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.

The Bastion (4)

Hmm have been quite some time since i last worked on any modeling related projects. But with my summer vacation over, it is time to get busy with the modeling again. I have had close to a month to ponder over new ideas so I am ready to get going.

I have some ideas for the walls, doing the with a angle like the tower, and I most say I am pretty satisfied with the result.





























I am thinking about using some strips of plastic card to cover up to joints, making it look steel reinforced like the tower.

At first I was think about using the agies defence line bits for the parapet, but the bends will make it look weird. So I am just making them out of foam like the rest of the wall.

































(space marine just for size compariosen and not included in the final product?)

I am gonna do the stone work just like the other parts of the wall, and the glue the part together, witch also means the for now i am stuck since I don't have my glue with me atm, but hopefully I will be able to get it tomorrow.

The Bastion (2)

Last night I worked some more on the bastion, more specific I made an other door, since the kit only comes with one and i needed 2.



The reason for the back piece being higher then the door is that i have a big hole, left over from the heavy bolter emplacement, that I have to cover up.




A small keypad so you can lock the door.




And the end result.

All it needs now are rivet, rivet and more RIVETS.

The Bastion (1)

I have recently gotten my hands on the new Bastion kit from GW, and thought i would have some fun with it. This project will also give me some opportunities to try some new techniques, among other making texture on foam board.

I don't want this to be just an standard bastion, so i am building the tower with a fortified walkway to the quad autocannon, overlooking the entrance.



I am planing on using the aegis defence line as the fortifications on the walkway. The quad cannon will be placed at the end of the walkway, on top of the entrance.





The walls are made for 10mm thick blue form board, and the brick work is made using a ruler and a permanent marker, but i suppose you can use any kind of pencil or pen.
