Gunbirds S.T.A.L.K.E.R. project (17/8 - Crossed out)

Yes, very nicely done.  You've put more effort into detailing than I did with mine.  I did the same as you with the brick pillars, changed them into posts.

It looks fantastic, love the details.

You stalkerized it very nicely!

Great minds think alike?

More progress. Currently cut 95% of the parts and slowly building up 5 metres of barrier fence for the project. I'm keeping the 25cm sections as clean as possible and will add variety with the 10cm sections, think broken parts, warning singns etc. I just realised I'm missing 4x 135 degree corners so I've put those on the list when I grab the saw again.

1 metre sure doesn't look like much.





But progress is progress.

Wow...those look incredible!    But yeah, fenced compounds eat up space on the tabletop...!

Last week built 2 more buildings, added some minor details and after giving them a good coat of primer started adding color today. Now all packed up, most likely no time for them till the weekend, but progress is progress!

Those look quite good already, especially the detailing. I like the discoloration along the bottoms of the doors, a nice touch.

I get that a lot Maybe I should just do Modern gaming, less work, but I'm addicted to Post Apoc sceneryfor some reason and like to go the extra mile

The two overlap more than I'm comfortable with these days...

Hi Gunbird lovely work as always!
I used to love seeing your 20mm projects on the guild site.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Very nice.

[Gunbird]

Thx guys

Had a nice lazy painting afternoon with my girls, they painted a Space Marine (in my defence, they got them for free) and some Doplhins, and I made some good progress on the first Industrial sidebuilding. Still need to do the brickwork, add a doorknob, and find something to plaster on the giant blank spaces on the back and left.

Nice work on the Space Marines - looks like a new chapter. 

The weathering is great. Looks like a long abandoned building.

[Gunbird]

Onwards....almost finished building (not painting) the fences. Another metre to go, then clean up all the sides and start basing, painting and tufting. I'm in it for the long haul (preferably before the end of this year).

Was sorting stuff after dropping the kids off at school and found a built and broke Sarissa Precision mobile flight control thingie....stuff?
A few moves ago it was crushed and all of the wheels and suspension snapped off.  Shit happens.

But, after cleaning up the box and grabbing a bit of paper....
 

....I have myself a plan for the weekend. After picking up the kids from school I decided to grab the tablesaw and foamcutter, an after some cutting and sanding I have the basics for a abandoned ramschackle flight control tower on a concrete base. I've tried out my polyurthane builders glue for the first time to see if it works as good as it promisses, but that has a 24 hour curing time. Tomorrow I'll rab some time to cut and sand the planks, build the steel doors to the cellar...bunker...whatever, and strip the wires for the exposed rebar on the (not visible in the photo) side. And find 2 suitable vents and maybe a light, and get some tin wire for the electrical connections.

Et voila, the start of a new POI
