Mattimao Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Very nice. I love how the ruins look like they were once a grand port of some kind. Kind of a pre-breach people, but who were they?:hmmmm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alondir Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 i dont sacrifice her. she gets red jokerd everytime.... well apart from the times she dies to other stuff, such as been left on her own, or the time she though lilith isn't that hard in combat ^^ :gurney: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13th Warrior Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Don't worry, he can always hide in the forest to get away from Lilith... Oh, wait :nutkick: Terrain looks fantastic, can't wait to start using it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratchet Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 The grate cover for the pipes is a very nice touch. I'm seeing new uses for the Hirst Arts sci-fi stuff. *makes note in terrain book* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaine Posted May 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) Block 7/9, probably my favourite so far, the pipe room Edited May 12, 2010 by Kaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hookers Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 this is really awesome. i'm thinking about picking up some hirst arts stuff myself. seems like you've been working pretty quickly on this, how long does it take to cast everything? or do you just have several molds? also, how did you do the trees/where did you get them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaine Posted May 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I have 3-4 different moulds i've used in this build so i cast a batch at a time, but it does take alot of time, i've probably got 1/4 of the 25kg bag of plaster left. The most basic of the boards is probably around 10 casts of a mould, takes a minute or so to cast, then 10-15mins to dry depending on room temp. The trees are stock GW their just stuck down and then covered in texture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 I like what you have done thus far, however I am not sure "Bayou Ruins" is really a good description for this. More like the descriptions of the quartine zone then Bayou. Perhaps after painting, flocking, and weathering. Once again it looks good just less and less like Bayou.

Once again it looks good just less and less like Bayou. true when i think bayou i think 100% swampy stuff, either way its definitely killer 15 minutes is not nearly as bad as i thought. i figured it would take hours to dry at least. i think i'm going to have to pick some up. what kind of texture for the trees? also is the ladder in the pipe room part of one of the molds too?

Bexley Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Just sink it all under a 1/2" layer of Envirotex. Then it will be very bayou ruinsy. Yes, ruinsy is totally a word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bexley Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Also, kudos on using Hirst molds and not ending up with something that looks like an ugly plaster toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagickalMemories Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 If you are interested in hirst arts bricks but don't want to take the time to make them yourself: http://www.castlemolds.com/links/links.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaine Posted May 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 The original intention was for a single ruin's tile in the centre of bayou tiles but its sorta grown beyond that. A better way to describe it now is "ruined pumping station" it will still be on the edge of the bayou as my next board will lead into that (forming a 6x3 board). The material on the base of the trees section (and the docks) is polyfilla, i believe a generic name in the us is "spackle" ? Its a used to fill cracks in walls but comes in a paste that textures well. The only other material used was plastic card for the rectangle grills everything else is hirst art blocks, including the ladder (from the new sci fi kits).

Manicmac Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 I am not worthy. That is awesome. Just a question though, how much does it weigh? Plaster must be pretty heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaine Posted May 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Not that heavy, i mean each module has a weight, probably about 6ibs / 2.5kgs a module. Beneath the top level of plaster is pink foam so it cuts the weight down to just one layer of tiles in most cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1981 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 amazingly good. Out of interest how much did this all cost? I'm looking at building an Industrial / Sewer zone in a similar way (300x300mm cells). Thinking of using insulation as a base over double corrugated card (cross corrugated stuff from my TV box, easily as sturdy as MDF) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaine Posted August 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Depends if you factor in the mould costs or not, with mould costs it was < $100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loganproudbeard Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 very impressed with this!!! would love to be able to build something like this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
