Ruined industrial/apocalyptic terrain

[Cypher226]

Now I've finally figured out this Imgur business, I can start actually contributing to this forum again!

I've been working on a derelict industrial table (mainly for 40k/necromunda/kill team) on and off for a while, and I've now decided it's time to make it useful for other games, including This is Not A Test, SLA Industries: Cannibal Sector 1, and my work in progress Morrow Project/Twilight 2k skirmishes.





This is the ruined workshop from Tiny Terrain's first Chechnya kickstarter a couple of years back, based on a placemat. Anvil Industry guardsman for scale.

Next step will be to build up the rubble piles using Luke's APS modeling compound and grit it up.

Part two - thanks for the views 

I've now bulked out the rubble piles and started adding further details - a few bricks, some mangled metalwork etc. I also had some compound left over so quickly dug out a plaster ruin from an old Ral Partha range and based it up on some foamex, then blended it in;









Gravel, ballast etc to add next. I'll hopefully get to that tomorrow evening, when the modelling compound should be dry!

Looks promising

Good start.

[Sinewgrab]

I like it.  The building looks good.

[Cypher226]

Thanks for the encouragement chaps!

I was hoping to make a bit more progress this evening but the modeling compound is still wet!

I've been rummaging through the supplies though and have found a nice sheet of corrugated card, which will make some panels for the roof.

Looks like a great start! When you say "modeling compound" what is that?

It's a bit like sculptamold - it's basically fine casting plaster mixed with shredded toilet paper (advanced papier machè, really), sold by Geek Gaming. I picked up a kilo to try out before deciding if I wanted to go to the effort of making my own.

Anyway, progress:




I've hit this one with a quick coat of poundshop grey car primer, then given it a wash of watercolour black. Then a vet quick couple of drybrushes of GW Celestra Grey to bring the details out.

I've done it in this order (not adding sand etc yet) as I've got a pack of the Geek Gaming 'base ready' wasteland basing material I want to try.

Got to run out to the shops, then I'll hit it up with some pva and basing and we'll see how it looks...

A promising start - keep going

The basing needs a coat of scenic cement when it's dry, thaat should tone the colour down a bit, then I'll add a few tufts. I am debating if it needs a bit of colour somewhere, some grafitti or worn posters?

[AKULA]

Looks great!

a torn/faded poster on the wall, and maybe something bright...empty drinks can...ammo box etc on the ground, just to break it up a bit?

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Nice work.

And I agree with AKULA.

[War Monkey]

Very nice work! How big of an area do you plan on covering?

Really hoping to see more of your work

Digging through the stash I happened across a box of 1:48 stowage (tamiya jerry can set, to be exact). I think one or two in a nice bright rusty colour should set it off nicely. I've got to pull out the laptop in a min so will have a root through my folder of old posters as well.

Planning roughly 3' square. I've already got a lot of the storage tanks and pipelines etc done, I just need more in the way of linear cover.

(slight) further progress :


Added a coat of ready mixed filler out of a tube and dabbed at it to add a little surface texture. Hopefully this will also hide the joins. I appear to have misplaced the pieces to cover the tops of the columns, annoyingly.

Also threw a base coat on this:






Wasteland settler's cabin. One of Sarissa's French & Indian wars lot, iirc, with corrugated plastic for the roofing and a scotia grendal container at the side to modernise it a bit. No interior other than what's on the kit - there's not a lot of room inside!

Next up is to get a primer coat on the workshop and see what it needs in terms of detail painting. Aiming to get a couple of the intact industrial units from sarissa tomorrow at Barrage - and possibly a couple of retail units.

Ciao for now!

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Good work.

Great idea for the settler's cabin.
