15mm SciFi Scenery - Table!

That is a triumph of corrugation!

Will you make these in 15mm only, or might you replicate in 28mm as well?

Would go very well with my Copplestone Future Wars / Pig Iron collection

Whoah,I like those!

Thanks everyone!

Looking good. I agree it got a little dark, but the chipping effect worked well at least! Maybe go back and add a few dabs of a lighter rust red in some of the "worst" spots once the chipping is done? The rust colour is just a little too even, given the larger areas of rust you have, I think. If it was just dots here or there, less variation is fine, but broad areas need a greater range of tones.

perfecly right about the rust flatness, but i just wanted to apply it quickly with the airbrush, so... :S
I don't think i'll edit that build anymore, i'll work on the other ones first!

The oil paint wouldn't 'wash off' with thinner while you were working on the piece?

It does, but it's hard to control the oils in such a small surface. Besides, the solvent tends to remove the acrilic paint too, so i couldn't stay more on each part.

I did one in 28mm a while ago, for a painter that never painted it. http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=46266.0

I'll work on 15mm because it's the scale i'm playing with, but for 28mm the level of details i can achieve is quite higher, as you can see in the link above ^^
I still have the molds to cast the corrugated panels for 28mm... casting them is quite a pain, but the resulting resin pieces are sweet! ^^

Ooh that's gorgeous Sangennaru. As I always expect from you. The irregular builds are very pleasing to the eye.

Paint, Mmm, I am no expert, but I have had a little practice the last year.

The chipping looks fab.
A rust red primer could be a good place to start?
I would then use an acrylic burnt umber wash, followed by stippling neat burnt umber, and burnt umber/black in the heavily rusted areas.
then a little burnt sienna in rusty spots (wipe off anything that's not in a crevice).
Then a little burnt sienna wash running down the walls.

But a quick fix may just be dry brushing your dirt/dust colour of choice along the bottom and along the ridges of the corrugated iron. That may help lift it.

I'm no pro as can be seen from my shonky efforts, but I'm keen to watch any solution you come up with

Cheers

Thank you Constable! I think that for now i'll leave the "painted mistake" as it is, and i'll go on with the other four and a few other elements i've done (mainly walls). Once i've finished all of them i'll think what to do with the first. I might even consider to let it stay there... or darken it more and make it look like a burnt building...
I really have to decide yet...

Meanwhile, the houses got their white layer, now it's time for chipping, today!

A few more things painted for my games, in particular some 15mm containers! Sooner or later produced by ClearHorizon miniatures.



This time, NO OILS, only some water+paint+future washes and pigments.

[Sangennaru]

Hello everyone! First of all, my apologies if the last pictures aren't visible anymore, my site is now down and i managed to recover only the pictures i took up to a certain point. Now, for something related but not completely the same, i'm sharing here the first two tiles of my Round of Fire table!
Another two to come!





Feedback and C&C welcomed!

Very glad you put some of those lines diagonal instead of sticking to orthogonal. People always seem to put their urban stuff in a strict grid, but if you look at actual urban sprawls most of them don't have a straight line in them.

Thanks! However, if we will play using the grid, we will have to put scenery more or less orthogonally. But yeah, breaking the usual scheme is always nice! ^_^

That's cracking! Is that 3D or printed?

Thanks!! It's hand-sculpted! Well, i sculpted the tiles and then cast them! But i'm now SERIOUSLY considering the idea of scanning it, and after a bit of postproduction putting it available as a printable pdf!
That might work, no?

[DELTADOG]

Very great work as usual Mr. Lazy Sir!

The Floortile would really make a good base to scan for a PDF imo.

Oh wow, I actually thought it was a painted image printed out on a sheet. The fact that it's real and fully 3D makes it that much more amazing!

[Sangennaru]

Thank you!! I shall probably try that once i've done the four tiles!!
And yes, this is definitely 3D:





Meanwhile, i've added a big update on the Round of Fire page, the game i'll use this table with! The idea is to have the possibility to play both with the ruler or using the tiles for distances, which are provided by the concrete tiling of the table itself!

Take a read to the update in the thread!

Beautiful terrain, and very nicely made. It's been years of inspiration and great tutorials from your posts and blog.
Thank you 

Cheers
