, which I quite like. The second takes less space but will have the crane almost in the rafters, which might look a bit silly. But then again, what is silly in this context? I have an engine ready to hang off either crane.
Oh, it's fantastic in there! I also agree with the crane idea, but maybe it's broken in some inconvenient way.
Like the idea of the broken crane and I think it could work for either of the above. Could even hang a sign off it saying 'Danger - Rusted and Unstable' or something like that.
The last option was the one I originally started with. I like having vehicles in here that match those in the various salvage teams or 'warbands'. As the Junktown Security Force has Thing 1 and Thing 2, I was tempted to have Thing 3 in here in bits.
What do you think, vs the options above?
Thing 1&2

Thing 3

Thank you - and I will try to combine the above with the next set of posts. What ever I fill the gap with, I'll do a little bit of a walkthrough with product placement!
As ever, very grateful for your ideas and continued encouragement. Gotta love this hobby of ours.
-
Do both ideas, crane and thing 3, except the crane is suspending the turret above the hull for maintenance.

Nice build! Like it.

I like this option!
-
I also like the idea of some kind of Thing 3/crane combination, but if your heart's set on the couch and vending machine area, I'd love to see that as well.
-
The floor - I know. My plan was to finish all of the inserts and then do the floor, just to be sure where the paths, vehicle working areas and other bits would be. A bit unnecessary perhaps but I'm committed now. Rest assured, there will be dirt, lots of dirt.
My suggestion for the dirt is oily dirt. It would fit the scene.
Or something a little more chaotic and jury-rigged, like this (noting it would have some work to tidy up the obvious disconnects around the turntable.
My vote
The second takes less space but will have the crane almost in the rafters, which might look a bit silly.
Like the idea of the broken crane and I think it could work for either of the above.
I like the idea but why confine yourself to the interior? If it is sticking out the door possibly incorporating a tarp/tent shelter of some kind suspended by the crane it would fit too. With the horded materials inside it would surly spill over outside.
-
Oh! Your just killing me! With all these great things your doing, at current I'm in a holding pattern for any and all things, :-[
-
Thanks so much all for the feedback - here is where I have ended up.
I have a crane. I've shortened it a bit more to fit it in and raised the height so it looks like it could have actually lifted the turret that it is now carrying. The turret is just loosely held in place for the photos. Finished job will be suspended higher and 'neater'. The crane also needs a few final bits of detail.
THING 3 is now pretty much done. Love these Rheboks from Curtis at Ramshackle Games. They have a lovely indestructible feel to them. Clearly I've tried to destruct mine a little bit.
And I've put something on the salvage trailer. Gecko from Old Crow Models. No idea where I'm going to put it but once I got a-makin' I just had to finish it.
Lastly there is the customer waiting area - thanks Raedwald! Again, not quite sure where it will go but I'm gonna shuffle things till it fits.

I love the crane! Exactly what I thought of when I suggested it. Cant wait to see it done!
-
Very nice idea with the crane, have you thought of a catwalk of sorts on the top of it?
I'm starting to think you have found the Cornucopia of Fobs and Bobs for all the extras little things for your builds, thinks that make you go Mmmmmmm .
-
Ooh, that's gonna be right pretty when it's done.
-
Been waaaay too long since I've done any hobbying. New job ate my life for a bit. Now re-establishing a little normality so it's back to the Junktown Hangar.
I couldn't quite work out how to fit the customer waiting area in and then remembered I had a side building. I quite liked the idea of having it overflowing with salvage at the same time so this is where I've ended up.

Fantastic, glad you're back to it. Can't wait to see those painted up. :P :P :P

I know that it has been said so often that it is starting to loose all meaning. But I am in absolute awe of you bitsbox, and your use of it.

I'm just stunned by all your work! Again and again is just awesome!
Just where to do you get all your extra detail stuff all those bobs and fobs?

Lovely clutter. Cannot wait to see this completed.

Thanks all for the great welcome back and kind comments.
I'm just stunned by all your work! Again and again is just awesome!

War Monkey, I have an obsession. I work harder at collecting bobs and fobs than proper miniatures. To be honest it's kinda out of control but I'm an old dog so it's too late to learn new tricks now. My bits boxes look like this. This is just the box of boxes.
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48893779311_1a98d4c070_k.jpg)
And this one is 'tech spares'

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48893242593_32b624764f_k.jpg)
The overall stack looks like this, and that's just the small parts. Bigger parts are in a few bigger boxes. I need to build Junktown just to run this lot down.
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48893778836_7c857dd330_k.jpg)
I know that it has been said so often that it is starting to loose all meaning. But I am in absolute awe of you bitsbox, and your use of it.
Thanks! If only it was just one box. Is Bitscupboard a thing? If so, I think that is what I have.
Lovely clutter. Cannot wait to see this completed.
Thanks Snitcy. It's all about the clutter. As you can see from the nonsense in boxes above, I have so much more clutter I need to spread. The hangar is probably the most cluttered thing I've done so far, but I'm already starting to think about making the next project even more cluttertastic.
And on to a quick update. I've started to work on the outside of the side building. More weathering to do to tone down the various bits of lettering, but you get the idea...

OMG! :o That's really a lot of Bobs and Fobs! :-* IF I had boxes of those like yours I'm sure the wife would have me committed ;D I guess I better get to work to get just one good box of bits going.
Thanks for Sharing your horde it is very impressive! I was kind of thinking you had molds and you would cast parts as you needed.
Your Building is Great! This is the waiting room for the Hanger correct?

Yes, this should sit alongside the main hangar like this and it'll be the waiting room. I'm going to add an improvised sign.

Finished the waiting room now. Just the final interior project to go and the Hangar is done. Then I can work out how to get all of this nonsense on a base board.

Thanks again for all of the great comments - quick post this time and views very welcome. I'm now putting together the hangar baseboard - one of 3-4 that will make up Junktown as a whole.
I want this to be based on the edge of the taxi way for the small reserve air base that became Junktown so it's got the hangar plus a few admin buildings. So far, roughing it out I think it will look a bit like this. The tower on the roof will have a control tower room on top. What do you think?
Obviously there will be piles of junk scattered around to clutter it up. The corner by the hangar has some Necromunda-type pipe work in. Much of it will be buried by junk but it's supposed to be like the base's old power network. Too 40K for a Falloutish world?

