the 'jungle terrain' is a ficus bonsai in my sunroom

Heheheh, looks cool like that though! I kinda miss that style of organic terrain.

Great stuff.

You have a gifted eye at recognizing what can be used to add detail to terrain.

The paint brings it all together into a random, but unified look as well.

basecoated the laser control thing, forgot to put a security camera on it

This stuff is just brilliant! What kinds of stuff do you source the parts from?

I guess he gets it from the garbage or something, or whatever left over equipment people have?

Really digging the laser cutter device, was waiting to see you make some actual equipment rather than just buildings!

yeah im just using whatevers arouund, Ive found 90's era tech has the right kind of 'futurism' for this terrain. I was doing a sculpture for an exhibition last year that I built out of e-waste parts and then grew salt crystals all over, so I collected a lot of broken electronics from the local dump to make that and ive still got a bit left over.

does whatever a landing pad does

love everything about this...most of all finding a use for old garbage.

I really like the painting tutorial. Great thread.

Love the laser cutter.

Its great how its all believable, when I manage to get enough models done I'm defiantly attacking some desk tops.

Didn't think much of this at firsts then I saw the terrain after painting , full of win mates. Very impressive.

I stripped these cnc buildings of most of their gubbins for other buildings so i had to do a phantom edit with some crap i had lying around to spruce them back up to standard.
undercoated with the old line marking spray, ready for some detailing tonizzy



and im painting that laser beam machine, stupid thing is taking ages didnt predict how detailed it would be

I think the extra time spent on the beam machine is paying off, I'm getting a "Fallout Vault" vibe from it, looks fantastic.

I would like to see some chipping on the floor, or perhaps some small work debris in the corners, papers? Or just good old workshop build up.

Looking forward to more.

Hmm, next up would be some higher buildings, stuff that's 3 or more floors high.

I was wondering how to replicate the "Neo Tokyo at Night" vibe used in the Infinity artwork, and your paint tutorial nailed it.

Awesome work. I think I'll be heading home via the used PC shop.

Shop? I would just head off to the garbage pile! I don't know how it works in the UK, but here in Holland we have the garbage dump, which is where people bring their garbage which is too big to throw in the bin (old furniture, building waste, etc), they often also have an e-waste department where you can find all sorts of old crap.

However, like the shops they might charge you money or be difficult about it since garbage apparently is very valuable.

Well here in the UK.... well in my city anyway, there is a dump, electrical goods go into a container, they don't come out. If you turn up with anything closely resembling a TV it draws the attention of the dump gnomes and is hurriedly dragged away.

Can you throw the stuff in yourself? Is there a means of taking the stuff out of the container? Perhaps you could talk to the guys working there, tell them you need old electronic equipment for an art project or something. It might just work.

That is amazing!
Now I'm glad that I didn't throw away all of those old printers and floppy disks.
Subbed.

I just realized you used 3.5 inch floppy disks as bases on that laser control room. Brilliant. Just brilliant.

thanks for all the comments and support guys, it means a lot


as far as collecting e-waste goes, ive never had problem at my local, but attitudes will differ depending on where you are, I guess in Europe you guys would have a lot of regulations at your dumps? Not as much barren desert wasteland to dump your unwanteds in

These pieces look excellent!

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? Consider these ideas stolen.

Hmm, looking at all of them piled up like that is even more reason for me to yell at you that you should make some taller buildings!

Wow, these are great! I love the upcycling and tons of detail. It's really, really good. You've inspired me to revisit the quick and crappy stuff I've done in the past.

Thanks for sharing!

That color palette for the buildings is perfect.
What was the technique and steps, specifically to get that look?

Really like the look of the Stacked one, maybe height is your friend, really works.

You could attempt to make a three tiered modular piece?

putting it all on ebay because im broke and need to eat in the future, thanks 4 watching guys

I hope you do well with this.

Make sure to link it here, gwaahr!

If you're interested in selling the pieces you might want to post it in other Necromunda/Infinity communities as well?
