This thread has me wanting to build some terrain up soooo badly

Excellent! My evil plan is working...

Thanks, guys.

Currently working up some more storage tray buildings for a tutorial and (hopefully) another build video.

I made a bunch of assorted signs up in Gimp, which I just print off in whatever size is appropriate as I need them.

Sample below... Text is in (Google translated, so probably very bad) Esperanto, just because it seemed appropriate and because it let me have some fun with the text without being really obvious about it...

That's really cool. I'm going to have to steal that idea. Maybe that image.

The Esperanto is a nice touch. Makes me think of Red Dwarf.

Yeah,
Smashing stuff,

The guide is really good too.
The only thing I would add is maybe sanding the plastic surface a little to help spray paint adhesion.

That military green is really well done.
Amazing.

Wow, I agree the painted buildings look great! Especially that first one, zoom out and put it on a flocked board and I'd think it's the real thing

I love it, and want to make some!

Anyone have a link to comparable product here in the USA, via Home Depot or Lowe's?

I can't locate it...

Not sure about specific stores, but here's an Amazon seller with what looks like a pretty much identical piece of kit to what I used.

This week's article is up: SciFi Western themed building, from the terrain sprue and a slightly hacked-up Plast Craft Games Old West building:

Just checked out the WIP shots in the article. That turned out great!

It would look right at home in a certain space western sci-fi universe named after a flying insect with a bio-luminescent abdomen.

yeah,

Reminds me of Brave Starr, The town all closed up when the bad guys came into town.
Doors/Shutters closed and awnings and porches retracted into the buildings.
