One of these, but with guns on it:





Maybe like this one some joker has made:

I remember seeing an awesome Ork battle barge in a White Dwarf some time ago.

Not this one is it? Looks pretty fun

Sewer/ canal isn't that big;:(

cool idea though! I will take a pic later for scale

Here is a picture for scale. Exact measurements are

20 x 4 inches not counting the pump station

ahh those blast doors and little pannel things work well for that canal thingy, looks good!

Nothing is glued down yet. I ordered the pipe cast but mistakenly given the space accessories one. I am in a complete stand still til I get the pipes and tubes I ordered.

So just like a Lego set I may still take it apart and redo it. Still in the concept stage so anything can happen! Though I do love where it's going.

Stay tuned...

Do you want to part with the space mold?

dsteingass wrote:Do you want to part with the space mold?

I don't have the mold. I buy casts of the ones I need for $2 a cast. Saves me time and money. If I had the mold I would certainly part with it.

Sorry Dave

its ok dave, the molds are relativly cheap anyway.. although i guess free would be better

Oh, I'd pay for em, but GenCon isn't until august, and I want to inspect the ones I get before I buy them. I plan on picking some up at GenCon.

they do have some nice molds, the ones with computers and such is nice to have

I know you've got your hands full at the moment, but I was searching for pictures of urban ruins and came across this site of abandoned Japanese buildings - some of the images are stunning and have given me a lot of ideas for urban ruins. Though you might like to take a look

Edit:
I forgot to say - this site has an explanation of the buttons to press to navigate in Japanese (if the urls that come up when you hover over the buttons don't give it away )

Thanks Nate! Pretty striking images. Plenty of great weathering ideas gained!

Thank you buddy

Just had to jump in and say thanks for the comment on my blog

I have been following for awhile on and off, you do some amazing buildings. Great work!

I now know that I will be using my crackle glaze to make peeling paint effects

Thanks buddy, always nice to hear from you. Your latest mini is spectacular!





As always thanks for the comments and support! Sorry for the lack of progress but I should have the pipe casts that I need this weekend


Stay tuned...

Talk about customer service, Mike@ http://www.terranscapes.com/ took care of the order mix up and didn't even charge me for the accessory casts! The pipe casts are here pics to follow and let the madness begin!

Big props to Terranscapes please pop by and check out his new projects! You will not be disappointed

yep looks great mate, water effects for the win ! lol

thanks Neil. I am pretty excited for this one, plus I Love playing with water effects!

Managed to find one of those urban explorer sites in english - http://gakuranman.com

Thought you might be interested to read some of the comments where he talks about some of the buildings and things he finds in them.

I am slowly but surely making progress. I am going out today to get diamond plate plastic card. Stay tuned and please leave a feedback comment I really want to know what you guys think!

Thank you all in advance

That piece has such an interesting foot print, it will be one piece right?

jabbakahut wrote:That piece has such an interesting foot print, it will be one piece right?

Yup, just one piece. I will be adding cities of death bits, diamond plate, and granny grate. Plus sand/ flocking and of course water effects!

Should be fun.

What do you think Jabba? Love it hate it... feedback on it would be awesome!

I'm still not sure how I feel on it. I think the water effects will make or break it. No pressure.

I think it's a really interesting piece, I think it's cooler than doing a system that you piece together. Details look good, I like the idea of breaking up the board to make things impassible. I might put a foot bridge across the middle... I like those hand valves on the side. It would look cool if you painted it as a murky industrial sludge instead of a normal water channel. I will have to go back and see how you did the fountain again.

That's right, you had the melted skulls in there as well.... And you already did that one with a sludge like feel to it.

Hey this will be more brownish water industrial waste style! Thanks for the comments and support!

Having a hard time with the way to verbalize it. Sudden maybe? Like it starts at the pump house, goes for a bit, and stops. And the tube going into the stream seem like they are coming out of nowhere. Maybe when its in a building heavy area.
