Outstanding!   8) 8) 8)


And I should add that the matching mini base texture and terrain is spot on.

Wow! Nice job!

How do you paint your metal?

Grey primer,  base coat GW Ironbreaker, wash of GW Nuln Oil and then dry brush GW Runefang Steel.  Nothing complicated.  :)

Nice, I like it! Is GW Ironbreaker about the same colour as Boltgun metal? Runefang Steel = Mithril silver?

Ironbreaker is the same as Chainmail, not Boltgun metal.  Runfang is the same a Mithril - useful colour comparison chart here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Paint_Range_Compatibility_Chart

Finally finished the Scrapyard for SandPort.  

This building took far longer than I expected due to all the work need on the scrap.  I've compromised slightly with the scrap by making it in removable modules rather than modelling it in place.  This allows me to used it as scatter terrain and to use the yard for other things (such as a compound), but as a result it's not very messy and looks very neat and tidy. It'll have to do for now, too many other buildings to make to spend any more time on it :)  Also, looking at the pictures now I think it could do with some more 'dirtying up'.

Testing for fit:


Primed: mistake here - should have base coated everything separately then glues together

Dirty enough or not... that is a great piece of terrain!

Well done!

You managed to finish what I myself had started a few years ago: modular trash and scrap for a big scrapyard, but got put on hold by the birth of my daughters. Seeing your stuff motivates me to take that box out of storage and go at it again :) Beautiful work!
