So, I had started to dabble with a few bits of orky terrain. I'd made the two from guides on miniwargaming



but wanted something more useful.

I've decided to work on an Ork Petrol Station (used with the rules of a sky shield landing pad).



I've started making it about 2" bigger than a sky shield because i wanted to be able to fit a battlewagon underneath it and it looked silly being that tall but only as wide as a sky shield.

Here's what i've thrown together to far.



I've only really built the shape of the main part and the prices sign. Here's some more pics of the sign

the front


the back


I've added a little hatch with a step on the back of it so grotz can get in to change the prices when da umies come along



Here it is with a battlewagon parked underneath


All thoughts are welcome, i'm gonna try and finish it within the next week. I'm still trying to come up with a cool name for it. So far i've got "Morko" (like murco) and "Texorko" (like Texaco). All pun suggestions are welcome.

(P.S. - i'll be cleaning up the glue to an extent, but i'm hoping some of it will look like weld lines)

Oh wow, that's awesome

Looks fun

So I did a little more today

Finished up the price-sign


And created the fuel pump

Looks great, can't wait to see more!
Just a thought on the name: Gorkprom (Gazprom)? Bit tenuous, but thought I'd get the ball rolling. Texorko is a personal favourite.

Looks interesting! I'm gonna keep an eye on this!

So i've finally got round to doing more work on this.


Added the barriers around the top and the spiky bits and the sign for the front.


Also glued down the price sign and petrol pump, as well as running a fuel line from the pump to the tank of fuel.


Scattered some junk around the place and gave it all a covering of sand.


Did a lot of work on the top - added the launch ramp and a few patches of sand (I figured it would get messy up there with all the vehicles driving up and down)


Here's a close up of the ramp. A mix of lollipop sticks and some plastic mesh (I think it's for crocheting or something)


And here's the ramp from the other side. Didn't want to give it too much overhang as I figured the overhanging bits would have broken off by now.



Hoping to get it done by the weekend as there's a game I want to use it in on friday.

Did some spraying and built the ramp to get onto the top:


So here's the overall thing. I put more of that mesh on the ramp and it's worked really well for giving the vehicles something grip to


A closeup of the ramp


I dragged some of the sand underneath with a stiff brush before it dried to give a tire-track effect, i'll try and accent it more in the paint job


The launch ramp was the perfect size for a trukk (5+ dangerous terrain test, 4+ if a fast vehicle??)

Got the painting started

Brilliant work. Love seeing things like this

this is awesome ! can't wait to see some more !!!

Looks like a great piece of terrain

Have you figured out the name for the station yet?

Oh yes!

This is a semi-finished version, wanted to have it gaming standard for my game friday night. I'll be adding more as i add the finishing touches

Great job!

A little chipping the big red sign might go a long way. I really like it!

Yeah I was thinking that too. Gonna add some scratches, details (the fuel pump is just metal colour at the moment) and a few other bits. Maybe an oil spill somewhere?

Also, I can't believe I made a petrol station without using the generic gw oil barrels.
