Those graffitis are detailed and quite realistic!!!

I guess you have some real life experience, uh?

plenty of wall space left - any ideas?

Iron Without Iron Within, Death to the Fake Emperor.

those grafitties look surpreme! as if taken pics in your neighberhood...really cool.
you could print out some posters still, chibi mentioned he has some old ones for 40k size...

posters... MMM what could they be for? wanted posters certainly. I could go for death to the false emperor

no old recruitment posters with added moustaches or that antisocial sign? also what about old blood effects like a summary execution was held there also what about burnmarks? adds such a tasty soul to a building^^

vik

Some "Trust" concert posters?

that french punk? sounds cool, and i really like french music provided it isn´t a chonson^^

GW used to have PDFs of various posters, signs, etc, when they put out Cityfight. May be able to find them and their 'gothic' building templates online.

Also, I did a search for WWII propaganda posters, when scaled down to 28mm size, you can't tell they're not imperial made. I photoshopped a pile of them into one image, and printed them out on a colour printer. BOOM! Instant stuff. And, remember, posters are put up in big ole' mashable groups, or along a wall that lines a street, not one by one.

lol yep posters from wall to wall only glued on the wall with cheap glue and in process of falling down/peeling away on their own...^^

Any chance you could share them with the class?

Please?

i saw someone here on dakka having lots of miniposters in his gallery...dumb me for i cant remeber which member....

Way behind with this, but I'm loving your graffiti - adds so so much to the building! Hope you don't mind if I steal an idea or two

Thanks everybody - I would also love to see this poster file - big rows of posters here we come.

Have added scorch marks to a hole in a side wall so it looks like its been hit by a missile.

Please feel free to pinch ideas. I did a project on local graffiti when I was studying. Our local graffiti tends to be really badly done which gives it that grimy flavour. You might not associate sunny Cornwall with urban decay but just outside of town is the Gwarvas estate which was number one on a programe called "Britains worst small town estates"
Big city councils pay our local council to take problem families off their hands and put them in Gwarvas, which on the plus side leads to a lot of graffiti. On the down side I am always having to keep my eyes peeled for smack heads shoplifting with big tesco 'bag for life' bags

This is the coolest piece of graffiti I ever saw in cornwall - so I painted a painting of it

If you are a pasyker call this number ...........

cool drawing...this must have to be used here as a reference, that ghost is surley a nice thing to see...

psyker could not spell without a big mug of tea.

Painting a painting of a wall painting is pretty epic. That's some inception depth right there. GO DEEPER WEETY.

Your ruins need more Smeg scrawls. Perhaps Smeg and the Heads.They are looking really great, I think its awesome that you took random blocks and made great terrain out of it. You should do some dark moody realistic shots of your models hiding in it when it is done.

HAHAhahah lol. well I could paint a painting of a wall with a painting of a wall with a painting on it.

Smeg! I had forgotten completely about smeg until I dug this painting up. I laughed so hard once when I was in a big comet store and came face to face with a smeg fridge.

I have the next tower block stuck together and I'm about to start the laborious process of painting the damned thing. having a horrible alergic reaction to something today, feels like hay fever except I dont get hay fever and its january. So I'm scrubbing the flat for primer dust.

Ask and thou shalt receive?

The large file is for tweaking, editing, whatever.

The small file is sized for immediate printing, make sure you don't 'zoom to fit page' or what have you.

If you want the older Cityfight PDFs, please drop me a PM.

This was my old cityfight table, I'm putting it up as a reference picture for what can be done with templates, cardstock, and styrofoam.

awsome sauce and cool beans. Thanks a lot - your game board looks like fun and very realistic.

Good news - I think it was the primer, Having scrubbed the primer dust off the bathroom floor I feel much better and am no longer sneezing. I wish I had an 'outdoors' to spray in.

Spray Booth:

Cardboard box, dryer exhaust tubing, small box fan, duct tape.

Cut a hole in the bottom of the box the size of your fan, tape it in place. Make sure the fan blows OUT of the box. This is now the BACK of your spray booth.

Tape the exhaust tubing to the fan, use cardboard and whatnot to make a decent seal, so the fan is blowing down the tubing.

Put the exhaust tube out a window, and turn the fan on.

Spray.

Yeah me to ... 3 degrees to prime in sucks.

thanks briancj. Will look out for tubing on my foraging trips. I suppose BnQ would probably do it?

Heres what I've got so far. I think the balcony might be too big and I'm thinking about trimming it down before I stick on the balustrade

A good size balcony means there's a nice killing field availabe

That pic reminds me of a little gripe I had about the earlier shots - the books weren't in focus and I couldn't make out what they were (What can I say, I have some sort of fetish thing about other people's book cases )

Deliver and ye shall be praised and thanked!

the new block has some air of the empire state building on it... don´t know had this flash when looking at it as if a big ape might crawl into the pic any minute...

looks really good although i miss your color here...decision or failure of cam?

i thought about sprying indors but if i would attempt something like that my wife would skin me alive... she is very sensitive to smells...so i prime only in the cellar or even outdoors, maybe i will post a pic of some of my sons marines i pried today, did a nice aperature to hold them all in my hand whilst spraying them...smelly even so tho...


and braincj, these posters are wonderful...will download the instantly for further possible uses^^ thanks a million


vik

feel better now - dusted everything. I guess I will have to sort something out as I've got to spray these buildings. They are just too big to do any other way

Monkeytroll I agree - bigger bacony for a more interesting game.

I thought black and white gives a feel for how it will look when painted grey

ah ok...thought it was a drift into dark arty terrain^^

I was told by my other 1/2 that I cant prime inside, so I said that I would prime when he goes to bed....

Ok he said and did not go to bed until 2 AM this morning and he wonders why I get annoyed at him when he says prime outside...

Unless you want to get me more of what got messed up when priming at 5 degrees Centigrade fracks up the primer.
