Just before Christmas i was given the suggestion to make some kind of assembly line track with a more Grimdark feel, I really liked the idea of some kind of manufactorm track so i set to work....
I Started with the base, nothing fancy but i wanted a couple of tracks in the middle then some spaces along the edge for fixtures and fittings.
I had a feeling that i would need quite a few track pieces so i opted to make resin casts rather than reprint them over and over again, if anybody is interested in making rubber moulds and re casting in resin i can recommend DWR plastics in the UK, great products and relatively cheap.
I made up the mould that i would need....
and then started casting copies of the original.
For the edges i wanted some variation, control consoles, power banks and housing for the assembly arms.
and for the assembly arms i went for 3 variations, heavy tool arm, claw and scanner.
I took the casts and mounted them on some foam board, than added some printed edging, once everything was assembled i gave it a heavy spray of light and dark silver then a light mist of rust paint.
with the addition of some weathering effects and the finished assembly arms things were starting to look good.
I repeated the process again to make a second track which would spread across the board, i will probably do this one more to get a really long track... but for now here is some Orlocks ambushed by soime Van Saar.... industry stops for nothing... not even a firefight.
Fantastic! Love it as a Necromunda set piece.
