Munky's Terrain

[munky]

Hi guys i just thought id start a post where i can show pics of the terrain me and my mates are cooking up.
The first piece is a ventilation shaft, i was thinking what thinks nids would aim for in a city environment(which will be our main scenery to start with)



this is as far as ive got though i should have most of it modelled by the end of the week, its gonna have mesh grills over the shafts and a pool of nasty looking liquid next to it

Looks good, I do a lot of terrain too (see the terrain tutorial for some samples, as well as many threads hidden in this place), if you don't mind, what are you using as the "white" filler on this piece? It looks pretty easy to work with. I generaly use wall filler/spackle, as it is cheap and I am familiar with it. I like what your doing there, hope to see more.

When I was at GW yesterday, a staff member told me that if you take the moonscape terrain and add some water effects to it, it'll look alot like a digestion pool. Thoughts?

Cool terrain munky!

im using artex its a sort of filler(used on ceilings to make patterns) i had a tub left over from doing my kitchen so i thought id use that.
it takes a while to dry but is very easy to sand which i like.

Cool terrain munky!

thats a cool idea ive bought some vallejo water effects for the pool so il give that a try first.

here is an update:

just added the steps, here is Barrie he says hi!

and the walls

drain pipes added to pool

generator built from old pc components

and the mesh grills all done.
tommorrow i should be able to start painting the scenery and possibly do the water too.

Looking good, I'm particularly interested in seeing how the vallejo water effects turns out

[munky]

im not too sure how its gonna go because its a gel not a liquid but i should be able to form it into ripples leading from the pipes outwards if i cant get it flat.
heres some more pics:

texture added

just started painting base colours.
thats all for today

awwwwsssooommme cant wait to see the finished piece

[munky]

heres an update:






basically this is how it looks but ive got the flock and odds and ends to do and loads of weathering, but you get the idea i hope.

what do you all think?

Hehe, that's awesome, all I can think of is tunnels for apocalypse.

i was thinking of what nids would try and capture in a city to help the invasion, i thought vents and sewer entrances would allow them to infiltrate the city from below.

[munky]

right here goes the vallejo water effects:
its good stuff for modeling water out of pipes but not good if you just want flat liquid.
i had to brush it on in ripples for it to look half decent.




il have to find a good water effect for flat water/pools really, any ideas?
