Reinforced Heavy Bunker - Sci-Fi
Scracthbuilt "reinforced heavy bunker" built from "Hardfoam" (Depron+), plastruct and herculite plaster mixed with powders to attain the conrete "look". Conrete slabs were hand "sculpted" and the whole thing is mounted on a large concrete terrain board (embossed EPS sheeting) over an MDF base. Weathering achieved using our own weathering powders and "Scenic Rust". Exterior rubble also made from the hand-made conrete in self-sculpted small blocks (crushed into debris). Top detail (two headed eagle) is cut from a 2mm sliced foam sheet - in hindsight a 1mm thick sheet would be easier to cut and just as effective in producing "texture". I will update with Interior pictures and shots of the "back door" when I get a chance - the interior is lightly detailed with 2 control panels for the roof weapons and a detailed rear entrance made from necromunda bulkhead sections, plastruct tread plate and some love from a sharp scalpel. Roof is removeable, total weight including base is 278 grams, "hardfoam" density is 52kg/m3 so it is considerably stronger (denser) than most styrofoam LB type foams. The overall model is a prototype for a range of sci-fi bunkers we hope to bring out later this year - weaponry on the roof is "fluff" though and not part of the range. Scale is 25mm-30mm (effectively 28mm) Unfortunately the "Scenic Rust" had not had enough time to fully develop on these shots so i will update at some point down the line with more representative shots to illustrate this pretty cool product ("Scenic Rust") made by a UK company.
