Hose Adapter Pylon Terrain Tutorial
The finished product!
Months ago I bought this adapter for connecting a hose to a pool filter, unfortunately the size was incorrect. It splits into two pieces so I had some options on how to configure the final layout. The pieces were then assembled with hot glue. Narratively this design could differ from the Paint Pot version to support different atmosphere needs or the next generation of probes.
This assembly started with plenty of details, so I did not feel the need for explicit paneling as I created on the Paint Pot Pylon. In their place I've attached some acrylic scraps from a friend's laser cutter and some bits.
The paint scheme used here closely follows the process used in the Paint Pot Pylon tutorial as I continued the mass manufactured aesthetic.
- Matte Black Primer
- Vallejo Silver from above
- Cool Colored Inks from below
- A light dusting of white paint from so the panels might appear coated (think white paint on the Nasa Shuttle Craft)
- Some warm tones near the open thruster at the top (bit of an experiment, I would leave it off in my next attempt)
For basing I used Citadel’s Mordant earth, repainted in layers of white and blue to blend in with my Frostgrave mat from Deep Cut Studios.
Thanks for reading,
