Urban scenery

Looks Spiffy.

The golden throne made me laugh

I love what you have done with the interiors.  Too much of that sort of thing is impractical if you plan to game in the terrain, but the implied use for the rooms using the little touches is really nice.

After loong searching, finally the suggestion by S44lade appeared to be perfect! Thank you!



The issue was the scale. I was OK with the structure, but the cabin was quite problematic. I enlarged it a little using the first piece of card I found:



I thought a Servitor was the most logical option to man the crane. I found an old 1/48 plane pilot; with the severed GW head, it could work...





The crane itself looked neat to me:



For the inside, there was no point in sculpting it all over; I used the oldest trick in the movies, just painted card!



Well, it works! You are not supposed to pay attention to it!



So after some more work, it finally got this aspect:



It's totally enough for my standards, it fits in perfectly in my board:



The whole work, on the blog:

Thank you to all who suggested ideas, they all were extremely helpful to define the project!

Great work! (I recognize that container! )

[commissarmoody]

Very nice

The crane operator is great, the dopey looking severed head works surprisingly well

That crane is fantastic!

[Suber]

Thank you! This was an element I've been trying to add to my scenery almost from the beginning, but hadn't found the right piece until now. Once I got it in my hands, it was nothing but taking the obvious (i.e. easier ) choices.

The thing I was needing now was a few more shipping containers. I placed an order toLaserCutCard, (great product and even better service!)
I'm totally satisfied with the containers. This is what you get:



I decided to make them all in a row; I think it's less mind harmful





When finished, they look like this:



But that was the easy part, hehe, now you have to paint them! (now it's when I miss an airbrush or something like that...)

I cannot but recommend these. They are cool pieces and the price is unbeatable. I also have a couple of buildings, will have to put my hands on them

[commissarmoody]

Not bad, and I am guessing they are pretty reasonable price wise too.

[Suber]

Sorry, missed your comment! Yup, they are unexpensive and really nice . In fact, today I'm bringing the first of the buildings I still had pending:



Though I painted the locks, I later realized I was going to spray the whole building all over, so please ignore the blue windows there, just my scattering lack of planification.



It's a two storey building. I didn't glue these pieces for storage reasons:





Grey primer spray and then let's begin with the rest:



It definitely needs some dirt...



For the signs I tried the same style I've already used for other buildings. Blame Google Translator if they are not accurate



The whole set looks this way, once I added some simple grafitti and stuff:

Once again, card is surprisingly good stuff, better than I imagined. I still have another building, but I need some stuff for it before I start it. Soon, soon...

[Rowlybot12000]

A very inspiring project!

[eilif]

Nice work.  The more I see of the LCC buildings the more I like them.

[Dr DeAth]

nice collection of buildings you've got there

Hey Suber, I lost track of this thread for a bit but I'm well impressed with the amount of work you have gotten through - It is all coming together nicely, you will have a fantastic board by the end of it - keep up the good work.