Looks awesome. I wouldn't say that the 40K industrial stuff is out of place at all. Maybe the Haemotrope Reactor would be but I don't see one of those in there lol
-
I think it looks gorgeous.
Bastard.
;D
-
I think it is going to look great!
-
Oh that's gonna be pretty!
As for the 'too 40k for post-apoc,' there's no reason that your scavengers couldn't have found some 40k rulebooks and tried to build to the aesthetic...although the big blood reactor with the skull on it might be a bit much.
-
Thanks for all the feedback. Still wrestling with the pipes. Might put a pile of containers in that corner. The Osprey is starting to take shape. I’m building an interior so the wings will lift off (no pun intended). The idea is this is home to someone green fingered so the cockpit has become a green house and yellow box on the roof will be a grow box full of pumpkins. WIP pics....

Excellent. Love the sun loungers 8)
-
I love it! :-*
The idea of a little lounge area on the tail section is just brilliant!
Plus the use of the cockpit as a small green house is rathe cool too!
-
That is neat.
Did you make the sun loungers?

Thanks. Sun loungers are cheap Chinese O scale model railroad bits. I think I got 20 of them for about £3 on eBay.

You keep outdoing yourself, the plants and lounge chairs are too good!!!
-
More awesomeness! 8)
I can definitely see where this one is going. One question though; will bases fit on the floor of the inside of the hull, with the bed and clutter there?
Oh, and for moment there, I thought I had missed a new Osprey rulebook and was trying to imagine what Farm Wars in 28mm would look like... lol

Like many has pointed out - Amazing work! And and awesome bits collection!!
...And speaking of, may I ask where (if you remember) you sourced the following bits?

I found the larger drum stacks, but the middle one with some gas canister and jerry cans still eludes me..

Thanks Treadheadz, no idea about the jerrycans. Thought they were Scotia Grendel but can’t see them on the website. The missile launcher is from the Titan Forge Sentry bot. It’s one of the weapon options.

Some of my Junktown ‘civilians’ are on quite small bases so they just about fit and there is a bigger gap by the window so it can be used as a fire position by most models.

Cheers mate, I have plenty of barrel and jerry cans - It was actually the combo with some Gas Bottles/Canisters that caught my conversion eye ;)

The Jerry Cans were parts of the old Warzone Battlefield Terrain Set "Fuel and Ammunition Dump"

Its on Page 15.
And a very lovly Osprey Farm so far Clanmac! As usual :-)

Thank you @DELTADOG
Wow - Thats a blast from the past, not sure I'll ever be able to scrounge that set up - Looks like I'll have to make some from scratch :D

Delta Dog, you're a genius. I would never have found that.
Latest quick update. Back to the final project for the interior of the Junktown Hangar - Thing 3 under repair. This is still firmly WIP and needs more weathering, rust streaks, powders etc, but it is starting to come together. Quite pleased with the way the jacks have turned out. They are scratch built from Ramshackle Games parts, which is also where the Rhebok (Thing 3) comes from. The crane is a converted harbour gantry from Matchbox.

Thanks very much Curtis - and timely as one of your ace Rhebok's is the subject of this update.
Thing 3 is now done as is the crane. Weathering powders, rust streaks and leaking oil added - hope you can tell the difference! Some pics here and then I hope to take some photos tomorrow of them in situ in the Hangar in some better light. That will be the Hangar totally finished (except maybe for a sign).

Thank you kindly sirs. I definitely feel like my rust techniques have improved as I've worked through this project. Speaking of which...
The Junktown Hangar is now DONE. I've even sorted the floor out. Taken lots of pics in a few different configurations. The first two are of the Hangar as a vehicle bay for the Junktown Guard Force, with THINGS 1, 2 and 3 all together. And the second is in 'Settlement' mode, with a few dwellings set under cover of the hangar roof.
I've taken a mix of roof-on and roof-off shots. One is all about the gaming, the other is just trying to create atmospheric pics. Surprised how well it works with the roof-on. Pics...

Thanks all for the wonderful comments. Glad this provides some amusement. Certainly does for me.
I said I had done a number of configurations for the Hangar. The last one is the full workshop in all it's messy glory. Enough room to swing a radscorpion, but only just.

You are quite correct sir.

That is amazing. Those photos with the roof on make it actually look real, like we are looking into some photos of one of those odd deserted cities you see pictures of around the place. I am gobsmacked!

I can't add anything the other posters have already said, so I'll just leave it at saying that you have created a thing of utmost awesomeness and beauty and in my opinion probably the best project ever documented on LAF (and there have been a few good ones!) 8)
So; what's next? :D

This is indeed a work of strange beauty. I see more detail every time I look.

Truly beautiful. The detail is just amazing.

Stunning. Love the Shadow vehicle tucked away there. Amazing building and painting with all of it. :o

Man, that looks SO good! Insane!!

First off, Merry Xmas (or Thanksgiving), fellow wasteland travellers. Thank you again for all the great comments.
So; what's next? :D
That indeed is the question. I'm now starting to build out the rest of the Junktown Hangar Board. I showed this first mock up a little while ago but it's already changed quite a lot as I start to pencil in the details.
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49002302057_0d03fcfc35_3k.jpg)
I've decided to add in a rail track so I can put this in on the left hand side instead of the small white and red building. The Junktown Power Company at last finds its home.
(https://live.staticflickr.com/4453/37661513831_2500c85a6d_k.jpg)
And I am now looking to fill the corner behind the waiting room and provide a backdrop for the Osprey Farm. Rather than the pipes and small building I had planned I'm now going for a vehicular overspill for the workshop. So far it's looking a bit like this.

This is somewhere between scrap pile and 'stuff that might be useful'. I've got a few more of the obligatory boxes full of random spare parts to sit at the front.
Now if only it would stop raining long enough for me to spray some stuff rusty, I'll be rolling.
-
:-* :-* :-*
-
Just more great ideas that I'm just jealous of! lol
-
Nice.
-
I didn’t think this could get better, but it is.
You’ll need a big crane on the table so there’s something that can stack up all those large containers.
-
Really like the direction this board is taking, love the train and the scrap pile!
-
What a glorious pile of junk.
-
What a glorious pile of junk.
This. So much this.

Thanks so much - but also making me feel guilty. The last update is still sitting on my work bench waiting for me. It now has an undercoat but not much else. Work has sadly eaten all my time. Hoping to get back to the brushes soon!
-
Haven't been doing any gaming and so I only occasionally stop in, but when I do I like to check on this thread and holy smokes you have been busy in the best way!
I went back about 10 pages and didn't see anything specific, but could you share what the source was for the core of the big crane/gantry? It's fantastic.
-
This whole thing is just amazing!!

Thanks eilif, the gantry is a slightly modified Matchbox crane. I think it's supposed to be around 1/76th or 1/87th scale. Comes from this harbour set

Clearly I fiddled with it a bit. Shortened it first.

