Terrain Challenge - Something Happened Somewhere
Infrastructure For a Fallen Future
Feel like we got a good bit done this week. Really moving forward with the plans and getting some stuff knocked out.
First up, the roads. Once we were able to get the ePVC cut up, it was as simple as applying some glue and rolling out some Milliput. With the ePVC as a base and the Milliput on the edges, these things feel tough as nails. Once the Milliput dries fully, we can get the basing and painting complete.
Next we have the telephone poles. I really just wanted to add these for a little scenic flare. Unfortunately, the glue quickly dried and pooled up when applied directly to the ePVC bases we were using. The other one has a base coat of Burnt Umber, which should adhere the glue better. Lesson learned, but we can still make the other two work. May just try a little less water next time. Next for them is some LED lights to simulate insulators and give them wires.
This is the beginnings of the Water Pump Station. Base could have been bigger, but I didn’t have plans to make the building accessible, with the door boarded up. The front fence will be open and a cut out piece in the back for movement through the fenced area. Once the poles dry, I’ll give it some paint and go from there.
Last but not least, we have the frame of the military tent with the removable roof. Got some sand down on it as well so I can start painting it up, then moving onto adhering the fabric to the frame. Next time I will include a mini for scale in all of my pictures.
