Gunbirds S.T.A.L.K.E.R. project (28-4 Statue (recycling))

[Gunbird]

Well, I have a greenhouse that I cut out each individual pane for. After 3 years it's still not finished...so....

As soon a this blasted Nurgle infection is gone I'll give Krystal Klear a go that arrived this weekend.

I felt I was lacking a small depot building with a few small rooms, but no one makes what I want. So I ordered a Small workshop from the Gangs of Rome series from SP and that arrived this afternoon. I just finished cleaning up the table and the tools and I'm calling it 99% done, will add some electrical switches/cabling when I have some free time again. I've added a pic for reference to see how it scales with the rest. Roof will be fibreboard with a smashed section on the right side, the awnings will be tinned sheet so I can have a go at rusting, especially the section on the right. The extended baseplate will be painted as concrete slabs. No idea when I have the time for it but hopefully this year.


Oh, as a mate pointed out....great to change into workshops in a Vietnamese or Chinese alley as well. Might make another one someday in Cyberpunk style. Just sell that kidney first for funds.

Wow...you work FAST!

that's a very handy little building...

[Ultravanillasmurf]

That is a very useful transformation.

Nice work.

Cracking thread, I was struggling for inspiration beyond the obvious crumbling military/industrial complex for my Z.A terrain, so I will be plundering your ideas - that workshops great.

Great stuff mate

Nice work indeed.  I too like that damaged one...

Can't find my box of 3D printed lights,so work on the workshops has halted. Everything has halted while the builders are hacking and breaking and swearing all day anyway, so did not get a lot of hobby time in. Just not feeling it....stress, fun.

But yesterday my Warbases order dropped in the mail and got to work on the sheds. The most important and essential of scenery pieces, the shed.



Added strips of card to the smaller one, just finished doing the same to the other. The greenhouse got a ledge from scrap MDF as it felt a bit empty, and I will cut up some beads for plant pots. Added some bigger beads underneath as they looked a bit like the pots my grandpa had in his greenhouse that used to store stuff in.

They build up allright. Would have been nice to have a floor in the sheds that actually locks in with some nubs instead of glueing in like a loose piece, but it works. I did leave out the MDF window in the smaller one and replaced it with some scrap MDF. Left out the door as well, I will make one from scratch and put it on the floor.

The buildings feel a bit smaller than the Sarissa ones. The doors on the sheds are about the same size as some doors from Sarissa, but the garage doors on another kit are a good 1cm lower. It's ok, they are meant to be mixed and matched anyway. The doors are more solid as they are 2mm MDF and not cardboard like Sarissa (but the one in the greenhouse is cardboard).

Overall, a nice addition. Wait time was long but not due to Warbases, they shipped pretty fast. Dutch Customs and PostNL dropped the ball hard taking almost 3 weeks to deliver it to me and in the last week sending me daily updates like "We will be delivering between 13:30 and 17:30 today" followed by "Oops, we didn't make it, stay tuned for updates". 5 days in a row, I kid you not. Anyway....

I'd really like a few more of those lean on Greenhouses for my Russian village, as after (always after, of course) building it I realised the opening is on the wrong end for the house I have it planned for. Easily sorted if I get another, the brickwork will be on the inside then but the outside can be weatherd concrete then

Warfare is this weekend, might ask a mate to pick up 3 more and take them back when he is back over here.

The order had some office buildings, a workshop and some other bigger stuff for Stalker and 0200 Hours (and God knows what else more) but you should see those soon enough.

Finished a shed for my Stalker build but will work for my Moderns and Post Apoc collection just as well. Even did a review on it over at my Blog.  Nice little kit, works for anything slightly modern and beyond. Bit  different from the Sarissa kits, doors feel a bit smaller but after  adding some details nice none the less.

Nice work.

All your buildings are well made and inspiring! 

[hubbabubba]

Fantastic scenery, very well done.

[Gunbird]

Thx guys 

Keeping up the tempo, here is another shed from Warbases.

Nice solid little kit. 4 walls, section with a door, section with the window, and roof and floor. Build time was a good 20 minutes, I left out the door and the window and replaced it with a card door. No windowframe as I wanted something different and put in a section of cut off MDF sprue. Added windowsills as usual. Paintwork was about 2-3 hours, most of that on the weathering and the leaves and drying time. Went for the abandonded look with lots of muck and moss. Shoudl fit in any of my gaming interests.

Cracking little thing, works for any table, everyone needs at least one shed. 8/10
