Civilian Outpost Delta

This is a terrain set that incorporates scenery from CNC Workshop and Forge World. Not too many pics here, but enough to give the general idea.

The buildings are from the Sand Series by CNC. They are die cut from wood and slotted for easy assembly.

I think they make a great base for further embellishment, but they definitely need more added to them. We added a lot of different parts—empty bottles, plastic mesh, and so forth. The dead grass (which to my mind is a good urban addition and breaks up the grey) is Woodland Scenics Wild Honey static grass, one of my favorites. The sandbags were hand-made from green stuff.

The Imperial Guard gunners are Sabretooth platforms from Forge World. They fit quite handily in the upper levels.

The buildings were mounted on ¼” wood foundations, and they fit together as a unified whole. Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s a shot of the whole thing put together (probably because it wouldn’t fit in the diffusion box).

Nevermind the other oddball models in the album. Those were stragglers from other projects.

Looking good. I'm a big fan of the CNC sand series after seeing them in FireBase 1. How did you paint the buildings here? In FB they used a series of spraypaints, but barring that I assume some time with a tank brush would do the trick too?

Thanks for sharing, nice work.

I've found that $1.00 brushes (wood-handled and with pale bristles) work just dandy for terrain. They just need to be cleaned and dried after use.

I like to have 1", 2" and 3" sizes on hand.
