From RussellG - Multiscale sci fi bunker (15 points)

Not a lot of painting this week, but i did finish off this 28mm scale sci fi bunker that has been lying around for at least 2 years.

When I started painting it, I had some big ideas, but then I realised if I leave off the details I could use this for several scales.


It is fairly basic and I cant remember what I bought it for or from whom.


The interior has had a basic grey painted inside, nothing fancy here.

And here it is next to some (not part of the challenge, except the biker in another post) miniatures. It will be a small bunker in 28mm, a moderate bunker in 15mm, or my personal favourite a semi-enclosed outpost in 6mm.

This was a very basic paint job and as the model would probably only fill half of the 6 inch cube I am happy to accept 10 points at judges discretion.

Hopefully something more exciting in the next post.

Thank you for looking.

Hoi Russel! A nifty little piece of scenery. I like the smooth look of the bunker, does remind me of Tau architecture a bit. What a novel idea to leave off the detailing that could be linked to a certain scale so you can use it in several scales! The magnetised roof is very well conceived too. Anyway as points go I will go as far as award you 15 points because the building looks rather higher than 3".

Cheers Sander

    1. I've found where it comes from - Hive City Terrain although it is listed as "out of stock"

    2. Thank you, and well done finding the supplier. I could find no clue and assumed it had been a late night Ebay purchase.
      I will have a look, may be some other buildings of interest.

  3. I don't game scoff but I can see that this bunker would be very useful in many applications/scales. Nice work on the concrete.

    2. I think that is an Alien race that sucks their victims brains through the nostrils, but I could be mistaken. ;)

  4. Cool piece of terrain - looks like it was designed by IKEA!

    1. It's called the Snøgglebunker and it's been on sale there for some time. But when you assemble it, there's always a Tau Fire Warrior left over.

  5. Great piece of terrain there, Russel, very clean and hi-tech. Barks' Skull-O-Meter will register nothing here!

    1. Yup... drawing a blank. I conclude this structure dates from before the 40th millennium.

  7. Thank you everyone, and Tamsin has the win, it is from Hive city terrain, and it looks as if they have added a few things to the range.

  8. That is a well executed bit of terrain, Russ! I like the lack of detail that does give it room to adjust to any scale. It does look Tau, but it would be fitting in any sci-fi or even pulp game.
