Raindog Posted August 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 @Andozane, I love your Squats! Did you pint them? How are you disappointed? I am hobbying with Brehk tonight. I will finish the basing tonight with some sand and grit. Tomorrow, they will be primered. I will be working on terrain all weekend. Cheers, RD PS. I went to Mindtaker today and saw @Exile and @Sgt. Rock. With great glee, I dove into the bits box and bought bits by the ounce for kit-bashing Necromunda terrain. @RobynMMI was awestruck how cool the store is with both new and old products. It is a clean, well-light place, with good people, and plenty of room for games. I know our metro area is blessed with great games stores, but Mindtaker is another great one. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not disappointed, it was a joke good sir 🙂 Kind of a play....meaning, i see Squats as the thread, but its the new squats 🙂 Some of those Squats are recasts by someone we both know, before he moved onto his world of 3D printing 🙂 But others are originals. The ogryn are all originals... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Update: Okay, The red pvc pipes have been painted silver. Then, I added rust and several washed of different colors from green to orange to brown to black. I used stencils to sponge on numbers. I filled in any gaps with a brush and then added a lighter color for a highlight color. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raindog Posted August 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Magnets are glued to the bottom of the models. Sand has been added to the base. Models drying after first primering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 After going to the gym, I applied the second spray coat to the Ironhead Prospectors. I had to stop at Ace Hardware for two more rattle can of Rust-Oleum Black Spray paint primer. I use the semi-gloss. It is the best for the price, but it can be tacky until it is completely dry. Days like today, when it 89 degrees really helps. Oh, by the way, if Games Workshop, or any other company selling products wants to send me free products to try and review, I would never object.🤣 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raindog Posted August 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 Two gantries re-enforced with bits and an ammo crate made from tooth floss container. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 I always think the key to primering in the summer months is to give a short set of sprays from an angle, let the heat dry the model, and then change the angle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 Oh, as I am going with shout outs, the gantries were built built from biz in the giant and mighty bitz by the ounce at Mindaker. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Okay Gents, I made four more gantries from bits smashed up from GW and Mantic kits. I spent a few hours painting up the GW kit-bashed one and the two of the mixed ones: adding layers of rust. The MDF` walls are washed and I added a stenciled number in blues to most. I will take a few pictures tomorrow. I added washes and stenciled numbers on the pipes. They are spray sealed and ready for play, but could use a poster of two, if I get that far.

Raindog Posted August 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Yes, it is a crappy cell phone photo, but you can see the MDF fencing mucked up and rusted out with stenciled numbers on them. The fencing were for Infinity, but I thought I would repurpose them. You can see the gantry to the top is Mantic aka Terrain Crate with bits of 40K barricades from the 3rd Box. I have had the barricades for 22+ years, it is time to start using them again. The Line is super useful as a template. The just need to be modified for the type of game you are playing (40K / Infinity, etc) The pipe is PVC pipe Gorrilla Glued together. The center gantry is scratch built from different types of card. The green loot case is Mantic, mucked up and marked with a stencil. I will have more painted up tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 I finished constructing two more gantries today. Then, I spray primed them with the Rust-Oleum along with the Grox Shop. After the gantries dried, I painted them, added rust effects, and them added layers of wash. They are ready to play. I will take photos tomorrow when we have proper light.

Raindog Posted August 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 I took these pix after spraying of the first layer of clear coat. Small MDF walls. Gantries. The center gantry is made from the bits at Mindtaker. The plastic card made gantry where old blood meets older rust...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 The other gantry made from bitz by the ounce at Mindtaker. A distressed Mantic Gantry with added GW bitz. Can you spot them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 First spray on the Grox shop. First spray on the previously photographed gantries. Yes. I painted them to completion in one day. Thank you for looking. I will have more updates, but as I start the work week, with Rose-City, and football approaching, my painting and hobby will slow. And as if always, if you have bits to donate or if you are a gaming company and want to sent me product to test, I would happily accept them.

Raindog Posted August 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 On Sunday, I started pushing around piles on my basement gaming table trying to wrangle a the mess while looking for more GW 40 bizs I have tucked away. Instead of the bitz, I found a few hab units a friend printed out for me a few years ago. They were intended to be used as Infinity Terrain, but they were a bit ramshackle for the sleek future of Corvus Bell. So after primering them red to match some of my of my other Infinity terrain, they have sat in a box. The hab units are basically Conex container with doors, windows, and few other treatments to make them seem like they belong on a seedy space station on for ready-made housing for colonists. I chipped up the habs to make them seem worse for the wear, and added more GW bits to create a proper feel for Necromunda. I re-primed them and will paint them using techniques from the videos I linked a few posts up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninefinger Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Not sure how I missed this, but looks like you got some answers sorted out. I can always loan out books, etc, and am happy to chat about rules basics anytime. Everything is looking good! Hope to see more of it before long. I'll try and remember to grab a photo of my sundry space dwarves when I'm home sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
