Lithian Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 A few found-item terrain bits I just wanted to share & offer up for critique. A storage tank and some atmospheric processors! The processors are food containers from my local Chinese food place and some spindles I liberated from the trash at work. The tank is an Advil bottle on a non-slotted spindle. Now I have two identical storage tanks! Now all I need is to keep driving my wife crazy with talk of little metal men and I bet she’ll rifle through another Advil bottle in no time! Comments welcome!

chronoplasm Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Nice! I might suggest adding some details to these thins though, like pipes coming out the sides ladders to climb up to the tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Wizard Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Nice! I like that, not only did you apply decals, but you also weathered the decals. Good move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwyksilver Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Great use of found items. I find the plastic inserts in all kinds of food packaging and electronics ideal for futuristic looking buildings in different scales. If you get a thin piece of plastic and are worried about it getting crushed, using a can of spray-in expanding foam insulation helps fill it. Just spray, and trim the excess. I'd recommend trying to use as much of the can as possible because the tip often clogs up and you only get one use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithian Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Thanks! I actually have done the spray foam too, with some water bottles. The grey tanks, used a plastic button kit for the topper Pre-paint in the back, you can see the expanding foam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
