Manda's (Amachan) Post-Apocalyptic Terrain
Clean up and some prep work.
Since barrels aren’t always standing up I filled in some of the airbubbles at the bottom of the barrels with some Vallejo Plastic Putty (70.401)
The tires have a bit of filling in them, this probably makes them easier to cast. So those had to be removed carefully and than filed down the edges to make it smooth.
The teddy bears came mounted on a plank of resin. To get them off I placed a sharp knife in between the bear and the plank slightly angled towards the plank. I pushed down and they came flying off, literally. So after collecting all the teddy bears I cleaned of the flashing on them and shaped the bottom so they will sit nice.
The cardboard boxes are fairly bland and small and there are 16 of them. To make it easier to use on the table and to paint I glued them together in 2 stacks of 8.
The garbage bags and the flames had very little flashing to clean up and were done quite quickly. I glued the flames on top of the barrels as they are a nice fit on these barrels and it makes these barrels need to stand up so the bottom actually isn’t as much of an issue.
Then I decided to get a bit more creative and take some inspiration from Fallout. I drilled a small hole in the paws of one of the teddy bears and glued in a bit of 1mm bras rod. I then tried to sculpt some marshmallows on the rod and glued him on one of the barrels as well. Now he can set next to a fire roasting his marshmallows.
