That's a great table!

[Michka]

So many great elements to be found on your table. I'd pick out what I like the most, but it's everything combined that really makes this a spectacular work of terrain art.

[Vanvlak]

Very nicy and inspiring too. As Michka said, it all fits together very well.
Nice painting on the models too.

Thank's guys, i am realy happy about your comments. I am just giving back some Tabletop love.
Working on terrain is so cool. It is very creative and easier to paint than minis.
But soon i have to paint more minis to play with other people. My main goal is my own 40k Skirmish Game and a lot of 2on2, 1on1on1on1 or Coop Games with my friends.

But today terrain again.
The User Eilif from Chicago showed us HotWheels Chargers painted for SciFi Wargaming. Because of that i looked at the HotWheels market and bought many sets:


I found out that LEGO Bionicles got good pieces, too:


I found one HotWheels piece that is realy cool for my purposes without big changes:


So i changed it just a bit:


And painted it:














For storing it, you can disassembly it:


The hooks/gripper are made from LEGO Bionicle pieces.
I never saw someone doing this, so maybe i am the first one. I love to be a pioneer.  

Next things will be the HotWheels Chargers like Eilif did them before.


Cheers,
Jan

Very clever, and very effective. These are great additions for a junkyard / dockyard setting!

[Mason]

Superb scenery all round!
 

I missed this thread earlier and am REALLY glad to have caught it now as random sci-fi clutter is very much on the menu for me next year.
Loads of great tips in here.....
I had better start searching now, I guess!
 

[Rhoderic]

That is cooler than the other side of the pillow!

 

Must imitate somehow.

Jan,
Wonderful looking table.
I know what you mean about doing terrain.
I enjoy making terrain more that I like painting figures.
Great idea with Hotwheels.
A number of years ago Hotwheels did a bunch of dinosaur sets.
Was able to find a number on sale.
Once painted they added a lot to the game.

While my very limited contribution means I've no room to speak, I've got a feeling you'll see a 'paid in full.'

REALLY nice work, real silk purses out of sow's ears.

Oh, forget about that 'paid in full'; you KNOW we'll want more!

[Constable Bertrand]

THAT turned out very nicely Jan. 

It looks like it works, your little detail extras really help mate, and the triple set looks like it comes with 2 other exciting bits to play with too! 

Cheers
Matt

Wow, awesome terrain in this thread. Very creative use of toys to make terrain.

I agree it is fun to make terrain and scifi/fantasy gives you a lot of freedom
