Today's hobby update features some terrain work that I have been planning to do for a while. Over the holiday weekend, I have been putting together some cityfight buildings that I have been meaning to build up for a while.
I won a Sector Imperialis kit ages ago at a tournament, so have finally put some more of these together. I was inspired by some of the buildings when watching a battle report online, so mimicked some of the buildings shown in the report.
I based them on 6 mm MDF, that I cut to shape and sanded to fit to the buildings I built. I then added some slate and rubble to liven up the bases a bit.
I also planned to make a city fountain-type structure. I made a square of floor tiles and built up the edges. My plan is to paint it up, then pour in some coloured resin to make a water feature. I went round the bottom with some bathroom sealant to stop the resin from leaking out when it is added. I'll try to remember to test it with some water before I go ahead and pour in the resin!
I need to add some and to the bases and seal it once everything is dry. Then a simple paint job to match my other ruins. I'm going to try and get a gaming mat or two soon for my battle reports, so these should look good with the ruins on them.
Great work Mike.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very suitable for Kill team games as well, looking forward to seeing it painted up.
Haven't picked up kill team yet. It's on my list.
DeleteGetting the sand on the bases now. Just waiting for the nice weather to spray them!
Looking good.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteVery cool... coming along nicely!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
DeleteNice work. Always liked these building despite some issues with how things line up sometimes. Kicks me to get back to mine at some point... Will look forward to seeing how they come out with some paint on 'em!
ReplyDeleteI've had these sitting in a box for ages waiting to be assembled and based. Hope to get them all done now and on the tabletop soon.
DeleteLooking good! I particularly like the hole in the floor with the pile of rubble beneath. Nice little bits of attention to detail lake that really makes the difference. As cool as the new Sector Imperialis line is, these ones were great kits too, and I kind of wish they were still available.
