Kitbashing and recycling packaging for sci-fi terrain
Holestead
This one is going to be a place where the owner produces “nutritious slime” as a crop. It’s listed as a Holestead in the Necromunda tables, so I’ve gone for a bunded surrounding wall built up at the site of the slime coming out from the ground. That will give me something to pour resin into at a future date after painting. The owner has then built his shelter / Processing setup right on top of the slime where he can protect it and sit out on the front porch and maybe give the slime a stir from time to time.
Machinists BlocksSomething I’ve found useful for getting items glued together are a pair of machinist’s blocks. They are nice and weighty, and of course come with good square sides. They help keep items together at right angles and you can get your hands free to do some glueing etc.
Really like the backstory and the construction to reflect that. Is the corrugated panels plastic or cardboard? Also, how long do you think this build took? Look forward to seeing the resin slime and the final paint job… ?
Yeah the corrugated sheeting is cardboard. Haven’t found anything in plastic with that same pronounced shape, but the cardboard works well for the 28mm scale.
This took quite a while but it was shorter bursts spread over a couple of weeks. I was puzzling over how to get the whole thing together as a complete piece but stumbled across some parts that I could use to create those walls around the pit and it finally came together.
