I've also added windows with yellow acetate this time, unfortunately the side windows got a bit messy being so fiddly and now look like they need cleaning !
The gun turret on top was made from spare bits from other kits and a bit of green stuff, it's also movable and removable if I want to change weapon loads or the whole piece at a later point.
Didn't have a ladder for the lower section so used one from my company cut to fit, also the top hatch came off a rhino kit to make it secure.
Kept the weathering to a minimum to show the building is maintained, although it looks like the trainee techmarines might need to repaint the Hawk soon.
Have been working on some new scenery as well and have almost finished a Cyborg charging station, will be making these available through the company as soon as I've got it moulded, the base plate is designed to fit within a standard 25 mm base so models can be placed in the cubicle without any problem.
That's all for this post, hoping to finish some more Jewel of July submissions and more scenery before too long, so until next time stay safe and have fun !
Cheers Dave
Love this Dave and have taken inspiration from it myself. I love how you have taken a bought item and turned it into something truly bespoke.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael, nothing wrong with bought items on the whole, but making it your own, get give you an enormous sense of pride when it's on the table
DeleteLovely work Dave, that building front looks great really strange that I came without a door though!
ReplyDeleteI still love that "charging station", that is a great bit of work, even if I didn't know what it was to start with! :-)
Cheers Roger.
Thank you Roger, I thought it was strange too ! LOL Happy with the look in the end
DeleteGlad you like the charging station, the closest you might have seen to it would be Borg regeneration chambers in Star Trek, obviously I've had to put my own spin on it so as not to infringe on copyright
That fortress entrance looks so good! The custom door looks like it was stock too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dai, that is very high praise indeed mate.
DeleteGreat looking improvements on the original entrance!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you Iain, on the whole it was a pretty good kit, just needed some tweaking to add another level
DeleteExcellent work, just excellent.
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt, really nice to finally have this finished
DeleteWow Dave - hugely impressive! Love to see a completed large piece, and this one is certainly that - and the custom additions like the door and windows just give me ideas for down the line when I start on my own one of these...
ReplyDeleteThank you Azazel, it's taken the challenge to finally get this done ! LOL if it's inspired your own creations, then that's a great thing in my book, as I take inspiration from others creations myself, and if we can't share ideas then what's the point !
DeleteJudging by the size of the door, that's a pretty tall building and will make a great batllefield feature !
ReplyDeleteThank you Joe, it is a pretty large piece indeed, and should make an impression on the battlefield
