6mmwargaming
ParticipantI’ve been working on some more terrain for my moderns. I started these buildings maybe 2-3 years ago but never got past the detailing stage. Its a Gamecraft building which I added extra details to and I also made it thicker (it looked too narrow IMHO). The back is etched acrylic and is nice but the details do not show up very well in the photos.
Building 1
Building 2
Extra pieces of foamboard to make the building wider
Comments etc welcome

ParticipantThe finished buildings
These are based these up to represent a school yard but they could be anything. I went with modular bases to give me some flexibility to add or remove different bases. I tried to lift my painting and airbrushed the base colour and highlights. Also I spent a lot of time on the windows and they have come out very well. Overall I am very happy with the results. Remember these are 6mm scale 😀
The main buildings are Gamecraft, the shed is Leven miniatures and the walls are from CNC. The base is plasticard with painters masking tape stuck one and it creates a nice concrete effect.

Moderatorvery nice, as I expect from you.
Crumbs, yes, I see why you added the foam card, the drain pipes are excellent!12/06/2016 at 00:54 #43239Angel Barracks
ModeratorI see also how the original windows are done, not sure I would have gone to that much effort.
Painted black base and picked out the panes being careful not to get paint in the black recess?12/06/2016 at 06:11 #432456mmwargaming
ParticipantCheers. The windows are very well cast and ok to pick out. I painted each pane and then highlighted it and then went over it with a 0.3mm black pen between the window panes, and then more highlighting.

ParticipantFantastic work, as always – I particularly like Groundskeeper Willie’s shed! – although don’t you need some bike sheds as well for the kids to misbehave behind?

ParticipantThanks for the comments
I’m all inspired and have started on these two new/refurbished bases
Radio Transmitter
This is a Gamecraft mast with a Leven building as the Generator/Transmitter building. The base is plastic with masking tape on top followed by caulk patches. I added the fence with is made from brass etch but it is a tricky to mount and not bend!I also added a bit to the top of the mast form some brass tube. I going to add something to the base for the mast to slot into (the mast will be removable).
Garage
I decided to convert this building as I can’t say I have ever been happy with the basing. So I made a new base and a shed for Timecast (I think) and some debris and junk on the base. Also there is a couple of H&R new barrels and the large drum on the brick base are from Timecast. This base is deigned to be a filler between two larger bases so I only used a little piece of fence for it.
More soon hopefully!

Moderatorooooh I will get me one of those masts I think, looks aces.

ParticipantYes the mast is very nice. A bit fragile being card and i think you could reinforce it with wire inside.

ParticipantHi all
I’ve finished these new industrial terrain pieces and them on my website. There is the School, Radio tower, and reconditioned a Garage and Trucking yard.

ParticipantThose look great.
With modular bases, you can easily add different details to suggest different features as well: parking lot lines, school yard marking (four square or basketball), etc.
I haven’t gotten any of the Gamecraft 6mm buildings (I’m on a 15mm kick at the moment). Allen’s a great guy, so it’s nice to see people posting them.