What a neat toy! I would have flipped out for something like that as a kid.
Dare I assume you have equally cool plans for the ship and mobile lift?
-
A little update after a LONG time. Finally getting back to Junktown and making some progress on my pile of vehicles and spares for the corner of my Hangar Board.
Just the basics blocked in and hairspray rusted, plus a few decals positioned. On to detailing, washes and weathering next.
Quite pleased with the pallet of spare track. Reminds me of those I used to see lying around in barracks in Germany in a former life. These are perhaps a little rustier. ;)

Excellent job once more! I also admire the decals, especially the "theft or damage" one! ;D
-
and rightly so should you be pleased. Can I ask where the pallet is from? All the best and stay safe, GDonk

Thanks GDonk, the pallet is a cool kit isn't it? From these guys. They may some great crates and shelf sets as well.

This thread is honestly amazing. It's one of the things I've been following for ages and it's really inspiring. I hope to be able to get something similar started soon.

A combination of holiday and lockdown has allowed me to get this one completed quite quickly. Photos are not really 'in final location' because I have a lot of work to do on the base board, but you can see roughly what it will look like. This piece will eventually be tucked in against the side wall of the Junktown Hangar.
So we started here...
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49760496587_b238337362_3k.jpg)
And for once I haven't fiddled with it too much from start to finish.

Now with some glorious time on my hands the question is what to do next. Baseboard I think.

Many, many likes! Cheers!

You sir are a wizard. In natural light if I did not see the edge of your base board on occasion I would say you were photographing a life size junk heap! o_o o_o o_o Really amazing work thanks for your delightful update and the inspiration they provide.
-
I am sure I can smell the rust, spilt oil etc. the work is soooooooooo real. well done.
-
I've said it before - fantastic, just fantastic. Can't wait for more.
-
Such great looking stuff :o

Clanmac, you did a tutorial on the salt technique, and I can't find it. Can you remember where you put that?

I thought the same, I often think that he's inserted a picture that he used as an inspirational source, then see it's a 28mm work of art :)

Hi Sinewgrab, yes it's here, although I probably need to do a simpler one on a single vehicle. Runs for a couple of pages.

Moving on to the Hangar baseboard now.
Started here.
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49002301982_ad2841ffd1_3k.jpg)
Then covered in blue foam
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49039892278_e308ae19b4_k.jpg)
Now getting some paint and detailing onto the blue foam. The back is relatively undetailed because it will be covered in stuff (buildings and recently completely corner-piece.

Weathering, dirt and some tufts next!

Wow!

Not only your job is amazing :-* but it is enviable how you manage to do so many details in such a short time!

Lovely stuff :-* :-* :-*

Wowsers! Great work.

That's amazing. Is it all glued down or can you move it around, change junk, etc?
-

Thanks Karadek, it's in sections so I can move lumps of it. Each of the vehicles is separate as is each of the container stacks. And I've got endless free-standing boxes and bits. I like to be able to configure stuff.
-
That's crazy, man. Inspirational stuff.
-
Is it just me or has Photobucket had one of its turns?
And it is back.
Stunning work.

Looking forward to the weathering tying the board and hanger together. A truly fantastically detailed game board. :-*

Another quick update while I plug away at Osprey farm - the Fetilizer Production Facility - one of the many reasons the produce at Osprey farm grows so well.

Simply amazing.

They're OO scale stuff from Noch mostly. I reckon the scale difference doesn't really show given the range of pot sizes you can get. Those railway modellers always have such good stuff - if a bit overpiced.

Thank you :)

Oh no. I'm now going to have to make a toilet roll production facility for the fertilizer production facility. Will it ever end?
-
You don't make it, you hunt for it.
Like Haggis. only in very arid dry places because they are averse to water..
loo roll hunters/poachers and probably there's farmers or ranchers that keep and breed them.
they certainly wood not be found growing on trees. so your good. don't need a production facility, maybe a battery loo-roll farm or desert board but not a production facility..
oh and great work as always :D

The Mercedes van toilet is hilarious and ingenious, and of course finished with your consummate modelling and weathering skills.
You should document this entire project into a glossy coffee table book. I’m sure you’d find a publisher in the modelling press :)

Capt B. Love the idea, although I think I might need to finish enough of it first to claim I'd reached a goal. Board number 1 is nearly done and it's only taken about 5 years. Maybe I'll speed up!
On which note, a few more bits. Osprey Farm is almost done and I'm just finishing off the two owners, courtesy of some lovely Hasslefree miniatures.
Resident No. 1 is Mr Rusty, who left Gray Garden to experiment with his own horticultural wizardry. Miniature is Brother Vinni, plants are Noch with a couple of tweaks.

Thanks Ajax, the tarp is made from this stuff - soft metal foil. I love it. A bit thicker than kitchen foil and really easy to use. Then just painted it using Modelcolor canvas as the base.

Osprey Farm is now complete. Sadly it shares a space with another project which is next on the list, so please use your imagination to weather the next door building in the following photographs.
I should start by saying that I do know aircraft don't rust like this. But I like rust, so in my post apocalypse, they go rusty red. I also need to weather the baseboard, so if it looks too clean, that's because it is. That will change.
A little backstory. Osprey Farm was one of Junktown's earliest settlements. When food was scarce in the days after the war, they were one of the first to get growing effectively and worked out how to stop mole rats and other wasteland pests from eating everything - get above ground. Now days many of the circle of small settlements brought into Junktown's protective embrace provide most of the food, but 2nd generation owners Mace and Missy still provide to what passes for Junktown's elite.
Mace is the supreme herbologist, and he's particularly protective of his Chives, which rarely leave his side. Missy and Gray Garden Refugee Mr Rusty are the veg growers. Dogs Death and Taxes complete the family.
Hope you enjoy.

It is indeed sir, and I spent 7 years kicking mine before I managed to turn it into a farm.

That's ok then, I think mine's only be under there for about 5 (or so . . .). I think I had in mind to adorn it with some umbrella like decals
Very nice job on the farm and the whole project

The Bremer outhouse is pure gold! lol

I swear, you are brilliant. I love the absurdly simple conversion on Missy - I might steal that idea.

Again I am just in awe of your work :-*

Great stuff :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

I just don't get it.
Some people can do great work, a little bit at a time, like just one 28mm figure.
Some people can churn out lots of stuff, but of a 'wargaming' standard.
But YOU do both!!!!!!
Very high quality AND very high quantity.
I love it, I am also very envious. Well done on all of it.
P.S. If you ever do the coffee table book idea... It is going straight onto
my birthday, Christmas wish list.

Totally and utterly insane! Tons of detail, it all works perfectly together. Love it!!!

Looks amazing! So many small details in there, I don't know how you do it.

Excellent.

Thanks all for the wonderful comments. I think this is broadly the look I was going for so...success :D

Working on the unfinished building now. WIP shots to come soon I hope.

