Very nice! Looking forward to seeing more

Thanks Guardling.

Painting started.

There are the three pieces together.

The two whose bases join.

Another angle.

One that shows the interior destruction.

Here was a case where the kit did not have an even number of column sides, so I filled with one with chicken wire to create the illusion of rebar in the core.

That looks gorgeous Captain, keep it up!!

Looks excellent CB, might have to pick up that kit for myself.

That base on the ruins is awesome. And good job on the collumn.

Thank you muette, Olthannon, and Not Online!!!

To reduce the loading time I spoiler marked six of the photos.

I'm loving this terrain piece, Cap!

I absolutely love the addition of the roof beams, they do a lot to make it a believable ruin that was once an actual building.

Cracking work on this kit Captain! I’d seen it on a couple of stores and was tempted, I’m now more tempted as yours looks really great, particularly the two pieces that fit together. I second Gwyn on the addition of the roof members, they add a good bit of claustrophobia to the scene.

Love this CB. I think the light beige highlight was a great choice.

Thank you KidCthulhu, Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll, gobert, and Olthannon.

I finished up these tarp covered boxes on pallets.




Very cheap made from chipboard, baby wipes, glue, and paint...oh and a few pennies for weight.

The long painting and converting war continues...

CB

They look great, very simple and very effective

I like a good tarp

Have you tried the same thing with kitchen roll? You get a bit of free texture and with the glue coating should be just as robust.

Flinty wrote:Have you tried the same thing with kitchen roll? You get a bit of free texture and with the glue coating should be just as robust.

Thank you Flinty, I have not tried kitchen roll (is that cheese paper?) The wipes are strong enough to be pulled and have creases made and tightened without them splitting.

Thanks gobert,

Next up are two regular GW pallets with some crates and boxes.




The long painting war continues...

CB

Nice pallets full of stuff, do you have a forklift to keep with them?

Thanks gobert.

Great stuff, Captain. There are so many things out there that make great terrain. I guess that's why I have so many drawers filled with random crap in the garage.

I believe 'kitchen roll' is what we here in the states would call 'paper towel'. Not sure what the proper Canadian nomenclature is . . .

Jokes aside, I love the tree-lights!

Thank you DJJazzyJeff and Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll.

I also have bout four drawers filled with plastic items I have found/saved/bought at the dollar store.

I have been working on the Nachmund terrain. The box is massive and the terrain sprues fill it to the top.







The long painting war continues...

CB

What kit is that? Is that a factorum ?

It is the Battlezone: Fronteris – Nachmund set.

Cutting it out was a beast as there was so much material on the sprues.

Drilling holes for the magnets in the fences which can connect to the STC Hab-bunkers and stockades.


One set of fences.


Now you have to watch the polarity of the magnets or they might repel your connections.

That is fabulous looking terrain, Cap'n. The module with the tanks and hazard stripes is really quite eye-catching.

Enough pieces to anchor a good-sized playing board and beautifully weathered- wonderful work!

Another great looking terrain set there captain. It must have taken ages picking out all of those details

This was a fantastic entry CB! I like the pops of colour that zap out of the dull grey. Great stuff.

Landing pad looks excellent, good colors and clean caution stripes.

Very nice, landing pad is my favourite with its splashes of colour!

Awesome work on that lot! The little details you’ve picked out are great. The landing pad is superb!

Thank you youwashock, Meer_Cat, Maharg, Olthannon, ph34r, Guardling, and gobert.

I finally was able to get some of the guys out for a test game of classic Necromunda. Orlocks versus Goliaths.









Now a couple of their kids want to come out and play...so I might get all the painted gangs a leader.

The long painting and converting war continues...

CB

Great terrain, I really like how that one gray electrical conduit box came out. I keep eyeing them at the hardware store.
This might get me motivated to pick up a few.

Great and classic looking board

Awesome looking board - great stuff.

What an incredible combination of found items, conversions, kit pieces, imagination and- mostly- plain hard work and elbow grease! So much painting, detailing and customization- a pleasure to see. The longer I look the more I notice.

Congratulations, Captain, on a terrific project, well-executed, brought to a conclusion (at least this configurtion!)

Rock on!

What a fantastic board CB! Great use of colour to make it look very eye catching. I think the only thing it is missing is an 'orrible beastie emerging from that pool of green sludge!

