always wanted to do something like a ocean rig and seeing Warhammer worlds ferro giant-alphus I decided to have a go, so lets go, started out with 6mm MDF board as base and Styrofoam block, some tubing for the legs which will be detailed and many games workshop kits, here are early pictures will update as I go along

Looking good! I'd suggest painting what you have built before going further and then adding layer after painting them. IIRC it's what the GW terrain team did, as otherwise you can't reach the innards to paint them.

I like it, especially the level of detail work on the scratch built parts! Only thing that throws it off for me is how the cylinders don't line up with the support pillars. Having them continue up throughout the structure will add the feeling of weight to them instead of having them offset and unsupported.

Many thanks, that is indeed an interesting piece...the flat side has its merits...
As for glueing stuff to that slick plastic , there are two options...:
One, you drill the plastic and shove the rods in it...or you use a mixture of super glue and backing soda ... together this forms an evil crystalline mess...sturdy as hell...but one knock could still scrap stuff off... you could sand of course the to be glued surfaces first...that can help...or carving thin lines....

Thats insanely cool... If I may suggest something though, maybe add some shacks, lean-tos or, if that doesnt work with your vision, maybe a shrine or something? Currently there doesnt really seem to be anything to allow people to inspect the site, to work there or anything... and actually, an access point could be useful as well. A pier, a bridge/pipeline leading to the mainland, that kind of stuff? Unless its only meant to be accessible by air, ofc.

back on board after a couple weeks of illness, started by adding flashing led lights to landing pad and painting started
started painting the supports, air brushed leadbelcher on a black base coat, it seems darker than the base coat they do and gave a mottled effect good for weathering as I progress, after a drybrush of leadbelcher base to bring out detail and a wash of sepia ink dry off with kitchen towel, next will be the detail painting and rusting
86442
Post by: bobbuilder
wanted the walkways to look like they were painted but time and weather have caused it to deteriorate over the years, how I did it black base, air brushed leadbelcher which drys with a mottle effect and darker than base leadbelcher which I dry brushed on randomly next after a coat of Vallejo sepia dried I started with sponging hellion green on then rusting was done with Vallejo browns, still got to do details and a final light sponge of leadbelcher but I think I have the desired effect, what do you guys think
also started landing pad, used crackle medium in places to see if I can another effect to weathering

The metal certainly looks grungy and corroded. If you're after an effect for multiple layers of knackered paint, then dsteingas has a great tutorial for it using salt weathering. I've used it for my Necromunda bulkhead and barricades and it is easy and effective.

This is looking great bob, it's going to be a really cool board when you're done. I especially love what you've done with the sea and supports, and the crane mounting.
The only thing that I'm not too keen on is the painting on the walkways - it looks a bit too blotchy for my taste with the high contrast between the remaining bright paint and the corroded/rusted bits. It's still carried off really well though.
Good job, I look forward to seeing more.

thanks for comments
needed to tidy up the edges on the games workshop floor panels which was done with foamboard and chequer plate lasticard handmade edging and miniature nuts and bolts, the triangle hole I covered with chequer plate and greenstuff sculpted to look like it's a welded repair
the connecting tabs under the floor stopped it being level so marked and will have to be grounded down to fit
just the small matter of painting all those pipes and cables now

Almost none of the curved platforms. That's unusual given their versatility.

Wow this is a lovely terrain project. I'm actually blown away most by the water. It looks so realistic and violent, I love it. Really gives the vibe of a massive storm out in the middle of some alien sea, with disgruntled Prometheum refinery workers walking across rusted platforms while some horrible xenos monsters waits beneath the surface, hoping one of the workers falls off and becomes a tasty morsel.
I'll definitely be following this! Exalted!

Just read through the whole thread. What amazing work.
Very creative and the amount of detail you’re putting in really bring it to life.
Can’t wait to see it finished!

Great Idea for the railings

I like the landing shuttle. I think it captures the spirit of what they intended for the Storm Raven than the kit by itself does.
