New York, London, Paris, Pripyat...

 This has taken a bit of time to get to this stage.

A Debris of War ventilator is placed above the vehicle bay.

Debris of War sofa and a chair provide some comfortable seating for sentries, a crate is convenient as a table.

A Crooked Dice electrical cabinet and air-conditioner adorn the walls.

The walls and roof were sprayed with Plastikote Rust Effect paint. The interior was sprayed with TTCombat Skeleton Bone. The walls were sprayed with Army Painter Fur Brown. The roof was sprayed with Citadel Chaos Black.

Brick detailing was Vallejo Black Grey, Army Painter Fur Brown, Army Painter Chaotic Red, Army Painter Stone Golem and Army Painter Skeleton Bone from a wet palette. 

The walls were drybrushed with Citadel Golfag Brown.

Secretarial Association head office - Warbases building

 So, Warbases have a range of pre-war and wartime buildings. One of them is the Reynolds Workshop.

Now this is going to be used as the head office of the Secretarial Association in The City.

A Citroen 2CV parked outside. The windows and doors still need to be undercoated.

The exterior has been sprayed with Plasticote Rust effect followed by Colour Forge Ghoul Grey.

Still undecided about what to do with the roof - they have large windows, but that is not much fun if you are in a hot climate with the sun beating down.

A number of Crooked Dice aircon units will be added to this wall and a sign advertising the Secretarial Association.

Warbases' MOD Hut

 

This is a Warbases' MOD Hut C. It might be a bit late for Flat Caps and Truncheons, having a more 1930's feel.

Like previous builds, the interior was sprayed with Colour Forge Ghoul Grey.
The windows and doors were masked up and the exterior sprayed with Plastikote Rust effect paint.
This was then covered with Army Painter Fur Brown.
The brick work was painted with mixtures of various greys, Army Painter Chaotic Red, black and Army Painter Fur Brown.

The brickwork was washed with Citdel Agrax Earthshade.
The roof was sprayed with Colour Forge Ghoul Grey and a misting of Citadel Chaos Black.
The doors and windows were sprayed with Army Painter Angel Green

This building has doors at both ends.

It has windows only on one of the long sides.

Small Concrete Store - Warbases

 At Warfare 2024 I bought a number of Warbases' World War 2 buildings. One of them was the small concrete shed. The plan was to use them for Modern and When Nightmares Come games.

Something in the shed is attracting the attention of some vermin.

By design, the roof appears just to rest on the top of the building. Unlike many of Warbases' buildings, the floor does not have a step, it rests within the building (which lead to a mistake in construction). This, and my idea to place the building on a scenic base gave me the idea that I could use the "floor" as a plug within the building to hold the roof securely. So it was glued centrally to the roof piece.

Having assembled the building, I realised I had put the wall with the door on upside down, there should just be one concrete plank at the base of the door.

However it did lead to an idea for the buildings function, to contain a pump system. To prevent the ingress of flood water, there is a double raised lip, and the lower concrete planks are sealed with bitumen paint. Fuel is supplied in drums, but he suppliers are a bit lax in removing the empties, so they get left outside. 

The door and window are still to be decided

At Warfare in 2024

When Nightmares Come - to Pike's Office

 At Warfare 2024 I bought a number of buildings from Warbases' World War Two range, one of which was Pike's Office. The buildings will be used as an industrial estate for When Nightmares Come.

A Terror checks out the new property.

The building is fairly simple.

The roof (bottom right) will rest on the interior wall panels that provide the window frames and the door.

The interior wall panels (right).

Assembly is straightforward. Remove the base and the four walls from the "sprue" (there are connecting tabs holding the pieces to the "sprue", cut them carefully with a scalpel). Clean up the edges. 

I have a glass plate I use for this sort of thing - not sure where it came from but it provides a flat surface that nothing sticks to.

Get some heavy pots to support the walls during drying.

Apply PVA glue to the edges of the base and the tabs on the edges of the walls. Then with your four hands bring the four walls together making sure they are aligned and vertical. Use the heavy pots to support the walls while they dry.

I used white wood filler to fill in any gaps on the walls and smoothed it off with sandpaper.

I used masking tape to mask the window and door spaces and the rooflights. I used masking tape to secure the interior panels in place and then added the roof. This effectively masks the interior of the building.

The whole exterior was then sprayed with Plastikote Rust effect spray to give it some texture.

Once dry, the tape was removed and the whole building (except the roof) including the interior panels was sprayed with TTCombat Skeleton Bone.

When that was dry, the window frames were masked on the inside and Humbrol 163 Dark Green was sprayed for the window frames and door. 

The rooflights were glued to the roof and a Debris of War bin bag was added. The whole roof given a coat of Citadel Chaos Black spray. 

The brick line was painted with Army Painter Fur Brown.

Now it is awaiting weathering and the brick detailing.

Quar Crusader Rhyfler

 This is the first completed Quar Crusader Rhyfler

The skin was painted with Citadel Ultramarine Blue (Quar come in a whole range of colours).

The Bogen rifle and the helmet are Vallejo Black Grey, as is the belt buckle and the webbing fittings.

The trousers are Citadel Steel Legion Drab

New York, Paris, Pripyat...

 At Salute I bought a Brick Workshop from Warbases. I was looking for a base of operations in The Zone for some dodgy dealers in black market goods (portrayed by some Rogue Traders).

The large doors will be replaced with roller shutters (removable) and external roller shutters over the door and window (raised). The door will be a suitably reinforced one (scratch built probably).

The workshop doors are big enough to take a Crooked Dice Transit van, not sure about the Soldiers of Fortune van.

The building will be in a compound (using the Sarissa Compound Walls). The ones here are the unfinished ones.
