Whalemusic360: I know right, after I painted the base coat I thought it would look all better cracked but holding the mallet in my hand & looking at the room then back at the mallet you start thinking, this is not going to end well.
Jin: I have just completed the final build of the hard part of page 2 of the HA plans. This means I have a nice stock pile of ready pieces to paint. It also means the hardest part to this process is now over. Cheers.
Master Azalle: Thanks, I am glad you think so:-)

Very hard to take something you've worked hard to make as perfect as possible and then flink it up beyond all recognition. Some of us can't do it with just weathering, even knowing we can go back and repaint if we have to. Well done here- fantastic look achieved.

Meer_Cat: Cheers, today I accidentally stood on one of the pieces I had drying in the sun, Argh! Still, the worst is now over.
Why Susan, Why?
I also made what we here in Australia call a 'Lazy Susan' Basically it's the condiments tray thingy that sits in the middle of the dinner table that rotates 360 so you can grab what you want. I picked up a ball baring base plate, cut a slab of MDF, sanded it round-ish & then slapped the two together. Now the base painting has flown along & is so much easier to do. Here are some of the new pieces already prepped.

Page 2 of the HA plans almost assembled as per the instructions, however, I still need to complete 3 more rooms. Page 2 is the most work but the end of the build/base coat stage is now in sight. The last page, page 3 is thankfully small by comparison. Miscast pieces you see were used & will be turned into battle damage or wear.

Astounding volume of work! I know the pictures don't even begin to convey how many pieces and castings it takes to make each room. I use a variety of Hirst Arts molds myself- have been tempted to try some Space Hulk terrain myself- but the sheer volume of what you're doing is incredible. you must have cast those molds dozens, if not a couple hundred, of times.

Yup, I think it's 34 casts each to get the basic plan foot print of X floor tiles then the diamond & then the grate & a few Xs as well (the X with a slight diamond pattern) Then there's the industrial edge too that's required but of course I then added industrial edge to the top of the walls doubling my work load as well and finally there is all the little extra detail to the walls & even the walls themselves. That took a lot of casts as they are double thick. Smart money would have been to buy several of each mold but I only have one of each! That's the crazy approach.

The Chapel
Just an update on the chapel, including heavy dry brushing as the gothic molds really lend themselves well to this, next, the finer detail begins. I've decided to call the Terminator Bwian, he's not a real terminator:-) Cheers.

That is going to be one hell of a ZM game if you use them all at once. I'm looking forward to seeing your models painted up as well.

Whalemusic360: I have so many pieces built now it's crazy, I am wondering if they will all fit on my dining table...and I have a big dining table:-)
Here I am building up the texture for the more pronounced rust, base coating the skull & detailing consoles. It's a bit of a mix as work continues. The difference in the floor is that this one is base coated black which I feel is too harsh & needs to be redone in line with the others (it was a test). Floors will only be half done until the very end so they eventually all match. Cheers.

Orange 3
A new room basically complete. I need to tidy up some of the paint work & spend a little more time on the rust otherwise were good for now. Eventually more writing needs to go in and some decals too but that can all wait as there is just so much to do.
Bwian is hiding.... because of the loud noises............. in the corridor.

Final detail to an earlier room & a new corridor starts to take shape too. Bwian on the other hand seems a little lost. Cheers.

Two sections currently being worked on. One, with all the detail painted in & the other already heavily rusted. Obviously I will tie everything together later on, they are just at different stages of completion for now. Cheers.
Bwian's on another deck:-)

MajorTom11: Thanks, glad you're enjoying it.
I was recently asked for a rust tutorial (not on Dakka) & without going into all of the details here are most of the photo's from it.
Last couple of photos, Bwian's backed into a corner...it doesn't look good.

Unpainted skulls starting to be added, I have a lot of work ahead of me, I will also add Genestealer slime before calling it done.
Bwian's made some new fwiends, I mean friends. Cheers.

Big H: Cheers, glad you're continuing to enjoy it & yes it will get a lot of use. I don't actually have the game, my mate does so at some point I will pick up my own dedicated mini's but first the ship.
OK, I got around to painting the first of the skulls & adding the slime, I kept it away from the gaming area as much as possible & am thinking of running a bit of super glue down some of the finer lines for added strength. Not sure if it will go cloudy or not but that could be an interesting effect too. There are 2 tiles together in the photo's with only one obviously being completed at this point. Cheers.
Bwian doesn't like spiders, Bwian's a bit of a sook.
