I have finished my little shanty town ready for a FUBAR game.

The shanty is sold as six separate buildings as seen here:

http://angelbarracks.co.uk/Scenery/6mm/Buildings/buildings.html#shanty


Mine is a faulty set as there is a building that has some air bubble damage.
All the others are ok so I thought I would keep the faulty one myself and just paint it up as a damaged building.

I based it on some 2mm plasticard and created a small hill/ridge around the shanty town.

The buildings come based which is not my cup of tea but when put on a little scenic tile I reckon they actually add to the effect.


The water tower is from Brigade Models and can be seen here:

Anyway, it is all painted based and sorted.
Just need to get the ECM in there and play the game!!

That shanty piece is 7" x 8"

"Very clever, I can see staples becoming the new cable tie."

Awesome line!

I love to see re-purposed junk turned into 6mm sci-fi scenery!

I love the way you've based that, the pathways between buildings looks really natural.

If work starts asking about missing staples I'm blaming you! :)
