Infinity Terrain

I played more infinity at the weekend and realised I have way too little terrain. Luckily enough I have the management module to do. Fired up I loaded up the drawings and started to go through converting my 3D drawing to 2D for laser cutting.

I started to lose motivation just drawing so I decided to do the roof section fully to base coat and leaving only weathering and glow effects. Then go with renewed vigour to get the rest done.

I laser cut everything out of the usual 0.5 and 1mm card and 2mm MDF. I also cut some 2mm clear acrylic to use as glass and assembled with superglue (minus the acrylic). I done a basecoat of black with and grey and dusty blue speckle.

Here I tried something awesome. I used dots of liquid mask to stick down masks and used to offcut of the mask to position this on the model. This worked and was accurate to 1mm which is good for this.

I then used a heaver light grey and a blue grey for the main colour leaving the darker M using an airbrush.

On a side note. The full name for this building in infinity is “M3 Main Management Module” I think the M3 is the shorting of main management module I wanted 4 of these so took a liberty to remove the words and change the numbers and colours. Just so you don’t need to point this out 🙂

I removed this mask and then removed the dots with a ball of liquid mask. I then added more masks (one pictured) in the corner and the hazard stripers beside the ladders were done using white through my airbrush and then the masks removed in the same way.

I blacked out all non raised detail with a brush.

I painted the coloured components and the handles and grey fixings in a very light grey and attached them with superglue.

I also painted some BB’s white for the lights and glued with superglue.

The Acrylic was back sprayed black leaving the protective backing on instead of masking.

So there we have it. All done up and ready for the building elevations to be added.

Back to the drawing board for me now. I have a lot of work ahead of me and a few decisions to make.

This felt so much better than just sitting (re)drawing for a week. Feels good to break this up. More to come!
