Hey guys, this is a 3D printed bunker I bought on Amazon that I've spruced up a bit with the Maelstrom's Edge terrain sprue and some paint.

Here's a picture of the bunker by itself. It's a little blocky/plain/flat, but for $8.00-$10.00 it's hard to complain.



Added some pieces from the Maelstrom's Edge terrain sprue, the ladder is from a 40k building I had sitting around.







Primed it black and threw on some color. I'm a sucker for Citadel paints...I used Skavenblight Dinge for the concrete, washed w/ Nuln Oil and tried to highlight w/ Dawnstone. The metal was done w/ Leadbelcher, washed w/ Nuln Oil as well. Used a bronze Citadel paint for the ladder, can't remember which one exactly. Nuln Oil for the wash.









It's nothing to write home about, but I'm pretty happy. Some of these 3D printed pieces are good and cheap alternatives to the more expensive (while awesome) GW plastic sets...plus it's fun to make your own stuff.

Here's a link to the bunker on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Paintable-Bunker-Printed-Scenery-Buildings/dp/B00TNXB1SA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481304364&sr=8-1&keywords=3d+printed+bunker .

Next up is making a decent base for the bunker to sit on. I've got some foam core board/basing materials and am looking to pick up/make a few other accoutrements (barrels, fences, etc.) to fit the standard science fiction look/military outpost I'm going for.

Comments and criticism are more than welcome, would love some feedback and suggestions on how to improve.

Looks interesting but I have to ask - why a ladder laid flat along the roof?

I'd move the ladder... elsewhwere. Itherwise it looks awesome.
