An ingenious collection of found items has been used to construct it, and it is in modular sections. Best of all, if you can get to Tim's store then you might even be able to game on it!
The the building part began by drawing out a rough sketch of the
set-up to ensure there was both cover and open areas for lines of
fire. The terrain was being made for a 6'x6' table. Wanting 6"
wide roads I decided to build the corner pieces 1' 1/2" x 1'
1/2", the edge pieces are 2' x 1' 1/2", and the center is 2'
x 2' area. This allows me some movement of the terrain if needed
fitting the pieces together almost like a puzzle. The bases are made
of 1/4" hardwood for stability.
| The first piece was the landing pad which I constructed based on the landing pad featured on the TerraGenesis site. The extra pad area was made using PVC pipe and half of an electrical wire coil dispenser. The fence area is made with wire mesh and lollypop sticks Bulkheads and various bits were used to make the adjoining building. |  |
The factory (top left corner of the first picture) was made with
necromunda bulk heads, foam board, corrugated cardboard, and model
sprues. The catwalk was decorated with Chaos spikey bits from the Land
Raider which I used as terrain. I measured out side with the bulk
heads first then built the rest of the factory around it. The fourth
wall (on the opposite side) is not completed so models could be moved
around
on the inside.

The water plant was made with cardboard, balsa
wood towers, and medal models from Chronopia as the statues. The
water was made with resin, the first level had Citadel Flesh
Wash mixed in to give it the dirty water effect. After this had
dried I poured a second clear mix over it to give the impression
that chemicals heaver than the water were floating somewhere
beneath the surface. |
| The rest of the terrain was made using various
junk bits such as mailing tubes, balsa wood, more bulkheads, 40k
ruins, and plastic Christmas ornaments. Coke cans were used for
tanks, model bits and half the Christmas ornaments were used to
give them a more tank like appearance. |

The one piece that attracts attention is the Darth
Maul. I wanted an Inquisitor looking statue in the city, so I
glued Maul to a pedastal and then painted him like the other
terrain. |
| In painting I decided to go with a simple colour scheme that could easily be duplicated if anything was broken and needed to be repaired. I started with a black spray, followed by a grey mist. A rust colour was then sprayed in a sweeping fashion, this was lastly followed by a sandy colour spayed lightly to give some highlights. |  |
I hope this helps, if anyone wants to know more they can contact me

Those that live in the south of the US can see the terrain. Our store
