Nice work, the rust effects are great.

I hope you feel better soon.

Sorry to hear you aren’t feeling great.

The weathering/rust is excellent, particularly love the billboard.

Maybe for a bit more variety add a few scraps of tarpaulin onto some of the roof tops (tissue paper soaked with glue?)

Thx guys, appreciated.

Akula, that is the plan, I (stupidly) grabbed smooth toiletpaper as I only have wat overtexttured tissues at home....but I forgor toiletpaper is meant to dissolve in water....oops! So that went nowhere. As soon as I have finished painting what I have built now I'll do one with a cheap paper tissue brand ....that won't dissolve, I hope.

BIG shack done, kept as non descript as possible. Nearing the end of my to do list for shacks, time to do something else for a bit. Enjoy!.

Lovely touches, the official signs, the unofficial signs, the roller 'garage' door that is
at an angle, & all the other little bits.
Well done.

That's another awesome looking structure. It's really quite the collection now.

Looks really good...rust effects are excellent.

The corrugated look is spot on. Shipping containers have similar profiles and are perhaps a useful extension to the shanty.
They should be easy to make with an angle of cars or plasticard along the edges and some simple doors.

It just gets better and better.

Lovely work on the rust, but for me it’s the extra details like the posters that really make it pop

Recycled a H0 scale window in this build (used and abused H0 stuff is pretty cheap stuff and tends to have a lot of things I can recycle) and a quick tarp test, nothing super duper, but very functional. Scratch another shack off of the list. Now to take a short break to do other stuff and then back again to AK-47.

These look great! This is quite the tabletop you are creating. Any game on it will look amazing...
