Crawl out through the Fallout...
Toxic pool test
I decided to do a bit of scratch building and test out an idea I had to make some toxic swampy pools for my table. Because when you have all those rusty radioactive barrels, stuff leaks!
This is the Atom Spring from Fallout 4's Far Harbour DLC. Hopefully the final product looks vaguely like this.
I started with these balsa wood pieces I bought off eBay. They are roughly 6"x4" but I wanted to try a larger piece so glued two together and will build a ramshackle bridge over the join. The banks are being built up with offcuts, covered with air drying das clay and textured with trusty cork bits.
A bridge! Made with more balsa offcuts.
I remembered to glue one of the alien fungus plants onto the side then psinted. I used strong green colours for the water but this will be knocked back a lot by the swamp effect water I'm going to add.
This is with two fairly thin layers of AK Swamp effect water over it. I'm fairly happy with the look although my glowing fungus look has been lost in the opaque water effect. I had tried to lighten the underlying base colour but it hasn't come through. No matter still looks like it will do the job!
