Warbases Sci-Favela Sewer Grate

 Went for something brighter to cheer up the table. Build is very easy, not that many parts, and I did not glue the grate to the top.

Spider eggs, spider eggs......so many....spider eggs!

 

For the spiders I made for Verrotwood/Silver Bayonet a while back, I thought it would be nice to have some eggsacks lying around, as one does. But I didn't want to spend a lot or use the 3D printer for it, so went with the wooden beads route. A bag of these is cheap at the arts & crafts section, or you can find bags of the stuff at the local Goodwill for even more variety. Add some Milliput to seal the hole, glue in place, cover the areas in between with some cheap wall filler, et voila, eggs. Or alien mushrooms. Or spawnpoints. Or anomalies. Or.....anything you can think of.

Grey primer, black wash, and just dotted all of them with a AK light grey marker pen and then again with a AK white marker pen, and satin varnish on top. No flock as these are so generic that they will fit in with my 28mm as well as my 15mm collection (see pics for ideas).

Hope you like!

A few moments later.... Plus a quick tutorial on tarped goods

 

Eyes are healed, tests keep coming back fine, headaches back to my usual 5 days a week, new glasses set me back a hard 1200 so back to trying to get stuff done.

Scratchbuilding it is then :)

Picked up a box of these at the Goodwill. Could have bought it for less I think at the Action but here we go.

Glue the together in sets of 2. They are not all idnetical in size but that helps with details when the tarp goes over it.

Then glue them as high as you want. I went for just overhead cover for standard 28mm figures. 3 blocks of 3, 1 block of 6 and 1 block of 7 for visual interest and ease of placement. 

Yes, this is how they started, but I ripped the two 3's apart again

 Then get some cleaning rags with alcohol solution for your glasses, you can buy these in a pack of 40 or so for cheap. Come to think of it, you can also use alcohol swabs from your First Aid kit. Open a few and let them dry out, this helps with cutting them to size.

I just glued them in place with any old tacky glue and once it had set coated it with some rubbed on superglue for extra hardness.

Primed the lot British Uniform and drybrushed that a few times, then used the AK Markers to colour in the crates, did some basic weathering and markings and they are done.

Easy peasy. The paper they use for those cleaners gives a great texture and the superglue makes it nice and solid. Give it a go yourself!
