JoeRugby Builds A...Fences (Finished)

[JoeRugby]

Terrain & Scenery Thread

Finally got around to buying a new jigsaw and workbench so I can get back to making some scenery.( finally!)

In this thread I'll be scratch building and building some kits

I'll be doing something with these


....This


Building this


Finishing this


The battlezone fortification sprues are a right PITA to work with but I want this to have another tower, It'll all be glued together because of the fortification sprue issues.

.....And this




Had this at Christmas, had a few near misses with ruining it so pretty scared of this beast.
The door sections are crazy fiddly and fragile and I've broke (but managed to repair) 3 of the 8 I've put in so far.

Thanks for looking C&C always welcome.

That first pic looks a bit heavy for 28mm - moving to 54s?

Braver man than I to tackle that Inn in the last pics - way above me so well done getting this far 

[JoeRugby]

Thanks Andrew

Super Happy Panda Noodle Bar

I fell in love in love with this kit when it was first shown.

My Girlfriend got me this for my birthday a couple of weeks ago, Firestorm had a delay getting it so I only got it Saturday.



Here's what you get in the box.


MDF is pre coloured  Pro tip - there is a layer of paper over the top of the white bits to avoid any laser soot/ burn marks. Don't be a muppet like me and email Antenocities workshop asking Why it's not coloured ( a big thank you to Nadine at Antenocities for being kind to me when I realised I was a muppet)

The panda is gorgeous but really fragile until you glue it all together.

Leisurely Progress after 2 episodes of 24


Really easy kit to put together

Only issue I have is that there no instructions for the kitchen area table, or where the resin parts (other than the door pieces and what you can see in pics online) are supposed to go.

And 1 episode later
All the external MDF parts are all done (really easy kit), I've added a bit of paint to the kitchen counter (still not worked out how to assemble the table yet) and painted the the edge of the Panda sign black.



Now to clean up the resin pieces, get them painted and in the building.

I'm debating on magnetising the Panda sign for storage/ make it less likely to get snapped of when I'm being an oaf.

Do you think I should paint the edges of the White parts to get rid of the MDF charred brown? And Should I magnetise the Panda or just glue on?

[SBRPearce]

Magnetise your Panda!

[lasgunpacker]

Nice to see that kit in the "real world".

I vote paint the edges white, and magnetize the panda. Would not want to do all that work and then snap the namesake sign.

[JoeRugby]

Thanks both

In the end I didn't magnetise the panda, the MDF was too thin for the magnets I own and I'm being cheap.

It's finished









Close up of the pantry


Might go back and get a couple of varnish coats over the TV monitors and I need to clean up that yellow smudge on the shelves

Review
Negatives
No instructions for the interior placement and table build - you can work it out from pics online tho
No floor - this is the big let down for me, I would have preferred it to have a floor but your mostly going to use on an urban table so shouldn't look that weird.

Positives
That Panda is so damn cute......
Really easy build
Great detail on the resin bits
Don't need to paint anything if you don't want too but the resin bits look really nice with the extra colour.
I really love that panda.

Overall really happy with the kit, if you play sci fi games and can get your hands on this I think you should

And that really cute Panda thinks you should too


Thanks for looking

Nicely done.

[JoeRugby]

Not done much hobby for the last few weeks, and I've been even worse with scenery. i have managed to get some games of deadline in though so thats a plus.

I did put together the wolsung stalls i picked up in April.



Now to prime and paint them. Anyone have experience priming MDF with GW spray?

Also working on these for some chain link fences.


Two sets in the pic, The set in the middle will be for sale after I'm done (part of me trying to part fun my hobby budget each month one for me one for you type of thing.)

Next job is to get some sand on the bases before putting the mesh on, then painting time.

Thanks for looking.

[JoeRugby]

And on the Wednesday sand was added to the bases



With the sand sealed on the Thursday

Going to cut and glue the wire mesh on the weekend. (Hopefully I have enough)


Anyone reading able to recommend a cheap spray paint to use on the scenery?
Would rather not use expensive miniature sprays

[JoeRugby]

The mesh arrived and was added this morning, just used hot glue.

Ruler and mini to show size


and a close up


just need to buy that spraypaint and i can prime then dry brush the sets.

thanks for looking

[JoeRugby]

The Fences are Finished


Pics







In the end i just picked up some army painter spray paint as i got impatient and it was only 76p more expensive than the halfords spray.

Once sprayed they were all dry brushed

Keeping one set the other is already on the Ebay
