I cheated. It's just a picture of a rug...but yeah, I think I might be insane. What kind of nut job takes pictures of rugs?

Robotic rug vendor next?

I was wondering what next. I guess I better start taking some more rug pictures.

Ok let's get past the yes it's amazing full of detail and looks bloody awesome ....Which it does

Now
1 where is the big yellow bot from
2 where are the little wheeled bots from ( especially the wheel sections )
3 how did you do all the signs and do you have some links to get the same please

Hey LDD, a man after my own heart - it's all about the details.

The big yellow bot is by Titan-forge, from their x-terra range. They are Titans and come in packs of 3. I changed the head and put a Tau Battlesuit head on.
The wheelie bits are from Mantic's Ro-Tek brutes robot team. So is a large amount of the other robot junk. The set is brilliant for bits.
The signs are just prints, with a bit of sponged-on rust added. Away from my hard drive at the moment but I should be able to upload them in a week or so.

Damn that's why I couldn't figure out the yellow bot it's the head that alters the look so much.
Mantics Ro-Tek have to check that out for sure.

I have to say the way you have combined all this is great, the eye for the detail and that sense of realism is spot on.
The kiosk/office is great the carpet and oil can just brings it to life, add to that the scratched surfaces and tarpaulin held down with bricks s epic.

I have to say after seeing your previous work over on PAW, this is just another epic piece and lives up to the high quality I have expected from your work.

I have to say thanks for the info mate and keep this coming

Wow. Subbed!

Well, this is just amazing. I was looking at the first load of pictures and just hoping the paint job was gonna do it justice. Then I saw the weathering on the train and thought, "This is gonna be good."
Absolutely top notch stuff, thanks for sharing.

Fantastic and very realistic setup. Looks like it could fit right into fallout

So while I get on with the next few projetcs I thought I'd keep posting by adding a few more of my other Junktown pieces. This one is the Junktown Gun Shop, suppliers of the best scavenged low and high end military and hunting hardware from across the wasteland.

First the WIPS





And the finished beast

And the hits just keep on coming! These pieces are terrific- the quality of assembly and painting, the attention to detail, the novelty and the creativity- consider me subbed! Can't wait to see what comes next.

I love your work as it reminds me of being a kid going to the model railway exhibitions with my dad, it was never about the trains it was the scenery and layouts looking for all the little stories playing out in the layout.
Which is why I really enjoy your work as it combines two things of the hobby I love, it's always great looking at your dioramas finding the little real life aspects you sneak in.
For instance the piped in gas canisters that I just loved, the cheap guns tossed in the container and the sun canopy and chairs just brilliant.
I really do wish you would do a list of bits though, I always look and think that I could use that or that would fit nicely for this.

Anyway great work again mate keep it coming and thanks for making entertaining dioramas.

Stunning, simply stunning...

You may have already answered this, but I'm too lazy to go back and read ! The chinook model where did you get this and what's the scale of the model? Same questions on the shipping container?

Very cool man!

Dear god man I just meant a little list of manufacturers but the links was very helpful indeed

Some great links new a few but some that are new to me, great mix of bits and well used and blended together.

I have those airfix quad bikes myself was looking at them the other day, good to see they work well.

Well great stuff mate can't wait to see the next creation, just one mor thing the Bots shop sign did you make it or buy it ?

Is the buggy the spectre one ?

The rug in the bot shop really ties the room together.

That's not the point Walter

Wow, that list is amazing - my wallet may never forgive you though

A few scatterable to fill up Junktown

A couple of leaky fuel tanks









And a generator

And now some WIPs of my next Junktown shop - the clothing and armour/armor store. This is mostly just shelfs and the like. Also working on some racks with packs, webbing etc.

Wow love the armour vendor, super creative use of bits, it's so obvious yet i've not seen it before (or considered it myself). Really love that hoody figure as well, shady neo tokyo youth, what range is he from?

The attention to detail. man

Thanks for the kind comments all.

The guy in the hoodie is from Spectre Miniatures MENA Civilians range - link below. They are great figures.

Once again very inventive and can't wait to see this progress, love that you added straps to the gasmasks nice touch.

I have one slight issue with the body armour though, the Cadian armour would look better if you removed the cloth and belt and had just the armour itself.
Not sure if this is just early work and you will be doing it but thought I would mention it, also the arm armour will you be cutting the complete arms into sections ?

Like the racking with the cloth/clothing in the shelving, what did you use to make them as it looks quite neat ?

Just lovely and amazing scenery.

Thanks LDD, you're right about the body armour - I spotted the cloth after I glued it in place. Will have to cover or paint it in a way that makes it less obvious. As for the arms, they are a mix of full and cut down. I had planned to leave some as complete arms like this:



The clothing is metal foil from here. Heavier and softer than kitchen tin foil, which makes it really nice to work with.

Re reading what I wrote makes it sound like I was questioning the arm armour when in fact I was actually wondering if you was keeping them as one piece or going to cut them up, as for the body armour it just looks a litle odd with the cloth.
The only reason I noticed it was a because it reminded me of a conversion I saw ages ago, it was a IG carrying his armour in his hand. The armour was a Cadian torso hollowed out and left connected by the shoulders pads, it was a great little conversion and looked right.

Anyway back to your work, that foil works a treat I really like how it doesn't crease which gives a more natural feel to it.

What's next then ?

Dude your stuff is just awesome.

Not only the countless details but the superb paintjob makes this terrain genius!
You need to keep us posted. And tell me, how much time does i thing like the bot shop consume?

LDD that pic is a great find. Will have to try and steal that idea - thanks. As for what's next, see below!

Thanks Grotrebel, the Bot shop took about three weekends, or bits of. I tend to do the build in little bits and then do the paint job in one or two long bursts. Total 25-30 hours I guess.

Next up GENERATORS.

I loved the look of the GW Galvanic Servohaulers set, but not to make the haulers themselves. I wanted the bits! The crane I'll make more or less as intended, but as for the rest...

Oh wow what a cool piece of terrain.

Cant wait to see what you do with the cranes.

Damn you done it again, I don't know what I hate you more for the ingenuity or the speed at which you work ...... actually both

No but seriously that is great what really pulls it together is the girders it's resting on, it gives the sense of repurpose.
But no you ain't happy with just that you add the extra details, the fact the engineer (I use the term loosely) has refitted, botched, and crafted to keep the rust bucket running.

I love it a single piece and it has a story, now I hope you are adding a greased stained, dungarees wearing, hands on hips character next it, also oily rag hanging from pocket.

Keep amazing me mate as I really enjoy your updates.
