Excellent. I like the "been attacked" look to everything. It has been under fire but not overdone which is too easy to do.

I am curious about the black (dark) car. It has the look of generic 1960s to early '70s. Is that one of your doing, a metal casting or?? In any case a bunch of them for some imaginations back water location would do great. Thank you.

Thank you! Yes, the damage in 6mm is easily brought to the "heavy armor attack" point which is too much. In fact, most of the "light" dents should represent the damage concrete gets just by being there. No weapon, just machinery moving and making mistakes over the years.
As for the damages on the railings: i realized some of the parts were too thin, and they broke when i was cleaning the silos. I guess i used that to my advantage.

The car is something i made about a year ago, and was modelled following the design of the Trabant. Ended up more like a Lada, which is pretty similar anyways. :)

Just a quick update regarding the terrain. I made containers (the ones included in the piece in the last page - but improved a bit) and i'm now casting several in resin. Ideally, the next step terrain-wise would be to make a containers field!



More juicy stuff after the weekend, hopefully!

Just to keep on with the terrain stuff, here's a second block of industrial silos.



The building in there is from a kit sold by Vanguard Miniatures that I sculpted a few years ago. I'm glad I can finally put the pieces to some use now!
Other than that, pretty standard aliexpress light poles and cars, and everything else done by myself!



C&C welcome, do post your ideas for the next pieces!

Cheers,
Jack

Thank you all! :)

I just need to find the strength to make some more fencing and additional details for the next pieces!

Aaaaand... something big is now ready!
Starting from the usual plaster block, i used a set from Vanguard Miniatures that I sculpted a few years ago and detailed it with loads of new printed pieces and such.



Here some "skyline shots"





...and some top views as well.





Some details:





C&C welcome, and if you have suggestions, do shoot!

Astonished! My meagre, tardy efforts pale by comparison.

Don't despair! it's mostly a matter of composition, putting the stuff in the position that looks best! :)

erm... do you have a backup question?
Seriously though, UV resin tends to crumble if left to the light for too long, so that's a good motivation to start painting them soon!

I think it might be time to put some paint on these.
When i finish a bunch of commissions i might also start working back with the robots too!
