I believe that is an Athern HO scale bridge kit right? Slightly more expensive than the cheap ATLAS kits, but nice!

Nice rivets...but I think you need
MOAR rivets

Thanks a bunch for the kind words guys, much appreciated!

@Bruticus - Afraid I couldn't tell you where the bridge is from - I got it for £3 off eBay from a gent who was cleaning out his garage. From the dust coating them when they turned up, I'd say they'd been in there for a while! Cheers for the tip - I've not done much playing with magnets, but I was thinking of trying some out for this project. Not sure I'll want a sump river flowing through the middle of every game...
And I am not going to discourage you from making more necro terrain - I can always use more inspiration! You can't quite cover an 8'x8' table yet, can you? True necromunda afficianados wouldn't stop until there was no room to move in the room you'd built it in

@LDD - Thanks a ton, man, much appreciated! Zombie posing is a lot of fun, and I maybe do some pantomiming to try out the poses when there's no one around

@nathanie - Thanks! The zombies are mostly flaggelant, catachan and cadian parts with a fair bit of GS to angle the bodies and slacken the limbs a little. I'll try and get a better shot and a parts list for you when i get home.

@Dave - Could well be, I've no idea! MOAR rivets?! Is that just revenge for everyone posting that all over your own threads? I'm running out of plasticard rod for the rivets at the mo - there's got to be about 30-40 on that scaffold structure alone! Quick trip to the FLGS around the corner will sort me out, I'm sure.

Maybe...I like Rivets, is that a crime?

Pretty much a requirement as the League Boss

I must apologise for losing track a wee while ago Scarp but I promise I am again following avidly. Your gaming table looks scrumptious

Loving the bridge so far Scarp, and the little 'dio' was very cool

Agree that magnets are the way forward, gives you plenty of flexibility with terrain.

Athern and Atlas hey Dave? Cheers, I'll look those up

A rotating bridge.....will have to make one myself. Im so glad there are so many great projects for necromunda going on dakka dakka right now, it's really gotten me back into the gaming craze.

I must admit its been too long since I've read the rule book and scenarios so I'll have to do moar research into the toll bridge, but your work is inspirational.

Really digging the sniper perch on top of the bridge.

Cheers man that would be much appreciated

I may be wrong, but...

The bottom one is the Atlas, the middle one is unknown, and the top one is Athern
..I THINK...
Don't be afraid to look into O scale (Lionel) either, rivets work in any scale

I scored a bunch of the bottom ones myself. Got to check out other local train shops. Found an o scale motorized gantry crane... But at $250 I can live without it.

Sorry, the top one appears to be by Walthers from the look, my bad

I also like the shape of this one

@Cap'n R - Not at all, it's not exactly a requirement! And you may hopefully have a vested interested in that table improving in future

@Monkeytroll - Thanks a lot! Chuffed that you enjoyed it.

@Theophony - Thank you, that's really kind to say! Dakka has a fantastic necromunda scene, and most of my ideas tend to be amalgamations of other people's ones anyway The toll bridge isn't one of the RB scenarios - I think it was released in one of the magazines they did, not sure. Have you found yakromunda yet? Fantastic website and well worth a sign-up. They've got the community ed rules, and a free PDF download of pretty much every necro scenario or rule that's ever existed. Give it a look!

@Dave - The bridge bits say 'Tri-ang' in small letters on the side - I was just about to scrape them off, but I thought it might be useful info for you! I'm clueless about model trains - is that a company?

The following shot is for Nathanie - will do my best to go through what's in each one.




And finally, a few smaller walkways I've been putting together for my tin can towers:


Hope you like, and please let me know what you think!

@scarper I have found yakromunda, haven't posted there yet, and have made use of the terrain saved there. Will look more at the scenarios and such this week.

Like the bridges. Is that alumn. Window screening your using for the mesh?

Aha, I see the zombie thing has hit you Scarper!

Zombie 1 has a mantic zombie hand or some other zombie companies hand by the looks of it the rest I worked out

Cheers man you are the best, lots and lots of inspiration from them and will have a play this week.

Ps my names Nathaniel although Nathanie does sound very cute. My friends call me Nate. Feel free to do the same

Ahh it looks like a UK company

Hell man it's already pretty orgasm-inducing from where I'm standing. I've only played on one other custom-built Necro board, and that was tasty, but I can see the love in yours

Speaking of love, could you take a gander at my currently dainty wee plog sometime? I've finally got on the case - I'll try and find some Necro minis to put on there soon as well, maybe include their stats at their time of retirement and a bit of history as well.

Dude awesome bridge! Love the snipers hideout details =)

Tri-ang used to make accessories for Scalextric too from what I recall.

Added Walthers to my list

Great looking stuff there Scarp. You gained my respect a long time ago and that remains unchanged with every project. You do amazing and inspiring things.

long time i didn´t look into this thread...

my bad...

the bridge scnene looks very cool...

if i would get 10cents each time i say...:i need to make my own zombies..." i´d be a millionare by now...

damn... i need to make my own zombies^^

@Theophony - It's an amazing resource, so handy to have everything there. It is indeed aluminium mesh - got some off eBay for a song.

@Shaso - It has indeed! They're a really fun part of the setting, and well... I just like zombies

@LDD - Well spotted, I missed that. It's a hand from one of the studio miniature multi part plastics, to be exact. Good eye if you got the rest though! You're a walking bits encyclopedia

@Nate - Hahaha, it was a typo mate, honest. Though Nathanie does have a certain ring to it... Looking forward to seeing what you do with your own zombies!

@Dave - Well found, that certainly looks like the bit, though I'm missing the struts and the cross braces. Still, £3 (maybe $5?), so I'm not complaining!

@Cap'n Roderick - Well thank you kindly, that's really good to hear! I did not know that you'd started a blog - give me a second to finish this up and I'll be all over it!

@Two Spartan - Thanks man! Glad you like it - The nest was a lot of fun to put together.

@Skalk - It was your use of railway bridges for your awesome hazard stripe bridge that got me to bid on the tresses in the first place! That is a massive compliment though, and I really appreciate it, thank you. Hope I can keep it going

@Vik - Hahaha, I think you may have said something similar when I posted the last batch! Thank you for the kind words.

Showed the start of this a little while ago, but I've been making more progress on the shanty housing and ruins. It's still very WiP (a lot to do on the floor, in particular), but this is as far as I'm getting tonight.
Hope you like!




Please let me know what you reckon - there will be a few more homely details around the shanty before I'm done

I just love your bin bags and now orange ones I know bust they do please me

We have green, yellow and blue plastic bags at work do you want some ? You could do clinical waste then
No but seriously it's coming on we'll any chance of a close up of the the shed house ?

Just to let you know, I've totally ripped off your idea in the most blatant and unapologetic way possible. I'm posting my WIP tonight w/ a link back here and due credit, but yeah... completely ripped.

LOL... "Fam...went swimming in the scum..." ROFL...

talent and humor... great mixture!

and that shed need a closer look...(again?)

Ahh Graffiti! .>And some absolutely Excellent Graffiti too I may add!

Take it as a complement that I have ran out of adjectives to say, I'll simply say the latest bits of terrain are really cool, especialy loving the zombies glad to see some 40k zombies not using fantasy zombie bits

Thanks so much for all the comments, guys, I really appreciate them. Will reply to the lot of you in the mornign, when I'm coherent enough to string a sentence together. In the meantime, the latest sportswoman:



And the group so far:

"Anyone seen the ball?"

Hope you like, and I will reply when I'm less exhausted!

Very nice sports team, I really like the variety in skin colors.
