Minor update….plastered the walls and added some roof vents.  Once the plaster work is dry, I will sand it a little, then add some stonework around the windows with green stuff….if I can find it!




Edit:



A little detailing.    The lights are from a miscast print.   Really I just need to find some pin heads for the door rivets, add planking to the side doors and do the stonework about the arches then paint it.

That warehouse is an awesome treatment of a very basic MDF shell.

You might want to consider a few details on those very flat looking skylights - just some thin wood or styrene around the frames would give them a bit of detailing.

Looking forward to seeing how this dockyard setup evolves, it sounds ambitious!

Good tip yes, they definitely need something……I will have a tinker, cheers.

Most of the dock should be straight forward…..I just need a think on how to represent the front of the sub pen…..


Edit:

Yup, looks better!

David, if you are only going to use it for Commando raids on the Sub pens...
dry brush it grey & leave it at that.

Cheers guys for the comments.   It will be a little more colourful maybe as it will be used in a more rural setting too in our other games.  Maybe grey with green woodwork would work?

Cheers…we’ll here it is.

I still need to dream up an appropriate sign to pop on the front gable end, but that will come to me eventually I’m sure.

This will fit in nicely with my rural games too, so quite chuffed.
