Terrainfest 2024: Any table can be a sci fi table
The mechanical bits
Work is proceeding on the Death Ray Designs MDF kits — I’ve got the Cargo Pods and the Tesla spikes done.
The Cargo Pods came out well, in spite of my repeated attempts at self-sabotage. Not only did I stubbornly refuse to wait for better weather to spray prime (instead doing two coats of brush on primer), but I also decided they really needed to be done in yellow, one of the most difficult colors to work with. I got there in the end though, after two coats of primer, a base coat of dark brown, and four layers of drybrushing up from mustard yellow to bright yellow to yellowed bone for some final highlights.
The Tesla Spikes went much more easily. I decided not to get too creative with these, using more-or-less the colors depicted on the manufacturer’s packaging. They were all done with layers of drybrushing over black primer and a base coat of grey and blue.
I’m still waiting on replacement rods for the Generator kit — tracking says they’re supposed to arrive early next week, so I’m hoping I can finish up at least one of the generators soon.
