The white never got quite white enough, but that's probably for the best. Then I coated it in matte Mod Podge mixed with a healthy does of black paint, ala Black Magic Craft. I've got sculpting tools, which sometimes come in handy, but something about the ink lubricates the process (and marks your progress) in a nice way. Then, ballpoint pen to draw cracks and crevices into the foam. Maybe I could have also used plasticard instead of paper.
In the end, I ended up slashing the underside of the paper with a razor to "break it up", and that fixed it. Unfortunately, the whole thing warped and despite painting both sides and trying to heat it and leaving books on it, it kept springing back to a saddle shape. Now, maybe I could have just glued it and relied upon the walls and paint to hold it together later, but instead, I glued both pieces to a sheet of paper. But this was the base, so it needed to not fall apart. Unfortunately, the arm on the Proxxon is only so tall, so I had to make two halves and glue them together. I wanted a pretty thin "sidewalk", and obviously I needed it to be the right size. I wasn't planning on documenting this, and as I said, I didn't even know what I was doing, so there aren't as many pictures as there could be.Ĭrazy wastelander (with a banana in his pocket) for scale. In this case, pink XPS "insulation" foam. There may be better options and it might need some aftermarket mods to really shine, but dang if this wasn't a game-changer for me. Wait for somebody to buy you a Proxxon hot wire table. Of course, maybe their building is just too small. The doors and windows are correct, but I suspect that the whole building is nearly the same size as the 28mm building. The side effect of eyeballing it is that I think my scale isn't right. I don't own it, but there are photos online. That's great, because it's already designed for simplification and playability. Here we go:įirst off, I based a lot of what I'm doing on the existing 28mm Fallout Red Rocket terrain set. The long answer is kind of the same, but longer. The overhang part comes off, too, for ease of access.
Looking for a terrain project, and having done a few "cyberpunk" buildings already, I decided to look for something fun and iconic that I could use with "This Is Not A Test" or maybe "Scrappers" or one of the zombie games out there.ĭigging around, I settled on the "Red Rocket Filling Station" from Fallout 4.