That Necromunda table looks awesome!

Ooph! That is one dense Necromunda board capt! Must’ve been loads of fun to play over

That is one awesome table.

The Necromunda board is sick. My favorite part is the barrels of toxic waste.

Thank you Tommygun1918, Illumini, mattjgilbert, Meer_Cat, Olthannon, shasolenzabi, gobert, Not Online!!!, and ShadowsAndDust for all your posts.

I have started another classic Necromunda tower rebuild, this one uses fewer plastic verticals. I am also going to re-use the original cardboard tower.



The long painting and converting war continues...

CB

Loving the terrain CB,,, your paint work and weathering is first rate,,,

New tower looks promising!

Very nice work on your existing terrain, looking forward to seeing where that tower goes

Thank you Alaricuk, shasolenzabi, and Guardling.

I have assembled my random bits to liven up the blank plastic card and add depth to the cardboard.







Next up is the painting.

The long painting and converting war continues...

CB

That has the makings of something awesome.

Ooh, nice embellishments Cap, that’s gonna look properly cool

Ok that is awesome.

Love the way that terrain pops! Love to see a classic Necromunda game. Tower looks awesome so far, excited to see the next bits.

Great stuff CB, the tower has shaped up nicely.

Glorious

Awesome tower!

Oh yeah, that tower is gonna be awesome! Love the classic Necromunda style!

Thank you ShadowsAndDust, gobert, Not Online!!!, Don Qui Hotep, Olthannon, Skinflint Games, shasolenzabi, and FeistyRips

Just a little priming progress, but it eliminates the old cardboard imagery and shows the parts that give it the three dimensional look.




Next up is the painting and weathering.

With paint and weathering.







The long painting and converting war continues...

Wow! If I hadn't seen the pre photos I would have thought that was a kit! Excellent stuff, especially with the hazard lines.

Thanks Olthannon.

A shot from above.


And a sort of 40K shot (as I am using the terrain as part of my monthly submission so no Necromunda gangers in this shot).


The long painting and converting war continues...

CB

OOf those Dark Reapers - hitting me right in the 'stalgia. Great job on the weathering on the tower too!

The tower turned out very nicely, CB. Love that even the paintjob reflects the classic Necromunda cardboard terrain. Such a nice reference. Truly well done.

Love that weathering!

Captain singlehandedly providing more terrain on tables than the supply lines of GW

Great job!

Great tower, very nostalgic!

Nice job on the tower Capt. Brown - I really like the little winch and chain, adds some nice dilapidated flair while also adding a vertical access point.

Those table shots are just beautiful. Dense and grimy with lots of height and dangerous catwalks. Looks like a joy to play on. Your labours have been paying off, congrats!

Thanks guys.

Been a bit of a gap.

Just wanted to share some scratch built terrain I made with dog bag cores, some patterned plastic card, and a little wire.







The long painting and converting war continues...

CB

Nice pipes CB. You here now?

Damn, I should save my dog baggie cores and do that, those look great.

I've been saving them for a while with an idea to use them, but not sure what! Great work CB

Great idea, unfortunately the ones I get nowadays don't have the core 😥

They look great! But I can’t help but think how much sh!t you had to pick up to make them .

Yes, and I did not want the dog.

WIP






Used the original tower and the bulkheads, and plastic card for the platforms to replace the cardboard. I have been adding bits to make a more 3D look.

Painting comes next.

The long painting and converting war continues...

CB

Very nice work!
Looking forward to seeing it painted up

That terrain looks impressive as is. Looking forward to see it finished.

Love the retro nature of this latest building!

Thanks for sharing

Looking good! Can't wait to see paint, rust, dirt and grime on it.

Thank you Guardling, Flapjack, IGtR=, and shasolenzabi

This piece was originally built from some pieces of a damaged tower, rather than make it just like the original, I matched the patchwork cardboard this one used with plastic card.







If you look carefully, you will even see some garbage in the corners on the ground level, chains hanging from a bulk head, some identity markings on plates, etc.

The long painting war continues...

CB

Great stuff CB! It can be tricky to make drab sci fi buildings look eye catching but you have done an excellent job with the wasp stripes and, cables and rust splodges.

Looking real good!

Thank you Olthannon and shasolenzabi.

