Narcissus' terrain

Ace looking terrain Narcissus. I'd love to see all the pieces you have set out on a board to see how it all fits together. The modular canals and walkways are excellent (any joy with finding those bulkheads?).

I've got some WWGames terraclips terrain coming my way for Christmas (so I'm just cheating!).

Laney:D

Thanks Laney. I actually just had it set up the other day but didn't take any pictures of the full set up. I have enough painted terrain to cover a table fairly well. I will still need a few more to have a complete board set up with the density of terrain that is really good for DS.

Beautyfull terrain as usual! Wish I had your creativity with terrain.

Thanks mudboy. I really enjoy planning terrain and how it can all fit together. I just hate storing it...

Here is a storage container I quickly painted today. I mostly airbrushed and sponged it. I have another 11 of these in progress and have taken some pictures to write a tutorial once they are finished.







Any requests or suggestions for company labels for the sides? I'm going to try and make an aquila template. Beyond that I am open to suggestions!

Weyland Yutani Corp! And a Firefly Alliance would be cool

Do you make the containers yourself?

The container is awesome!
Is it from cardboard?
I'd do some different colors like red, green and yellow. Make up some bogus (shipping) companies like "Mars Exports Co", "Mechanicus Inc"and ofcourse "ACME".

Mudboy-Where are those names from?

The containers are scratch built from cardboard. I will post a tutorial in the next few weeks as I finish the other containers.

Gatlag-I am planning to do some more colours. Light grey, orange, army green, and maybe red are my plans. I think they will add some needed colour to my scenery. ACME is a great idea. I will have to do that.

Here is a quick 2 pictures showing how I did the writing. I cut a small stencil out of some tape and sprayed white over it.

Weyland Yutani Corp is from Alien(s)

Alliance is from the old Firefly show http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303461/

How heavy are they? I could be nervous if they are too light - I have very clumsy fingers...

I like the look of it, and I'm pretty sure there will be a container park in the near future in my terrain-package.

Thanks mudboy. I will see what I can do.

Komfritten-I was worried about that too. They are very light. To remedy this I have attached strip magnets on them so they can be connected, to somewhat alleviate this issue. It is a problem with terrain though. I need a magnetic board now or something.

I have four more in the basecoat stage of painting. Maybe I will get them done today and post them up.

I wrote a tutorial on how to build these on my blog: Rust and the city. I will add it to the tutorials here when I get a chance.

I did an experiment to try airbrushing graffiti onto my containers. I am going to post a short tutorial on how to do this tomorrow on my blog.





Thoughts on the graffiti?

Ha ha

Awesome!

YES!!!

Sweet, very cool!

Very cool indeed! I'd only weather it down a bit because now it really stands out.

The tutorial looks awesome and these are looking really great! I think that i'll try to find some of the open faced corrugated cardboard at some craft/art stores here.

Keep up the good work. I'm starting to think that 'trip to vancouver so i can see narcissus' toys' is climbing to the top of my christmas list.

-rhuntar

Like it - some more would be pretty cool!

Wicked!!! Graffiti in a super small scale. WOW!!!!!

Thanks everyone. Gatlag, I decided to weather it down on a few of the new ones.

I finished another four shipping crates. Only 9 more to detail and paint... I should have maybe not made quite so many of them... These four are now done though. I am going to put a tutorial up on my blog tomorrow with a step by step guide to how to paint them.











Here you can see how they all fit into a box.

Awesome! Please post the tutorial on how to make them.

Great work! You are talented.

Thanks DaBank. I've posted some tutorials on my blog. I will try to cross post them here when I get the chance. Here are the links:

Excellent 'instant' stackable terrain - good job Narcissus!

Laney:D

Meh @ the forum new post notification service!

Great to see so many of them!!
The weathered grafitti looks way better!
Great work!

Sweet Baby Emperor!!! I forgot how cool your terrain is!

Hi everyone,
I picked up a Citadel battlemat recently so I decided to build some 15mm Flames of War scenery to go along with it. One big criteria is that it needs to be easy to store, so most of the pieces will be designed to take up minimal space if possible. Many of these pieces could be used for 28mm too.

I finished a few projects at the same time. I'll put up all of the pictures over the next few days.
