Even more sci-fi terrain

Terry traded me some additional sci-fi terrain so I decided to paint it up while I still remembered the colours I used for the last batch!


The five pieces he gave me include two tables (one map and one gear) as well as two projector screens and a computer bank. These certainly help break up LOS.


The projector screens are double-sided, which increases their flexibility. They came with recessed graphics etched into them but I decided to cover them with some images I nicked from the web.


They fit in pretty much perfectly with the terrain I already had, which is awesome.

Up next: Maybe some Xenos Rampant AARs.

More sci-fi terrain

And a bit more sci-fi terrain today, this time some bridge pieces. I dithered between bright white and grey and eventually just decided grey was easier to match later on.


There were some cool computer databanks and a bunch of bridge consoles. The large screen above is a printout of the 1979 BSG graphics. These will work with pretty much any race/genre, even with the Cylon below posed like he's giving a powerpoint presentation.


I also got eight of these map tables. They are nicely done with interchangeable planets.


I experimented to try and get a 3-D translucent projector effect on the Death Star (meh, almost). But who needs eight of these? Fortunately, I was able to trade away four to Terry.


Up next: Maybe some Xenos Rampant with Bruce.

Sci-fi terrain

Three-D printing has really revolutionized terrain for me. I had an unexpected windfall recently and dropped it all on some generic sci-fi terrain. This came printed in a hard, white plastic. I finally finished painting the first batch.


I picked up a canteen set, which included tables, dispensers, and such. i think I may have missed an opportunity to paint up one of the garbage cans as R2D2.


There was also a bunk house set, which included shower and toilet pods and sinks.


The set also included lockers and bunks.


The couches. tables and planters were a part of the canteen set.


Overall, a super fun project and I now have some stuff to fill out a sci-fi skirmish set-up.

The bridge set I also ordered just arrived so it is next on my list of things to paint.
