I’ve painted since these pictures were taken, but here’s the work so far in building these. I had the clever(?) idea to make a pair of bunkers that could be used independently as scatter, either together or opposing each other, with magnets that attach to a single roof that turn them into a larger piece, either playable for a king of the hill fight or as a large goal or blocking piece to make vehicles’ lives harder. When all together the magnets hold the middle entryways 1.5″ apart, making them comfortable for a single unit to pass through or to blockade against entry, while preventing larger 2″ base vehicles (or creatures) from entering.
I don’t know if a lot of thought went into this piece, but there was certainly a lot of inspiration (the grimdark lines are undeniable) and adoption of stuff I’ve seen on youtube (magnets, weathering, multi-purpose pieces, game agnosticism). It definitely feels like it’s mine, but at the same time it feels like I’m benefiting from the community- if that’s the right word. YT is sort of one-way and I’m not a patreon of any channels at the moment, and “community” in my head means there’s stuff going both ways. But I’ve benefited from the work of others!
Anyway, next post about this bunker should be the finished model. I got it primed and base layered tonight (no pictures, grey isn’t inspiring). Plans are to hide some mod podge drips and the uninspiring base with “riveted steel” patches and I dunno, posters or something.
