Toybashing. 3 in-progress Urban Terrain Pieces.

[eilif]

I've been working for a long time building terrain from bits and toys, using many of the techniques from Necromundicon and some of my own. Building things like the hi-rise I posted earlier:

Recently, I've decided to have another go my self at doing a of an in-progress how-to, sharing some of the techniques I've learned or created as shown on 3 projects from building through priming.  Finished versions to come later.

The full tutorial with in progress pictures and construction tops is here:

But here are some pics of the 3 projects within

I have enjoyed seeing your previous builds so am really looking forward to seeing these progress.

Very impressive stuff

Looking forward to seeing how these come out!

Thanks,  I'll try not to disappoint with the paintjobs!

The train station looks splendid, even unpainted! Well, except the oversized steps on the staircaase

[mysteriousbill]

They are oversized, but are they big enough to hold a figure? I always hate it when you have to leave a figure at the bottom of perfect looking steps (or a hill) and say how far they are up, because they'll fall off if you put them on.

[eilif]

The steps are terribly oversized, but they do comfortably hold a figure on a 25 or even 30mm base if it's turned correctly. I had thought about trying to plascard them over and make intermediate pseudo-steps that the figures' base could still slide under. However, I'm all about the fast-and-dirty when it comes to terrain, so I decided that the size of the steps as-is was a fair trade for ease of figure placement

Nice! 

That train station is indeed looking cool already at this stage.
