A hive of scum and villainy!

With the paddling pool out to entertain the kids and the sun out to dry up the paint quick I sprinted through finishing off my sci-fi terrain. When I say sprint I mean everything was done as fast as possible in order to avoid taking my eyes off the waterborne wee ones. As I had mere minutes in between stopping fights or doing something for the wife I glued all the Fenris doors and Antenociti's windows and vents onto the MDF building carcasses (made from the left over parts from the stair towers that are in the pic as well. Once i'd built up a lovely layer of superglue on the tips of all my fingers I moved on to painting. Everything got a covering of matt black (god bless halfords!) to start.

Then they were randomly attacked with grey, red and brown to give a variety of tones.

Once this is all dried out comes a couple of pots of rust pigments. I love this stuff but by christ it gets all over your hands. Even years after applying it you'll find your hands going rusty when you pick the scenery up. I'm trying to get round this by applying cheap hair varnish all over the pieces. I'll need to find some nice cheap spray on fixative at some point.
And that's it really.
I need to add some detailing to the doors and I'm still waiting on my bits from Ramshackle (which I've left space for ) but once I have added some in scale posters, graffiti and signage we'll be good to go.

So proud was I of all my efforts that I set the board to see how it all fits together. In the back right you can see the building that is going to house 'The Rusty Blaster' when it gets finished, it'll add another floor to that building.

Here is a nice low shot showing the buildings round the sewage trench.

Fighting along the rooftops and walkways.

And more views.

I've also managed to finish building the contemporary buildings as well. There are 6 double fronted 2 storey buildings and 5 single fronted single storey buildings. Painting and detailing to come. The idea is that a mix of both sets of buildings would be ideal for something like Judge Dredd games.

Cheers for now!
