This is starting to look the part!

I've blocked in some colour while the forge tests continue to dry.

Cheers

Coming along nicely.

Great and once again another build that is so much further along than my own.....

That's looking really good Matt - it'll look great in the dark .... Lots of creepy shadows!

Thanks Karsten, Tony and Steve. It will certainly cast some shadows and it's got lots of narrow alleys to shoot down. I'm thinking of it as a cave/dungeon in that regards and may build a few more boards... Not sure yet. I think it needs a friend though

A little update. I've lightly weathered the corrugated shanties, still a bit to go in this build and a bit of detailing. I ordered an O scale anvil and tools, and I'll need to knock up a tressle table for the 'market' behind the forge, plus give it a tarp for a roof. And all the ground work.

Any tips or ideas to scatter terrain a shanty?

Anyway here's a picture As a reward for reading all that

Tires, fuel/water cans, timber (for building stuff and fires), and general tat.

Silent Invader · « **Reply #37 on:** February 17, 2015, 01:53:31 AM »

Everythkng Karsten said, especially tat. Humans are terrible creators of mess!

Eric the Shed · « **Reply #38 on:** February 17, 2015, 07:26:24 AM »

want more tat - Break up a die cast car...doors, bonnet, windscreen etc

Looking great

Looking great, but I agree this requires more clutter.

Very neat build. you really nailed the random home made structures and I can't wait to see more.

Clothes lines, rubbish piles, soda cans, plastic bottles, standing water puddles, cigarette ends and newspapers. Do not forget weeds. If the shanty has been there a while, vegetation will creep in.
Hope those ideas give you a bit of inspiration.
Snitchy sends.
Edit: Forgot to add pallets to the list.

What snitchy said + tires, barrels, plastic crates from fruit/vegetables or bottles but most of all, if it's a blacksmith : lots of scrap metal. can't work metal if you don't have the stuff at hand.

I thought my house was messy

Thanks for the tips guys. Just trying to keep it generic enough as well without being too sci Fi.

I cannot show many more pictures as the thing is mostly painted. I'll take some pictures if I end up making tulle terrain additions.

Cheers
Matt.

Clutter?

I once read of a model railway trick where the modeller used the small paper packaging from the inside of padded envelopes to recreate clutter and in particular paper rubbish.

You may want to try this.
