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

Nice bunker Russell :)
ReplyDeleteI've found where it comes from - Hive City Terrain although it is listed as "out of stock"
DeleteThank you, and well done finding the supplier. I could find no clue and assumed it had been a late night Ebay purchase.
DeleteI will have a look, may be some other buildings of interest.
Really useful bit of kit with a nice finish.
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Original piece of scenery
ReplyDeleteVery nice piece of scenery.
ReplyDeleteI don't game scoff but I can see that this bunker would be very useful in many applications/scales. Nice work on the concrete.
ReplyDeleteGee Peter, I don't know anyone who games 'scoff'... ;P
DeleteI think that is an Alien race that sucks their victims brains through the nostrils, but I could be mistaken. ;)
DeleteGreat piece!
ReplyDeleteCool piece of terrain - looks like it was designed by IKEA!
ReplyDeleteIt'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.
DeleteGreat piece of terrain there, Russel, very clean and hi-tech. Barks' Skull-O-Meter will register nothing here!
ReplyDeleteYup... drawing a blank. I conclude this structure dates from before the 40th millennium.
DeleteI love a multi-use item. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteThank 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.
ReplyDeleteThat 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.
