Haha, I love them

[War In 15MM]

Great stuff!

[Mason]

I see the slander of poor innocent droids continues......
 


Thanks for the comments, chaps.
Much appreciated.
 

I have taken a step aside from working on the figures for a while to get some buildings done, beginning in a rather unusual fashion.
Pictures paint a thousand words, and all that, so expect a short essay later....

As threatened earlier, here is the start of the buildings, working from the top down.....








I am starting with the rooftops for several reasons...

Firstly, these are the most commonly seen parts of a building whilst playing a game, so I wanted to try and make them as 'interesting' as possible so I will be utilising a whole bunch of stuff to detail them.

The main area is covered by using the 'sides' of the GW Containers as I have a few of these donated to the cause by Legionnaire Bert (and have since ordered a few more when I can find them at a good price, so if anyone reading this has any still on sprue that they are willing to part with at a sensible price please give me a shout  ) as they cover a large area and will help create a 'standard' look whilst the other, smaller detail will help differentiate them.

Other parts include the GW pipes (which will be more extensively utilised later) and various other resin 'bits' from the bits box from Ainsty, OSHIRO and other unknown sources.
I have a fair stash of these so I can do quite a few rooftops this way.

The whole thing has been finished in a kind of tarnished bronze effect using the GW technical paint (but not in the ridiculously wasteful way that they recommend, by the way!) on top of a standard bronze coat underneath.

I have a few more roofs to do before moving on to the rest of the buildings, including a very useful source of 'parts' which will be covered later when they have been finished.

Amazing!

[Oldben1]

Cool stuff!

[OSHIROmodels]

They'll do 

[GDonk]

Ah - that's what you had in mind for them - I like it, very much. GDonk

[Jagannath]

Great idea - those have come out really nicely.

[Mason]

Thanks, chaps.

I have plans for the rest of the parts too, but that will have to wait until I move down from the rooftops.
 

[Suber]

Dammit, those look really nice!

[Genghis]

Inspired use of the GW Space ISOs.

[Mason]

Thanks, chaps.
Much appreciated.
 

I got a bit more done earlier, with two more buildings in the works.
Hopefully I can get them to a stage where pictures will be worthwhile tomorrow.

Better late than never.....



They still need their sides detailing and doors put on, as well as baseboards adding before they can be attacked with the brush but that will not be too long, I hope.

Also, being that they based on three tins is an added bonus...
 

[Suber]

I can't believe that . You are a genius.
