Fun in the snow

Taking advantage of the abundance of white stuff laying around, I braved the cold this morning to capture these shots. I used a battery operated tea light to give the warm yellow glow inside the hut.

Weathering the Quonset Huts

I have added some weathering to the huts and tried giving them some personality with decals. I'm still perfecting the art of decal application.

The 57th starts setting up base camp

Bit of  hiatus there. Life's gotten a little crazy, plus the holidays, plus new years, plus my friends and I trying to develop and eventually self-publish a game. (www.moverate20.com) Whew.

Anyways, I got the Quonset huts from Dust Tactics for the Holidays and I'm starting to work on them so they can become part of Fort Appalactic. The pictures are of the base coat and camo, details to come later.

3 of the 6 buildings with a subtle 3 color camo

Here we have the commanders hut (far left) and the communications hut (far right)


Close up of the camo. I used the chit board from another holiday gift "Relic" as a mask to add a subtle dimention to the camo pattern.

If those look like "Influence" markers there's a good reason.

Security cameras, picked up Stock Connery snooping around..
