Looking great, my favourite is the rotten door!

That is very good. I do like the interior very damp and dingy.

Thx guys :)

 Just finished the upgrade of the Warbases Brick Workshop. Styrofoam offcuts for the roof and dormer, cardboard and newspaper for the roof, scrap MDF for other details and some milliput and staples for the win.

From this:


To this:


Hope to get primed and painted somewhere this weekend.

that's great, is it based on something from the game? that original seemed more than suitable to the theme...

No, just my own idea and trying out new things. I want it to fit in with the rest of the buildings, so this type of roof was chosen. The dormer was just a fun addition to break up the roof. I am watching footage of the new game though, for inspiration :)

There's a new one?  :o

Great work on the workshop. With your painting, this will fit in witht he rest of your terrain perfectly :)


+++EDIT+++ I just checked out the website for the new Heart of Chornobyl game, and it looks fab. I also just upgraded my PC this very week, and the game's requirements fall very much within the new specs (and then some ;) ). I've been a huge fan of the previous games, so this might be a must-have. Also; according to the site, it's scheduled for release today (nov 20th)!

This might have an impact on my hobby productivity...  lol

Great job buddy, everything looks ace!

@Daeothar - having fun yet?  Seen the sun rise in the morning and thought......Oops? lol

Thx guys. Been focussing on clearing more stuff but grabbed a nice lazy painting session.

Another set of crates finished, all of these are from Red Vectors, and some have banding added using thin card. Markings copied from various munitions crates. Except Killroy of course. Though he seems a bit changed in the zone....

Went a bit more agressive on the highlights and tried a few techniques to see which I liked most, and glued a few together to make placement a bit quicker (all the stacked ones are glued together).

They do look good. (Relatively) small details like crates and stuff add a lot to games. You can do without clutter, but having it on the table helps set the mood.

You can never have too many crates! And they're good for just about any period...  :D

Look great...I like that you take the time to add your own banding. That's dedication for scatter pieces!
