Zona Britaniya

Great backstory....love the ship

That's looking really good. I keep musing over that ship, whether I'd get enough use out of it?

[Spinal Tap]

Thanks guys.

Any ideas on a paint scheme?

Was thinking black blue and creamy white - all extremely rusted, of course.

I'm undecided on wintering the ship as well; covering it in snow will limit it useability in other games.

Hello Graham (it's Mark W A from Sellswords) - as above, I think if I don't heavily winterise it then it can get some good use.

Hi Mark,
I really like what you are doing on this project.

I'm not sure about the ship because I'd want to use it for late 19th and early 20th century (plus VSF gaming) and I'm probably be better off with a steam vessel.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

That looks good.

It might prompt me to assemble mine.

[Spinal Tap]

Planned to take the ship outside, get it masked up and primed over the course of the day so I could get on with the painting at leisure over the next week.

Wind and rain put paid to that so I decided to work on a few mutations.

Have had these three cheap plastic pieces from Arena of the Planeswalkers for a while so thought I'd have a stab at at making them look decent.

Reckon they will do for loads of other games as well but based for Zona Britaniya's icy wastes.

I like those mutant land shrimp. Reminds me of District 9

Didn't sleep well so was up at 05.00hrs, took the dog for a walk then decided to paint up some Zone Hostiles I'd assembled and primed a couple of days ago.

These are Games Workshop Cursemites, got 8 from a chap on Ebay for £7 delivered which I thought was a deal.

Really easy to paint, only took 2 hours for all 8 including the bases.

Gave up waiting for the rain to stop to prime the ship and got on with it by brush. Hard work and the sun came out part way through

Painted up and weathered, not sure whether to give it another wash to blend stuff in , leave as is or winterise for the Zone.

Only thing putting me off adding ice and snow effects is it will limit when I can use it.

There's still 8 containers to build from the kit though it's unlikely I''l want to use many of them - have plans to put furniture inside and various habitation and defence options on the deck.

Will keep everything modular I think so I can mix and match as desired.



Flickr has deleted the file of images for this post  for some reason (possibly me) - there are pictures of the ship in a more complete state later in the thread.

[Spinal Tap]

Darkened cabin and bridge.

As the post above regarding the images.

[Dentatus]

Very nice. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished piece.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Nice painting.

[Grumpy Gnome]

Great work! I love the weathering effects on the ship and your beasties look the part.

Love these! Good find/repurpose.
