Hi, my first modeling post (new to the hobby) highlights some terrain objects built from hardware scrap. I purchased some AT-43 during an online sale, so I needed an inexpensive source for 28mm bug-hunting surroundings. Locally, there is a warehouse that sells surplus building supplies, run by Habitat for Humanity. For spare change, you can get industrial grade bits that make a good beginning to finished structures. In the pic below I've begun construction of a communication dish, power plant, security tower, floor plates and gun nests.
Pending the arrival of some discount toys from Amazon, I'll update with the "alien monster" the troopers will be fighting.