Ooops. I've been distracted by Fenris Games Paintalockdown competition so i'm taking a model I've had on the resin pile for AGES to try and crack it this week.
I'm going to turn it into one of Vaultec's numerous post blast exploration vehicles, held in the bays of vaults until the rad dust settles to go out and re-colonise the wasteland. This one is the Vaultec Ranger. As ever it fell into the bits box on the way to being photo'd. I'll add all the cargo straps on once some of the basics are painted.
And I must flag up the bike. A bit of a find on HLBS's site. Just wonderful model.

Back to the main board. The unfinished building next to Osprey Farm is going to be a temporary hotel for drifting wastelanders who have been drawn into Junktown's embrace. Like any PA town, Junktown needs fresh blood to stay strong, so it welcomes waifs and strays and gives them a place to stay, the Travelers' Rest, until they can find (or build) themselves a proper home.
I'm going for that grimey feel many Fallout hotels have, with threadbare mattresses and peeling walls. Here's a few WIPs.
Scratchbuilt bunkbed

A bit of a hostile hostel, as it were? :D

Damn, that's a great way to make the Plasticville stuff looking good outside AND inside. Never even tried to improve the interiors.

Hostile Hostel indeed! Keep your boots close and your guns closer still.
The walls are quite simple. I stuck some thin MDF bases on to add some thickness and imitate plaster board and then covered them with Crackle Paste. Waited till it dried and then picked some of it off with a scalpel. It's not perfect and I suspect salt and hairspray on plasticard would work just as well if not better, but I fancied giving it a try. Now I've just got to work out how to paint it.
-
First, plus one to all the plaudits. Again I am in awe.
Second, can you paint the wall first, add a different
colour to the crackle paste? That way you don't have to
worry about painting it.

Thanks Rick, high praise indeed - will try to live up to it.
Next bit of work on the Travelers' Rest. Undercoating done, which sort of ties it together. I'm going to contrast salt and hairsrpay on the outside with crackle paint on the inside and see how that works.
The bubbly look on the doors is masking fluid. Underneath they are see through, a look I hope to keep although I need to work out how to make them look cracked. Lots of detailing to do like covering up the Plasticville lugs in the corners, and adding more character to the floor, but you can see how things are developing. You've gotta love long weekends!

Cracking job!
-
Only issue on the doors is that they wouldn't be cracked - at least here in the us they are required to be safety glass, which means the moment they get hit, the entire piece fails and falls into bead-sized pieces. However, many stores now put a safety film on that keeps the entire piece together as a sheet, but the whole thing will be spiderwebbed.
Please don't ask me how I know that.
;D

Aye, that's a fair point. I think an effective spiderweb might be beyond me, now the door is in place (and glued so firmly that getting it out will probably break it). So either I don't do glass because it's a bit of a stretch to think they've lasted with all those waifs and strays, or I just make them REALLY dirty. One to ponder I think.

Spot on Sir!
Infact your Travellers Rest looks like some of the buildings I have worked-in over the years, and yes they were that rundown and ill maintained :o lol.
Love this thread!

My version of Fenris Games' lovely Marauder. I've painted it as a Vaultec Ranger - another of their post nculear-strike exploration vehicles. This one has clearly been in service for some time.

Oh I like that, is there any chance of taking a few pictures of it next to a mantic GCPS or a GW space marine or something, so I can get a feel for its general proportions?
If its not too much trouble, please.
Thanks

Eeek- you're right - forgot to dust it up! It's quite rusty but you can't see that because of the bright sun, but the tyres definitely need to be dirtier.

Damn! Hand't even noticed. Probably won't be able to stop seeing it now (starts wondering how strong the superglue is....)

It's so that when they are going in reverse to get away from the Super Mutant Suicider, they can get good traction from the front wheel drive, whereas normally they only worry about going forward with the rear wheel drive.
I'm a helper.

Thanks Admiral Benbow - that's a good kick to get my finger out and return to Junktown.
Finally made some progress on the Travelers' Rest. Now done the internal walls. The floor isn't finished yet and will have lots more dirt and staining. Interior detail is almost done but I offer up the bunkbed as a sign that things are coming.

I say it every time I know, but you really are the king of extreme weathering. Every surface differently distressed to perfection. You have a lot of superb techniques and I surmise you must have quite a lot of ‘product’ too :)
It’s almost an art form in its own right. Keep going!!!

As always, your work is utterly amazing.

A few bits of scatter for the interior. Almost there now but struggling with the outside walls. Used some decals and it's not really working.

It's a good point. Not sure it goes with the arid, sun-bleached aesthetic of Junktown on reflection. Maybe aging nuclear generators give off waves of cold?

Or those guys are so sick the sleeping bags will be used to bury them shortly...
Absolutely insane detailed weathering. The peeling paint is very realistic.
-
Just awesome work! I can't wait to see this project done is all set up.
-
I wouldn’t worry about the mummy bags being out of place - a lot of very dry, sun bleached placed get very cold at night. The thing that makes them sunny (lack of clouds) also means that there is nothing to trap heat near the ground overnight, so the temperature plummets.
Besides, if the mummy bag gets too warm you can always unzip it, or even sleep on top of it, but if you’re only carrying a light bag and it gets really cold you’re screwed (I’ve made that mistake myself and spent sleepless nights regretting my short-sightedness...). If you are only going to be carrying one piece of sleeping kit around, go for one with better insulation than you think you’ll need.
-
Haven’t commented for awhile...Fantastic,as always,so rich in details. Very inspiring for my own stuff :)

All true... I'd go on a landscape photography trip every year with my photography instructor colleague, usually to a National Park in a desert somewhere in the southwest USA and every time we would freeze our asses off at night and bake during the day :) I developed a running joke with him about it... always going to the desert to experience the cold :)

I keep thinking I'm doing OK with terrain and scatter.
Then I come here.
Your stuff is awesome.

True. My father (god bless him) was with the British 8th Army in North Africa WW2.
I commented once on some news reel footage, that showed guys in greatcoats, that I thought
it very odd in a desert! He said because the drop in temperature is so large you feel very
cold at night.

Fantastic group of accessories! The lockers are my favourite - they really do look so realistic.

Very nice indeed

Another quick update while I plug away at Osprey farm - the Fetilizer Production Facility - one of the many reasons the produce at Osprey farm grows so well.

Nearly done with this project. Been messing around with the exterior for a while because I can’t quite get the effect I’m after. Just going to go with what I’ve got now. Also got the last element, the hand/push carts, to the WIP stage. Hope to have the whole thing complete tomorrow. Yay bank holidays.

Excellent work. I haven't really even begun scatter stuff yet, but I feel like it really makes the game more immersive and awesome.

