6mm test buildings (updated 9/7)

[Dropzonetoe]

A few years ago I scavenged a few pieces of a honeycomb sheeting from my workplace.  I thought it would be useful for terrain making.  It just looked like a wall of broken out windows.  I finally decided to really see what I could do with it this weekend.

These two buildings are a test to see what I can make.  This is not my scale so I am learning as I go as well as learning how to handle a new material.
Please forgive my low quality painting it is not my strong suit but I am always willing to hear suggestions!

The base material and spraypainted black.

I think even with my simple paint scheme, in bulk, this could be an effective cityscape to play across.

Thanks for looking

Wow
That looks great!

[Commander Carnage]

That's very effective.

That's pretty damn cool...and I'm jealous of your Victor.

"That looks really cool." 
I just said that out loud, at work. Fortunately I work alone. Unfortunately you have me talking to myself.
I'd say your idea is working already. Please post some more shots when your city has grown.

[Dr DeAth]

They look very convincing as buildings with the windows blown out - may be worth trying one with some vegetation growing over it?

[MrHarold]

Looks great and would work perfect for a destroyed city me thinks! I like the vegetation idea, or even cotton puffs for smoke?

[Brummie]

Now do mountains of skulls and get some 6mm terminators 

Really cool buildings, very imaginative!

Thanks for all the kind words.  I had almost given up on wargaming and had not touched any of my stuff for almost 6 months.  It felt good to get the paint brushes out again.

I am hoping to get my hands on a pile of new materials for this weekend to build more.

I will definitely try some with overgrown vegetation on it.  That is a really good idea.
Nothing glued on but I think that idea really has potential.


Thanks again,
DZT

That looks awesome...some rubble at the bottom and you're set.  And of course...more paint on the Victor.

[Michka]

Awesome results. Looks like a building right out of "I Am Legend". The vegetation is a great addition.

[Mr Evil]

great job, its simplicity makes it fantastic,, why did i never think of that !!

[Brummie]

  The vegetation definitely gives it a glow, certainly less dark-nuclear apocalyptic and more abandoned

Great work!  I really like it for Alpha Strike, or BattleTech, or whatever!

Great idea and great work.  I might have to steal your idea if I can find some of that packing material.
