Akula's Dune Terrain Project (Update 26/1/14)

[Belgian]

Splendid, really like the rock face pattern. Any tips on how you achieved the effect and how you applied the filler? 

[Giger]

Incredible stuff, would love to see this 'in the flesh' once complete as it is going to be very impressive.

[gamer Mac]

Looks great
Good luck with the insides

[Michka]

That's amazing. Just how many times have you watched Dune in the past six months to get this done?

[Uncle Mike]

Inspired! Perfect! Is that a shield generator in the basement? This is fantastic stuff! For how can this be? You truly are the quizats hat-rack...

[Papa Spanky]

Im not sure how I missed this one, this is great stuff.

Holy Arakis on a stick of spice with a side of Fremen! That's impressive! 

[Commander Vyper]

Just don't hold a wierding module and say his name though....

Ak'U'LA!!!!

So you on target for the 12th April then?

Sure you'll have seen it but I thought I'd share. Fremen look nice. You adding cloaks to your desert people?

[Vermis]

Argle.

Debating whether to go to Salute this year; this is a big entry in the 'pro' column.

[AKULA]

Cheers all!

very interested in how you'll game this. 

Haven't written the rules yet, but they will be quick and bloody

Splendid, really like the rock face pattern. Any tips on how you achieved the effect and how you applied the filler? 

Layers of blue stuff, carved with a straight bladed kitchen knife, and then the finer bits with a scalpel. Polyfilla in the crevasses to smooth out some of the worst  it's, and then a quick going over with sandpaper - left some of the filler on to get a rough feel.

Just how many times have you watched Dune in the past six months to get this done?

Probably not enough times...I just don't have enough time to get it detail specific.  The interior will be an impression...depends upon how much time I have to complete it, paint the figures, write the rules etc...

Is that a shield generator in the basement?

Yup, hard polystyrene from ancienottis.

Yeah, saw that, nicely done. 

Am toying with a set of my assault troopers with cloaks added for variety purposes.

especially for AEG...the obligatory in darkness shot.

to save time Matt have you thought of using some pre-painted scenery for the rest of the table?
