2500kgm3 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 If any of you has visited my Work in Progress thread on this forums, you will already know I have finished the custom bastion I built for my Marine chapter. I started scratch building cardboard pieces decorated with putty sculpts and casted these pieces in resin. The result was a modular system allowing me to create a wide range of buildings, suitable for both Fantasy and 40k. In fact, this building is way bigger than a standard bastion (it's about 11.5 inches tall), but I always felt the Games Workshop bastion was too small. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/8/30/407046_sm-Bastion,%20Buildings,%20Conversion,%20Custom,%20Fortress,%20Gothic,%20Modular,%20Terrain.jpg You can watch me dryfitting the pieces of the tower on this video: And you can watch me assembling the painted pieces of the tower in the following video, including some extra configurations for bigger buildings near the end of the video: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259861-gothic-sentry-tower-a-custom-bastion-for-my-marines/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Anvilus Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 VERY nice, followed your WIP of this and I must say it comes out even better with paint on it!! now if only there was a half-ruined version of this, giving easy acces to the upper levels...*unsubtle hint* :erm: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259861-gothic-sentry-tower-a-custom-bastion-for-my-marines/#findComment-3161950 Share on other sites More sharing options...

2500kgm3 Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 VERY nice, followed your WIP of this and I must say it comes out even better with paint on it!! now if only there was a half-ruined version of this, giving easy acces to the upper levels...*unsubtle hint* :erm: If you want my advice, get the kits and break some pieces along a diagonal line with either a saw, or by fixing it to a flat surface and smashing it with a hammer (It's not easy to break by any means) that way you will have both a broken wall section and some very fitting rubble pieces. I did it to my first miscast piece (the hammer smash option) and it worked great xD Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259861-gothic-sentry-tower-a-custom-bastion-for-my-marines/#findComment-3162347 Share on other sites More sharing options...
