The shanty town is really coming together. I only have two more smaller buildings to convert and paint and it should be complete. After that I want to work up a bunch of incidental terrain pieces to go with it: barricades of scrap metal, catwalks, rusted burn barrels, crates and boxes, etc.
Here are some pics of the buildings together in a scene to give an idea of what the end result should look like. I am going for a really cramped and fortified town look for this. I might end up needing to make more buildings from scratch to expand the town and do some walls as well. But that's for another day...
Here are some pics:
Here are some pics of the power generator and power pylon I built. If they look familiar it is because they are made to look like the Quantum Gothic generator and pylon. I made these because at the time they had been out of business and I was unable to buy them. I liked the design so much I decided to build them myself. Apparently they are now back in business again. I hope to pick up their generator now that it is available again to add to mine. Mine is much bigger than the one they offered because I had a plastic container that was the perfect shape...just bigger.
Here they are:
Here is my pylon in raw plastic before I painted it:
More to come!
Looks really good! Quick - and slightly daft question - what have you used for the "ground"? It looks like some sort of fabric, but I can't quite make out what type of fabric it is?
ReplyDeleteThe ground mat is plush felt. I took a mid tone brown piece and sprayed it lightly with an orange floral tone spray. I then sprayed random patches with black spray paint for burned patches of grass and highlighted them with a light spray of white for the ashes.
