Artwork, Terrain, and Painting... Oh my!
So its been a while since i posted on here, mostly due to the enormous work load i have been working on. Whether its been self published author maps to Wizards of the Coast and Fantasy Flight Games artwork, i have been mad busy painting up maps and boardgame stuff. However, i have been working on putting together my own terrain and figured i would throw it up on here:)
Bolt Action Scifi Update
Regardless, i have almost finished painting up my Neo sovs, and now have about 40 infantry and 35 NATO troops done, along with almost all the vehicles. I do need to paint up a HMG team or two, as well as snipers and support personnel and when i do i will try to get pics up. I have also been play testing with my buddies at the local shop ad have updated the rules a bit, and added certain things to make it a bit more balanced. As of right now, these haven't been typed up yet, but i will get them on here ASAP when i get a chance to! NATO won a very tight victory in our last engagement by a single VP, though it was costly!
15mm Sci fi Terrain
My dad recently finished school for Phlebotomy, and while he was attending clinicals he had been bringing home all sorts of interesting containers, medical tubes, and such for me to use in my 15mm scifi stuff. This stuff combined with some common recycled containers has created a few interesting pieces. I built a Large communications or storage tower, a smaller one, and am currently working on a small processing plant. Check them out:)

| Small tower with figure. Up-ended small Vitamin C bottle, a few test tubes, and a few bits from plastic pipes and such. The base is quarter inch foam core that i cut and scored, then painted over. Huzzah! |
 |
| Another shot, i need to paint numbers on them. |
 |
| Power Amp/Chemical building. Some recycled plastic, a few medical containers, and some little bits tacked on. |
 |
| The back of the station. |
 |
| Large Chem Power building front. Size comparison of the two pieces with figure. This one was a large Vitamin C container up-ended, some Pegasus hobbies bits stuck on, as well as a few plastic blood/needle containers stuck on top. |
 |
| Large contaner back. Im going for a more clean refined look with these pieces, with neutral colors and broad rounded square shapes. I will need to put numbers and a few decals on them as well. |
I've had alot of fun with these, and look forward to doing some more. If you have any ideas, i'd like to hear them, i'm always looking for new ones!
Till next time,

Wasn't sure about the paintjob on these when I saw them over on TMP, but seeing more shots together like that (and the hi-res versions), it really looks sharp. Can't wait to see how that bigger building with the three tanks turns out.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking stuff... I really like how the pill bottles turned out.
ReplyDeleteI found a HUGE plastic savings jar (for collecting coins in) in a charity shop last week. Cost me just 20c to buy, and is already being built into one of my similar 25/28mm gaming projects :-) I find most of my more interesting bits in charity shops, as you find all kinds of things that just scream "Build something with me!!!" Discount shops are also a good place to find cheap toys that can be disassembled and added to your scratch-building parts, and when painted up and varnished, look amazing :-) beautiful work here, as pill bottles always come in handy, as well as those that come with mints/sweets in that you find in shops. I use them for making downed escape pods as well as parts for industrial installations :-)
