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.

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

Great job!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
