Chipped Stone Ruin Puzzle

Finished yet another commission, this time for a Chipped Stone Ruin Puzzle. My customer wanted it to play Warmachine on, so it's all fantasy themed. I've also included some in progress shots on the next page!

 

Another Finished Small Bunker w/trench!

Customer requested a small bunker to act as a checkpoint that has been fought over in a no man's land near a city.

 

Customer Pics!

My newest commission arrived unharmed, and my customer sent me these great pics of the pieces in action!

New Bunker with Trench Area!

Here are a few pics of another finished commission. It's an intact bunker with an attached trench area on the side. I used my new Hirst Arts sandbag mold, which look great, and used the first resin cast roof! Not having to worry about the roof breaking during play is well worth using resin. I had a bit of a learning curve, and I left it out in the sun after I base coated it with black spray paint, and it warped a bit. So I put it back out in the sun, then set it back on top of the bunker with a slight spread weight on top. Fixed it right up.

I didn't take many pics as I needed it out the door, here are the few I did.

Desert Themed Destroyed Bunker

Recently finished a commission for a gentleman in Canada who asked that I color match his desert wasteland FAT mat. I'm really happy with how it came out, and apparently so is he! Love love love getting pics of my terrain in use! Click at the bottom to see all the pics!

Scenic Plates

I've had some people ask for just general ground coverage, so I came up with these. They are just made to cover your area in small pieces of terrain, while still looking good and providing some cover for your games. If anyone purchases five, they get the sixth one free.

Basic Detail Ruined Fieldstone Puzzle

I've been doing a hefty bit of molding walls of late, and have started using them to make various items. This is a Ruined Fieldstone Puzzle built using only pre-made molded walls.

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.

New Ruined Puzzles!

Here are a few of the different types of Ruined Puzzles I've made recently. I've really gotten better at airbrushing, and hope it shows!

Ruined Puzzle Bunkers!

These bunkers are a take on my "puzzle" format, where you can take all five pieces of the puzzle and create a single building, or scatter them around a game board for various pieces of cover.

These two bunkers are completely airbrushed, down to the rust effects.

Defensive Squares, Points and Tank Traps

I've been experimenting with sets of container terrain for use as both complete pieces, based somewhat on my "puzzle" series of terrain.

The first set splits apart into three separate pieces of area terrain, or together forms a "Defensive Square", depicting a hurried defensive position of hastily thrown together cover in an attempt to survive the coming enemy fire.

The tank traps consists of five strips of tank traps and various detail pieces, which can be used together, forming a tank trap field no tank commander would endanger his vehicle in. They can also be broken apart to cover large portions of your battlefield.

Supply Depot

This is a piece based on my "puzzle" series of terrain, using various containers, barrels and boxes to form a complete supply depot, or separate into five pieces for use as area terrain.

Small Bunker w/ Trench

I love adding trench sections to my bunkers, as I think it adds more character and depth to the model, not to mention the extra space for models!

This bunker was constructed a bit short in the back, so I was not able to use one of my complete one piece roof molds. The roof is still removable as one piece. The bunker itself can hold ten normal sized 28mm minis, as well as another 5-10 in the trench section, depending on size.

New Bunkers

I've been working on a series of new bunkers consisting of single wall and roof molds, so that I no longer have to place every single block and glue. This makes it infinitely easier to spend more time on detailing and painting.

Here are two of my single, small bunkers.

These are basic prototypes, without any serious detail added. Both have removable tops, with interior space for miniatures. They have both been airbrushed with an Iwata Neo. Every single color, weather and rust effect were done with the airbrush. I hope to make these effects better as I get more practice with the airbrush!
