Salvatore explains: This is my first attempt at Necro-style terrain. I

learned a lot from making this piece, and I plan to build an improved

version of this soon. The large tank is a PVC pipe banded with card

and 3mm doll eye rivets, which were painted metallic silver and

drybrushed with rust. Look at the top of the large tank and see the

green chemical within! I cut out a white card disc slightly larger

than the diameter of the pipe. I carefully bent all the way around the

edge of the disc to form a flange. Then I glued it inside the pipe

about 1" from the top. I mixed Citadel 'putrid green' paint with

some clear resin and poured the mixture into the pipe! I purposely

introduced a lot of air bubbles into the resin by stirring it

vigorously before pouring. The three smaller tanks are 1" wooden

dowels joined by dowel piping (a drinking straw would have been easier

to work with). The base and two platforms are 3/16" plywood. I

covered the base and platforms with cross-stitch plastic to simulate

industrial-type flooring. The flooring was painted black and

drybrushed with rusty acrylic and silver. The corrugated metal fences

were made from the inner core of cardboard. Instead of silver + rust I

should have painted them black THEN drybrushed with silver + rust... I

always learn something new with every piece...
