Scratch built 15mm buildings - new stuff added
« on: August 29, 2014, 11:20:24 AM »
Hi

over the last couple of months, I built some buildings for our forthcoming Pulp Alley sci-fi gaming. Most of it is built from scratch mainly using packaging material. This one is an electrical box that has been embellished with a perspex dome and a door:

I would never have guessed the source of that if you'd not said - great piece of terrain.

Thanks for the kind feedback everyone! There is more to come… I'm working on sci-fi Plot Point markers for Pulp Alley.

Hi!

Test playing the new rules has rekindled my motivation to finish some of the 15mm sci-fi stuff that was lying around… I did some scratch building and painting.
My long-term plan is to make a spaceport (incl. scratch-built spaceship), so I decided to start with a terminal building:

Good use of found materials.  I'm inspired to start rummaging through the trash!  lol
I really like that cylindrical building in your first picture. I don't think that I've ever seen an electrical box like that, but I'm going to try to find something similar.  The cylindrical shape gives it more of a sci-fi feel than the typical rectangular block building shape.

Thanks! I could send you one of those boxes, but postage may be a bit high, I'm based in Europe...
