Came across some really over painted and badly converted
space marines in a garage sale which I got for a cheap deal. Not sure why I
bought them, but it must be because it was lumped in a bundle of other cool
stuff as well. Looking at the space
marines gave me an idea of a scenery conversion of some dead marines as terrain
piece.
This time I used a 2mm thick mdf elliptical door sign as a base.
I covered the hole with some card and proceeded to add some foam board pieces
and other extra plastic bits. I then had fun cutting up the marines specifically
at their leg joints and arm joint to repose them. The idea was to have them looking
face down of sitting up against a wall with severed body parts.
Plus I drilled some bullet holes in the bodies though the
desired effect was a little subtle then I have expected. To finish off, I textured
the entire scenery with sand. The scenery was then basecoated in black and I started painting “ultramarine
blue” to my dead smurfy marines which came out quite nicely against the dark
backdrop.
I think this terrain is quite simple yet effective piece. A close
up below to all the plastic bits after some dry brushing of “codex grey” and highlights
of “boltgun metal“
Here is the final product below
I decided to do a second one on a round base just for fun.
Enjoy.
As always, Scratch building is fun and rewarding. Give it a
go!
