Nice! It really seems broken, but everything still looks new. Roll it in some mud, rinse a bit, then let the dust dry for a dirty ruin.

the materials are broken, but the buildings are not ruins. Im going for a more generic sci-fi look, not so much grimdark skull fetishist

undercoated with fluro linemarking paint zenithal sprayed over black and dusted with white


I blacklined them with a fineliner pen + silver/light grey edge highlights + gold bits, nice and quick







they happen to stack quite neatly into a larger structure, so i got that going for me, which is nice



If anyones interested in this set of terrain, ill be selling it off once im done painting it all as I dont actually play any wargames anymore

too colourful?

I like, they've got a lot of character.

cheers redbeard!


i did a pretty lame step by step of how im painting these for anyone intrested


spray random colours all over the black undercoat, alternating between cool and warm colours, im using builders linemarking sprays for this


dust with white, dust with yellow, dust again with white to bring the brightness up and is done

Awesome use of stuff and fantastic colours! Really getting the sci fi vibe from them!

Those buildings look great, the colours really seal the deal

What kind of materials do you use for this? I spotted some old computer parts here and there (or at least, what I think are computer parts; I'm no Tech-Priest), but the rest is largely unidentifiable. I'm guessing that has something to do with a "Broken Garage Hole"?

cheers guys!

ezra, the parts are a variety of components from disassembled dvd players, vcr tapes, cassettes, floppy discs, modems, power supply units, computer mice and whatever else i had lying around

theres a few mdf pieces (grills, doorways etc) added for detail and scale which are leftover parts from cnc miniature scenery

This terrain look fricking awesome dude!!!!!

Jesus Christ that's just...that's just...there are not that many existing official kits that could beat the sheer awesomeness of this!

thanks again dudes, glad you like em!

malika are you the same malika from the anargo(?) sector website from ages ago?



and added a claptrapish brobot made out of a dvd laser

Yup, the same Malika! If you remember me from back then, you might also remember the Ork ships and robots I made from e-waste.

I am tempted to delve into that again, I was very tempted to make a model of a hive city of all sorts of left overs from computers, pens, lighters, etc. Maybe I'll do it again, but then more related to this project.

I can't wait to see you also giving it a shot with interior stuff, so chairs, tables, desks, closets, computer panels, etc. Larger spaces might fit vehicles, how about some equipment to lift up vehicles for example, cranes etc. would be quite cool!

those ork ships and robots were really cool man! i actually hadnt thought of doing interiors, with the new infinity starter set coming out its probably perfect timing to give it a try

Wow. Ver nice use of cast off materials.

Thanks! Does the Infinity starter set include terrain? Personally I find your stuff to be more interesting than most of the terrain I've seen used for Infinity. Whilst their stuff is cool, it all looks like that generic CNC cut stuff, which lacks any real character. So please just keep on scratchbuilding your stuff!

Awesome, and inspiring.

Creative and well achieved use of (seemingly) random parts for a great result. Just keep disassembling if it is going to mean you'll assemble more of this afterwards

These are fantastic, brb, I'm off to smash up my laptop.

i managed to finish detailing the landing pad last night. Was a bit doubtful about it at first because it was just an experiment with the top and bottom of a dvd player flipped and reglued together

yeah it comes with cardboard terrain so i daresay a lot of people will be keen on something a bit more substantial

Wait is this a tower places on top of the landing pad? Well it could work I guess, but doesn't that defeat the purpose of a landing pad?

One thing that's kinda missing from these designs are the rivets. I mean, I know this stuff seems slightly more higher tech, so rivets might not be needed. However, the stuff does all seem to be scrapped and bolted together, so something along the lines of rivets and such might be fitting.

i like this stuff a lot, with less of a high tech/sci fi vibe it could work really well with necromunda, am sure i have some stuff that can be "recycled"

Wow I've got to paint my Infinity miniatures first, but if I can scavage some e-parts around here, I'm definitely looking into making terrain out of it. The painting you did ties everything together and very sci-fi looking.
Could you explain what the 'dusting' is? Did you spray the colour from a distance to get this effect?

Some rivets, spikes and skulls and it's perfect for Necromunda! Note that Necromunda had more of a cyberpunk feel than 40k has. So a lot more industrial and a bit less gothic.

