Today we have my final pieces completed for September and Dave Stone’s Season of Scenery ’25 – Extended Edition. l found this model on Thingiverse some time ago, while looking for models that would be broadly “Zombicide Compatable” and found this rather spiffy LPG (or Propane) Tank which I decided to print in a variety of scales. I shrunk a few down to essentially 15mm scale for use in Team Yankee (but they’ll also work decently for Legions Imperialis/Adeptus Titanicus/Battletech), one now quite as small for Gaslands (though the smaller ones would still work), one extended/stretched slightly for the long-and-low ones you see here and there, especially at Servos (Gas Stations) and one great big bloody huge one for the 40mm “overscaled” Marvel Crisis Protocol.

Ultimately, these things come in all sizes in real life, so while there’s a reasonable limit on which ones can be used for the smallest scale games like nu-Epic40k and Battletech and then 15mm Team Yankee, even the smallest of these work for 25-40mm scale games just as well – simply as smaller tanks like the ones you might see at a servo (or gas station). -Sorry, forgot to take a pic of the smallest ones with a normal-scaled miniature!

This next one with the yellow signage isn’t a lot bigger than the six smaller ones – I actually sized it for Gaslands as I noted above, though I still haven’t gotten my Gaslands cars any further than having 3D printed some guns for the little box of Matchbox/Hot Wheels cars we picked up over time. Anyway, as you can see, it still fits in pretty fine with most scales.

Now we have a larger one again. This one is upsized a little more and also stretched to make it a bit of a proportionally longer tank. This is the sort of thing you can easily play around and experiment with when you have access to a printer. As you can see, it turned out fine. It’s also pretty much getting to the limit that works for these smaller scale models for this design. It also works perfectly with 28-32-40mm models.

And to round them all out, this big bastard which is about as large as you really want to use even for standard sized models while being the sort of thing you could reasonably/comfortably have on a table. These were all painted by spraying with filler primer, and then an irresponsibly thick coat of Appliance White Gloss spray paint, which I (months later) added the weathering and custom-printed decals – getting around to making those and just deciding to ignore the recessed detail in the middle was the biggest time hurdle!

In a couple of days I’ll have my September Round-Up posted, featuring all of this stuff I managed to finish in that month. Interestingly, every single piece I finished in September was terrain and fit into Dave’s challenge. Hopefully I’ll get through October’s model posts much more quickly!

The second of my two centrepiece “Mechanicum” prints from Fabricator’s Lair! Like the Promethium Reprocessing Factory from my last post, the Forge here can be found both in the Epic Scale Industrial Buildings set, or in the (recommended) Epic Sector: Industry campaign bundle.

This one is another huge slab of a building – even moreso than the previous one if that’s possible. On one side it once again features a series of pipes of a size that would not look out of place in a 40k game, and on the other a long row of pretty “grimdark” looking smokestacks – which I’ve just realised I forgot to grunge up with soot stains on their tops.

Once again, the paintwork followed the same structure and methods as the previous ones in this style, though I’d started to have some issues with the paint markers (I may have used all of the paint in a couple of them?) and bought a regular silver Sharpie which actually worked brilliantly under the circumstances.

As you can see with our scale shot featuring the usual Epic-Scaled subjects, it’s a pretty chonky structure!

And then over here with the 32-40mm boys – I think this one will once again fit into a Crisis Protocol or 40k table very easily.

Predictably, this model is another counting towards Dave Stone’s Season of Scenery ’25 – Extended Edition. Only two more bits of terrain left now..
