Project Last Days (24/4/25 The Compund, concertina wire!!)

[Legionnaire]

More progress! Stage 2.

I spent a couple of hours this afternoon to dryfit the building and glue some bits together. Those are going to be a uniform colour anyways.

Apart from one part when I at first couldn't figure out how it possibly would fit together and one part when I had to give some slots a little trim to fit, it went well together.

Tomorrow will probably see the spray painting of the building and assembly by the end of the week, hopefully.

So far, so good.

And I agree with you - I like doing up mdf stuff.  I too like that smell.  When I get back from visiting me brother in Florida at the end of March, I'm gonna give figures a break for a bit, and work on some vehicles and Terrain (including several mdf buildings...).  Mind you, I'll post pics of the stuff as I finish it in my relevant threads here on the LAF.

That looks like it will be a very cool addition to your upcoming scenery 👍. Those cells will be very handy.

What are the bits in the final photo - are they the waste or are they something?

Nice work on the dry fit.

With the options of playing some Story Missions when characters progress from Tier 1 to 2 and from 2 to 3, I think I'll give one of those a spin in a cramped, claustrophobic indoors zombie infested prison at some point  ! Most likely it'll be tying into Billy-Ray's or Kelly-Ann's background fluff, but could also be used for Bernice. I like to have options  .

Oh, that's the pile of windows, signs, corner pieces and other small bits, ALL to be sprayed white  . Fousands of the little b*ggers!

Edit: changed my mind. Some will be white, others grey and some black. This is a prison after all so nor many gaudy colours  .

Legionnaire.

More progress. Stage 2.5 (ish).

I spent some time today colour coding the bits and spray painting them. I'm honestly not too fussed if the paint doesn't cover completely, after all it's supposed to be a run down prison somewhere  .

I still have to spray the interior colour on the walls and do some of the detailing (the signs, the posters, the cell numbers etc), but just showing you how many pieces there are in this kit  !

I aim to have this finished and assembled by Friday evening. If I don't give myself deadlines, things slide and procrastinate  .

Regards,

Legionnaire.

I call the prison done now! Took me longer than expected, mostly due to all those window sills and corner bits that had to be stuck on, but it'll do  .

You?ve done a nice job there and that?s an excellent addition to your scenery - there?s so many possibilities with that building and it?s big enough to have complete scenarios using nothing else. Big thumbs up from me👍

You are too kind sir and very happy that you're liking it.

Indeed sir. I am, in a game turn or two, depending how events unfold, going to use it in maybe a Chatacter Story Special Mission or as an Origin Special Mission in trying to determine the Rot beginning,  cure etc.

I have 3 survivors left to paint up before I call the jnitial zombie apocalypse collection complete. And I have until end of April to do that so shouldn't be a problem  .

Because I was struggling to get the mini I needed, I bought a box of Warlord Games Project Z Female Survivors off Evilbay for about ?15.

I only assembled the needed mini out of 10, but there's lots of extra weapons and accessories on the sprues, so I'll be doing them up as well.

Here's the initial stock take. I hope to get these done by Tuesday.

Very nice prison.

[Pattus Magnus]

Very nice prison.

Not a sentence I normally expect to read, but definitely true in this case.

Not a sentence I normally expect to read, but definitely true in this case.

Located in an unattractive, out of the way location. Plenty of room for many different kinds of criminals residents. Staff there for you around the clock and with sturdy secure fitments,  it's in high demand. Once you get in you never leave  .

A.  Great little lock-up you did there.  Well done!

B.  Those sprues are quite handy, aren't they?  The Special Operators sprues have some individual weapons too (of various types), some with optics...

Thank you very much CapnJim. I personally have no experience of such institutions,  bar a school trip to the equivalent of the county police station many moons ago.

I think you seem to get lots of useful stuff on the sprue. Only thing I lacked was a spare revolver or two.

Thanks for the tip sir, but I think I have more than I really need at the moment. I try to finish up what I bought for the setting in the first place before adding more. Might do something in the future.

Legionnaire.

The guns, backpacks and pouched have had some paint slapped on them today.  Varnish tomorrow.

In hindsight,  I probably would've been much better off painting most of them still on the sprue. Cutting them out and trying to keep those tiny bits in place with blue tack for painting was not the smoothest operation...

Anyways, they?ll do.
