Back in 2017 I built some additions to my desert buildings,
I thought I’d written a post about them but looks like I forgot to do so in the rush to get them ready for the Battle of Llah Ega'lliv...
I thought some walls would be useful to connect buildings to
form compounds. All are simple foamcore with the usual filler/PVA/paint textured coating. All my desert building bases have a 15mm lip
around the edge so the connecting walls are all designed to overhang the edges of their
bases by 15mm. This helps everything match up neatly.

For a bit of variety from all the flat-roofed houses, I’ve also created a lean-to tiled roof shelter.

The shelter just uses a piece of tile embossed plasticard for the roof, not truly in scale with 15mm but it looks the part and you don't really notice when you're playing.

| Attached to small storage building. |
It's designed to match the height of a single storey plus the walled roof above but looks just at home attached to a larger building too. The eaves height is enough for a small vehicle to be parked underneath, or just a pile of crates and other junk to provide cover from enemy fire.

Ingenious.
ReplyDeleteOverhang walls and attached buildings. I bet You could add other thing in this style, like telephone booths, Visa/Mastercard box, powergenerator, extra doors, shops, water tap, dog shed etc.
I’m working on a few more bits now, have got them assembled and undercoated so watch this space!