Cheers,

CB

Your board look fantastic CB. Great tower and pipe stacks as well.

Very cool, love it!

Thank you Colonel Jacka and Guardling.

Getting together the parts for the next tower build. Going to do another square tower, which uses up 12 of my precious old plastic bulkheads.



The long painting and converting war continues...

Great rescue Captain! The new blended in really well with the old. The added embellishments were a great idea too

Thanks gobert.

Clever use of transfers on the top of that tower, CB. Lovely atmospheric work all round and the little details all add interest.

Fantastic work CB, that's going to be a great set to play on.

Just went through the log and I have to say it was quite the pleasant trip down memory lane. I have many of these models myself. And the terrain is pretty inspired too, good job all around.

I just had a look through the pages (since I haven't commented in a good while), and I have to say that loads of cool stuff is happening here. That recent terrain is really inspired! Great work.

Good Sir, your red Necromunda tower platforms are reminding me of Red Dwarf!

Thank you muette, Gargobot, Sigur, and RedSarge,

I really appreciate the comments.

Three more angles.

Very inspiring builds through out this thread.

I am glad I finally managed to stop by!

Hat's off and kudos on the work.

Looking good. The little additions like the chains really bring it to life.

Tower came out really well. Nice weathering too.
Have you seen any of the new Necromunda terrain you like?

Looking excellent as per CB!

Favorite found item usage of the day: is that a sewing machine thread bobbin masquerading as a cable reel? Goona file the serial numbers off and borrow that!

Sigh - Well I was going to focus on that medieval village I've been working on, but now maybe I should open up this original Industrial Necromunda terrain sprue instead...

Mighty fine scenery, especially the scratchbuilt terrain.

Your Necromunda board is fantastic. Impressive! Love the graffiti and the gangs.

I'll have to trawl through your entire project log here and save choice pictures as reference pictures for future doodles and terrain building of my own.

As to the width of roads at the start of the project log, one would expect them all too often to be too narrow in the Imperium. Especially since private motoring with personal cars would not be a mass phenomenon at all (that is a form of freedom, and the Imperium do not do freedom).

Perhaps one or two "road pocket" sections could be fun to add, where instead of a wider road, you have a widened short section for one vehicle to pull over upon meeting another broad vehicle. I do not know the English terms here.

Keep up the marvellous work. You're living the hobby dream!

The wires and chains give it a lot of character, great stuff.

Amazing work CB - those bulkheads certainly bring back the memories.

Redsarge beat me to it, that red really does look like Red Dwarf! Amazing work on these towers, as others have said the added gubbins are spot on! Have an Exalt

Another masterful build, Cap'n. Keep it up!

I have been away from this log while I finish up my Eldar, but with the summer challenge I figured I make a tower...or two. Mostly from the Outlanders expansion.







The long painting and converting war continues...

CB

Very exciting CB. Can't wait to see this come together. When I eventually get through enough of the grey pile to focus on terrain I'm going to have to re-read this thread from page 1 and steal a LOT of ideas.

Thanks for sharing,

Thanks tzurk,

Some progress, rivets, metal plates, vent openings, and hatches.






The long painting and converting war continues...

CB

The textures are progressing nicely cap!

Nice work on the previous tower, Captain.

I noticed you mention "vent openings" there - will you be adding vents/ducting to the underside of the platforms?

This all looks very promising

You're giving me excellent ideas for the old necromunda industrial box set I have lying around.

Here are the new pipe piles that were used to give a size scale for the tractor robot.

They are nicely weathered. You need a tiny rat peeping out of one end

So, I'm guessing, at this point, you have enough terrain for several Necromunda Apocalypse sized tables.

Excellent! Grim but colourful, looks great to play with too.

Very nice and also practical

Another small piece, one of the single floor tower/platforms to extend bridges between the others, especially for shorter bridges.


I added a base to make it solid and stable.

Great looking towers Captain! The Red Dwarf looking one is a great scheme

These Necromunda pieces look fantastic! The platforms especially. Very nice work.

Than you gobert, Warboss_Waaazag, and Colonel Jacka for the comments.

I figured I needed some red as the others are light blue or green.

Now a two deck tower.

wow, that looks amazing Captain Brown!

Great stuff. Terrain is a part of the hobby i've regretted neglecting, but you've given me a little nudge towards doing something, seeing your work here. Keep up the good fight!

