Big piece of junk
« on: May 04, 2012, 01:17:40 PM »
Big piece of junk this time.



I cobbled this together from a HO junk lot I picked up quite a while back that had a ton of used and abused refinery towers and silos. Lots of cleaning, removal of old glue and some chopping made this, a old, used silo, on its side, with a faded paintjob. The girders removed, propably cut up for scrap as well.

For 20mm this is a big piece in my junkyard, but I will be using it for the 15mm one as well, for which it is massive. I have several more of these pieces, might turn 1 or 2 into massive booster rockets lying around as scrap.



Spare PSC Panzer IV hatch came in useful :)



Whole wheat logo.

Now that I think about it, it would not look too bad on a 28mm table either  ;)

looks great, good thing about something like that is it'll almost work for any scale

That looks fantastic... I love the subtle and realistic colors you chose for your palette.

I guess it's all been said before :
Very nice rust. You got a tutorial somewhere ?
and yes, that would fit perfectly on a 28mm table.
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons,
for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
