The color scheme certainly helps it feel cobbled together. Glad the Brothers will have a place to bro out lol

Latest project is a Bar & Grill, so the Jones brothers have a place to eat and drink because niether one can cook worth a darn.

Front and Back.





The beginnings of a greasy kitchen



The Bar area.



And a spot to sit and enjoy a meal.



These pictures were taken a day or so back, more details have been added and now it's just waiting to be painted.

Do you “seal” the surfaces with Mod Podge (or similar) before painting?

No, I seal it all with a clear matte finish after it's  all finish.

If I feel like I need to coat it, I use clear water base Polycrylic  from Minwax  it drys fast and very thin with out build up that you might get with Mod Podge and because it drys so thin less likely to see brush  strokes

Does the Minwax Polycrilic tend to yellow with time?

No, you have to get the "Water Base" Min wax Polycrilic, the stuff is like painting with milk, we have furniture  that we have refinished  with it and has stayed clear for years, like to use it on some of my minis that I feel will get a lot of use, just one lite coat then do a matte finish  afterwards.

Great stuff, I love watching these WIPs!

Your (and CookAndrewB's) terrain style is quite different from mine. You are working with playable interiors, while I'm geared toward set dressing. Your style makes me think of X-Com, while mine is more Red Alert 2 (or perhaps Desperados - Wanted dead or alive).

Thank You Ockman, your shipping  container colony is what inspired me and CookAndrewB's  work did too, so I just put the two together. :D

That is a great restaurant! Wonderful playable interior. Your cabinets and such really look terrific. I gotta get back to finishing the interior details of some of my buildings. I have a 28mm post apoc game set up and waiting for me to play, and then I am kicking back over to 15mm sci-fi. I clearly need to catch up to you! lol

Inspiring stuff (again!) Now you need to find some alien musicians to play there and help draw the customers in.  :D

Thank You to all of you, I just started to paint it last night, I hope to have it done soon.

Burmmie, thanks for the idea, I have a Night Club of sorts all planned  out, now I'll  have to go back and add a stage, of course  the building's  construction  will be different  the the container ones.

But next up is a general  store, one has to have a place to by their supplies from!

AH! That is what my town is missing... the store. Though I have a different idea for that. :)
