So in regards to painting my buildings, if the Yu Jing
where building a cheap housing estate for people they don’t really care about,
and also thinking realistically about how buildings are build, they would have
built them out of concrete. Because of this my plan is to undercoat all the
buildings in a grey concrete like colour, and as you can see I’ve done that:
Black inside (which you can't see) just
to
seal/prevent the MDF smell….mmmm MDF…

The other thing I wanted to do was have the signs and
doors to be metal, and since there’s no real maintenance going on here in this
housing estate (because why waste money on second class citizens?!), I wanted
to be able to do a rust effect later which meant painting them in a rust red
colour.
The general plan is:
·
Doors to be a plain metal colour, with some rust
coming through mostly around the bottom
·
Signs to be colourful, but likewise have rust
coming through, and the posts to be the same metal colour as the doors
·
Buildings to come in 4 different colours. Only
the walls of the buildings will get colours, while the stairs and the roof will
remain grey. I want to have bare concrete showing through around the bottom of
the building, and randomly across the walls (but not too much!)
Also threw in my Necro scatter that fits best with Infinity...IE barrels |
I still have a fire lane issue, I found 4 major ones when I set this up |
My board wasn’t looking very slum like and more
Industrial park like…dang!!!
So I could probably fix this with some custommeeple
street signs (Infinity official too!), but then I realised (oh I’m still going
to get them) that I’m ok with this, as I think it fits better with the fluff.
Infinity is a game about black ops, so you would expect
raids at facilities and etc over a fire fight in a busy suburb area (unless it’s
an ISS shake down, or shenanigans on Paradisio…). So I’m ok with this!
Cheers!

Get some vehicles, young man! Some junked out cars on blocks screams slums, as does Car Seats as outdoor furniture. Trash barrel fires with some detritus on corners(trash that is never getting picked up) would do nicely as well.
ReplyDeleteI did think i needed to get some more specific scatter, such as the warsenal bus stop; and I do need some vehicles, esp for those epic fire lanes i have issues with!!!
Deletewonder if i can get those ruined cars from Mars Attacks...
