First Etsy Commission! Ruined City Block & Tank Traps

Despite the wet weather around here making the air so humid the glue didn't want to dry, my first Etsy commission is on it's way to it's new owner! This piece is a Ruined City Block built with Hirst Arts chipped stone blocks, but is set in a sci-fi setting, so I got to include braces, boxes, sandbags and all sorts of interesting bits. He asked that I attempt to match the flocking and colors to his existing game mat, which is a swamp. I used a lot of muted browns for a wet look, and the patchy vegetation attempts to match his mat. He also requested some tank traps in the same scheme.

Here's the finished pics! Click down below for all of them!

Ruined City Block Puzzle & Abandoned Pumping Station

I've adapted my Puzzle design to my foamcore buildings, and the following was my first run at it, at a very basic level. Normally I would have used concrete patch pasted onto the sides of the buildings for more texture, as well as more bullet holes and damage. But I kept it fairly simple, and tried to use my airbrush for as many effects as I could. I'm really happy with the results, and look forward to making more of these!


I also finished a bunker type building I am referring to as a "Pumping Station". Some long forgotten piece of machinery labors on inside this small corner, surrounded by some of my new barriers, sculpted by my friend, Nick Denny!

Most of the paint on this project is also airbrushed, with very little actual brushwork.