Looks awesome - can't wait to see some paint on there

started painting my first infinity model for scale ref shots with this terrain

yeah you guessed it, just spray from a distance, to get an overall light coverage that gives the illusion of a light source

Cool repurposed stuff, man. And your paint jobs are both simple and awesome.

well I have gained a newfound respect for anyone who has had the displeasure of having to paint an infinity model; so much detail, so little forgiveness

Oh man, those are intense! I even love just the black primer. Bravo!

I see it as all welded together. No need for rivets all the time. Looks great. Might have to go scrounging for some E-waste now.

Whilst the welded together look might work for Infinity, the 40k/Necromunda aesthetic seems to be more defined by vast amounts of rivets and skulls.

I am really digging this though!

By the way, what is that jungle terrain the figure is standing on?

the 'jungle terrain' is a ficus bonsai in my sunroom

Heheheh, looks cool like that though! I kinda miss that style of organic terrain.

Great stuff.

You have a gifted eye at recognizing what can be used to add detail to terrain.

The paint brings it all together into a random, but unified look as well.

basecoated the laser control thing, forgot to put a security camera on it

This stuff is just brilliant! What kinds of stuff do you source the parts from?

I guess he gets it from the garbage or something, or whatever left over equipment people have?

Really digging the laser cutter device, was waiting to see you make some actual equipment rather than just buildings!

yeah im just using whatevers arouund, Ive found 90's era tech has the right kind of 'futurism' for this terrain. I was doing a sculpture for an exhibition last year that I built out of e-waste parts and then grew salt crystals all over, so I collected a lot of broken electronics from the local dump to make that and ive still got a bit left over.

does whatever a landing pad does

love everything about this...most of all finding a use for old garbage.

I really like the painting tutorial. Great thread.

Love the laser cutter.

Its great how its all believable, when I manage to get enough models done I'm defiantly attacking some desk tops.

Didn't think much of this at firsts then I saw the terrain after painting , full of win mates. Very impressive.

I stripped these cnc buildings of most of their gubbins for other buildings so i had to do a phantom edit with some crap i had lying around to spruce them back up to standard.
undercoated with the old line marking spray, ready for some detailing tonizzy



and im painting that laser beam machine, stupid thing is taking ages didnt predict how detailed it would be

I think the extra time spent on the beam machine is paying off, I'm getting a "Fallout Vault" vibe from it, looks fantastic.

I would like to see some chipping on the floor, or perhaps some small work debris in the corners, papers? Or just good old workshop build up.

Looking forward to more.

Hmm, next up would be some higher buildings, stuff that's 3 or more floors high.

I was wondering how to replicate the "Neo Tokyo at Night" vibe used in the Infinity artwork, and your paint tutorial nailed it.

Awesome work. I think I'll be heading home via the used PC shop.

Shop? I would just head off to the garbage pile! I don't know how it works in the UK, but here in Holland we have the garbage dump, which is where people bring their garbage which is too big to throw in the bin (old furniture, building waste, etc), they often also have an e-waste department where you can find all sorts of old crap.

However, like the shops they might charge you money or be difficult about it since garbage apparently is very valuable.

Well here in the UK.... well in my city anyway, there is a dump, electrical goods go into a container, they don't come out. If you turn up with anything closely resembling a TV it draws the attention of the dump gnomes and is hurriedly dragged away.

Can you throw the stuff in yourself? Is there a means of taking the stuff out of the container? Perhaps you could talk to the guys working there, tell them you need old electronic equipment for an art project or something. It might just work.

That is amazing!
Now I'm glad that I didn't throw away all of those old printers and floppy disks.
Subbed.

I just realized you used 3.5 inch floppy disks as bases on that laser control room. Brilliant. Just brilliant.

thanks for all the comments and support guys, it means a lot


as far as collecting e-waste goes, ive never had problem at my local, but attitudes will differ depending on where you are, I guess in Europe you guys would have a lot of regulations at your dumps? Not as much barren desert wasteland to dump your unwanteds in

These pieces look excellent!

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? Consider these ideas stolen.

Hmm, looking at all of them piled up like that is even more reason for me to yell at you that you should make some taller buildings!

Wow, these are great! I love the upcycling and tons of detail. It's really, really good. You've inspired me to revisit the quick and crappy stuff I've done in the past.

Thanks for sharing!

That color palette for the buildings is perfect.
What was the technique and steps, specifically to get that look?