I like the handcarts. Not sure about the bright orange barricades - you thinking they are plastic that's still holding up? Doesn't have your usual grime to it...
I'm about to get going on some scatter terrain myself - just trying to finish some ww2 Italians first - but I need to get going on some street scatter, piles of refuse, old motorcycles, rough barricades, and such.

Yeah it's interesting. They are actually stippled with different coloured oranges to try and represent plastic fatigue, but it's not really showing. Done the washes now which helps a bit but, in simple terms, orange is a weathering bastard I think.
-
Oh, I can agree with that. Orange is a pain. Yellow is easier, and that's saying something.

It is. It may have been that your first photo washed out what you were doing. I like these much more.
Can I say it scares me a bit that you seem to value my opinion?
-
Opinions and feedback are invaluable. Normally the stuff I'm most pleased with has been as a result of a gentle nudge or comment from someone and this is no exception. The photo did wash things out a bit, but going back scaling up the effect definitely worked. Thank you!
-
Those hand carts are superb.
The barriers look a little odd to me, I think because the feet look lighter (this might be just the pic). I wold expect the feet, legs and bottom of the barriers to be the darkest parts.
-
I think the barriers look great but too clean perhaps? the plastic is sun bleached but also it doesn't look like it's used whereas all your other scenery has this amazing 'lived in' look which these don't quite seem to have yet.
Maybe tie the feet and the lower barrier together with some dust, grime and general gunk - I can't see a post apoc cleaning crew giving them too much love lol and those light areas just cry out for some tiny graffiti.
All that being said it feels wrong to criticise this you are producing way better stuff than I do and I love it.

Yep, you are all on to something here. Barriers still aren't quite right. More dirt. I've got a load of these so keen to find a good technique. Really grateful for the feedback.
-
Put the barriers on their own (small?) bases, then you can add clutter
around the 'feet'. Things like:- old newspapers, discarded tins, tumbling weed, ammo casings etc.
-
This has taken way too long but glad it's now done. Travelers' rest with removable roof and front. It will eventually tuck in alongside Osprey Farm and have a load of the farm stuff on the roof, but for now I'm showing it solo. The idea with most of my stuff is that it is configurable for different scenarios, so i can use this completely empty as an abandoned military building. I've learnt quite a bit doing this, and there are some bits I'll do differently next time round, particularly on the exterior, and I've had lots of great feedback and advice, so thank you very much for the interest.

Once again my mind is totally boggled.
Your stuff is spectacular; I keep thinking to try and emulate your style but:
1. I couldn't do such a good job.
2. Anything that even approached the look of your kit would make all my other stuff look awful and I would need to start everything from scratch.

Yes it is - exactly that set. Highly recommended, although not a cheap way of getting a few coats and suitcases. The coat hanging on the bunk bed is from the same set, as is the Indian Jones hat on one of the lockers and a couple of other bags.
-
Considering the preponderance of suitcases at train stations in Fallout 4 and 76, that's a right useful set.
So as to question 2 regarding the wind turbine, did you make that piece or get it somewhere?

Apologies, missed it. It’s scratchbuilt. Based on a Lego aircraft engine. Sprues, plasticard, Grandt line bolts and a few other parts from the bits box. Details back on pg 17 of this thread.

Working on another batch of Junktown vehicles. This is at least in part a guilt reduction move. I've bought another 16 or so resin vehicles in the last month so I have to manage the pile or it will swamp me.
So I am going to do the last of my Ramshackle Games Rheboks. This the first tracked one I've done - it will become 'Thing 5'. Another converted construction vehicle used by the Junktown Defence Force. I've added the odd tweak but it doesn't need much to be honest.
To go with it I'm making two Experimental Vehicles (XVs). The idea behind these is that they were technology test bed tanks used to play with new technology, designed and then left in some forgotten vault until salvaged by one the Junktown salvage crews. I've used Pig Iron Ironside/Ironshields for this as they already have a kind of Experimental look to my eye. By adding some bitz I'm trying to reinforce that and give myself an excuse to mix Sci-fi tech with modern US gear (Abrams/Humvees etc).
WIPs below - painting starts this weekend.

That last one just looks so hulkingly heavy and solid, like an engineering vehicle, Brilliant.
I can see variants of that with recovery cranes or something.

Thanks Grah. Ramshackle's Rheboks are perfect for Engineering vehicles - they are so solid.
Paint job developing on the XVs. I've done the first bit of basic blocking in and hairspray weathering. I'm trying to recreate the look of a US Baghdad Gun Truck, with loads of heavy, slightly rusty pig iron slabs of applique armour.

A bit of distraction form the XVs. I bought myself an airbrush for my birthday. Got quite a long way into this hobby before ever trying one (40 years or so). I needed something to have a play with so I had a go at finishing some Spectre Minis concrete walls I've had sitting around for ages. I'm carefully not showing the ones that make it obvious I've not used an airbrush before, but where it works, it works.

GM it's a Cult of Paint Infinity. Nice bit of gear and I am definitely a bit clumsy with it. Not much control yet but I can hide the worst with other techniques which I am more practiced at. Fun though, and I can see why many see it as an essential if you are doing a lot of painting.
And another batch of stuff done - the Experimental vehicles are now finished. I have deliberately gone for a very battered and jury-rigged look and I think the end result works quite well. The Pig Iron models do have a lovely blockiness to them.
Having a bit of fun with the kill markings.

Nice work on those barriers.

take it to an even higher level.

Amazing stuff as per usual.

As many of you have probably realised, I have this thing for bits. Not just endless, vacuum cleaner-clogging boxes of the stuff, but bits in my games too. They sort of go together. As an ex-military logistician I have a bit of a love for all the noise and back-up that makes things happen. That leads to sessions like this, where I make endless clutter, which has little other purpose than to, well, add clutter.
In this case it's heavy equipment for my Lady Scrappers Salvage Crew. More means of breaking into long forgotten vaults and extracting the goodies back to Junktown. Cutters, bots, boxes and...y'know, stuff.

Wow :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
Lovely use of bits
I would still love access to you bits box :D

Are you buying full kits to get this stash, or buying bits on eBay or other third party sites?
I'm impressed by the sheer variety of sources of the stuff you've packratted!

So far I have resisted buying full kits to 'salvage' with the exception of discounted lucky strikes like the Titan Forge stuff, which I got in a bundle. Mostly I just trawl ebay looking for left over sprues or job lots. Sometimes I pay a little too much for not much, but mostly I tend to get decent hauls. I work on the basis that if I have way too much of everything, when I need something specific, I'll have it. It's worked so far. That said I do also do specific bits buys from people like Puppetswar and Greenstuffworld for those extra special 'bits'.
-
You are an amazing phenomenon, your persistence and patience in collecting all these pieces is enviable!
You must be keeping some inventory written, I suppose, or... you just remember where you have stored everything?

