Looks awesome.

Bigger brush? Spray?

**Kelly502**

This is amazing! I'll agree with an earlier post, I want to play on this board now!!

**Malika2**

Man, the level of detail here is frightingly awesome!

**Sveamore**

Fifty:
It's more to do with finding a simple technique as there are so many pieces.
Malika2
Maar niet gemakkelijk:-)

**Malika2**

Haha, do you speak Dutch, or did you just use a translator?

Anyhow, checking out both this and gwaahr's thread really makes me wonder if my own ventures in designing terrain to be 3d printed really makes sense. I mean, I'd imagine that that you are doing would probably cost a fraction of the costs a 3d printed and then cast in resin or plastic kit would be. Gwaahr's stuff is even cheaper since it's e-waste. Also, you guys actually managed to get the result I was trying to go for with my own stuff, so I'm a bit in a predicament whether I should keep on going with my terrain or simply stick to creatures and bits.

Have you also considered adding multi leveled stuff?

**Sveamore**

Malika2...I speak enough to hold reasonable conversations but just can't write it so I had to use the translator because I didn't know how to spell gemakkelijk:-)

I think the mold approach would be a bit expensive initially but once your up and running it works out cheap & you could always sell the molds once finished, they hold their value really well. I use Hydrostone to cast, resin is very expensive by comparison & destroys the molds.

This will be the BASE coat for the layout (these are test/sample pieces). The white is too bright in these photos but has since been toned down.

**Meph**

Godverdomme, dat ziet er cool uit!

That's an amazing level of detail there, and the ground-level photo really takes you right into the corridor. Good stuff!

**Hanskrampf**

This is really awesome. Great work OP.

Having just bought the 2014 Space Hulk, this will definetely be a future project.

**Radu Lykan**

just clicked on this and the first pic showing all the base sections made me think omg you f*****g crazy b*****d! having calmed down and looked through the progress pics all i can say is i want one

the corridor pic above is very atmospheric, any chance of flickering leds, maybe an awesome horror sound track whilst playing would improve it but its already great

**Sveamore**

Meph: Bedankt:-)
Radu Lykan: Lights are a vague possibility.

**Malika2**

Just awesome stuff! by the way, will you also be adding some 'Imperial' details?

**Kelly502**

Looking great!!!!!! I can't wait to see it done, I'm working on my Blood Angel Terminators now so maybe by the time I get them done I'll get a ticket to Australia to visit and play Space Hulk with you.

Typical American, I just invited myself.

**Kelly502**

Here's the BA Terminator WIP, 1st of 10. Getting ready for that awesome board!

**angelofvengeance**

This is nuts- but frickin' awesome

**Boba Fett**

Great project! I really like the colors you picked, can't wait to see the whole think finished. Which of the hirstarts molds did you use for this epic table?

**Relentless136**

Wow! So much wow!

**xXWeaponPrimeXx**

Welp, I'll just have to come visit you and beg you to teach me your witchcraft.

This is amazing.

**Bottle**

Holy gak! Incredible!

**Commander Cain**

Looking awesome! You'll have to do model the new Space Hulk tiles from the latest release, the section that is open to the void of space would be awesome. Also the boarding torpedoes could be fun.

**Sveamore**

Malka2: I think some Imperial details would look great but it will be towards the end as a fun treat.

Kelly602: Your Terminators look great.

Boba Fett: I have almost all of the sifi range from Hirst Arts but I also added all 3 of the robot molds for extra detail & even one of the blocks from the Roman Temple mold.

Commander Cain: Way tooooo much to do as it stands but who knows once this gets done?

**Sveamore**

Base coating (80-90% matt white over matt black). Next, a basic rust wash which will tone down the white along with really rusting out & staining large areas.

**Sveamore**

Early stages of painting

**Warboss_Waaazag**

I really love the clutter and claustrophobia of these layouts. Awesome work!

**Sveamore**

...Thanks:-)

**squall018**

This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Keep up the amazing work!!!

**Sveamore**

Thanks, I will post a new update next Sunday. Hopefully I can have a lot more done by then.

**Biohazard**

This is incredibly impressive. Great work.

**Sveamore**

I am a little over the 4 corridor sections I have been working on so have started assembly of my first room but it is not going well. I have several design floors to work out but at least I have a lot of pre assembled parts so it shouldn't take too long.

That'd be great! It's got to be all about the assembly line with this. The base coating method you were using above sounded smart, and it looked like you were doing a big wave of them at once. I'd like to see a pic of all the corridors you've painted together
