amonamarth Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 So I found these packing styrafoam things that were in a printer box and it hit me that these things look just like a bunker, so throwing together some left over bits to make a lasquad gun/icarus fill in I have started an imperial FOB (forward operating base) tell me what y'all think so far http://i.imgur.com/05VpfI0.jpg http://i.imgur.com/FtwmYLa.jpg http://i.imgur.com/xa1tjkJ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/0tyh1JC.jpg http://i.imgur.com/W2UumDc.jpg http://i.imgur.com/bfF3x3v.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amonamarth Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Ok so spraypaint on stryafoam is not best idea, but it may have worked out for the better. About to put the highlights on it then to attaching it to a base. Not sure if pva glue will be the best fit for this but I dont think the pva glue *elmers* melt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veteran Sergeant Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Every time I bought consumer electronics, I looked at the packing foam and was like "What a cool piece of terrain that would make."Usually ended up finally throwing it out before actually doing anything with it, lol.

helterskelter Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Heres me thinking you'd play wolves with amon amarth as your sig :p the base is coming along nicely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 If you give styrofoam a once over with PVA glue, the spray wont melt it, I also learnt the hard way...... I'm in the same boat as Veteran Sergent, I always think " I could totally use that!!!!!" then promptly toss it out. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amonamarth Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 adding some vegitation to the mix, I am going to start building a jungle table i think. Or perhaps my take on a world similar to caliban and that the angels are trying to take this planet and use it as a recruitment planet http://i.imgur.com/15ZJxPe.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amonamarth Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 id like to make clay mock ups of terrain surrounding the bunker then papermache over that to make a light cast of the shape then attach it back to the bunker to keep the whole thing light. but i see the structure a little less than half underground with the door ways and buttresses exposed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amonamarth Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Just about finished now. http://i.imgur.com/BwEgwlQ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/4e3ztQn.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrik Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 it looks good! what you could do to break up the large flat grey arreas (besides using bushes) is painting on a white, dirtied up bunker unit number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amonamarth Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 I did a wash of black to enhance the cobblestone effect the spraypaint did of partially melting the styafoam but it didnt seem to take very well, I do plan on trying to add dirt/dust and some imperial additions to it, But I do like the idea of a faded out bunker designation number.
