Here is the story of my four foot pipe. After a 3am game, I decided to make some quick (and cheap) terrain instead of just talking about it. Since having a pipeline was in my mind, I grabbed the box and bag of tubes.
Till tubes, a plastic sign, a couple of primer lids, and a handful of other plastic trash were strewn about the living room. After three hours of cutting and gluing, four feet of pipeline was built and primed black. But I was assaulted by orks as the paint dried, so I had to defend myself.
After the skirmish, I rested. But upon waking I immediately.....worked on something else for a while. But this afternoon, on the other hand, I painted them. Painting took about as long as the construction, and after around six hours I think they look table-ready.
And that was the story of a four foot pipe.Ricalope.
It looks great, I have been thinking of building a pipeline for quite awhile I am just looking for cheap material to do it with.
ReplyDeleteNice work! Love how the pipes create a city scape which looks like there are people living in it...kinda because it now looks operational. Water for humans or even just waste sludge.
ReplyDeleteAny chance u can show us how you constructed the embellishments around the pipes? i.e. the details?
They look more than table-ready! This is terrain at its best - bringing a story and challenging the players, and good-looking with it.
ReplyDeleteVery cool- nice economical terrain piece that looks great. Nice rust effect as well
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome looking 4 foot pipe you got there sir.
ReplyDeletethanks all.
ReplyDeleteenrgie > When I make another set I will post a step-by-step. Although it really is easier than it looks.
Awesome! Looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteI am actually building my own city at the moment and am incorporating an industrial section (check my blog out).
I have posted a WIP picture. Will update it soon.
enrgie > which blog? post a link if you will ;>
ReplyDeleteSure thing! This was the post I made awhile back: http://anythingbutones.blogspot.com/2010/12/terrain-day.html
ReplyDeleteYou can "follow" me as I will be putting up the WIP post for my city soon.
Would be great for us to share ideas on building realistic urban themed terrain!
