Just as the Subject says, today was spent finishing up a bunch more of the terrain scatter. I've now finished painting all the Lv427 Designs cargo piles I had, as well as painted up Combatzone Scenery's Hanley's Hope Lab set.
While designed for Aliens, Face Huggers are a fan favorite for alien bug types. The set has the iconic lab specimen containters.
Should you be inspired to purchase this set for yourselves, learn fom my errors. I didn't have any 2 part resin, so opted to use scenic water to fill my vats. I started by filling the bottom with Elmer's clear glue. The idea being that this would dry & seal the base area.
However in my excitement to work on these, I didn't wait long enough & began pouring the scenic water into the vats...you can guess the results. So take 2....used the Elmer clear glue & ALLOWED it to dry before pouring the scenic water. Then added the specimen. Let them sit for a couple days & finally placed the lids on them.
As well there are 3 lab tables with microsopes & coffee mugs! One has a facehugger specimen that was likely being inspected before the gestation period ended & the exomorphs burst forth.
There also ended up being 2 extra face huggers, which may find their way onto a base of their own.
A very nice set to be sure!
As mentioned I also completed the remaining Lv427 cargo piles.
Lastly I had this remaining Data Objective that was painted, but somehow kept getting overlooked, so here it is.
I just found a box of scatter terrain from Mantic's Deadzone (original kickstarter stuff) that I am now cleaning & prepping for painting.
Love those tanks with the face huggers in! Very cinematic!
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon, as soon as I saw this set, I knew I had to get it! They print them in batches so it was a bit challenging until I worked with them & prepaid, as it seemed they were always out of stock of a print run by the time I had climbed out of bed.
DeleteWow ! What a busy chap you;ve been. The sample contaners are superb, with just the right amount of internal detail showing off the critters/samples. The desks , whilst maybe not he bs=est, do look the part as does the additonal piles of cargo.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea, of course, what the objective is meant to be, but it does look good !
Thanks Joe, the Comabatzone Hadley's Hope was a nice set, which they 3d print & sell as sets. Perfect for those playing Aliens. Being Sci-fi opens up many opportunities to use them in games.
DeleteThe tanks look excellent sir! Like the desks too, always like that type simple but needed (for a more realistic setup I feel) scenic aspects for skirmish gaming that a lot of people don’t put effort into.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dai, I see lots of potential for these types of details. Stargrave will certainly inspire some creative scenario making!
