Well i've encountered another problem... I brought 2 cans of primer for this project... both came out of the same case... both grey with same colour code... both different colours.... bugger... ones a couple shades darker then the other...

And just to add insult to injury... I ran out of primer and the stores are closed... will have to wait until tomorrow now :(

Well my foamcore didn't arrive saturday morning like it was supposed to... that sucks... still I got some more primer, had to get a different brand this time (other was sold out) this one is a tone in between the other 2 so it doesn't completly stand out...

Just been making interior terrain features today, got the store room and rec room finished, the main lan and holding cell nearly finished, started on the utilities room and directors office... not much left for me to actually do until I get the foam core now... well except I need to design a few of my own templates since the worldworks doesn't cover everything im looking for... still its not a major problem... I'll work on it tomorrow, and if they are any good, i'll post them up here for people to filch as they require.

Heh.. its really not that hard to make a set mate, its actually a lot easier than I was expecting...

Once I get my next shipment of foamcore in i'll do a step by step on how to build rooms and tunnels if you like, but its really not complicated at all.

Anyhew, update on those templates im working on... I have a nice template for a metal framed bunk (easy to make into bunk besd, all you need to add is some corner supports and a ladder, which I may do later) my next item on the list is believe it or not... a toilet...

*Sigh* A toilet... of all the things... still the devil is in the details as they say... I know Worldworks do both beds and a toilet... but to be perfectly honest, the beds look a little too old fashioned for what im looking for and the toilets are a little too square...

If anyone can think of anything else that I should make a template for, give me a shout.

Looking good Mal.

I am now thinking about some character rooms. I always fancied making the first room of the first lab complex you explore in the Dark Valley in the Stalker game. It has a check point room window like yours (consider the idea stolen!).

I got the Copplestone Medical Examination room, science lab and Hi-tech research lab set. All seem nicely cast. I look forward to painting them up.

Lol, well the devil is in the details as they say... and you can't really have an enclosed self sustaining habitat without a bog or two...

Anyhew, heres some overdue pics.

The vault so far (I have since sprayed all completed rooms, and got furniture in most of the rooms, will get some more upto daye pics in a little while).

The bed and toilet... and a mini for scale (28mm eM4 mini).

The templates (just open your page settings and remove the margins to ensure they fit on a single page, then print as required, feel free to use/distrubute as you please... if you feel generous then credits would be nice).

Toilets

Nice one! They look good. Your vault complex is looking good too. What did you seal the foam board with?

I sealed it up with PVA then a heavy coat of car primer... its rock solid now.

My vault is almost done... all i've got left to do is put walls on the 2 dorms in lv2, built the aquaduct and extgerior entrance, add about 4 dozen doors, build a few bits more furniture, and add a holding tank in the main lab and a few interior walls in some of the rooms.

After that it'll be ready for a game.

Oooh looking good (as usual) my only comment is that I wouldn't want to do it as I'd end up getting really immersed in the bunk beds alone and make them out of wire and solder them together like some kind of scale nut-job :p oh and make the mattress' out of clay.. (yes I am mad) but I do have the clay and I still need to make some mattress' for my games..(damn another thing on the bottomless list)

Well the whole point of these kfc is that they provide me something to use while I save up my pennies to buy resin casts...

This way, for the price of a couple sheets of paper I have something to game with in the mean time.

Just 'cause they got 'em don't mean they flush, or mean the user's can hit the target :)

Mal, thanks for the printys!

Np Tink, I was going to add some basic graphics to the bog like I did for the bed, but to be honest, its just too much of a pain to cut a 4 sided image onto a 7 sided surface without some advanced photoshopping utilities... which paint doesn't have some some reason... hmm can't rely on microsoft to rip off anything useful these days...

Still if anyone has any requests, I don't mind making a couple more frameworks and templates (infact I have 29 days left on my trial, and im not buying the program, so if you want anything, get your requests in early please).

Offence?? Nope no offence caused at all. (You don't need to worry about that with me, even if you were trying to offend me, you wouldn't be able to.)

I used to have gimp (on an old linux pc) but I never could get on with it...

Right, got my foamcore in today (finally) and i've just finished getting the walls on the lab dorms for the 2nd lv, currently working on the rocky entrance (exterior) and after that i'll just have the aquaduct to build... then its just a case of working on the interior... which is already about 60% complete.
