Ahh the Constable is lost in a galaxy far far away^^ I´ve already missed you in the Post Apocalypse! Nice Buildings you´ve done here sir. The first two Buildings looks a bit flat/naked on the wide roofs for me. Are you planning some technical stuff there like Aircondition, Watercollectors, Antennas etc. or do you want it a bit more empty there?

Great pieces of scenery, gotta steal/borrow that dice tower idea for my projects

Some most interesting shapes going on here.

Good point Delta. Like my shanties I wanted to try and stack 3 in a box, so flat roofs work better to that purpose.
But you are correct that does make them boring.

I haven't decided upon a magnetised solution yet.
The vaulted "Local" and the first "Market" with the arch have obstructions so will be on "top" when in their box.

So my plans for the market once I've painted it will be to add some wood/canvas sails protruding from the wall to shade the market below.
And the "Scrapyard" will have that empty space next to the building filled with odds and sods.
They have a few mechanical gubbins on the walls (the side I didn't photograph

) but hopefully not too much to make them a bit more generic genre wise.
Hopefully that will be interesting enough..
Otherwise I shall need to add an extra adobe dodad ontop. Keep your eye out Delta on the next pictures and don't let me slack off!

Thanks Poco! Go for it. Those other silly lads wasted a good opportunity with their towers

I have been gathering a pinterest page of Tatooine/scifi/spaceships if anyone is interested.

You bugger, there's some great stuff on there... I'm going to disappear for an hour or so

You certainly may "recognise" some of the stuff in there James.

Hope you don't mind if I tag your work, it's brilliant and needs a large audience.
There is some very interesting work out there in the modelling community, and I've found the photos of the old Tunisia sets have been a great resource for the colour and textures.

Pinterest is a vortex isn't it james.

Pinterest is the path to "is that the time?". Mos Eisley leads to mos espa, mos espa leads to tunisia, tunisia leads to middle eastern architecture, middle eastern architecture leads to castles, castles leads to ... what was I looking for again?.. cats.. "Whoa is that the time?"

Quick lads, to foam and PVA! He's distracted by shiney pictures. Build your sandports!

I bloody lost myself for two and half hours last night looking at all the stuff there

'Pin' whatever you want mate, it's all good

I was remembering my old uni days when there was only really 'Starship modeller' to look at (still there and quite a good site). My, how times have changed.

cheers

James

Is that all?

It really is amazing what people do and put up online, there is some fantastic resources and all for free.
I haven't taken out a magazine subscription to anything hobby related for ages, because none really capture all my interests and there are so many useful pictures, tutorials, blogs and videos available. It's fantastic.

I shall need to check out starship modeller again.

I'm the same as you Long Smile, for the last 3 years I've been dragging images to my desktop to sort into research folders, I've only switched to pinterest in the last 6 months and have in an effort to work from "the cloud". If only I could easily pin from chrome on my smart phone

THREADROMANCY - RAISE UP THY CHOSEN THREAD

So, I finished these, sort of. I got to the point where they are close to being finished, needing more scatter, more area light effects, more grime, then I ran out of puff. So they are finished! I finally managed to take piccies too.
