Some mindless vandalism before bed

Nice you vandal

OSHIROmodels · « **Reply #257 on:** March 03, 2020, 08:25:35 PM »

Why, thank you

Coming to a street near you

Got a bit of weathering done, some air con and a bit of work on the roof done. Still quite a few details to go before it's finished though.

I've also had an idea to do a central reservation with some greenery and trees on it. It'll save having to finish off the expressway for a game so I'm a lot closer to actually being able to play on it all

It is looking magnificent

Looks good

What do you use to weather? I'm guessing acrylics, I tend to pile on oils (which are ancient),probably to not much effect

Thanks gents

Yes, a mix of GW inks and Foundry and craft paints. I’ve got various mixes of them.

I’ve also got a rust ink mixed up and I quite often use pastels.

Oooh...only just noticed your cardboard boxes - easily distracted by the overall wonderfulness.

I'm really hoping you're going to point me at a website or gogle image, but...I'm assuming you printed those yourself in photoshop or something?

Loving the detail

Same question about the amazon boxes?

aliensurfer · « **Reply #263 on:** March 04, 2020, 12:07:42 AM »

Very impressive, are the interiors of each floor playable on or is it a once piece (cant take roof/floors off)?

Cheers

The boxes were freebies from the net scaled in autocad. Just search for model boxes or some such and you’ll find them. I got these years ago and haven’t a clue as to where. I do remember there were more on the site but I didn’t get them.

The green building has removable floors (and some of the others in the same style do as well). It’s not practical for games though so the intention is to have print outs on the sidelines that figures could be placed on. Gun ranges would be measured from the actual windows if shooting from the buildings.

Woah, it's huge! Love it man. Great layout and the garage is such a smart idea. It gives some nice ways of sticking to cover or out of line of sight and adds a lot of visual detail too.

Maybe by 'Tommygun' (that was his forum's handle elsewhere AFAIK)? That was where I got them at least.

Might have to maybe share since no one can remember. ;-)

This is looking outstanding. Very realistic looking finishing.

Thanks chaps

No, it was on a Japanese railway modellers forum that I stumbled across by pure chance. Forgot to bookmark though as I thought ‘I’ll have a look again tomorrow’ but that was a couple of years ago

It’s nearly done. Just adding and finishing bits here and there. I’ll do another dodgy video when it is done though.

mcfonz · « **Reply #269 on:** March 17, 2020, 11:07:23 PM »

I literally downloaded them a little while ago I think. I'll have a look see if I can find the site in my history.
