I love the barrels! The billboard makes the grade too. 

Glad to see someone else using the Weird Krieg rules - the only reason I don't anymore is the existence of Pulp Alley.  It is a good solid system.

Another terrain piece done!  Nothing better after a long day of hunting stingwings and radstags then sipping some warm Gwennett Lager and relaxing on your ratty sofa. :)

This is impressive. All the bits are well placed and makes the entire piece interesting...a kill zone for the overly curious?

What truck is that? The cab seems a decent proxy for the FO3/NV ones. Nice job! Really full of character with all the small details.  8)

Well done!  Where did the furniture come from, if you don't mind my asking?

Thanks, glad you like it!  The truck is a Revell model kit I got off ebay for a couple bucks (paid more for shipping lol).  There was no scale listed for it.

The Rubbish sofa, chair and beer bottles are from BlackCatBases.  The explosives box is for O-scale train scenery detail from an ebay dealer.  There is a Tumbler Today magazine next to the chair that is just a shrunk-down pic, printed out, cut out, leaving space for a back cover, folded in half with some extra paper sheets inside for thickness. The 10mm pistol next to chair is Hasslefree.  The barrel is a HirstArts cast.  The white concrete bits were an attempt to help it blend in with the playing mat, just extra Hydrocal plaster left over from Hirst arts molds poured over textured plasticard to get texture on one side, plain on the other.

Ahh, I knew it looked familiar. I had looked at that same one on Ebay myself...  ;)

My signal relay station with raider roof shack is pretty much done, just need to add some minor details and touch up.  The grey interior door slides out, so the wall terminal can be hacked to get to whats inside the room.  The interior walls and base are Sintra foamed PVC board, my new most favorite thing for terrain building!  Sintra is like foamcore, but heavier, stronger, won't warp (yes, foamcore can warp), and won't melt with spray paint.  It can be cut with an X-acto knife, carved, heated to be bent (I'm thinking of curved factory walls in the future)  Does cost more though.  Base model is Plasticville's O-scale TV station.  Generator machine on exterior is Reaper Bones.  Consoles are Hirstarts casts.  Hope you like, and don't sleep on the grungy mattresses unless you own them!

Nice addition! I like it. Maybe for more Post Apoc feeling a harder weathering on the whole piece. i think on Rust on the Antenna, more Rubble and trash around the Building etc.

Agree. A bit too clean for Post Apo.

Thanks for the suggestions!  I think in the video game, the radio towers were actually pretty clean, but I agree it would look better with some rust.  I also need to print out another sheet of my paper debris to cut out and add to it (ran out) and add some dirt.
