And what I spent most of my time on this weekend...



So as I was letting the basing material dry on my Rad Insects, and the hot glue gun was hot...I decided to bust out this:

  

 A two-story large ruin, with front porch, and a lift off second level.

The building is made up of materials I use for terrain/building projects and includes:

Balsa and Bass wood(random bulk bags from Hobby Lobby)

Single-Ply Carboard (from packing boxes)

Cocktail sticks and shapes

MDF base

Vacu Formed sheet textures(for tile, etc.)

Gatorboard( similar to foam board, but instead of paper sandwiching foam, its a thin hardboard sandwiching foam. ten time stronger than foamboard, but harder to cut.)

Hot Glue

Tacky Glue

Scatter and Rocks and whatever for rubble



Base of builing. Build up of Balsa, on a carboard floor, on an MDF base



Full base, 28mm fig



Building exterior wals roughed out. Note hangover for porch.



All exterior walls fastened to base(gatorboard). Crown molding for ceiling/floor

So, that was about 4 hours this weekend. I am sure the insects are dry and ready to paint, but this has been too fun. Think I 'll keep going. After this, several rubble pieces, some Marx car rubble, and a selction of shanties.
