this add shows precisly that chibis refference was not even off topic^^

Meh, go off topic all you want!

well if peeps like chibi and me follow your threads there is a fair chance to this happening^^

dsteingass - Wicked is the only word I can use to describe that building - along with your 40k terrain too. Really hope you're planning on making lots more. When doing your hazard stripes do you reundercoat the yellow areas white before applying the sunburst yellow?

As for walkway suggestions and a little shameless self promotion towards the bottom of page 6:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/180/309038.page They are undercoated but not painted yet.

Scarper - I can hear their howling again mother . I'm planning on painting a couple of scavvies after the brute...I miss them.

Ok guys lets keep it on topic here...we all know Scarper's nerco thread is the place to go off topic. So fisherman jumpers and transvestites down, what's up next?

Thank man! There will be more, I intend on raising the city into multiple elevations a-la Hive world, just haven't worked out exactly how to do that yet. I am enjoying your thread, but I still haven't found anything about walkways, not on page 6 anyways. Still reading through. As for the hazard stripes, nope no undercoat white. I never understood why people insist on doing that, I've never needed to do it. Just use about 2 coats right from the pot/bottle thick, you are going to weather it anyways, so any see-through just looks like wear and tear to my eyes. The black and yellow contrast so sharply I think you can get away with it, but I suppose if you were using some other color than black it might blend into ugly. And please, I'm no thread fascist, if we want to delve into jumpsuits or assless chaps or what not, go right ahead!

Glad to see someone else taking the old terrain and rebuilding it in 3D.

Who else is doing it?? I want to see

I will be.

My plan is to get a bunch of stuff laser cut from the old card, like I did with the old command tower, http://dylangould.blogspot.com/2011/04/2nd-edition-terrain-in-progress.html

Should be cool whenever I get around to it.

I think it's time to make a catachan board....just saying

That is the coolest thing man! awesome! Catachan board? don't tempt me...the only thing stopping me is a lack of jungle plants and silk flowers and such. Currently though, I do have a slew of woodland trees for the other side of the concrete board (which has a vinyl grass mat glued to it.

@PDH...found them (page 7) , very nice, thank you! What lengths do you use for the walkways?

nice munda terrain thats i like the idea of making the card terrain 3d i might have to try that

Great terrain! Absolutely. The humor of the gangs dont work for my vision of 40k though

no....you didn´t just reverse punch the rivets into the card? now didn´t you...hell...whatever will they think of next... i think this new project will be heading into a nice and interresting direction!

Yep, just eyeballed and started punching recessed rivet holes into the plastic card

what thickness is that plasticcard in mm?

This is the thin outer skin, so it is just 1mm

that makes sense... the needler would do anything to a material anything thicker than that!... but it is a good way to get really tiny detail in a very acurate way!....have to investigate that one later on...

When you use a bit blunter scratch awl on some thicker 0.40" stuff it will leave a nice raised rivet on the other side of the plastic.

thought about a blunt one too... i like the edged version i currently do a lot better than all too round ones....but thats just pure taste...

Ok, wow. If you pull this off (and I'm sure you will, based on what you've done so far!) it will be awesome. Did neil's graphic designer complaint inspire you?

Though i hope you're not going to cover up the detail on the flooring of the building you've already done - would be a real shame to lose that paintjob... Only solution: more buildings!

Oh no, this is going to be a different building! Although I'm not sure what the configuration of the building will be yet, I really just want to capture the original artist's style, Not go for an exact 1:1 copy, but the panel lines are just too cool not to copy!

Good job! Where the girls from?

The triplets and the madam are old VOID 1.1 synthas I believe, They originally came with wings. I changed their weapons to Imperial though. No, they may not be classic Necromunda, but I'm sure the oldest trade in history is still peddled in a hive, and they need to defend themselves.

..and calling it a night. My Buckeyes lost, went to a LEGO convention, and watched more football, and built this...good saturday!

wow... nice sandwich ! delicious in so many ways!
the pipes, netting and the cables are the icing on the cake! also i know how making and setting rivets can be a major pain in the rear^^

will you keep the paintjob in the same manner as the cardboard version or something more sombre or muted?

have a good and restfull night...truly deserved^^

Thanks Vik! I think it'll be painted like the original, since it is so similar.

hmmm... i see where you are coming from... tho i think a tad darker would suit the piece better...welll thats just taste i guess...

Woah!!! The Emperor Bless you Dsteingass..!! Amazing work....Really...

Thanks Zebra! It's the Munitorum that has blessed me with materiel!
Vik, the model there is a color laser-printed pdf of the original card terrain, I only have a few of the original walkways still, but the color of the blue is dead on exactly like the original. That is where I got the paint sceme for the earlier piece, and I'll be continuing on this piece. Don't worry Vik, it will look allright, I won't ruin it, I promise! Trust me