Really like the look of the Stacked one, maybe height is your friend, really works.

You could attempt to make a three tiered modular piece?

putting it all on ebay because im broke and need to eat in the future, thanks 4 watching guys

I hope you do well with this.

Make sure to link it here, gwaahr!

been trying to drum up some interest to make a sale outside of ebay fees but havent had much luck, shoot me a pm if youre interested in buying a set of 5 or 10 and ill cut you a special dakka deal


thanks for looking guys

If you're interested in selling the pieces you might want to post it in other Necromunda/Infinity communities as well?

yeh its up on infinity.com, not sure where necromundans hang out these days

You could try it here: http://gaming.yaktribe.org/community/

Less e-waste and more lasercut/CNC stuff, you did manage to give it some more character, which is nice!

Beautiful, beautiful stuff! I built some Necromunda terrain out of old computer parts back in the day but it didn't look anyway near as cool as this.

I'm surprised how well the neon spray paint works. The gritty weathering really ties it together and gives it all a great cyberpunk feel.

got a couple of WIP shots today, started adding colours and shade to the garage. its almost ready for highlights


and smashed out these foamcore huts yesterday, still need more details but theyre getting there, some starting to develop an identity

still gotta paint the vending machine screen and junk but yeh

Amazing work!

Great looking stuff! Love the colours

Are you doing this: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/619261.page ? You definitely should!

Cheers the headsup mars2024!


and thanks for the support guys, sometimes it feels like im having long conversations with a cell wall in this part of dakka

Man, there is some great use of junk in this thread - awesome work.

And your paint scheme works amazingly well on this stuff, the faded flouro look fits the bill perfectly, and is fairly simple too. Going to have to grab some of those flouro sprays at some point now....

thanks monkeytroll!


I rushed through painting this cnc garage this arvo, just noticing all the rushed sloshyness now its in picture form but yeh whatevs, was fun to paint, sick model.

And I still think the stuff you made from e-waste looks a lot more interesting! Keep at it! I'd love to see a tower, or perhaps something like a crane?

Hmm, how about some inspiration?

That is sheer awesome, man. As much as it has an Infinity vibe, it reminds me more of a town out of Borderlands!

Hmm, it also kinda reminds me of Hawken!

I love borderlands and the more stuff is like that the better!

assembled the CNC Industrial Pipes Playset last night... theyre pretty siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick, good value too


looking forward to painting this bad mamajama

That looks fun!

got some new paints in the mail, pretty keen to see what i can do with these


and started work on the test model for an operation icestorm commission,
i tried out the fluro orange on the glowy bits as a glaze just to give it a bit of pop and it seems pretty decent for that purpose..might need 2 thin glazes rather than 1 though

Awesome stuff, man. Just amazing.

thanks Warbro Waaazag!


wips showing the colouring, shading and highlighted stages

I really love the vibe of all of your buildings. And your painted minis look pretty great, too. Very nice!

[WIP] shading the blue with more pinky undertones on one side of this guy for variation..

You are too good at this - stop making us all look bad

Incredible and inspiring terrain. I will be using this thread for when I need to make some Necromunda terrain next. Thanks for the great thread!

Great work on the Pano stuff!

thanks dude! these are the first infinity models ive painted so theres a bit of a learning curve, very detailed little models compared to GW/PP

Well you've done a great job with them! Personally I think the details help a lot and make it much more fun to paint. Although I haven;t tried the other stuff so I can't really talk

Gorgeous painting - You've really done justice to these minis and I bet they look great on your terrain

That's some lovely work there, and as Ruglud said, they fit the aesthetic of your terrain wonderfully. Good job

With a couple of these sickarse dunebuggies assembled im Officially 1 step closer to making tiny tiny borderlands a reality...just need to convert up some angry shotgun toting midgets

thanks bro! i sold all my terrain though :( need to build another set if i wanna try playing one of these war games again

Don't forget to convert that stuff a bit, so it will look a bit less like laser cut wood.

Beautiful stuff there! Can't wait to see more!

Crazy good. Love the abstracted colour scheme on the terrain and the slick minis.

Awesome terrain!

aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh so amazing. I'm totally ripping off the e-waste scenery, thank you so much.

cheers bros!

Can I ask what you prime/prep the MDF stuff with before painting?

By the way, this might inspire you!

