Refinery table ( 10)

Well this is pretty much how the tanks are going to look like, properly going to add some huge danger explosives signs on the side of the tanks, and of course rivets, rivets and more rivets.
So apart some green stuff filling and the above mentioned details the first tanks is complete.

I don't know weather or not I am happy with the look of the valve handle, but it gives a little more something to the plate, so I think I will stick with it.

Refinery table (9)

I took 10mm of the legs and I think the result is much better, but I am going to keep the space under them open, so it is possible to draw LOS or maybe I am going to put something under there later.
I took some old tubing and used it to make some pipes that will connect to some kind underground pipe system.

As for the tanks them self there are going to be some strips of plastic card running over them for detail and some kind of hatch at the top so it is possible to look inside.

Refinery table(8)

With holidays upon us I had some more the time to fiddle with my refinery table(new title... I have upgrade it from a few pieces of terrain to a whole table)

But being shot of some supplies for casting I have but the compound on hold, till I can get my hands on some more, and started on some smaller pieces for the table.

so here is a small teaser on the new pieces.
First up after seeing the picture I think it is to tall, so I am going to cut it down 10mm or so. But the big question is should it be just the 2 supports, so it is possible to draw LOS underneath the tank, or should I make it like one big block of concrete so the whole piece is blocking terrain?

BTW as some might make from the background I have to more of the small cans, so there is going to be 3 of these pieces for now.

Refinery table ( 3)

Well I actually got some more work done today, think this is one of my most productive days ever:P
I have framed the walkways, added an other level and made a latter to access the top walkway Although it might not look like much, it certainly to along time.
I had some plastic "angle iron" from evergreen plastic, and they were just perfect to create some nice edges for the walkways, and I can see I need to order up some more, cause I am going to be using a lot of that stuff now.

Refinery table ( 2)

I have started on the walkway, and must say I am pretty pleased with the result. The piece is primary made to use for either warhammer 40.000 or necromunda, so it has a lot of cracks and slots where you can shoot from, so it is not just a big block on the battle field
The support are made out of 3x3mm foamcore strips, with the cross bar glued on overlaping the supports. They are easy to construct but the is a lot of cutting and nit picking.

In the beginning I had doubt that they could support the weight of the models, but from the looks of it, they are more then capable of supporting the weight of the models, that can be placed on top of it.

The walkway it self is granny grating aka plastic canvas, and as I have said earlier I simply love that stuff, it is so easy to work with and so forgiving, it would have been more troublesome to make the deck in for instance plastic card. At the moment I am not sure if I am going to put some plastic card around the edges, but more on that later.
As a small side note I think I am going to make some sandbags on walkway so it is not completely suicide to walk up there.

Futuristic cargo container

Well I found out that making only one side of the container, might not be the write way to go. So I made half of it and planed to cast the rest, but I think i made a minor miscalculation seeing that it is like 4 times higher then a guardsman , so I am gonna make a smaller one, but at least the principal is working.
