A new utility building for the areas beyond the cities on Grimwas.

Not sure if this is a gang tag or an insult!

The power box is a old Void Plastic Junkers backpack

The pretty graffiti is from a kids stick on Tattoo pack ala Inky! Thanks for the tip Inky!

The whole thing stated as a cotton bud box (Q-tip to some) and the card bottom half got a load of filler. The door is made from cereal card. The plastic top I wanted to be a metal top to the building. The mix of plastic tube and old bases makes up the gubbins on the top. The hatch is from Ramshackle. Fancy artwork was supplied from kids stick on tattoos.

Time for another Sci-Fi building or two. A bit more low tech sci-fi this time. These are more likely to be found out in the rural parts or frontier worlds...which means I can use them for Post Apoc too.

First up - Marcus Guns n Ammo.

Inspired by Marcus Kincaid, the Guns and Ammo trader in the Borderlands computer games....

The building started life as a polystyrene packing piece for a clock radio. I made up the sign and the logos are corporate logos from the Borderlands game I downloaded. The "Tinker Co" one was scratch made using the fonts in the Comic Life software.

The door is plastic card (recycled Itunes voucher), matchsticks, and cerial packet card. The panel is a modified toy radio from a toy set. I was trying an experiment with the windows. I am thinking of doing all my sci-fi buildings like this. What's the general opinion of them?

Posted Image
Side view - there was a great injection recess in the wall so I added a bottle cap for that air vent look. The wanted posters are from Borderlands and the Nuka Cola I found in Dentatus' Stalker Oblivion ruleset. There is also a Hobgoblin Ale poster too.

The rear.

Posted Image
Other side. The Air vent was built from scraps in my bits box.

Posted Image
Top view. One think I like about this bit of packing is it gives a great platform on the roof for shooting bad guys.

The flooring is granny grating. There is a drinking straw pipe going to that bottle cap AC unit/vent. The hatch is made from cereal packet card, a match stick and a Q-tip/Cottonbud stem.

Posted Image
Another Top view.

The next one.....

A prefabricated shack or tool shed.

Posted Image
A simple build. Cork floor tile with cereal card windows and door. The roof is good old corrugated cardboard.

Thanks for the comments.

I also felt that I had to get away from the usual grey or white everyone paints Sci-Fi terrain these days. Of course the colour also influenced the C.O.U.B slogan. :D I must go rooting in the bits box for my next project. :D