This is either inspiring or demoralising. Can't decide which. :-P~

Your Infinity models are excellent, and the buildings sound so simply painted, but look amazing! Did you end up selling the full city set, and what is your ebay name?

This stuff is ludicrously good. Subscribing for future amazement.

Yeah most of it went to a happy customer in the states, couple of little bits and pieces to fellow ozzies my ebay username is "freshpaintcommissions" but im working on a new set currently so theres no terrain up there yet. Im always open to commissions though

started building a deluxe sewage station this arvo using bits from the CNC Workshop Miniature Scenery industrial pipes and building widget sets,
its fun seeing what can be done with different combinations of the kits

That's one elaborate sewage plant. Very cool. I like big terrain pieces.

Thanks guys, its a sweet kit to work with, very modular

did a little bit more work on the old pump station this arvo, added a few details and built a connector piece to the other set of industrial pipes i already built

discovered today while basecoating that you can get a pretty decent cracked paint effect by putting slightly too much matte fluro spraypaint over half wet glossy enamel, it kind of pools up and dries like real crackley looking bro

(the colours on this building are jacked.. the more i look at the more it pisses me off..needs to be slightly less rainbow warriors)

Nice accident there, looks really good.

i restocked my spraypaints and got to work this arvo basecoating all this junk, still a few more bins and things to do but theres enough blacklining work there for tonight anyway

 Red Harvest wrote:

magnificent pipeworks! I may have to give that kit another look now. They'd go well with the AW portables I have coming at some point.

Just brilliant, so inventive, so colourful.

the next infinity project on my painting milkcrate is a Pan-O commission for mr Topher with this scheme:

is gonna be fun

i did a quick photoshop of angel's studio models to test the blocking of the colours, im considering doing aqua glowy bits to contrast the evil eyes, i like the yellowy green base tone so probably keep that but add purpls to the shadows.



but today im painting CNC elf terrain and im feeling very inspired by my favourite kind of icecream

painting the walkways first so i can get the hang of the colour shifts before going nuts on the elven tower

Fantastic looking terrain Gwaahr. The CNC terrain is great and you've just made it look even more spectacular.

The old computer stuff was excellent too. Very ingenious use of old crap. The landing pad was my favourite bit.




Also, what kind of ice cream is that?

Assuming you've answered it before, but there is so much awesome stuff in here I kinda only looked at the pictures, but is your tagging mostly pens or paints or combination?

I use permanent markers with a fineliner tip to do all the blacklining on my terrain, and brushes for any other stuff like graffiti

(mostly CNC workshop stuff, the trees and building are homebrew)

What did you use for the trees?

And where can I get some? They're very cool...

Trees are cool. They look like styrofoam and craft store plastic plants, no?

Trees are from a $2 shop, bases are cork and sand

Wow your painting style is soo nice :p
If Infinity did have the anime feel already, I think your gritty style could have been a perfect theme aswell. The detailed minis with realistic tones are a nice addition to all the color many people use, including me :p
Can I ask how you manage to tie every miniature together? Do you drybrush everything with a same light color, or just highlight with a same color? like you dust your buildings?
And I like the skull base detail on the bandaged ghulam. I haven't seen such a thing in Infinity because it seems a bit too dark for the game, but it fits your style very well ^^

thanks man! I always use 'zenithal preshading' to give my minis an overall light source, then I use a lot of washes and glazes in a kind of watercolour style to give me my colours.

Maybe seeing you paint them will stave off my desire to start another faction in Infinity.

Really awesome stuff, colours are superb.

Always happy to see more of your stuff.

Those buildings look really nice.

cheers bro!

finally got round to actually finishing off some of these yujings

Yup, those look hot.

I love the toxic spill down the side of the base...

cheers mate!

i was a bit iffy about the toxic spill but liking it now i look back on it

Loving the additional Infinity stuff. Although I'd love to see you expan the palette for the different factions.

quickly painted up these CNC Workshop Pantheon Ruins, tried a light texture spray, might go a bit harder next time though

the space monkies are actually the same colours almost as the yujing, just in different quantities and the fluro green swapped for a turquoisey blue

i love to try and fit purple shading into everything

Never get bored of your soft pastel colours, very nice stuff.

WIP imperial agent spatchcock rank

Nice.

Love the green ponytail.

Looking very nice gwaahr, its really interesting to see how you got that nice effect on the armour.

