AK47 Republic - Objective Markers Part 9: Supply Dump

 For my supply dump objective marker, I had originally planned to cut some wooden dowels to size and cover with a PVA soaked baby wipe as a tarpaulin.  I even got as far as getting the wooden dowel, a tiny bit smaller in diameter than I wanted but it would have looked OK under the tarpaulin.  Unfortunately I ran out of time due to the rest of the family getting ill.

The original plan

I added 4 stacks of 3D printed fuel drums to create the supply dump.

Some tufts of moss off a brick in the garden were used for larger plants to help hide the bases of the fuel drums.

Trees base detail - cat litter pellet "bark" etc.

Although the end result looks fairly good, I was disappointed.  I had intended this to be more than just a few pre-made objects plonked on a base, some of which look like they're hovering slightly above the ground.

The original plan would have involved more actual hand-crafting of the supplies and making sure that they had soil and vegetation applied ot blend them into the base.  That said, the ground and the tree were all hand-made, and at the end of the day, it will still come in useful as an objective marker for a game.

  1. I've got to say all of the objectives here are class! Even if they all didn't make the AK47 competition there are some fantastic ideas and evident skill here.
