Info's wasteland wanderings

[AlxRaven]

I agree. This is my favorite piece as well. Awesome work on the little details that make it more immersive.

[Alaiteir]

I love the details, like the comic and string wrapped around the posts!

Thanks again all

@GateKeeper

Any chance you can let us know how you did it? Is the wall scratch built, or you bought it somewhere?

The canopy is watered down paper towel, painted? Or something else.

The walls were bought from Fenris Games (Miniatures, Roleplaying Games and Board Games | Fenris Games) as part of their Rubble City kickstarter but they should be going into normal production soon, I think. They are more fantasy than sci-fi but work well enough
The canopy is indeed paper towel covered in slightly watered PVA and then painted afterwards. I covered the walls and post with plastic food wrap, since PVA won’t stick to it, it gives it the right shape but I can take it off aterwards for easier painting.
All the little details are just things I had laid around, I always like to make the terrain look “lived in” so I pick up random odds and ends whenever I get a chance

I know there was talk from modiphius on their blog about them doing all the crafting stations

Pretty sure I remember seeing that as well, hope it’s still in the plan for one of the later waves

More terrain bits, these are simple LOS blockers. MDF shipping containers from Multiverse Gaming Terrain, lovely simple kits that really work well

Not much time this weekend but managed to put together a quick cooking station.

[Alaiteir]

That looks awesome! Where’d you get the cinder blocks and bucket?

[GateKeeper]

I agree, that looks awesome, how’d you make it?

[Info_Overload]

Thanks

@Alaiteir

Where’d you get the cinder blocks and bucket

I got the cinder blocks from ebay, I think I searched for “O scale cinder blocks” but I can’t remember. The bucket is from a pack of 1/35 barrels and jerry can model kit I picked up, I think that’s Italeri but again, I’m not 100%

@GateKeeper

how’d you make it

It’s all stuck round a 20mm slotta base, I textured the top up to hopfully look like ash and cinders. Then glued the cinder blocks round it. The metal support pole is a couple of scrap bits of plastic rod and bar glued together with jewellry chain added. The wire mesh is just bent and curved into shape. I kept the mesh and the pole with bucket seperate for painting. Hope that helps

[Alaiteir]

Ah cool, I’ll have to have a look around! I know greenstuff world sell a mould so you can cast your own cinder blocks, but I don’t know if those would be in the right scale

[Info_Overload]

The Greenstuff world mould has the dimensions of the bricks on the webpage. I’ll measure up a brick and take a comparison picture with a mini when I get home tonight, so you can judge

[Alaiteir]

That’d be awesome, thanks!

[GateKeeper]

Thank you for the description. Not sure when I’ll get to it, but I think that is going on my list of things to eventually make.

[Info_Overload]

It was a quick and surprisingly fun build

Well, apart from the part where I managed to glue myself to the bricks…

[Alaiteir]

Always felt you can’t call yourself a proper modeller until you’ve glued yourself to at least a few of your miniatures (at least, that’s the excuse I come up with when I do it )

[Info_Overload]

I always manage to glue myself to something

Quickly measured one of the cinder blocks and it’s 7 x 15mm, so very slightly longer than the smallest of the two on the Greenstuff world mould. Here’s an even ropier than normal picture with my knight and an unpainted Nora, for scale

[Alaiteir]

Ah cool, I’ll have to remember that. Thanks for getting it out and measuring
