After a short stint back to 40k, I realised I just cant stay away form the PA genre. With diceheads recent rulebook being posted I was inspired to build some terrain! Here is the first piece I started working on, just a little tent. I'm stuck on how to go about making a removable roof for it. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

bamboo skewer frame with some facial tissue soaked in super glue for the fabric. |

That's as far as I got (although unpainted) before I came across the same problem as you have. |

That looks Awesome! As for the roof, how about building a pyramid shape with cocktail skewers/etc, and the covering that with the glue-soaked tissue? As the skewers will be covered, it should be fairly easy to add extra reinforcement... failing that, how about a pyramind shaped wood block? Should be fairly light, so hopefully it won't crush the structure, but also pretty resistant? |

Awesome start. Not too sure on how to do the top. Make it as a frame that slots into the current uprights and rests on the cross peices. Then add the tissue latter (whilst it is off the tent). |

One or two of those three sided ones would both look sweet and be easy enough to do. |

That would look pretty nice with some junk for sale on rugs like old weapons and crates of supplies. |

Hmmmmm, the top with a slight overhang, the edges rolled up under, almost seamless, I like it!! |

Nice find Tinker. I guess you folks know of this tent? I can't find the GW link but if I can find the file I have the template for the Gorka Morka tent somewhere. Edited by Whiskyrat, Jun 10 2009, 11:55 PM.

I have the Hour of Wolves bookmarked, and for sometime, but I never have seen that tent... and it is a tent that is a work of art. But I don't see it lasting very long on the wastes unless in a fortified city area, or desert. You'll have to find the Gorka-Morka template, I'd like to see it. |

It looks like I'll have to find the tent template on my PC as the original GW web article has been removed. |

Haven't finished the tent, but I had some time last night and decided to try out a couple of wall styles to get some idea on what I want to build next. First: my attempt at copying the orange brick walls style in fallout 1 and 2 ![]() ![]() Second: I'm contemplating using this style for the inside of some sort of modular sewer or bunker tunnel system I want to build but probably never will. the back of this one was a test in making a cracked wall with wood supports behind it. ![]()
