A Place to Shop

 Everyone needs a place to shop...


An aerial view shows the back of these three 'establishments'




Here we have the front of them, along with the 'added' extras that can be removed to adjust the level of gubbins on show and in the way of line of sight.




I will have to get a better picture of the inside... this will be the 'Docs'. There is a medical seat to go in here from the objective box set. Is the ratskin asking or demanding treatment here?






This is the 'All In Shop' which caters for a wide range of needs.







This is the local 'Guns R Us' with its own resident shell shocked shopkeeper.

Getting Grubbier


 Now they are starting to take shape.. this is before making them very grubby and dirty with a big wash ...I want them to seem very run down and rusty and dirty and muddy... I cannot imagine they would be pristine shops in the depths of the underhive.

On Display

 My painting skills are very limited but occasioanlly some of the models might almost reach a tabletop standard.


I wanted to think about how to store and present them. We do not have room in the house for the standard 'Detolf Solution' so I looked around on Ebay and saw some display cases for an almost reasonable price.




Finding some air dry clay around I started to make a base for them


The base has since been washed to within an inch of its life so I will take a picture with the final look.


I am happy that part of the gang is now protected from grubby fingers.
