Just a quickie today. We’re completely into September’s models now, and so I’ve got a couple of pieces that I started several years ago, dug out (ok, found part-painted in a tub and decided to finish) for Dave Stone’s annual Season of Scenery challenge, didn’t get done in time, though now I’ve completed them and can get them the hell out of here and into the War Room. Hopefully I’ll get a whole bunch of other stuff I started/found done as well in the next few weeks and clear some space to start newer projects and models.
They’re pretty simple, small pieces, though they are actually pretty nice. They’d work well enough in any modern or post-apoc setting from Crisis Protocol to Zona Alfa. They are a little small, as noted – but they’re made to fit a certain sized space on a boardgame tile, so I certainly can’t complain there. They came in a pack filled with a whole bunch of 3D doors that open and close – the sort of thing that works well as a game aid but are completely uninteresting as things to paint. I used a little touch of the Dirty Down Rust effect on them here and there as well to try out – I’ll be going harder with it in some later pieces of terrain.
I’ll get August’s round-up done in a week or so. Busy, tired and need to do a bunch of cleaning up before I can get to clearing the desk once again.

I really love them. Where did you get them from?

Got them in the Zombicide Season 3 Kickstarter. I know that the “3D pack” that they came from hit retail so there would be some out there, but it does also have a bunch of doors that may or may not be useful to you as well…

They look really good! 🙂 I’m the sort of person that would be checking there’s nothing flammable in the jerricans or drums before I incorporated them into my barricade, probably with my back to the oncoming horde of zombies!

I’m sure they’re just full of sand, gravel and rubble. Nothing could possibly go wrong….

Excellent work mate, you’ve achieved a really dirty run down look to the whole piece, which isn’t easy with all the different types of materials in there.

Cheers Dave! Glad to have it done and glad it turned out pretty decent as well!

Sweet! I never thought I’d be complimenting anyone on how good their piles of mattresses look, but I guess that this is how things have turned out.

Thanks mate! You should see the pile of mattresses and oil drums I’ve got out front of my house – gotta stop those zombies somehow! 😉

These came out really well, mate, and I like the design of these barriers. It really looks like they just grabbed whatever they could and improvised which fits the post-apocalypse perfectly. This is getting me inspired to get back to making Fallout terrain which is motivation I can always use more of too! 🙂

Thanks mate – they’re effective little pieces really with some nice detail. They could easily fit into Fallout for sure!

Those mattresses are pretty awesome, though I wouldn’t want to sleep on them! Nice painting on them, they look pretty damned real.
Did I miss a post where you mentioned this “rust effect”? It’s looking pretty good!

Thank you! These were my first use of the Dirty Down Rust effects, though obviously in a really limited manner – once I get onto something involving a lot more aged/ruined metal I’ll make it a more proper post about the stuff as I did with the moss on those log walkways.

This stuff.

It’s now on pre-order in a few places here in AU, so I expect that MSDS-willing, it’ll be tricking into places in the US soon. I just got mine via mail order from the UK.
