Starks333 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Me and my friend Seb are building this...we liked the idea or the modular thing, so we worked it out and cranked out a plan for the sizes gallery: http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/Scenery/ the plan is modular parts that fit in the table to be able to move them around as we please: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/Scenery/100_5221.jpg this is a sand dune in progress...just building it up will eventually shape it up proper with a more wavvy look http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/Scenery/100_5224.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/Scenery/100_5225.jpg Seb working on some walls...we poured a couple...a monument base, a well, and some random things http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/Scenery/100_5226.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/Scenery/100_5231.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frost Knight Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 very cool idea. I say get the archane ruins and make them half buried in the sand you could also add parts like random cadian helmets or bolter laying forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morfesto Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Were gonna add some buildings with some pipelines and I'm gonna build some sort of awesome boiler. Here is an idea of the kind of buildings we will be doing. http://seriesoftubes.ca/morfesto/pics/DSCF7595.JPG http://seriesoftubes.ca/morfesto/pics/DSCF7597.JPG http://seriesoftubes.ca/morfesto/pics/DSCF7591.JPG http://seriesoftubes.ca/morfesto/pics/DSCF7589.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks333 Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 well some more progress, not as much because half the stuff was still drying....we will be getting a hot wire cutter soon...because that would make our building lives 37891274988792394849832 times easier!!! For future reference Builder: Seb Ideas/finishing work: Alex thats why most of the pics for now will be him building stuff hahahaha Seb working on the belltower...yes the bell is large, possibly a bit too large...however it is functional :wub: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/Scenery/100_5245.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/Scenery/100_5246.jpg heres a table shot: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/Scenery/100_5239.jpg a plan for the strip club(this is a desert wasteland, so bunch of naughty things happen :P) http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/Scenery/100_5240.jpg and heres a shot of the pipeline...it will connect to two buildings and one will have a nice big boiler http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/Scenery/100_5243.jpg Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 looking good, you'll find quickly there is one problem with modular boards.... guess range weapons become redundant... "ok this section is 6" across than hes half way through that 24" bit, so I think he might be 18" inches away".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchell93 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 that looks good but mabey more open ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks333 Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 the guess range thing isnt as big of a deal really...not many things have guess range and guess range isnt really anything special anyways however it can affect the am i in range aspect...but its a sacrifice(i myself prefer built in tables but..) as for open ground, we will make a few extra pieces to exchange, but generally we like terrain, open ground is boring and less restrictive one 2x2 is the dune, it will be softened so its ssentially open ground...then the other 2x2 will have room to manouvre but still cover...theres a bunch of roads...the 12x18 is a landing pad which will again have space for movement...and as mentioned we can always create some stand ins that are a bit more open if we find in the end its a bit too crowded :) Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Just a quick question... can I have what you have sat on top of the black GW carry case in the first pic?? hehe :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks333 Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 its pretty fun so far, but i havent got to do much cuz im useless at building things nicely...my work only begins to look nice when its closer to the end so it would make for ugly WIP pics :) as for the nicely arranged mech sisters...that would be Sebs army! i decided to unload my mech crimson fists upon completion as he has mech sisters, my friend has mech death korp...so.....too many vehicles!! you guys just need to get on his case about painting his damn armies now hahahah ' Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reyner Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 This looks interesting, is the strip bar on a desert world a nod towards Firefly? (If I'm way off then I'm sorry hehe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starks333 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 assassins creed was the inspiration along with star wars actually...i like the whole concept of star wars universe, the world more than the movies,, movies were cool but the universe is awesome i like the tech they have, backwater yet advanced in ways Seb just liked the style from assassins creed ironically neither of his armies are desert themed...but the spare necron army is..while my bike army is as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy and won't melt your eyeballs from painting all those details (Your models NEED your eyeballs, as who else can paint as good in Ottawa? :cuss ) and you can print up a whole sheet of rugs/carpets in mere moments...

Starks333 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 i could do that in theory, but my quality bones wont let me...the scenery may not be top notch in the end, but i want it to look quality plus it will gimme some sculpting practice and freehand practice, i havent done much freehand of more complex designs so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NealSmith Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Looking good so far! Can you explain what's going on in the last "walls" pic from the first post? Using Legos to make a mold? What does it look like after it's finished drying? What is it going to be used for in the overall scheme? Thanks, Neal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks333 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 heres a tut by fellow team mate: http://akaranseth.over-blog.com/pages/Step...ter-360501.html we may not be building them as bricks or atleast a final layer of bricks, we might have a "plaster coat" over and do bricks under like the other buildings the benefit to plaster walls is you can add more damage and detail to them, foamboard is great for quick buildings but it prevent you from doing that nice detail damage or bullet holes, or brickwork and so forth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NealSmith Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Interesting and very nicely done, but it seems a bunch of work? What about Linka molds? You can do damage and brick showing through on foamboard if you want. I can't find the link now, but I have it at home... You can also, if you don't care about the texture, glue paper with bricks printed onto it. Here's an example, in 15mm, of what I'm talking about: http://share.shutterfly.com/action/picture...4505cc&pg=6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NealSmith Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 That's cool. Wish I had your time! :) Here's the link to the Linka mold website just in case you can find something that meets your standards... http://www.linkaworld.com/ I think the other link for the foamboard ruins went away. He did have some pretty good detail in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenCrute Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Very nice looking. I suggest muslin or hessian for the building rugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
