HI all,

Just wanted to let you guys have a look at my current project for my WWX/Infinity (Haqq) board. This is the first ever terrain piece that I have built, so please be gentle but above all else please be honest as I won’t know how to improve if I am not told my faults. hehe

All the planks on the walkways took far too long, but I am happy with the result I think and definitely a few learning curves, hehe. The square with the mesh on the walkway is going to be a lookout position or a manned weapon platform, not decided yet.
I have also do make the building look damaged and a bit of destruction here and there wouldn’t go a miss I think.
I have only managed to mesh 1x window at the minute but I was thinking of maybe a few iron bars and some corrugated iron in the other window to mix things up. Planter at the front will be full of dead flowers and the wheelchair lift and front walkway will be caged in, a bit like the prison from “The Walking Dead” prison, with a few cutouts for firing from.
Still a lot of tiding up to be done especially around the 2nd window, sealing off all the garage surrounds, partition wall in main building, bannister around the walkway, cage around areas of walkway, next tier of building, lower roof, upper roof, advertising board (WWX/infinity advert), Outlaw/Haqq flags, cleaning up the inside of the lift, ensuring there are no skulls on my terrain. hehe

Cheers for viewing and would greatly appreciate feedback to help improve my terrain building skills.

Looks pretty darn cool to me

Thanks RiTies,

It is looking a bit blocky atm but hopefully a bit more detailing will break it up.
Going to add the next storey now, so I can judge the overall shape that I have to play with (pardon the pun!)

Well I will come back in a few hours with more photos as I won't get anything done sat on here. hehe

Ok a bit of an update, just scale and a few little add-ons as I have been preoccupied the last few days. :(
Below are for scale purposes, as someone on another forum requested that scale would be handy.
I shall be commencing more work on it after this post.

Mick

Looks really good Madmick, very promising!

Haven't seen too many Haqqislam boards so will be interested to see what you can come up with!

Come and check out the Infinity section of the board if you would like some more comments on your stuff, or to contribute there: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/forums/show/59.page

I thought that it would be a bit rude to be posting something that could be used as WWX and Infinity on a pure Infinity section of the site mate.
I would not like to cause any ill feelings towards anyone on the community so I think that the best place for this is within the blog section for now, unless a few people request otherwise.
Thanks for showing an interest and leaving me some very kind words.
On the old Infinity forum there were a few GREAT boards imho and it lead to me wanting to design one, as they are so universal between systems and genres.
So as my first board it was a no brainer, hehe. Just means I should crack open my Haqqislam starter box when I get it made.
I think I should be able to get everything sorted by the time WWX sends me a few prezzies in September !!

Ok. Just a quick update before I finish my cuppa and commence more work on my project.
Just tried to complete the upstairs flooring and I have to say that despite the amount of time to sculpt all of the boards, it was quite an easy part.
I want to try and complete the roof structure and the containment of the carp port under the building today.
I think I will have to really take my time and think how to best construct the beams etc, as I am unsure at this time whether I want to be able to use the roof section or just use it as a lid...... We will see.

Mick

I have had to provide a link to my updated photos as they were appearing MASSIVE on this forum for some reason. I shall replace the link with photos when I get a chance at home.

Having a bad day with regards to my back, so I don't think I will have much progress building today. But I hope I will have something done at least.

Update on my current progress:

Hope you like how it is going atm. I am open to suggestions.
Note: I will be aging all the wooden areas like the big sign at the front top of the building. Also a porch around the bottom, a fence around some areas of the porch, building details around mid section like windows erc, air con unit, wire fence around some of the mid balcony, finishing off the lift and maybe a few additions to the wooden slats on the walls to act like heat sinks for the building to keep cool.

Those are my ideas anyway. Please kick me in the head if any of them sound stupid. I plan to create a large terrain piece for each faction.
The present one is an Outlaw Hideout.
I plan on building a fort and ridge tents for the Union.
Sci-fi based tepees for the Warrior Nation with a large community tent.
And I thought a large 2x2 concert platform for the Enlightened. This will be my next project as I want to build it for @Matthias

I was also thinking on building the insides of a saloon on a 4x4 area. This can be used as small skirmish games where no vehicles may be used. This will offer me a chance to build furniture in order to increase my skill level. I will also be building some creates etc for the purpose of making molds and then casting in resin.
