Back on a Zombie kick, so have painted up this Plasticville building as a gun shop to add to the town. Proud owner Walter Willis is pictured.

Lots more pics here:

The road range is CNC Workshop

http://www.miniaturescenery.com/DataPage.asp?Code=BGNDURB

I picked up about a dozen or so tiles on ebay for about £20 a while ago.

I've experimented with loads of other options: Ainsty pavements and black baseboards; sandpaper roads, a bit too abrasive. The CNC is OK. The depth is nice, but there's little detail on the drains and the pavements aren't quite deep enough for my liking. The angled corner is probably a bit too futuristic for a modern setting, but they work fairly well overall. I gravelled all the roads a couple of times, basecoated black then grey, then did the pavements and roads with Citadel Foundations paints and weathered with inks and washes, mainly applied with sponge.

The building in the background is made from Ainsty Front street pieces, with each level fixed to cardboard so they are stackable and modular, I've made a few of these at various levels.

Does the roof lift off the gunshop? Looks excellent by the way.

Yeah - the roof comes off - I still need to detail the interior, once I can pick up some more plasticard.

Top notch stuff.

Very atmospheric Uti.

I love the signage for the store. You printed that from your computer? This is "O" gauge plasticville right?

Sets the scene very nicely.

Cheers!

Kid - yeah the signs are homegrown. The background image is 'liberated' from the web and then liberally adapted using Photoshop\Indesign and printed. Then scrunched up, torn, chewed and generally abused with inks and washes.

It was a great job, that's what really makes the plasticville building come alive.

Nice building!

Kewl album!

BTW - Any tips on interior modern weapons racks to help dress the inside?

kidterminal · « **Reply #14 on:** July 18, 2009, 07:32:31 PM »

You could buy the reaper 20th century or modern weapons packs and mount them on a piece of plasticard "pegboard" style.