Very cool, nice use of some pipes

That red looks so good! How’d you get the ripple effect on some of the panels? Did they come textured? Love the bobbins for cable drums, they fit the scale really well

Haha, bobbins as cable drums! I have so many empty plastic ones I'm going have to start doing the same...
Great looking tower!

MORE! (he screams, enjoying all the building progress) Looks great, 10/10 would definitely play on this both necromunda and 40k

gobert wrote:That red looks so good! How’d you get the ripple effect on some of the panels? Did they come textured? Love the bobbins for cable drums, they fit the scale really well

gobert, it was actually an accident, there was some sort of interaction between the matte sealant and the paint on a few of the pieces. It bubbled, so I just pushed it down and added one more coat. I figured to issues with some bubbled decking in Necromunda.

Next up:




The long painting and converting war continues...

Now that is a happy accident! I guess Necromunda doesn’t have the best environs for painting anyway. Good to see you’re continuing to make good use of the old bulkheads

Hey, the lift! Classic stuff, Cap'n. Masterfully executed, as always.

Man, that looks gooood. Keep it up!

How do you create the painted plate lines? They look drybrushed, but I don't see any raised details where they are at. Do you use a pen and ruler to draw them in?

Thank you youwashock, muette, and Warboss_Waaazag.

Warboss_Waaazag wrote:How do you create the painted plate lines? They look drybrushed, but I don't see any raised details where they are at. Do you use a pen and ruler to draw them in?

I start by carving a straight line with an exacto blade, making a shallow cut so as not to split the plastic card. That makes a seam between plates. Then I run a stitch wheel in parallel on both sides, creating a riveted effect. The light grey is a fine drybrush, and when you are close you see the rivets and seams. I will use a thine black wash later to bring out the depth if the cut and rivets later in the process. As you guessed, to keep my cuts and punches straight I use a steal ruler.

Can't believe I haven't seen anyone use this scheme before, it looks so good. Using your harlequin mask recipes here as well?

I like this paint scheme. Fire and smoke is a good color combo.

Those Cawdor are fire🔥 haha!

Redemptionists, Guardling, not mere Cawdor.

Nice work on them, Cap'n - the mostly-black scheme with the fire trim and white masks is very distinctive.

Just discovered this thread and I'm loving it!

Old school Necromunda figs and terrain are two of my favorite things and your work delivers.

It's interesting what you can use those containers for CB. They match all the doors in the IG bastion kits and make great corridors.

Very nice Cawdors, although, I think they need at least one flaming redhead.

Wonderful Necromunda gangs, Colonel!

Great to see the old sculpts getting some love. May your bristles be ever pointy.

Nice work on the containers, Orlock & Cawdor, Captain.

I'm curious - how close are you to having painted one of every metal Necromunda sculpt at this point?

Sweet work Cap! Those Cawdor sculpts are classics. I’d go one further that Dysartes and ask for a pic of the whole collection, with terrain would be mind blowing!

Neat work on the new Redemptionists Cawdow gangers, looking forward to seeing more!

Thank you Tommygun1918, Karak Norn Clansman, PaddyMick, Dysartes, gobert, and Guardling.

Dysartes, not that close. I have acquired a large number over the years, but other than Cawdor and the Redemptionists, every other gang is missing one or more models.

A small calamity has hit my scratch building...I like to use the Tropicana orange juice lids for the tops of towers and tall exhaust pipes. The orange ones that when you turn them upside down the look like they have a gothic pattern. I have loads of the small ones, but have run out of the larger versions. I had a new plan to use a great number of the larger tops. I went to start buying some large juice bottles...and found none...it seems Tropicana has discontinued their larger tops for a flat lid and a smaller container. :(

The long painting and converting war continues...

PS: So if someone has been saving a bunch and would like to sell some of them, I would be interested.

Shrinkflation strikes again! That sucks Cap, hopefully you can source some more caps

gobert,

Yes, I might have a provider now.

I have received a pair of old Eschers to add.

Praise the Tropicana gods.

Looking forward to seeing you paint up those Escher. The mini on the right is one of my favourites, the hair and the pose are just awesome.

Nice Acquisitions. My OG Escher are still some of my favorite minis in my collection. The hairstyles are indeed fantastic on these.
