Hmmm, anyone know a good source of free downloadable posters suitable for this project?

Thank you sir!



Start of the ramp. Was convinced to make it double back on itself taking up less length-space on the table. It's a bit of a pain to do but am pleased with how it is going at the moment.


An update on the T-section. Poor lighting and use of a flash means this looks a bit lighter than it is but if you imagine this to be a bit darker I think you'll get the idea of the colour. Will try and take better photo's tomorrow.

Having a bit of a break from the high-rised highway at the moment after spending the weekend cruning out the remaining of the basic structure of the ramp etc. So focused on some more miniatures:

Ratskins expanding:


One of the 'authority' forces - Neo Sovs:


Sentry/task bots for the Neo Sovs (based upon Fenris doomsday devices):

Top PJs... quite a revelation.

Great stuff!

Thanks, not happy with my poor attempt at 'glowing' lenses so they will be re-done. Might have a stab at it tomorrow along with trying to get some better shots - these are a tad too dark for my liking and the Sovs especially don't look so good.

If you need more posters I can dig up the word document I put together for my fallout project and email it to you.

Nice idea for the roads! I don't know if I'm too late, or if it's any use, but you can make easy/cheap good looking rivets by pressing a ball point pen into the back of glossy magazine cover. Basically make strips of the stuff to glue over the card of your walls and joining bits.

That would be ace! Thanks.

Not too late at all, thanks for that, I may just do that on the rest to save my sanity . . . . . All I need to do now is identify which magazine the misses will miss the least . . . .

Nice one. I really like the task bots.

A bit boring I know but I have put together a campaign map:



Based on one of the few decent airial night shots of a city I could find.

The plan is to have three main factions: Neo Sovs, an opposing force I have yet to name and then resistance forces for occupied areas.

This isn't the best ever city - the Sovs see it as a good oppertunity as they can try to bribe and exploit the areas high number of gangs and crime. So in the middle of it all gangs will be fighting for 'influence' and territory whilst clashing with which-ever authority happens to occupy their 'hood' etc.

Essentially two interlocking/overlapping campaigns!

[mcfonz]

Just a quick update - these were done a little while ago before some commissions I took on for friends / trade. They are the start of a force of resistance fighters / rebels:

Fire team 1:


Fire team 2:


Neither are 100% done yet and obviously need their bases seeing to. Hopefully will get back to work on the roadways very soon - so long as I keep on top of this asthmatic cough I have (triggered by heavy cold unfortunately).

Good progress, all you need now is some vehicles.
