Anybody remember the White Dwarf Presents leaflet from the '90s? From 1992 to be precise. It was the first GW publication I owned, and I don't know how much time I spent drooling over it back in the day… still occasionally do nowadays. For me this is an evergreen, gorgeous artwork, the game shots to this day resonate with me, even more so back then when the whole hobby was a new world for me to discover.
For Warhammer 40,000 I really liked the industrial type terrain showcased on page 16. Well, also the ork adobe style buildings, but that is for another project…
As I need to build some human made structures for this terrain set, this classic is going to be my first subproject on buildings.
With the image scanned, I scaled it in Inkscape so that the base nearest to the high structure was about 25mm wide, and then started to take measurements.
For the building on stilts (I will call it the pump station) I ended up with the following parts to cut:
I just placed an order for some plastic card, rods etc. as my stash doesn't hold enough or the right size of what I need.
Still contemplating how to recreate the upright pipe/valve things in the middle and the right of the picture. The closest that comes to my mind that might provide these shapes are the shells/innards of biros and/or sharpies. You got any idea?
