Hi all
I’ve started a new project to build enough 28mm scifi scenery for a densely populated 4×4 table. I have been collecting household junk, various 40K and other model bitz, 3D printed parts as well as some scifi pieces from a Dungeons and Lasers kickstarter. There’s no real plan apart from meeting some of the Stargrave and Planet 28 scenario requirements.
To start I begun with some generic scifi scatter pieces which I completed a while ago but I’ll start with the WIP pictures.
The building on the left was made with a couple of kinder eggs, lots of random bits and the base is PVC foam, the middle building is made from some plumbing pipe with a 3D printed vent on top and door. the bigger building si made from a christmas decoration ball, pvc foam supports and acables from green stuff and recycled 3D printer fans.
The green cables are made using a “Green stuff tentacle/cable roller” which I 3d printed and its the first time I tried it out. I’m very pleased with the results and I will covering all my building in cables from now on.

Brillliat stuff as to be expected!

LOLOL
Thanks everyone
Here the next couple of pieces, I’m not really sure what they are, perhaps a small power generator and a cooling unit.
They are mostly made from XPS foam with Dungeons and Laser parts, and some sprues. I also used some worn out 3D printer bearings!

The first two buildings are finished. After messing up the numbers a few times I’m calling them done and ignoring a few remaining mistakes on the painting. I went for a pretty basic colour schemes partly because I didn’t have many colours for my airbrush. The numbers were done with a 3d stencil I printed out.
I think I will try a different font as these aren’t very scifi, but otherwise I’m very pleased with the results.

I’m very pleased with how these came out.

Neuropol FTW!!
Here’s the next few pieces of scenery which were pretty quick to make.
3D printed wheels with a Dungeons and lasers crate. The middle piece is another Dungeons and Lasers piece and the $2 shop christmas baublescame in very handy as domes.
The larger industrial piece is useful as table filler and has the obligatory computer fan and lots of cables. also more D and L parts, 3D printed parts and the mesh panels are from a Conflix Cyberclicks set. I like this piece and the simplicity design of it and it was heavily inspired by some of the 40k scenery here http://miniatureextravaganza.blogspot.com/

Yes they are pretty thin. I saw a good video on how to avoid this by wrapping it around a piece of wire (I used copper).
…Obvious now you mention it but that would never have crossed my mind despite using wire for plain cables!! Thanks for sharing that
All the scatter terrain finished!
I’ve started on some habitats and hopefully I’ll post them next

Next up are some high tech habitats. I’m also planning some shanty style buildings so I wanted these to look a bit cleaner and better quality living!
The main plastic shape for the house is recycled from a 1/72nd diecast model tank, which I glued a bunch of bits on. The cables are made from green stuff along with pieces of electrical wire, and the doors and shutters are 3D printed. The lights and security cameras are from the Dungeons and Lasers range and are pretty cool.
Also I finished a Garage/workshop. I think the main shape was from the packaging for some headphones. As per the other building, I glued some mostly 3D printed parts on as well as other Christmas decoration ball. The white pieces strips are made from PVC foam.
Thanks for looking

The first two buildings are finished and I’m starting on a third. I found a much better scifi font stencil and it has come out really well. I’m really pleased with the building colours as they are pretty bright but washed out.
Most of the painting was done with an airbrush first and then the details were painted. I went over it with a thin brown airbrush coat to blend the pieces together where the greebles joined the blue/green base colours, and to add some dirt to the bottom of the buildings.
Sorry for the picture quality as the lighting was pretty poor

Here is the next build – I’m calling it a shop (of sorts). The brown sign at the front is magnetised and can be swapped out. I haven’t figured out what to do with the sign yet.

Why not a robot repair shop?
That’s a great idea! I have lots of left over pieces so i was thinking about some junk piles.

That looks great! Top work.
Thanks
I’ve moved on to walls now to keep the population in, or the wildlife out!
These were constructed using 3 and 6mm forex, along with Mantic bases and some wooden dowel. I had lots of Mantic spare bases and I really like the look when they are all glued down. Also they have lots of lights so nothing shady goes on next to the walls.
Also I created two terminals, which are made from a Dungeons and laser piece, which sits on top of some random figure bases.
