That sounds like the next terrain competition to me

Must do some rivet work soon and get my name on the wall !!

Building is looking (and this word often gets overused - but not in this case) A-W-E-S-O-M-E and to think, you're not finished yet? wow...

Those windows are super cool dave.

Oh Wow, Thanks a lot guys! -you keep me going.

I appreciate the thought, but don't start anything up just yet. The League names will need to spread out to the surrounding buildings! (yet to be built)-The vandals would surely branch out from this one building.. So I will save the last few names I have not yet tagged on this building.

Don't worry guys, coming soon! Stay tuned.
(I just want to be done with this model for now)
so I am going to make a few final touches and set up for pics for the IPMS-USA review.

Goodnight Dakka.

what a cool looking underhive building! and the scene is so good looking! Grafitti walls and that sooty brickwork look with all the other cool detail works!

seeing the building now... you need a special backdrop for such big stuff^^

well i will do somemething for you anyway regardless of competitional issues^^ more like a great litter swap

BLOODY MARVELLOUS !!!!!!

After seeing you do this to it I must get some of these for sure

I am now trawling ebay for 1:48 scale buildings... Must resist, too many other projects...

Thats simply wonderful. Thanks for convincing me that brickwork does still have a place in the 41st Millenium. I have an itch to do this sort of terrain now.

Its like an epidemic I tell you

One of your best works. Now do about a dozen more.

Fantastic work on the building.

That looks real slick dave everything looks like it came out perfect.

I do have a question related to munda but not to this awesome terrain. and that is did you get your Orlocks painted up?

man i wish i had your level of dedication when it comes to building.

I would love to see more buildings like that at game shops across the country so That i can have them on the battle-tables
to look at whilst my armies fight over them

Oh my god! Oh my god you guys!! you just made me the happiest Nerd in all the land and now, the speech......

Wow! Awesome work! I just love this building. Been a while since I last popped in and what a treat! I've voted on all the images, I'm a bit sad I've been so busy elsewhere that I didn't see the project as it was being done and therefore missed out on a Graffiti tribute but it is very cool none the less! Can't wait to see your next one!

This is the site for the DPM module parts, in O Scale. You should also consider looking at their full building kits, also available on the site:

http://woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/category/OScaleModular?tsort=default&perPage=1900&view=grid

Now, you can probably find them cheaper online, from other sellers. But this gives everyone an idea what's available.

Must steal tags...
Must put tags on shanty town
Must copy exactly


Darn Dave

Oh wow! It looks great! Im sold on the color now that its all weathered up. Not so much yellow brick now as it is a burnt umber. I like it- Really nice work!

Wow! Thanks a LOT guys! Much appreciated!
I'll personally reply to each comment later on, until then, feel free to vote

Say, dave... any chance you can scan in your graffiti doodles so i can copy them exactly? I love the idea of an american scenery piece with the league on it, and a european piece (mine) too...
Although over here they will be scattered about seven or so shanty-town pieces. The idea as is I will most certainly steal anyways... but if i can get the names in about the same style it'll have been the same darn kids tagging the gak out of everythin...

Save the picture he posted, earlier, MauS?

Yeah, it really isn't a scan, but it's a pic of the paper.-It should be a few pages back (I can't get to my photobucket from work) I just searched google Images for graffiti, found various lettering styles that I liked, and then started doodling with a pencil. Once I was happy with the sketch, I just outlined and filled in with a Sharpie. Once you can do it on paper, it's easy to do on a brick wall. Some (like yours Maus), I decided to do differently on the wall.

Thanks Grim! I really could have done a lot more to it, (and I still may), but I wanted to move onto another project for now.

Thanks LDD! But I'd recommend the Woodland Scenics DPM panels before I'd recommend vacu-formed stuff, much easier to work with. you absolutely NEED a tube of putty, not greenstuff, not Liquid Green Stuff, but Putty, plain, old modeling putty to work with Vacu-formed kits. Not for the faint of heart.

Thank you! You won't find many building kits under 1:48, this kit is actually 1:35 scale, figures in 1:35 are more Inquisitor size (54mm). I changed the scale of this kit only because the bricks matched The O scale brick sheets I had, and I had to be careful to remove or omit any kit parts that could possibly be "scalebusters", replacing them with recognizable bits or scratchbuilding others (such as the windows). Search under model railroading stuff in O scale too. You'll find lots.

No, Thank YOU Vit!, your doubts about it motivated me immensely to change your mind

no, I don't have the same motivation when it comes to painting miniatures unfortunately..I should really be doing that huh?

Well, that is the point of doing this here on Dakka, so everyone can see how easy it is to do and step up their own terrain-building efforts....Then it CAN happen.

Yes, Brian is correct! - In O scale, you'll find the individual bags of panels for $8-9 each. The full building kits are marginally a better value
I am anxiously awaiting two of these kits: http://www.ebay.com/itm/181022789960?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648

I worked extra hard on the color with the intention of hopefully changing your mind! Thanks for motivating me man!

see above post

I'm still not sold on the yellow brick, but that looks really great. I voted on all your pics. I could definitely see that on the street of some Necromunda hive.

Nice building dsteingass.

The metalwork
The aircon unit thing with a little power kill switch
The windows
All the weathering
and the tags
Did I miss anything? All good and very inspirational.

I shall strive to reach a comparable level of realism in my modelling.

Its good man sometimes things just dont motivate you the same as when you first started them. and you always like making tanks and if that makes you happy then go for it. i dont have the imagination to make awesome buildings but seeing other peoples work what ever it is makes me want to paint better so i can get some atta boys.

any way enough motivational talk hurry up and get off of work so you can make more cool stuff lol

Thanks a lot dude! You CAN do it, you just need to break it down into steps is all. Anyone can do it.

I spent a lot of time looking at buildings IRL, the Urban Explorer sites are always full of inspiration like this. You don't need a lot of imagination, just a reference photo or two and the right materials.

Voted 10/10 for that awesome building
