Mogadishu Shanty rebuild 28mm Hammerhead

Decided i did'nt like the shanty town i did a few year ago, so i filled up my bin and began building a new one, took me 4 days to create the two and these are ready for the Hammerhead show game on the 5th March.

First buildings, foamboard walls and textured with clay and sharp sand and some bird sand mixed up.

Bit different, i wanted a smelly walkway through the place,it looks dirty and the water running down the center adds to give it that it stinks of piss and god knows what.

Round the corner, i clean the dirt up for you, anyway the urine is made from magic water effect, fantasic stuff and goes along way, it does not discolour or show any bubbles, i just mixed it up and poured out to where i wanted it to go.

Rusty iron fence is from a railway shop, i cut it up abit, the corrugated sheet look is cardboard, i bent it and give it some damage, i don't want this place to look to cosy.

Above shot, you can get a better look at the corrugated sheets, i cut and ran a screwdriver across them to give the look of the crap, throw anything on top who cares.

Ok onto shanty building number two, muggers paradise, i put planking down the walkway for this one because you really don't want to step into the muck.

I think the beauty of these two shanty buildings is you can space them apart a few inches and create say a humvee  coming down the alleyway.

I overlap the building over the wall on this one and put a window in because if i lived in this place i would be at the window all the time for fresh air supply, i put iron bars on the inside.

The pallet is made from lollypop stick, the rust look is brass mix up with dark brown and highlighted with orange, all weathering is PVA mix with black and 50% water, this was painted on the cuts and rust and also create the shadows.

From above you can see the weathered look better, "this is my crib, now get the hell outta here"

My thoughts exactly!

@Nevermore: Awesome work there mate, looking forward to more - I will be at Salute'16 , will the Mog be there?

I like how you've implemented the muck and grime of the piss-alleys - I've spend waaay to much time sneaking around in that sort of enviroment back in the day, though that was in Al-Qurna, Iraq.

As it were, I've now added about 8+ Shanty/Favela terrain pieces to my build list -  Thanks Obama!

Also for some cool inspiration into this type of terrain - I recommend the games "Dying Light" and "Far Cry 3".

...Awesome work, just awesome!

Well ground floor is underway at the moment all 28mm of course, looking good so far and I think 4 days of building the hotel and it will properly be done, looking at dying light and Mogadishu I need to build walls around it. Also in the middle of making desert boards for the Mogadishu setup and it's looking really good, got carried away and began building a oasis to fight over, will get these up as me and my mate finish the boards

Great work: I especially love the colours on the concrete (?) wall.
