Urban scenery for Judge Dredd (MC 01 Boundary Gate added)

[Hubminator]

Combination of CNC Workshop City tiles and scratch-built craters, plus cheap cars melted and touched up with spray paint/Tamiya rust powder.  Have ordered the Judge Dredd rules and a judges boxed set from Warlord, can't wait to have a game










Cheers for looking, suggestions for improvement welcome!

Looks good. You could potentially paint the road a bit darker to break up the colour a bit. But, it looks simple and effective, which is probably what you were going for! 

[Hubminator]

Good suggestion!

The flash has washed out the colours a wee bit, there is more contrast in real life, but it is all a bit monochromatic...hmmm, thinking of getting some graffiti and tags to liven it up a bit as the buildings I have all use the same colours too

That looks amazing!

I would like to know more about this melting of cars. Because it looks rather effective. How do you do it and with what?

something hot?

Hey

Melting the cars was a bit hazardous, firstly it was on some cheap 1/50th plastic cars I got from the Warehouse (NZ version of Walmart/Target), I went outside, put them in a metal container, placed newspaper in and around the cars (some of it poking out like a fuse), sprayed it with some CRC (WD 40 I guess), covered my airways with a mask and lit the news paper at arms length, The fumes were not nice, so I'd definitely recommend doing this outside, also the whole flammable spray thing was pretty dodgy, it really requires being very careful.

Then I sprayed the melted results with black then white spray paint and applied the rust pigment when that had dried, I have found the spray paint I use does not adhere to the plastic cars very well, so I have to do something to sort that out, not sure what as yet...

[Ray Earle]

It's probably the left over WD40 which isn't helping. Have you washed the cars after you've torched them?

Nice looking scenery though. I always think of Frank Millers work when I see something monochromatic like this. Maybe leave everything the colour it is but with the odd accent of colour on the figures? Or paint the objective markers to make them really pop?

[Hubminator]

Aha! Thank you Sir Earle! Great advice, I had not thought of that 

Cheers for the feedback, I am just starting to read Rogue Trooper and Judge Dredd digital comics, and they are all in black and white so same could apply.

cheers

spray some silhouettes of a family walking along on the side of the bus as flash vaporized victims of the apocalypse war 

That's a cool idea. Now, have to try and find a spot in my brain to remember it whenever the opportunity for it arises.

Dark. Very dark.

I like it. 

[Baconfat]

I really like the dusty fallout look.  The burnt bus is great, I'd like to see how you did it.

[Commander Vyper]

Not sure about the melted cars I have to say... thats some heavy East Meg bombing!

With a setting that blasted you'd be hard pushed to see any melted remains unless of course you're thinking about ruins too?


Cheers

[Hubminator]

Cheers and no worries scurv, all good 

Yeah this is just part if my urban terrain, have a bunch more of the cool cnc city boards plus some custom boards like the ones in the pictures, have a range of ruined and whole SCI fi buildings sarissa, warmill, etc...

Will put some more pics up when I clean up my games room

Thanks for the feedback

[Hubminator]

Finally got around to putting some buildings on my tiles in prep for receiving the JD rules hopefully this week, apologies for the lack of paint on minis, am getting there slowly, love the Heresy gangers, great sculpts with heaps of character

[aliensurfer]

looks great!
