RV And Tents

Here's my RV from Stoelzels Structures trailer park set, i wanted to make a few for a tent city i started to work on, i decided to make one of them with an interior, that could serve them all,  i printed 2 copies one gold and one white for the inside, they are mounted on mounting board, the seats and dash board came from Stoelzels Sructures auto park set, i decided not to furnish the inside to keep it modular

FEMA, Mobile Field Clinic

I was watching the walking dead a few days  ago and this idea sprung to mind, the main clinic building is the large mobile home from Stoelzels Structures fantastic trailer park set, the red cross tent is from Dave Graffens field tents set, i gave the tent an inside by printing the tent twice once with red crosses and once without and backing them with mounting board, one side of the roof can be removed for access. The props are from various Stoelzels Structures and WWG sets.

Classic 1980s Video Renal Store

Here's my 80s video store, the main model is Stoelzels Structures food market, a great model and a very simple build perfect for beginners.
 The 80s was the heyday of the video store, as a kid renting  movies was a big deal, i remember every Friday night the family going to the store to rent movies. 
I used XTra Vision as the brand for the shop, they are Ireland's biggest  rental chain and are still going strong online today.

 
I modified the structure slightly by giving it a suspended balcony instead of the second floor so their is more floor space, the cafe where
my wife works has this design, and i like it very much, i added some movie posters and stands of some of the movies i remember renting back in the day. This is my first project with the windows removed, this is something i will do on all future builds. 

Sorry for the bad pics, my camera is on the blink

Stoelzels Structures Fire Station

So here's my take on stoelzels structures fantastic  fire station kit . This model took me a long time to complete, because i have been so busy with work and family matters . But with that said i think it is safe to now let you all know that my wife is pregnant with our second child, so i am one happy war gamer, so now things are starting to calm down on the family front, i seem to have a lot more time for hobby stuff and i have two card terrain project on my table stoelzels structures Big Box and a video rental store based on Carls food market model.

Gamescapes ruined offiice block (post office)


So here's my latest build its the ruined office block, the first printout terrain from game scape, the PDF is free to members of back stage at the beasts of war web site. The first thing i noticed is that the building only has three corners, i guess the reason for this is it was designed for 40K and space was left for vehicles to enter for cover. The model looks like it has taken a pounding in a war zone, but for ATZ purposes we can pretend it has been destroyed by a natural gas explosion, some thing that would be very common during the zombie apocalypse. The models is pretty big the foot print is 40cm x 40cm and the wall are 28 cm at the highest point



This set is designed to be mounted on foam board/core and uses
stoelzels structures style rabbits for the wall sections, i am a big fan of this type of build it saves messing around with tabs that have to be glued under your walls it also makes for fast sturdy construction , but i did use mounting board for the base and gates.


I added the Mayhem central post office sign from WWG this seems to suit the building well, some of the letters have fallen of the sign and give it a destroyed look,  i can change the sign any time with blue tac or remove it if i want
