All I can see when looking at that building front is a very, very sad building.

I anthropomorphize things too much.

**nerdfest09**

Oh my god Dave! ....... i mean....... Dave you are a god!

Looking fan-bloody-tastic so far and as usual i'm inspired! why oh why must you inspire me while i'm at work! Nngggngngggnnh!

**Ruglud**

Everything Nerd says and then some.

This will be the Necromunda terrain of my dreams... My fingers are itching to get hold of some of this stuff and go for it...

Well, we can't have happiness in a Dystopian Society now can we?

You should! -Then show us the pics

Speaking of inspiration at work, more grimdark research today:
Plenty of Flanges to be had here too, no nipple clamps though, sorry nerd

Some of the highly saturated color photos are very painterly looking. I think I've learned that I should use lighter base colors so I can add many other color washes, and I need to use crackle medium over rust basecoats as well.

**nerdfest09**

What!! NO nipple clamps

son, I am dissapoint!

although you have seemed to make up for it with those images!!

absolutely beautiful they are! would you be a dear and just go and pop them into this thread I started?

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/478716.page then i can access them along with other wonderful eye candy for inspiration! I should change my middle name to 'inspiration' I tend to use that word a lot on here lol

**Dr H**

Good pics. Can't wait to see some of that traslated into models.

WhoaaaWhaatHappenedThere. Made my eyes go weird.

And now there's only one post. Just ignore me, either Dakka or Firefox messing with me.

**Vitruvian XVII**

Wow dave, that building is amazing. I can just imagine a smog covered sky, dim lights illuminating the choking blackness as a ganger flits from alcove to entryway...

**nerdfest09**

Whoa Vit!!

change that avatar pic...please!... your eyes..... they bore right through me......

**Fango**

That building is looking great, and these are some very sweet reference photos. They are so stylized, I almost thought they were digital work for some post apocalyptic video game. Now i seem to recall a building very much like this one on Discovery Channel with Bear Grylls running through it...

**Vitruvian XVII**

Sorry nerd, this better....?

**nerdfest09**

Yes, that's much more normal now

everyone knows a Nic Cage santa with a knife and crazy eyes will soothe anyone into a relaxed coma!

**shasolenzabi**

Those pics, I kept mentally playing the Fallout-3 theme as I went through them Daev

**lone dirty dog**

Fair point, now you mention the wiring it makes more sense

Royal mail is no way efficient

The post service is like playing the lottery you have a 1 in a million ( or more ) chance of getting your post

I have to say using that kit in this way has me sold on it and those sheets have potential, I looked at them myself but was not sure on the scale or detail but if it has the "Dave Seal of Approval" it is good enough for me.

Valhalla 130 I see what you mean LOL

I cant stop seeing the face now

**dsteingass**

If I were you, I'd look up Woodland Scenics O scale DPM panels

I ordered some- harder plastic

Big window, just as I threatened.

**Vitruvian XVII**

That's so cool, i didn't ever think Victorian-esque brickwork could ever have a place in the 40k universe, but you've changed my mind on that one!

**Valhalla130**

This is a pretty cool project. I need to take notes so that one day, when I create Stalingrad style terrain for my Valhallans to fight in, I'll be up to the task. Also... just to toot my own horn, here is my new WIP thread.

**monkeytroll**

Great stuff going on with that mini-arts warehouse, and cheers for the ref pics, I've seen some of those but there were some nice new ones there

Good find with that Grandt trim pack, not seen those before, will go searching later

**mottie85**

I'm going to start putting a gang together. Call me when your table is done and I'll fly out there...

**dsteingass**

@Vit- Rivets make anything 40k

Thanks Monkey!
ANytime Mottie!

**nerdfest09**

Looks like the door from the 'special' night club i go to.....

**The Good Green**

Great pics, dsteingass! Both the new terrain and inspirational pics. You make it so hard for me to no completely abandon my ork city to start work on my imperial naval base

**Bruticus**

What colour will you be painting the brickwork? I personally think red brick looks wrong for Necromunda, it would be more likely they would use concrete type bricks or dark bricks (like these: http://thenickeninja.wordpress.com/2012/07/08/sector-04/). I think red bricks will look very anachronistic, like Ironhand's stuff even though it is awesome it doesn't look like it's from 40k.

**dsteingass**

I disagree, I think Ironhand's stuff is perfect. It looks ancient, which is the point in the underhive. That part of the Hive could be downtown Gary, Indiana of today in origin

I doubt kiln-fired earth will ever go out of use, since it's so plentiful.

**alabamaheretic**

looking good dave, have you thought about light brown bricks when i lived in germany i saw a lot of light brown brick work. just food for thought when you get to that stage buddy

**dsteingass**

But...I'm not sure about color..Now I will have to ponder it..

Soo many decisions in this project..
I think this needs to be the Generatorium.

I have decided NOT to do the interior. I don't have enough of that matching brick-pattern sheet to do it right.
..But I REALY wanted to!

Automatically Appended Next Post:
The final wall

Automatically Appended Next Post:
There, twice as much out of the kit

Now to infect it with pipes and flanges, and cables, and gubbinz, and rivets, and big aquillas on the gables

**alabamaheretic**

looks good dave there will be awesome happening soon

**dsteingass**

Thanks man! Let's hope so

**Viktor von Domm**

oh man... that new direction of your terrain making is totally up my alley...as if you´ve had any doubt about it to hit bullseye with these... the brickwork looks stunning... those windows are simply awesome...and my special top favorte is that huge and sweet heavy looking door... since it is on the first floor....will there be walkways? i bet there will...

i tell no lie... i want to see a big sector of all these on one big table!!!

what will be next? flooring inside? i am eager to see where you take us with that one here!

**dsteingass**

Thanks Vik!
No, I don't have enough of the matching brick sheet to do the interior the right way. Perhaps on a later building?
I have plans for at least a few more brick structures, supply drop inbound sometime next week

**Viktor von Domm**

well... you know me for my patience^^...

if i recall your stalingrad buildings from way back... for modern looking terrain you have come a great way....
