So here is the latest Sci-Fi odds n ends.

You know I couldnt decide what to do with the one without a top. I decided it would become a Communications tower...

It is huge!! Lay it on its side and it could be a space ship or a ships engine! :D

The arrays are the bottoms of Clix bases. The wiring comes from my old PC when I pulled it apart.

I also made these up.

I am thinking some sort of Sci-Fi street lamps. Other ideas for these are a Microwave fence, movement sensor, Radar scanners or possible some sort of power generating orb.

Oh man, oh man :drool: , you are a creative genius oh Warlord :jaw: . Who needs (insert famous company here) made terrain, apparently not you!!! Great stuff, and best of all, it's recycled so you do your bit for the environment :D .

Just a query: how do you get the darn plastic to stick together? Hot glue gun?

Great idea Tinker! :lol: Best keep the cats away as they like ping pong balls! :D

Legionnaire I use good old fashioned super glue. Give the surfaces a key with some fine sand paper and you are good to go. I have only used hot glue once when the bowls wouldn't stick to the plastic tub!

Aha, EUREKA! I got lots and lots of plastic pots saved up, but I couldn't figure out how to get them to stick. Sandpaper...mmmm.

Definitely clean them tubs! Just like plastic miniatures they're cover in a mold release. I, too, rough those types of tubs to ensure a better hold... I even rough up metal miniatures to help when not pinning, and washers when mounting miniatures!

Righteo more WIPs...I am working on building a Post Apoc City. The idea is for lots of compounds each gang/clan/families lives in. As time goes on this will allow me to build some character terrain suited to various gangs in Liberty City. At some point I am going to have to make lots of fences and walls to split up compounds and to make a street setting.

This was a desk tidy the wife was throwing out. I salvaged it and it is shaping up nicely. It needs a bit more detail.

This is typical of buildings in the city. A watch tower is built into it so a lookout can keep a eye on the place. It needs more detail too.

As always any questions and CC is gratefully accepted.

Wonderful work as always MBG!

Those power orb towers remind me of the proton fence towers from Old World Blues, where they knock you out if you pass by them and go too far out of the map.

Any chances we're gonna see a finished fortress wall as well anytime soon? :P

My mojo is back and I am going at it great guns here.... brace yourselves!! :D

One thing I have been wanting to do for a while is a junk board - that Borderlands game it to blame. Its all its fault, honest!! :D I do have the scrap wastes on MBW so this lot will fit there nicely.

Posted Image

This is a Andorids play set thing...I guess some textured paint and a repaint will make a funky building for the scrap wastes.

Posted Image

More junk stuff to follow as I empty out my bits boxes! :lol:

Inspired by Megacity1/2000AD/Judge Dredd I started on some terrain for that....here is the start of a smaller block.

Thats a 28mm figure!!

I discovered loads of funky foam sheets in the store room...so I started trimming them to make roads for my MegaCity...

Keep watching folks.....
