Advertisements and defensive postures

 Just a couple things.

turret and cages

As part of undercoating a huge pile of civilians, I also built and/or undercoated some of the giant, overwhelming pile of terrain I've built up over the years. Hopefully I can push through procrastination, stress, and decision paralysis by just doing stuff. Of course, doing stuff also results in getting inspired and buying more stuff. Especially with the 28 scene really thriving lately, with tons of small games and tiny cool collections coming out. (Damn you, Ana Polanšćak.)

Anyway, here are a couple easy things. The billboards are from a Fogou Miniatures kickstarter from a while back (before he retired from model making). Not sure where they are now.

I'm not sure where the cages are from. The turret was a free gift from Knights of Dice when a friend sent me a pile of mdf as a birthday present years and years ago. I forgot the cardinal rule of painting something with moving parts, so it is now fixed in its current position, but I took that opportunity to do a lil battle damage and field repair to it, as you can see with more photos - below the cut.

Very, very simple! The lids are removable for ease of play, too.

I wanted to go for a dusty white approach. I should have pushed the highlights more, but whatever. It looks worn and old, which is good for this settlement.



Mucked up the turret a bit so hastily added some field repair lookin' bits.


Wouldn't encourage people to look this closely, but I think it's alright.



Detail shot of the big one. There are a few other posters from the set, which will probably go on the sides of buildings.


Reverse. Trying to figure out how to paint the back of the billboard was what had me hesitating the longest. Isn't that stupid? Just paint the damn thing.

And yes the barrels are intended for 20mm scaling. They'll work fine in 28mm - they're just little barrels, like you get in the pub or whatever. Who cares.


Reverse of the little guys. Concrete and steel, a bit of the terracotta colours I use for bases as dust.

More coming soon! I just finished a couple of Colony 87 guys...
