great work, i would like to see a battle report on this field.

ok, so i put together most of my ground level and got some more pictures to post. so a majority of my bottom level is going to be empty space, which i had to do to make it functional. but i had a great idea which kinda hit me after finishing a box of fruit loops. i cut the box into strips and cut little slits into them, then cut a bunch of tiny strips and fed them through the slits to make it appreat that the pannels were attached. then i glued it down to make a garage door. now i'm going to turn one of the buildings into a bar... but i'm thinking necromunda = sin, corruption, low lifes... STRIP CLUB!!!! so i got a few pictures of the inside of the building with a few platforms i'm going to use to put some half naked slaves and stripper poles, with a table or 2 on the second level. the other building i'm thinking about turning into a weapons depot, but not completely sure about that yet.

i also need a little advice. so i used the screen for the floor on the ground level of the strip club but was having a hard time getting it to really stay glued. now i was using wood glue which i know is part of my problem... but i really hate super glue. i could try and use some wall patch on the floor and then press the screen into the wall patch to get it to kinda stay, but i dont want to fill the mesh with plaster. i wanted to glue it down as a texture for when i'm painting. any idea's?

Is that base laminate flooring?!

Bendy straws are a quick and easy detail to put all over the place.

For scenery work I've become a big fan of 2 part epoxy. It holds incredible and has the consistency of thick PVA glue.

Brilliant.

Gaphic design artist?

Great work, had an idea for a modular board myself based on a hexagonal structure (Hive, geddit?) which I started to model in card, but foam core could be better. Great ideas, I am definitely inspired to dust off my old gangers!

This is incredible!

You sir, are showing some good skills! Love the pipes, wire mesh, and bullet holes. It is looking like a awesome start. I look forward to seeing this board in further stages/completion. Keep up the good work.

If you are having problems with the mesh screen not being rigid enough, try looking into "granny grating", it is referred to, that can be picked up in the embroidering/cross-stitching section at your local wal-mart. It is a thick plastic mesh that is quite rigid, and only costs a few bucks for multiple sheets. It also looks better in this scale, in my opinion.

HOT

really really like your project, cant wait to see it painted up. As for the mess, why not in force it with some bracing every few cm.

An amazing project you got going here.

As for ideas, how about something like the mobile drills in movie Total recall.

As a rule it would be a vehicle that drove around the table on a random circuit but wasn't controlled by either of the players.

It would essentially serve as mobile terrain and would stop people from setting up 'road blocks and the like'

I've never played munda before so not sure if would work, just an idea that's all.

Beautiful Terrain. I love terrain more then anything else. <3 Kudo's mang.

Great stuff here - and inspirational too, as I've got to make lots of terrain for an INFINITY table, so this will come in handy!

I have to say I am really impressed with all the little details that you have added to these buildings.

Excellent work.

This site includes some etched brass covering that would probably look pretty sweet dotted around you terrain.

You are an awesome person. This is going to turn out awesome. Your friends are lucky to get to ply on that beast someday.

Ummmm wow, I am a HUGEEEEE Necromunda fan(personally my favorite GW game) and I love what your doing here.

If you wake up one morning and your board is missing... I just want to say 'I didn't do it' in advance

ok so i'm thinking i'm about ready to start painting this first piece soon. got most of the fine details done just need to glue a bit of rubble here and there and i think i can put my first coat of primer down. cut some shapes out of cerial boxes and glued them down on the buildings to give some character to the plain surfaces. i didn't really want too use wall patch for a texture cause then it would just end up looking like dirt or stucco. i'm going to add globs of glue here and there and let it dry to make pools of slug and blood. also add some moss after it's all painted. my strip clubs going to be a little plain but i can live with that. all in all it's not going to be a perfect start to my board and far from a center piece of my collection, but i've deffinately learnd alot thats going to make the other pieces of the board get done faster and turn out looking MUCH better

A strip club on a Necromunda board?

Yep. That just won the thread forever.

Looking good - have you thought about cutting out some "girl shaped" bits of card and sticking them on the walls? You could try getting neon paints and painting them, say, neon pink, then doing a diffuse neon pattern around them to simulate them being lit up?

Just a thought.

can't really add to what has already been said
is looking superb

If you are going to do neon do it right.

Now that´s kinky.

Really liking this build, should look great when it´s done.

no i hadn't thought of that silver, but i LOVE the idea!!! i actually think i'm going to do that. and i found the perfect models to be my strippers too. sweet, now i think my board is going to be that much better!

thanks

By the way, check Modhail's stuff out. I think you will really like it and get some ideas from it!

Necro = Win and this takes that and ups it a level, Great stuff Munda-monium, inspiring even. I have mostly made small Fantasy Terrain peices to date, the biggest being a coach house but this really makes me want to build some 40K terrain now.

BTW garage door, genius in its simplicity.

I'm sure you have plenty of ideas for how you are going to proceed but I would like to suggest a few things in case you have used up your creative juices on the strip club!

http://www.copplestonecastings.co.uk/range.php?range=FW Did someone else mention this lot? They do some lovely reactors, bank vaults and other assorted industrial looking dohickies.

Great Sci-fi items you might want to use. Computer consoles, boxes and barrels, I'm not sure the wheelie bins have a place in Necromunda though?

They're not in the US but do ship there, but i'm sure you will be able to find the same components nearer to home.

Hirsts Arts also do allot of molds [including some of the items from barrule] that would compliment your buildings nicely. A bit of effort casting your own but a cheap way of filling a table with some nice items.

ok so i got my next piece drawn up. it's going to be a sump refinery were they use sump to grow fungus and filter it for water. i was going for a factory feel. what do you think?

Looks cool to me mate!

The interior looks great, I'd just consider adding some details to the big tank. A ladder an a walkway around should provide some interesting tactical options.
