This is another terrain piece for my Wreck Age table set in the region of Shangri-LA (
Los Angeles).
Water is a valuable commodity, and the Shangrilese have turned this crucial resource into a means for not only hydrating its populace, but administering to their health and well being.
Known as
aqua dolces or "sweet waters", the various color-coded bottles provide different relief for common ailments.
Green labels are medicinal, and relieve pain, stress and anxiety.
Pink labels are for digestive issues, and Yellow labels are for radiation sickness.
Clear labels are just purified water, which is its own treat in the arid wastes of the Mojave.
This terrain piece represents an independent water vendor sanctioned by Shangri-LA's Water Authority. Utilizing salvaged vending machines hooked up to a bio-fuel generator, this vendor can provide ice-cold
aqua dolces to customers at a premium price.
My intention for the vending machines was to weather them to the point where they looked salvaged from a flooded area. The most recent layer of paint has begun to wear in the harsh Mojave sun and is beginning to reveal the corroded layers of paint and decals that adorned these machines from a bygone era.
The Drifter and Golem were not painted by me, but by
odinsgrandson of
Garden Ninja Painting.
Here is how the terrain looked previously:
