WIP - Space Marine Rhino

Just a quick snap of a Rhino transport I was working on. Trying out some vehicle weathering techniques...

Scenic moments

So, I said I was making some bits of scenery recently. Here's some works in progress, some more complete than others.

Not quite sure what type of building this is. I just found some plans online for some foamcard buildings for 28mm scale. I roughed them up a bit once they were put together to give them a 41st millennium feel.

Again, same sort of thing. I will add a full guide when i get around to making another one of these complete with painting and weathering tips.

This one I had had in the undercoat stage for a while. Some kind of processing tank. A very early effort and might require a bit of extra detail to make it look good.

Once I got the buildings out the way with I decided the other tank needed some company and after a couple of beers (you can see where the cans went) I felt inspired to add some more processing units/tanks. These ones have a bit of detail added in the form of a fence and some panels on the front which I intend to add detail to with painting. Unfortunately the base started to warp once I'd used a bit of watered down PVA, ah well.

OMG - over a year since my last post!

Not that I have anyone actually following my posts...but it has been way too long. Needless to say I have been busy and distracted by a few things - including a new computer game in the shape of Final Fantasy 14. I loved the older Final Fantasy series, especially 7 and 8 but this jump to online gaming is a little boring I have to say, the story is pretty much the same all the way through, quest after quest after quest...

Anyway, I have also been painting the occasional model and recently completed s squad of Nobs from the Black Reach set. They're no actually bad models for 'free' boxed set ones, check out the pics in the Orks pages.

Currently in progress is a Space Marine Rhino, almost finished actually, just the detail on the driver/gunner and some weathering touch ups and it's ready for the table.

I've also been trying my hand at some scenery. After doing a little research into foamcore and where to get it in my city, I managed to knock up a couple of buildings from some very useful templates I found online. Add some extra details in the form of cereal packet card and a bit of weathering and they are already starting to look good. I'll add a guide for these when I build another as there seems to be a little knack for making all the bits fit properly. Check out the pics in the scenery section.