Thank you, although I think it may be a little OCD. Mostly I rely on luck. I keep having to look through stuff to remind myself what I have and quite often, just after I build something, I find a better part I should have used. Nice problem to have though ;)

Been playing around with more bits and bots. Using Puppetswar's Steam Bots as a base, I've made myself some clanky proxy-Fallout bots.

I've been away from this thread for far too long. It's all totally amazing and very inspiring :-*
Since I'm dedicating my free time in lockdown to mainly doing terrain vehicles, I might just have to get back to some more post-apocalypse stuff.
-
Wonderful, inventive repurposing of the various parts. I am greatly enjoying your imaginative entries.

Where are you getting the treads for the 'bots? I didn't see a manufacturer if you name-dropped one.

Sorry Sinewgrab, missed this - tracked bots are based on GW Adeptus Mechanicus Kataphron and Titan Forge Thor Cannon.
Been absent for a bit (again) but have now got back into the groove. Finished the last of my Junktown Rheboks from Ramshackle Games. These form the core of the Junktown Defence Force's Quickish Reaction Force which soaks up the brunt of any attack, while the rest of the town gets their act together.
Also had a go at a couple of Modiphius FWW Mirelurks. Really nice models.

Ooo, nice job on those Mirelurks. I just painted some of those myself.

Nice vehicle and critters.

Meet Tinpot, Supermutant master mechanic and basher of all things metal. Really took to the Necromunda model when I first saw it but inevitably I saw supermutant where others saw Ogryn. Not a perfect fit in scale terms but then neither are most humans.

Was going to, but now I'm not so sure. A lot of my four legged critters are un-based because they don't need help standing and I now quite like the fact I can stand him on top of things!

Impressive! And first rate pictures once more!

In my little gaming world I have a vision of all of these factions fighting over long lost vaults for valuable scrap, launching their operations from Base Camps. Now mostly finished the first of those, for the Junktown Lady Scrapper faction. Looking to do a Vault Dweller one too, which will be a bit more high tech and sophisticated. In the post apocalyptic world, even vault dwellers raid other vaults.
So, piles of tech, safes and other goodies, plus the essential drills, breaching bots and boxes of supplies any good scrapper team needs.

Finished my Puppetswar robots. I've done them as Medi-Bots and Constructa-Bots, with a Fido-Matic for companionship. Junktown's resident Bot-whisperer keeps them all running and roving around town doing odd tasks to stop the place collapsing. As ever, they are ludicrously over-weathered, but that's what happens when you leave your bots out in the acid rain.

After a long absence I'm now back to Junktown with a couple of small updates. First I finally managed to finish Rig No4, the HUghes Industrial drilling rig looted by the Lady Scrappers and put to use drilling into Vaults for the treasure within.

In the film 'Broken Arrow' the baddie (John Travolta) turns to a henchman & says,
'Would you mind NOT shooting at the Nuclear device!'

That is a great addition to everything you have going on here. I mean drilling in to vaults for treasures is a great idea and can lead to some wild adventures.

Jawdropping stuff as usual.
Your work is on another level.

Very cool update. :o Nice to see you back.

Amazing work on the rig :-*

Such lovely rust! Great work.

Hi all, thanks for the kind comments on the Rig. Still working on another Lady Scrappers' vehicle but as ever I like to have a few things on the go at one time.
When GW first produced their Necromunda cops (Palanite Enforcers) I thought they looks like a good base for Fallout 4 style combat armoured troops. Taken me about 9 months to actually test that concept but having done so, I think it kinda works...
PMC heads added from Anvil Industries.
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52042411134_6eb8f33243_k.jpg)
I've also been trawling the 3D printer gang on ebay and Etsy and found a few treats of late. Given that much of Junktown is about finding and cracking into Vaults I thought the piece below was perfect for a small, high value vault that had been dragged out of the ground and is now waiting to be fought over in any 'dig site' scenario. I'll cover it in earth to give it a 'just dug up' feel.
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52042159231_a71493cf97_k.jpg)
The Vault comes from here.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224780658386 (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224780658386)

That vault is going to be a great interest in games as to what lies within.

Your photobucket is not posting any more.

Your photobucket is not posting any more.
Thanks Snitcy - are you talking about the really early pages? I hadn't gone back and updated them from Photobucket following their attempt at daylight robery a few years ago. Thanks for the prompt. Now working my way back through updating from Flickr where I can still find the original photos.
-
The kitbashed enforcers look really good; another idea stored for future reference ;)
And the vault is also pretty sweet. A very sueful piece of terrain and/or objective!
-
Thanks Snitcy - are you talking about the really early pages?
It was this one but you seem to have fixed it. Like the new vault.
-
That vault really gives off 'I probably shouldn't go in there...however...' vibes. It's going to look absolutely cracking once it's done, as will the troopers.
-
I know I'm just awful for performing threadnomancy, but I just wanted to suggest Wargames Atlantic Cannon Fodder bodies with Stargrave heads and arms to make Vault Dwellers. Well, definitely the arms as they have the bracers that make for good Pipboys. Heads, you might want to consider either the Stargrave heads or some Anvil Industry heads.
-
Well, it's only been since May last year that I did anything worth talking about in Junktown. How depressing is that. I've been shaking myself out of my hobby stupor and hope to head back into the wasteland.
As a starter for 10 I thought I'd see how many vehicles I had to paint. I think I may have a problem....

Absolutely love it 8)
-
Unbelievable work! :-*
Many, many congrats!!!
-
Nice to see you back.
I greatly admire your work :-*, though I couldn't emulate it. :(
-
That is amazing work! The sheer amount of detail is almost overwhelming. I’m really looking forward to seeing what you add next!
-
That is insanely awesome. One of the best post-Apoc boards I have ever seen. Pure genius! ☢️ 👏🏻
-
That is insanely awesome.
Indeed!
Love the broken windows.

Excellent set up. Just brilliant!

C'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas la guerre: c'est de la folie. :-* lol

Yes..yes it is indeed. But I'm a happy madman.
-
Most impressed with this board. Outstanding detail and very realistic paint all around. Bravo.
-
Very impressive work. I love your post-apocalypse world :-*
-
Super, that is just superb.
-
Amazing. Every time I look I see a new well thought out detail that I hadn't noticed before.
-
If there has ever been a wargame project which warrants a full-scale coffee table book, it is this.
-
Wow! Just amazing detail.
-
that is so unbelievable almost real :-* :-* :-*
-
That hanger set-up is indeed remarkable. I think my favorite bit is the hangar-queen Osprey...
-
Good grief man; I hadn't visited this thread for a bit but all of the components together result in a breathtaking piece of terrain!
A true thing of beauty! :-*
-
I just LOVE this! Fantastic! So many little details to enjoy... Is it its own board or does it fit into something larger?
-
Thanks all for the kind comments. nice to be back in the groove.