Think this guy could be my fav infinity model, hes got moxi this little robet, reminded me a little of the scouts in chappie

adds a bit of texture

Mr Crab Bot

That splatter effect is just awesome.

finished yujings

Fantastic stuff. Yours is possibly my favorite interpretation of the Yujing I've seen so far.

They are really impressive gwaahr.

Looks great. A different and awesome take on those.

Same goes for the terrain: just

Keep it coming!

thanks guys!

heres some modular hab blocks made from plastic food containers and cnc workshop building widgets

Oooh those look really nice. I wonder what you'd be able to do with that terrain spruce by maelstrom's edge...

Nice to see some WIP shots. Your style is pretty unique. Yu Jing stuff looks great as does the terrain.

cheers ckig!


nomad test models WIP havent decided on the base colour yet

yeah theyre pretty cool sets

How do you exactly achieve that wonderful spotted effect? I'd be really interested to see what your process is.

Theres an example of how gwaahr paints them towards the top of this page.

Great stuff, as usual. You're giving me some good ideas for how I'll paint my Nomads.

wip

Looking great as usual!

just coz i needed another distraction, started painting up a chaos blood bowl team this arvo. theyre green so they can be used as nurgle mans if need be

(WIP)

Those models have been on my "I'd love to buy list for quite a while. You really done them justice!

I really love the armour on those warriors

These minis are all fantastic, just as usual. What's with the floating base on that one Chaos Warrior, though?

Those chaos warriors do look excellent your painting style really works for Blood Bowl minis.

The fluro yellow is very nice is that the Vallejo one?

yeah, theyre not bad, cant recommend the blue tho (its not really fluro)

these are the New Paranoia Hedges, the $2 shop plastic aquarium plants were my personal touch


the client has built the buildings out of Sand Huts with the addition of Building Widgets

finished off the last of the bloodbowl team t'day


and a rocket man... burnin' out this fuse up here alone

I think it's gonna be a long long time....

Before I see a cooler Blood Bowl team!

i wanted to make this guys visor colours hot fluro pink but i realised i dont have any hot fluro pink, which sux. Note to self: source hot fluro pink

No no no no..

Excellent, as usual. Still no speckle-style tutorial, though?

nah not yet

here is a simplified version in the meantime:

Step 1. Paint Model
Step 2. Complete!

Thank you for the tutorial. . . I feel so enlightened.
Your Nomads are looking fantastic. The pastel colors really do the trick.
C'mon, at least give me this: do you use an airbrush to make those speckles?

haha, i thought you'd like that one

mate, its just white spraypaint on black spraypaint, nothing fancy

then just glaze in the colours and add highlights + zazz

Great work, Phresh. Those skeletons are pretty spooky, and the purple dreads are sweet. I like the sort of comic book-esque direction you've taken on those crates. Will you be exploring that style more, or is it just a one-off?

why yes

You have such a cool and unique painting style. Max contrast with lots of pastels. So good.

cheers m8!



(geckos in background are wip)

What an amazing set of models, man. I'd love to see them in action at some point. Any battle reports coming up?

alas i only have time for painting these days, last ruleset i knew enough to play was 4th ed 40k :/

but im hoping some of infinity clients who know each other will do something of this ilk

I like the choice of colours on those nomads. Nice punky look.

The Borderlands terrain is awesome as well! Really fits in well with your stuff.

Absolutely beautiful, as usual. What's up next? I think that your visual style would fit perfectly with some Bakunin.

cheers mate, theres a couple more borderlandsy things coming

actually im back painting the kays after almost a year or more maybe, its bin long enough that i cant remember the last thing i painted for that game

i have a FW lord of change, which will be interesting, it came to me half painted, i guess the previous commission painter gave up halfway through so this will be a collaboration of sorts

I missing your insane terrain, so I ran into this, which I think might encourage you: http://pigironblog.blogspot.nl/2015/06/tech-terrain-boards.html

WIP bigbird

OOOOOOOOH!

some piorettas




so many details hidden all over this thing, its like each little section needs to be treated as it's own model and yet it all must relate and kinda flow together.

and heres a cryx turban enthusiast ive been painting in between layers on bigbird

Both looking very nice.

The had casting the, well I've no idea what it is looks very cool.

Wow that looks totally amazing, really love how the wings have a kind of glow/warmth effect just from the colours you used.
