I love the smell of Prometheum in the morning
It's done. It's finished. The journey is over.
Here's the finished piece in all its glory. It's actually quite hard to see everything that's going on in just a single picture so I will also do some close ups.
As you can see from the photo, the top platform does look a little barren, however I think all really needs is a little scatter terrain; a few crates, some barrels, maybe the odd computer terminal. Although it's a terrain piece, in many ways it is a self contained board and like any battlefield, it's the scatter terrain that really brings it to life.
The people at Wargame Model Mods were kind enough to cut me an additional set of walkways as the original only comes with one set. I had to jury rig them to make them work as they're not really designed to fit between the upper platforms. I tested the weight bearing capability and they seen pretty sound, certainly enough to hold metal miniaures. The handle at the bottom is more an item of necessity. At some point, when I actually think of a way to do it, I will probably disguse them as something else. But for now they have to remain as it's the only way of safely moving the piece around (it actually weighs quite a bit and it's also really unwieldy so the handles are essential).
At the base of two of the legs we have these, I assumed that they were some kind of waste output system. So I got busy with the Green Slime. I'm really happy with the result, so much so I am actually considering making some pools of green slime that can be attached to the each corner.
While I am happy with the water effect, in hindsight I wish I had used a lighter shade of blue for the base and added more brown to the water. The last pour did have brown mixed with it but I don’t think it’s visible. Lesson learned for next time though and I certainly don’t think it spoils the piece.
And here it is combined with some of the Mantic Battle Zones scenery. I think it actually works really well with this, especially given that some of the battle zones stuff has a bit of height so the rig itself doesn’t look too out of place.