Too Bo Coo, it should be one of three - the Hanger Board, the Town centre board (which will be built around a Hercules) and the Gate and Junktown Wall Board - for which I've done some of the scenery but not the board itself.
The aim is also that I can use it for a number of different scenarios. At the moment I'm working on a couple of olf military buildings that I can combine with the hangar to make a home for my 'not-Talon Company' mercs, so it is both Junktown and one of Junktown's enemies for different games.

What a super project... Very very inspirational! When my mate and I were chatting about the game, I was telling him the basic setting I am going for in my post apocalyptic games. I really love the Mad Max vibe, so it's sort of not, immediately Day 1, but it's not 20 years in the future either. I think about 5-10 year area when nature has begun to reclaim uninhabited areas but before it's really overgrown. I grew up in a costal village that is notable for several reasons:
1. we have an Army Reverse base
2. an abandoned Nike missile site
3. a non-operational, but rods still in, commercial nuclear power plant
4. a Department of Energy laboratory, often called the American CERN.
5. and this is the cherry on top.... Nikola Tesla set up a lab here, it's here where his tower was built. Local lore has it that tunnels run under the site.
Except for the lab which is 3 miles away, every other site is within 1mile radius of each other. So I have lots of potential zombie causes and sites, and potential for lots of different groups. Lab People, military, towns folk, cops, etc.
Where I grew up, there are lots and lots of backyard and under house Cold War bunkers, some quite extensive.

Sounds awesome. I want to do something similar but I keep having to reality check myself about how much I can actually get done. I have a large set of the Tablescape city tiles which I want to use to build a bit of downtown Boston. I have all the necessary bits but it's so far down the list. One day...
-
That is an amazing board, live to see what is coming next!
-
Next item up is the Mutha-ship. The hub for my Lady-Scrappers team when out scouting for valuable junk. Designed to go with some of the bikers, bikers and buggies I've already done for that group. Final version will clearly have LOTS more stowage, which I'll add post painting.
I'm going to paint it black and white - like a Friesian cow!

Thanks Ajax, it's a 1/48 scale SCUD by ARII.
-
Thanks, clanmac !
-
As always, a joy to look at!
-
It already looks awesome. Looking forward to seeing your paint job on it.
-
Oh hell yes! That’s brilliant! And that version of the SCUD transport is probably much more effective than the original was ;)
-
Now that will be impressive.
-
Thanks Ajax, it's a 1/48 scale SCUD by ARII.
Thanks for the source! Hard to find affordable 1/48 and that's a great kit. Makes me think it'd be useful as a battle mech repair transporter. Would you be willing to measure the overall length sometime?
-
That's a great find. I'm looking forward to seeing the level of awesomeness your completed version will be :-*
-
That is brilliant in concept and execution. 👍
-
Looks great so far. Looking forward to seeing it finished!
-
Your imagination is more endless than your endless stored bits :)
I'm sure a new masterpiece will come out soon! Cheers!
-
That Vehicle is a great idea and well thought out too. Can't wait to see it finished.
You always inspire me with your work and its details.
-
That's going to be fantastic when it's all painted up!
-
:o I had to figure out my old login details to come back and comment on this thread
Amazing work. I've gleaned a lot of ideas and tips from reading through all 90+ pages, from your amazing rust effects to how transformative greebling can be to a relatively plain object. I've also discovered a bunch of manufacturers I was previously unaware of that offer some items I didn't know I wanted til now. My wallet weeps for the additions to my hobby shopping list as a result.
Your genius (madness? ;) ) is inspirational, and this thread is now bookmarked as a permanent hobby resource for me. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.
-
Just looking around.

Just looking around.
Aw! You got my hopes up that there were more lovely pictures to see. :?

Indeed ::)
Can't wait to see some paint on that huge muthatrucker... :D
-
That truck is awsome. I'm looking for something like that.
-
Yet another long hobby break - work and family stuff - but finally back in the chair and picking up the Mutha-ship and its assorted bits.
Firstly, Mutha-WIPs. Lots to do but moving quite fast.

Odd coincidence, I was thinking about this thread a day or two ago, wondering what was happening with the Muthaship. And here’s an update!
Very cool to see the progress, that’s going to be quite amazing. The smaller models are great, too.
-
Ooh, that rust is fantastic! Looking forward to seeing further progress!
-
Nice to see you back. :)
-
nice havin you back
-
Well worth the wait. Very cool. Loving the generator.
-
Welcome back.
Excellent work as always - though I did wonder why anyone would want a generator of fallout ^__^.
-
Brilliant weathering! 👍
-
A couple of quick progress pics on the Muthaship. Washes and powders next.

That's fantastic! Put that on a table, and even if it doesn't move, people are going to flock to play in that game...

That does look magnificent!
The only thing I would critique is the hydraulic cylinders - the inner rod would never be painted, at least along the part that travels into the cylinder. Those rods would also never be rusted on a machine where the hydraulics are in working condition. The reason for no paint and no rust is that the seals on a hydraulic system have to be rigid and very tight, but the rod has to be able to move, even a layer of paint (and most surface corrosion, the alloys used tend to be very corrosion resistant anyway) will just be peeled off when the cylinder retracts. If the seal isn’t that tight, the cylinder will leak hydraulic fluid (which is under a lot of pressure) and the system won’t keep working (it needs to be a closed loop). I grew up around heavy equipment and no matter how filthy the rest of the machine gets, the rods on the hydraulic cylinders are always pristine when they’re extended.
I wouldn’t change the paint on the Muthaship’s hydraulics unless it’s easy to do, just mentioning it in case you wanted to take it into account on future models.

Thanks PM it’s a good point of detail. Now you’ve mentioned it I think I’ll have to fix it. Can’t unsee it! Technical expertise always welcome!

I’m happy that you found the factoid helpful! Your set of linked projects in this thread is inspirational!

Very impressive.

I just thought you hadn't gotten around to it, tbh. Looks great so far, I'll love to see it finished when it's ready.

Damn, should have used that excuse!! lol lol lol I have now fixed it.
It's almost done. Should post the final piece this weekend
-
Very much looking forward to seeing it completed! I keep hoping for the announcement of a large glossy book based on pics of your models, “A Walking Tour of Junktown”. Until then, I’ll keep going back a few times a year through the earlier parts of this thread.
-
Excellent 8)

A few first pics of the completed Muthaship. Didn't catch the best light so I will try and get some better ones, but these are kinda atmospheric.
Thanks again to Pattus Magnus for the hydraulics spot.

