Admittedly, I haven’t been sure what to call this post, as in most ways it’s simply more Thermic Plasma Conduits, or a variation on them at most. I’ve simply assembled the “control panel” pieces using “mirror”-parts rather than the “opposite” side, thought he kits are obviously designed to fit together any way you like. I’ve also used some offcuts from the damaged conduits I created recently, as well as a spare pipe/fan piece from the other kits.
Still, it makes for an interesting enough little variation on the theme, and can be used as a transitional piece to the pipes/conduits I’ll be painting up in a similar cream/white scheme later on. I’m happy with it as it’s diffferent enough to be interesting but still low-key enough to not overwhelm models on the tabletop.
Nice bit of scenery- great for 40k.

Thanks Pete! I’ll get an industrial table set up for some shots soon(ish). I’ve got a few more decent pieces to finish before I get to that, though!

Great addition, love the way your giving identity to individual pieces but with keeping the overall feel to be used all together

Cheers Dave – hopefully it’ll work well as a transition piece when I get the pale pipes painted up. 🙂

Oooh, really like that! 🙂 Without a figure for comparison, I’m assuming it’s a reasonable size?

Yeah, it fits in with the pipes in this post so it’s decent, though not huge.

This looks great and I like the contrast between the dirty metals and the cream colored parts. Did you use some crackle paint on those parts? The effect is really nice and makes it look good and damaged which is perfect for 40k.

I painted it metal im much the usual way, then painted it with PVA – which makes the crackle medium/paint… crackle more. Then I mixed some crackle medium with the paint and paid it down. I should do a little tutorial on this stuff sometime. Maybe a Death Guard Rhino so it’s got a lot of flat surface to see what’s happening…

It is an excellent technique for Nurgle or really Warhammer 40k in general. Everything should be old and worn out in that universe to some extent. I think writing up a guide would be great when you have the time 🙂
