The tower turned out very nicely, CB. Love that even the paintjob reflects the classic Necromunda cardboard terrain. Such a nice reference. Truly well done.

Love that weathering!

Captain singlehandedly providing more terrain on tables than the supply lines of GW

Great job!

Great tower, very nostalgic!

Nice job on the tower Capt. Brown - I really like the little winch and chain, adds some nice dilapidated flair while also adding a vertical access point.

Those table shots are just beautiful. Dense and grimy with lots of height and dangerous catwalks. Looks like a joy to play on. Your labours have been paying off, congrats!

Thanks guys.

Been a bit of a gap.

Just wanted to share some scratch built terrain I made with dog bag cores, some patterned plastic card, and a little wire.

Nice pipes CB. You here now?

Damn, I should save my dog baggie cores and do that, those look great.

I've been saving them for a while with an idea to use them, but not sure what! Great work CB

Great idea, unfortunately the ones I get nowadays don't have the core 😥

They look great! But I can’t help but think how much sh!t you had to pick up to make them .

Been here was years, just painting for the most part.

Glad it has given you inspiration.

Well I am certain there are paper cores in other things.

Yes, and I did not want the dog.

WIP






Used the original tower and the bulkheads, and plastic card for the platforms to replace the cardboard. I have been adding bits to make a more 3D look.

Painting comes next.

Very nice work!
Looking forward to seeing it painted up

That terrain looks impressive as is. Looking forward to see it finished.

Love the retro nature of this latest building!

Thanks for sharing

Looking good! Can't wait to see paint, rust, dirt and grime on it.

Thank you Guardling, Flapjack, IGtR=, and shasolenzabi

This piece was originally built from some pieces of a damaged tower, rather than make it just like the original, I matched the patchwork cardboard this one used with plastic card.







If you look carefully, you will even see some garbage in the corners on the ground level, chains hanging from a bulk head, some identity markings on plates, etc.

Great stuff CB! It can be tricky to make drab sci fi buildings look eye catching but you have done an excellent job with the wasp stripes and, cables and rust splodges.

Looking real good!

Thank you Olthannon and shasolenzabi.

Cheers,

CB

Your board look fantastic CB. Great tower and pipe stacks as well.

Very cool, love it!

Thank you Colonel Jacka and Guardling.

Getting together the parts for the next tower build. Going to do another square tower, which uses up 12 of my precious old plastic bulkheads.

Great rescue Captain! The new blended in really well with the old. The added embellishments were a great idea too

Thanks gobert.

Progress.

Clever use of transfers on the top of that tower, CB. Lovely atmospheric work all round and the little details all add interest.

Bring on the new one!

Looking good Captain.
I wonder if there are any 3D print versions of those bulkheads out there on the web?

Edit: I just checked and there are some out there. They are not copies, but they look the part.

But if I get a new source...I will get more and be compelled to finish them as well.
