Shanty barricades

 To go with my recently completed rundown hab block, I printed some shanty barricades from Terrain4Print.  These were rescaled to 56% to convert them from 28/32mm down to 15mm models.  They're pictured here with a range of figures from GZG, Rebel Minis and Peter Pig.

When you look closely, they don't completely make sense, including only the front half of fuel drums, tyre stacks etc.  They still look great though, so rule of cool says they'll have a place on my games table!

They have a good range of textures on both sides and I love the little broken up washing machine!

These barricades will also work with the hab block to provide some extra cover for anyone on the roof or around the front.

Rusty Corrugated Metal

There has been quite a bit of interest recently in metal shack "shanty towns" in 15mm scale, what with GZG's new metal shacks (V15-COL4 SHACK SET) and Battle Works Studios "Startown Slum" buildings - see the Dropship Horizon blog for a review of both.

I passed some very battered old buildings whilst driving round Essex today, so thought I'd post them as good examples of heavily weathered corrugated iron sheeting, in case anyone could use a littel reference material or inspiration.
