After playing Stalker and Metro 2033 I decided to make my own tunnels to play in.
The finished tunnel pieces.
Cross section with some signage.
The pipewall section with a warning sign.
:frustry: Random tunnel sign. Better mask up!
The tunnel with the home made ladder.
Right angle with a poster.
Same right angle panel detail. Boys always check the red panel - that is were they stash ammo.
Inside the Stalker Stash room. I have not done any furniture yet. This room could be a lab, break or security room.
The lockers. Always worth checking. Sometimes there is a medi pack or some ammo. One time we found a pristine assault rifle and some body armour.
Whoever was here last must have been fans of this, what ever it is.
STALKER vodka advert.
The letters are lettraset and where a total pain to apply. The arrows point to a hidden stash.
I love the way the rust has come out on the air vents.
More lettraset letters
Finished long tunnel
The removable tunnel door.
SHUT THE DOOR! Where you born in a barn?
Other side
The barricade for the long tunnel.
Other side
The collapsed tunnel.
More from the tunnel
Best watch that grid thing. Something unpleasant might climb out of it.
Another shot of the same tunnel.
You have been warned! The tunnel's graffiti. I thought it might be fun to have sections where you cant use certain weapons.
A right angle. The mad looking huge pipe thingy is a 20mm plastic conduit bush/coupler. You can pick them up in DIY stores quite cheaply. The electrical box is made from the covers you get on a 3 pin mains plug when you buy a new appliance (US and Euro guys might not be able to get these as your plugs are round pins). The hole in the top was plugged with putty. The cable is a guitar string with a putty bracket.
Eeeewwww - watch your step. The puddle is PVA glue painted green. It may be hazardous it may not...step in it and see.
The lower walls in this section came from packets of end pieces for UPVA windows that where left behind when the builders installed our new windows a couple of years ago. A long dead explorer lies on the floor - a warning to others.
The vented tunnel.
The other side of the vented tunnel. I quite like how the pipes turned out.
Ribbed section with grid. The ribs are made from plastic coffee stirrers you loot from cafes.
A shot of the wall ribs.
The electrical box is scratch built from foamboard and card. The conduit under it was a qtip and the handle was a chopped up WW2 1/35 anti-tank rifle handle.
The propped up tunnel.
The other side. It makes a nice choke point. May even be a good mission to seal a tunnel by blowing the props (directly stolen from the Metro 2033 game!
).
The ladder down room.
The wide tunnel.
The wide tunnel being used as a camp.
Small room. My line painting isnt the best. It wasnt helped by the masking tape not sticking, so its free hand. I am thinking that if I ever do this again I will paint the inside walls first. That way its easier to get a straight line and there is no limits on brush movement.
One of my favourites.
Its based on the first room in the Metro 2033 game. See the big door? That leads up into the station and to the surface. The posters are pictures I found online and printed off. The wall fans/aircon units are resin items I found on Ebay. The mechanial backup door wheel is a pop fastener and the power switch on the left hand side of the door was a rear airfoil off a 1/100th Cobra helicopter kit with 1.5mm diameter punched bits of card as buttons.
Oooh heck, your not going up there are you?
Other end of the room.
More detail and posters.
