Not sure what you mean by shiney, James. Glossy, new, clean, smooth, etc?

Much appreciated

Edit: just had a thought.... The final highlight was in Off White ..... Maybe that looks like shine (reflection) in the photo?

I'm liking that a lot, I need to get my finger out and make some hills for my project.

It certainly has the look of another planet about it.

How quickly you have progressed this Steve, great work

Thanks Nick

The smaller scale makes for fast work.... if for 28mm the 6 tiles would have taken a lot longer, what with significantly more being required for the same play space. And there's only one complicated tile (the buildings), the rest were really speedy/easy.

I shall try prepping and painting the minis at the same time as I do a similar number of 28s - I'm reckoning on about a 1/4 of the time/effort required but we shall see.

Looking forward to seeing the figures next (after the mining installation is completed)

Thinking about it and now that I am at a PC, I'm not sure that the colours have transposed so well from real life to image

Here's another attempt, this time with tufts

Edit: Damn photography! Still doesn't look right on my monitor. It's influenced by the desert near El Paso, Texas.

I think your tufts might be a little bit too regular in their spacing

cheers

Doubled the quantity:

The first phase of the terrain is now finished, for a 60cm x 90cm board that can be laid out in a number of ways.

For the habitation area, most of the component parts are off-world prefabrications used in conjunction with local bulk-fill and rendering. Power cables are red, comms cables are green, water processing and storage tanks/pipes are blue and chemicals/fuel are indicated by yellow.

Phase 2 of the terrain will follow at some later stage and will add two more 30x30 tiles (to the right in the following map, which shows the existing tiles in a different layout) that will comprise a quarry or mine and an additional group of buildings with a workshop or lab.

Looks the bizz and your spreadsheet quality has improved

cheers

Excellent!

Who needs 28s!

Don't forget a green house/hydroponics for fresh vegetables and the like.

These are wreckers and roughnecks! They don't EAT vegetables!

Looks very good Steve. And envisioned and put together at lightning speed.
I think we must all just face the facts, that you like building terrain much more than you like painting figures

(Me too in some ways - maybe we should give up wargaming and take up model railways instead.
