I got these along with the stone heads, also from Bad Squidoo. This set more properly stands alone, though could also either be objective markers or just decoration.
I think it’d especially fit with Relicblade. Why not have to claim that relic from it’s long-fallen bearer?
I picked these up at Adepticon, from a variety of nice terrain accessories from Bad Squidoo. I think they’re intended to decorate bases or larger terrain pieces, but I decided to make them standalone for now. They can act as objective markers, or just some battlefield spice.
I’ve always been interested in the layers of history. Random ruins from past civilizations are one way of showing that.
Every modern board needs more vehicles. So I was excited by this kit.
And then promptly annoyed. It actually only has one truck. It’s got two backs, but only a single chassis and cab.
So I didn’t glue down the cargo body. I have vague ideas about making a platform the tank could go on, but haven’t actually made any progress towards it. I just wish they put a little more plastic in the box to make this kit way more useful.
The Crisis Protocol core set has a nice package of terrain, but you can never have enough. This construction site stuff helps to round it out, still useful for any modern game setting.
The construction office is much bigger than the Daily Bugle newstand in the core set. I used a similar streaking oil wash technique, with the addition of some rain marks.
The loader was a bit of a pain to paint. The arms made it difficult to get at the cab. But the way the model is constructed doesn’t lend itself to painting in subassemblies. I used a mix of Tamiya panel liner and sponge rust chipping.
The mixer had all the same subassembly issues as the loader.
The set came with a bunch of smaller barrels and road barriers. If I were smarter, I might have saved some to fill out larger based models. I guess it’s not too late. In the meantime, they can fill out the board a bit.
