That's going to be a great piece of gaming terrain.

Works well, LT. Good job.

Although a couple of the walkways appear to end at tiny windows and not doors as you might expect?

[belated] Thanks![/belated]

@Dr. H: Shh, those are not windows, they are trapdoors too!

Moved the walkways around a bit to solve the issue for now.

Orange stripes for colour, and hazard stripes, just 'cause hazard stripes, and some wheathering:





Getting closer.

C&C are always welcome.

Thanks for stopping by.

I love a good trapdoor I do

did you use masking tape for these perfect straight stripes?...looking amazing!

the plastic electrical boxes look great! I wonder if my local Lowe's has any?

probably...tho maybe in a variation of the theme...these kind of suplies have an amazing hobby value!

Some more shading in the 'ribbing' on the roofs? Also, in the future, signage en Castellano, por favor. Give the piece a more personalized touch. And, on the subject of signage, I recently found this, http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/symbols.php#id--Semotic_Standard which looks useful. Of course, I would recommend the ones in hexagons.

Some more bits of color to counter-act the overwhelming grayness? Final thought: some indication that the catwalks are attached somehow? A handrail?

Very nicely done, and very playable too. I like the catwalks best.

@Graven: Glad you approve, thanks!

@Vik: Even that you might think I did those free-handedly is flattering ! Yes, masked and painted, and sponged over that with thee base grey for chipping.

@Shaso: Agreeing with Vik above, I'd think so, too (These had a small metal insert, - fixing point for screws, easy to remove -, and were very cheap as well).

@Red H: Thinking about hoy to add some contrast on the roofs (the shading is there of sorts, but hard to get on the pics), colours would be better, wondering where and how, though. A rooftop flowerbed?

Signage: Great resource, As for writing in Castellano, I have never actually thought of it ! At least, I'll have to try some in English and Spanish next time, I guess

Tha walkways are not attached, to maintain lay-out flexibility. I might still add some guarding on them, fixed only to the catwalks (and not to the habs themselves) to keep them modular. I first need to figure out a shape that could work indistinctly if used on an horizontal walkway and on an inclined ramp without looking odd or slanted in either.

Cheers.

Very inventive blog, especially liking these Delaques and that machine on rails earlier on.
Will be interesting to follow your next projects...

Man proposes, the hobby gods dispose...

I wanted to do some more work on these before the Comp´s end, but such is life...

Not unhappy about hoy the turned up, quite decent for game use, even if I say so myself, could use detailing and touching up as Comp entries.

Keeping in mind the initial plan - quite quick terrain pieces, easy and rather fast to make and paint -, I'd said accomplished: 90% electrical junction boxes, mostly sprayed basecoat, washes and a bit od drybrushind and edge highlight (which could certainly be better).

And in action:



Cheers!

Excellent use of materials.

Looks absolutely amazing bud, really great for game play.

Good luck in the competition.

@Kernel Terror: Thanks, and very welcome! Things might be a little slow lately, but will keep moving. Some more on the Delaques is due soon.

@Cam: Thanks, mate. I've seen what you and some of the others have been up to, will be lucky just to make it to the final line up, great pieces all around

Cheers!

Great terrain pieces! And can't wait to see the upcoming Delaques. I love some Necromunda :-)

@Bottle: Thank you very much. Though delayed, the Delaques are next on the to-do, so if I don't get distract - oh, look, shiny

Didn't do much over weekend (again , and that makes.. how many weekends now?) , but, behold!

Deazone game, four players, four starter-set factions on the table. And my three little hab modules surrounded by JMMelo's magic terrain trunk contents:



(Actual quarrellers were our host, my eldest Cub, and two more friends. In the mood for something lighter, I was playing a board-game with some other friends on another table)

Cheers!

A Game Night? Fantastico! The hab modules fit perfectly.

No worries about the slow week-ends. At my current rate, I am finishing 1 mini per week. And not much else. This week-end doesn't look any better. We are expecting a guest, se llama Joaquin He's coming in from the Bahamas.

That table looks great. The hab modules fit in perfectly with the rest of the board.

I think I need to clarify that the terrain is from Maki, not Mantic

And it's all painted now (well, one 2'x2' table is!), minus some some detailing.

Woke up early today, so early it almost felt as if I'd fallen off the bed.

I got up. remembering I had a huge work backlog to catch up with, plus some things that needed to be taken care of around the house. To round it, it was depressingly drizzling outside.

Couldn't recall when I had last had a decent sit-down at the work bench...

Oh, feth it. Backlog will still be there tomorrow:











Red Harvest had sent this guy - with several other bits and goodies - as my 2° place price in the #11 Round of the LoER Terrain Comp "On The Road", and I'd been treasuring him since.

I figured that putting some paint on it would be a better way to honour him, and it's Sunday after all.

Cheers!

PS 1: Thanks, Warboss! I did have that in mind while building those, glad it came through!

PS 2: @JMMelo, those are looking good, will have to put them to the test again soon!

I do like that sculpt, shame the feet can get bent upwards meaning if you put the feet level he ends up on a massive lean forwards.

Nice looking sniper you have there LT.

@Knightley: It's a great sculpt, but yes, there's that. Actually, I hadn't noticed until those last pics, rethinking the base now to account for it.

@Gits: Wanted to try painting black, I think it came out well enough.

Did a last pearl grey highlight on the suit, and painted the tips of the bullets to bring them out a bit, but not much else. Basing is next.

Cheers!

Do love the look of that guy. Nice work on the black, very effective.

¿Por fin llegaron las lluvias? Truth be told, I just wanted to type "LL" a few times at the start of a word We've had plenty of rain here this week. Lots of coastal flooding. Glad I live inland. At least Joaquin stayed out to sea.

The ol' Vindicare. Glad to see you enjoyed it. He looks good all painted up. I remembered that you had mentioned that it is sometimes difficult to get minis, so I threw it into the bag.

Assassin is done:



Thoughts?

@Cam: Thanks!

@Red H: Lluvia came and stayed, very atypically, for the whole week. Seems Spring is going to be a bit late this year...

Glad you remembered and sent him over, hope you think justice was made to it!

Now to move on. The new round of the LoER Comp is up, and other projects await as well...

Thanks for stopping by.

I think he looks excellent. Would you consider doing some kind of simple camo pattern on the guns? Nothing extraordinary, just something to give them a little visual texture.

Nice work on the assassin dude. Does the job.

@Gits: I hadn't, but I'm seriously thinking about it now. Or maybe a camo cloth wrapped around the rifle barrel?

@Dr H: Thanks! That guy is all about getting the job done, so all is good!

( , I missed a brush hair on those pics!)

Cheers.

Me parece bien pintada. Such a nice mini that absolutely sucked in game play. At least in 2e and 4e 40k. Once I painted mine it went pretty much directly on display.

Change of pace, back to another ongoing project:

Grot Tanks Track WIPs:





Still work to do, but coming along...

Thoughts and comments are always appreciated.

Thanks for stopping by.
