Tile 9 - Bridge - WIP pt2

Glued down all the pipes and the actual bridge. Cut out some paper shapes to give me an idea how it'll connect to the two sides. I plan to use some thinker card for structure and rigidity. Once thats all sorted I'll build the side rails to the bridge. The cogs arent currently glued but I like the idea of building the side rails around them.

Tile 3 - Storage tank - WIP

Added a lot of detail to the ground for this tile, including a grid system and a chemical spill. Also reinforced the open corner for the sewage level and glued down the generator.

Tile 3 - Generator

Built a small generator as a bit of cover terrain for the Storage tank tile. Just a couple of baby food lids, a battery, some wires, some cork and a few mdf widgets. Pretty happy with this for something that I just threw together in an afternoon.

Tile 3 - Storage tank - WIP

Iv done a bit more work on Tile 3. Although difficult to see in the pictures I have laid down some plasterers tape on the ground to give it a grid base. Iv also added the rivets to all the pipes and sunk them in the ground. Iv moved the ladder closer to the storage tank to give more room to move models around on the ground.

As a concept there is now a control panel console which will give a bit more cover next to the pipe bridge. I will work this up on a separate base and then attach this back later, when I start to glue it all down. Im happy with this as it makes the tile feel a bit less sparse.

Layout tests

I wanted to get a good idea of how this project is going so I did a quick test with various layouts using the first 6 tiles. Seems to be a decent amount of variety. Will prob look a lot nicer once everything is painted.

Tile 7 - Pumping Station - Concept update

The previous concept version was a little too busy with minimal room to actually place the models so Iv striped it back a bit with improved pipework.

Tile 1 - Concept change

My toddler broke my wifes' old skull shaped moneybox which is bonus for me cos now its part of my terrain junk collection. So, the Tile 1 factory is out and the skull processing plant is in. It'll sit in a vat of goo with lots and lots of pipes.
