Bunker Filler

[Gunbird]

As opposed to my Carpark Filler.....  

All home made using nothing but sheet styrene and various kit parts from my 1 cubic metre sized bit box.

First 4


A big case with a wheel that turns and does....something. Wheel is from a 1/35 Wanne kit.


A big case with switches.....switches from a HO Signal Tower Interior


A big case with...I dunno. It has lights and switches.


Yeah, sorry. Couldn't resist myself.

All of them are painted on all sides, some even have a little detailing on the side or rear. This way I can topple them etc to suit the surroundings. Decals from various sources. Double coat of varnish.

Currently done: 4
Currently PIP: 2 of the same sized cases plus a long 8cm wallhugger.
Currently WIP: 4 of various sizes

Watch for updates!

Some great pieces there. I absolutely love the painted rust effect  :love:    How did you achieve that?

Those are awesome! I love stuff like this, it adds so much to the gaming table! And the rust is great too

[Gunbird]

Thank you.

@Overlord, u found my tutorial helpfull? Don't mind my reaction to your mention of  rust, sometimes I feel people only notice my rust and banged up things instead of the whole stuff Then again, I really do like making destroyed stuff so thats my own fault  :mrgreen:

Building a few more 8 cm blocks at the moment, and moving away from flat blocks to more shaped ones, with a bit more 3-D in em. Good thing I can see it in my head and cut it straight to plastic instead of making drawings first as usual.

I'm really enjoying these  ::

Great filler. I particularly like the control cabinet with the levers, and the large arrow for the wheel.

"Nein, you Dunderhead! Mit der Arrow! Aaaarrgh!"

How'd you do the rust?  

[Zoogla]

Hey, I like all of the pieces. Adds nice atmosphere to any scenario I bet.
btw, did someone already ask about the rust??  ::
Just kidding, read the tutorial already but haven't tried it out yet.

keep it up, your stuff is excellent!

I didnt take offence at all.  I should have paid more attention to your original post on rust!  NB I did say they were great pieces before I mentioned the rust! ::

Complaining is my best motivator, as I have been nagging myself for the slow progress.

Finished the turbine generators:


They look like this:


And on occasion like this:


And a parts list for the ones who don't believe making these cost me about 0 cents....



Cap of a Fruit2Day bottles from Modhail, 1:24 scale wheel rim of a wrecked and badly assembled US truck I got for free with the load of CPU fans i recently bought, coverplate is a Warhammer small shield and the pointy thing on top I have no idea, but it comes from the same 1:24 kit.

Think of hydro electric generators usually found in dams for a reference.

More great items Johan   .  You will need the whole of Organisation Todt to keep up with their bunker building at the rate you are completing the contents.

Excellent use of scrap/bits box. The secret is to make it difficult for anyone to identify the original parts.

(And I didnt even mention rust!  :mrgreen: )

[Grimm]

cool stuff ,I ike all these good Ideas  :love:

[Gunbird]

The doc wasn't available tonite so I just used 2 stand ins for size. Its a big thing with dials and stuff and propably does something really really important. 8cm wide so it fits a basic 10cm bunker block.



Done: 8
PIP: 8

Coffee maker, particle accellerator, who knows. Magazine is a bonus, and the one that can guess the hidden message or dare I say Easter Egg gets a cookie.

And here we go again, with another fresh batch...

First, a group shot.


Then, from left to right.

I have no idea.

Box with GW Cadian Heavy Weapons bit attached to it.

Lots of dials and knobs and whatnots.

Consoles from a 1/32 Dornier bomber.

A cooling thing of sorts perhaps? Or a really expensive 8 track holder  ::

Vent is from the rear deck of a 1/35 Leopard IIRC, knobs and levers from the 1/32 Dornier kit.

It has a rear side too.

Decal from my decalbox of holding.

Scope or magnifier.

A dashboard from a 1/35 Humvee, an armoured plate from a 1/35 Alligator and a air intake thing for a 1/24 car kit.

Another switch box. (highlight faded a bit cause of the varnish)

HO Signals kit

And just to keep you on your toes, here is a sneak peek at some PIP's....


The 1 million dollar gumball machine and door number 1,2 and 3!  ::


And finally, some statistics.

Done: 14
PIP: 2
WIP: 15

Slowly but steadily....

Enjoy the pics gents.

More fun looking mad science gizmo boxes, the bunker lab is going to look great when it's all together.
