Your old school terrain and models are just fantastic. To me, this is truly what the hobby is all about. Massive, complex models covered in detail and airbrushed to a gorgeous standard have their place, no doubt, but there is nothing that beats the fun and charm of homemade terrain and the restrained look of the classic models - that are actually to scale!

You’ve been busy CB. The can towers turned out great, I bet they look ace amongst the rest of your terrain with all the scum of the underhive crawling all over them. The extra characters you’ve added to the collection all came out well too. The beast master and his face huggers are especially cool

Thank you Riddle and gobert.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Gun fight on a platform in the Necromunda Under-Hive.

Should be viewed listening to Ennio Morricone's instrumental them to the movie of the same name.

Your models are great, really make me wish they would relaunch Necromunda. It was such a good game even when you lost there was usually one fun moment to take away from it.

Too bad GW just wants to cash in quick and not worry about developing a culture besides buy it quick.

Everything about this is awesome. The build, the models, the details, the graffiti, the weathering... Even to the positioning of the models in the first pictures
There is so much character in this whole setup.

You have definitely secured my vote for the challenge!

Followed your instructions and listened to some Ennio Morricone: not the main theme, but the Ecstasy of Gold that plays during the duel
One of my all time favorite scenes btw.

Thank you Theophony

Thanks Ezki, I forgot the penultimate scene had a different song...the unloaded gun was also great.

Some more close ups of different styles and ages of graffiti. What I really need is a page of colored graffiti that I can print and glue as a base and then add more on top to look more realistic with layered tagging.

There must be somewhere that has 1/35 scale graffiti images on an 8 1/2 by 11 page.

You want 1:48th or o-scale, 1:35 is a bit too large in my experience.

Model railroading to the rescue!

Great shot of the platforms with the three minis. Although none of them looks particulary good, but every one of them ugly (the sculpt, not the paintjob ). Now you need the old Cypher model mopping the floor with them in under a second

Love those old Scum minis, they always seem to have more character than new minis

That green-screen background adds even more to the old action movie feel. Great work!

Very nice work on the towers and their graffiti.

...oh and the Ratskin Scout is superb!

Towers looking fab, and the green-screen background is begging for an insert of a backdrop ala box art!

Thanks Briancj, I am really looking for something I could just print out on a color printer.
Thank you Viterbi, Guardling, Max Moray, and IGtR=
Thanks youwashock, green-screen look was created by it being the largest neutral background that would fit the items in one shot. Speaking of which, I was playing around with some of my newer longer bridges and the tomato can platforms.




Photoshoot was interrupted by an attack by the Giant Under-Hive Cat.

Those bridges look stellar with the new towers.
Quite the monster there. A dealy and vicious giant of a beast if ever there was one.

“I’m here for the catwalk...”


Great looking setup there, Cap. Kudos.

Awesome stuff Captain Brown! Always cool to see models and terrain together especially when it looks this good.

The new terrain looks great together, hopefully everything survived the giant feline!

That cat photobomb is ace But really love the overhead shot, really gives a sense of scale to all the great terrain.

Thanks guys.

All the terrain and figures survived as the Giant Cat was careful stepping between catwalks.

A small addition, some members of a new gang.

Orlocks are looking great

Catwalk , always nice to see the masters of Dakkadakka members strutting around Inspecting their charges work.

Thank you Theophony.

Charlie (the Siberian) passes on his approval of you recognizing his status.

Another two Orlocks finished.



The gang so far.


With more to come:

Your smashing these boys out Captain Brown. A cool 60s biker vibe they’ve got going on

I do love the old Orlocks. Been stripping my own orlocks and seeing these is giving me motivation to get them off the back burner and into the hotseat. You're going for the classic look with the colours here. Did you consider anything different?
I always thought they were very Bruce Springsteen. If The Boss took the blue collar working man vibe to the level of gang violence.

theCrowe,

I did make a little deviation from the classic scheme...I dropped the red shirts due to the Star Trek connitations...no need to give your opponents certainty that gangers with red shirts will perish.

Next up:


Cheers,

Have been very busy with work and renovations...but I did manager to get some paint on Kal and Scabbs.

The catwalks are top-notch... as usual, you have a great eye for seeing the finished product in total while assembling it piece by piece.

Love those Orlocks, always fun seeing you tackle those old minis. Kal and Scabbs are coming along nicely too.

Thank you MacPhail and Viterbi,

Kal Jericho and Scabs - in the original metal.

My necromancy collection is extensive but I never had these two, or the devil Valois. Cal is a great lookin mini. He even makes a brace of Laspistols look cool.

Nicely done on both of these. Good bold contrast. I'll bet they really pop on the tabletop.

Nice job on these two heavy weights of the underhives. Cal has some great facial hair going off too
