Building A Sci-Fi Mining Town at Roebeast's Blog
« on: April 08, 2010, 07:31:27 PM »
Hi everyone,

I've started posting pictures of the sci-fi mining town that I'm building called Colton's Curse. I'll be continuing this project for a while and will include buildings, vehicles, terrain, and miniatures.
Please take a look!

Thanks,
Roebeast

That looks promising, where are the minis from?

They're from Gangs of Mega City One. No longer in print but the plastic minis are still pretty easy to find cheaply.

Hey Roe,

Looking over the blog. Looking good thus far. Very promising. I really like when peeps can take simple things and turn them into something kool and usable.

I was also curious of a pic on your blog. The cowboy riding the lizard. Looks like it is taken from a strip of some kind. Where is it from?  :-)

EDIT
NEVERMIND    Damn pretty pictures caught my attention. I didn't notice those word thingies under the banner pic. Looking pretty good. Always liked the "cowboy" sort riding dino's.  :-)

Very, very cool looking buildings. They have a nice believable  "near future" look to them, and I'll be following the growth of the town with interest to borrow ideas for my own (embryonic at the moment) terrain for Star Mogul. Good stuff!

Nice! Has a "Ghosts of Mars" look (that's a good thing: the movie was rubbish, but the outdoor sets/locations looked good IMO).
History viewed from the inside is always a dark, digestive mess, far different from the easily recognizable cow viewed from afar by historians.

Really cool, I especially like your take on the old Rogue Trader "bucket of sand" type building. I'll be watching this with interest since my attempts at building a consistent sci-fi town have fallen by the wayside.
