Necromunda: The Halls of Hive Primus
looks a bit run down, but the foundations look strong.
The tanks looked ok when i made them but when placed on the board seemed disjointed and out of place, the best way to get scenery to look natural is to add on a base which blends the transition between board/mat/playing area and the scenery itself, so its time to add on a base to one or both of these tanks.
For the base i wanted just a simple raised area with a "filter pool" so i went for the model makers best friend "foam card" nice an easy to work with. for the pool i printed out a smaller cup and for the bottom of the tank i added in a little addition for extra pipes.
I took some thin card and cut out some squares and glued it to the top of the foam card just to add a bit of texture then printed off some edge pieces to form a border around it all before spraying in all in a dark silver primer.
I also wanted something in which the sludge would be vented to, the hut was Printed but the green mesh was from a garden centre, relatively cheap for metres of the stuff and ideal for making fences.
The filling station assembled complete with fences and ready to be added to the rest of the base.
The finished base, i used straws from the previous entry to make the pipes and filled in the filter pool with some green paint and liquid resin, finally the filling station was glued to the side and connected to the tank with more straws, as a final touch i added in four barrels inside the hut waiting for protein rich Soylent Gre... err... Plant Sludge.. yeah plant...