-
Daaaamn! That is incredible! Every pic has so many details to enjoy. I like the cardboard boxes, you just don’t see those very often in modern, post-apocalyptic, or sci-fi gaming bits.
(I’m glad the info about hydraulic cylinders was helpful. Those parts look just right now!)
-
Wow that looks amazing. A home on wheels, what a rig.
My eyes were captured by the cardboard boxes. I tried some myself but gave up as they were near impossible to fold at scale on card stock. They look perfect! What GSM stock did you use?
-
Thanks all for the kind comments

I hate to say it...but that's a paint job. It's a single piece of resin. Made by Skytrex and painted using Modelcolour khaki.

Inspirational as always mate 8)

Lovely, great piece of work.
-
So good to see activity on this mega-thread again - the Muthaship is amazing, so much detail and interest, without being too much or overwhelming the whole build. Perfection.
The whole thread is just packed with cool stuff and is super inspirational - time I went and trawled through it all from the beginning again! (I've lurked around for quite a while!).
-
Brilliant work! That piece is a character in itself, begging to be a key element of a narrative game. Heck, I want to watch a movie oe tv show with that beast on wheels in it.
-
Amazing!! :o :o
I want to be the one to push this thread over the 100 mark... lol

Lovely work on the muthaship build. There's so many details to admire, in addition to the sheer scale of the thing. :-*
-
Fwoar! She's a beaut! :o
-
Fantastic. Your stuff is on another level.
-
Wonderful! :-*
A home away from home indeed. A second hand SCUD launcher vehicle could well make the ultimate camper. Just don't expect to park downtown... lol
-
This thread is incredible...8 years running! Cheers!
It's both inspiring and intimidating. ha! It definitely makes me want to expand my own little post-apoc setting, but my work pales compared to the fantastic talent posted here. Keep it coming!!
-
Wow! That Muthaship is amazing. So much detail, but it all looks useful and right. Must start at the beginning of the thread at some point.
-
Just took a look at the Muthaship itself. The model looks like a modded SCUD carrier. I had one myself at one time. Good choice.
All of the little scatter details, that makes a huge difference in upping the realism for your games and models - well done here and well worth emulating.
The tires - start off a dark brown color, and are washed (not dry-brushed) with a dark honey tan. This simulates the dirt that gets into tires when driving off-road. Water and mud get into the crevasses and dry there, giving this kind of look. Dry-brushing is OK if your vehicle sticks to the roads, but in a PA setting you'll want to do just like this one here. Color very dark brown, wash thoroughly with dark honey tan, let it dry. Then maybe, only maybe dry-brush here and there with a very dark grey, and only lightly! Maybe hit the tire outer corners with a light tan.
The rusted, pitted paint - man, you know what you're doing. The best place to find out how vehicles age in nature is to go out and look at some! Go to a junkyard and check out the rusty junkers. If you're lucky to have abandoned military vehicles in your area, go take some photos! If you're not, look online to see where the dark parts flake off, where the shinier or greasier wear marks are, and in this case, the overall pitting effect that old paint has if it's been sitting rusting in the yard for years. I'm guessing but this looks like the salt rust method, which works very well on plastic models. Anyhow, well executed.
All you young bucks take a good look. Make your stuff look like this and draw 'em in to your game!

Thanks very much KD47. I must confess the wheels were made easier by the fact the model came with rubber tyres. That meant I didn't need to paint them brown. Just two washes, brown and then the tan/khaki for sand. And you're right, the main body is salt and hairspray with a few touch-ups using the sponge rust technique (red brown, dark brown and grey-black).
This thread is incredible...8 years running! Cheers!
I had to go back and check this - 8 years! Damn. I'd lost track of time. I guess it's kept me off the streets and out of jail.
Working on a few more bits of the Lady Scrapper base camp and trying to finish another long overdue project - the Big Green Marine Sound Machine. Another Lady Scrappers' vehicle based on an AAVP-7. More pics soon I hope.

Just astonishing. The biggest takeaway I've seen is the value of persistence. While life got in the way, you kept plugging along. Amazing, amazing job.

Well, life got in the way again. But, with thanks to BlackMetallic for the kind words, back to plugging along.
I’ve been working on some supplies and salvage for the Muthaship. Much more to come, but take this as proof of life…

Glad to see that you are still plugging along. This whole thread is still some of the nicest work that I have ever seen. New details always seem to appear when looking back at the photos.

Be thankful it's not a bloody, severed, finger received in the post.
Good to see you are plugging away again. It has always been a joy to view this thread. Admittedly, having missed out on picking up an ARII Scud launcher I was a bit saddened at the fate of yours.

Aye, sorry about that. Not the first time my love of butchering things for the sake of the Apocaypse has created sadness. In fact I think some members of the Matchbox and Dinky collectors clubs would happily sever all of my fingers.
-
Very happy to see an update and I am looking forward to more. The Dinky and Matchbox collectors will just have to learn to live with it - scale models are meant to become gaming pieces, it’s the natural order. Similar thing with model railroad supplies and Christmas ornaments, their highest calling is to be repurposed at gaming terrain.

Nah, I've happily messed around with old 'collectibles' and happily binned the 'near mint' packaging they seem so obsessed with. lol
It's a toy, it was meant to be played with.

Add to the list, people who buy candles, but never light them !!! :o
You keep on doing your excellent work.
The 'collectors' should thank you for making their 'treasure' that much rarer. :D

The scrap looks great! It reminds me of bits and pieces that used to be in the workshop when I was a kid. It seemed like junk at the time- I didn’t realize it would be the equivalent of a small fortune after the apocalypse!
-
And the next little bit - the Muthaship's mobile fuel depot (and other useful chemicals).

Grand work! Suitably grubby.

The deckchair is brilliant!
-
The chair is very cool, isn’t it? I fondly(?) remember those at my grandparents’ house when I was a kid in the ‘80s. The plastic strapping on the seats would fatigue and eventually disintegrate - usually when someone sat on them.
-
The deckchair is brilliant!
Thanks all, the deckchair is from EC3D - a 3D print from their Beyond the Badlands Kickstarter. Sadly most UK 3D printing companies only do a fraction of the range, but I bagged this and a few other bits which are almost complete.
-
Cool. I'm so impressed with your skills I was quite happy to accept you had scratch built that with a paper clip and some modelling putty. Either way it's a great bit of kit.
-
very nice additions :-*

Hey, I think I still have a couple of deck chairs like that! Lovely paint jobs, keep it up!
