Infinity Terrain

No sci-fi setting would be complete without barrels. They have been a staple for years but sadly I only own 1 GW barrel. It’s some of the objects that money does not come out of my wallet for but I have always wanted them.

I decided to try and make a more sci-fi barrel. I don’t think it’s all there yet I may come back to this but there is not much you can do with a barrel unless you are prepared to change the shape to not a barrel.

I done some sketches and just used the tools to make some shapes on the software.  The only design part I wanted, in case I wished to use these or embellish them further. I wanted a way to link the barrels via hoses this could be to mix and output the contents. This was fitted with 0.9 mm holes the same as the gas cylinder so I can use the solid core ethernet cable wires I have to fit in to pretend there are hoses I may also make connector sections for this to really ramp up the detail. I don’t know why I went with 3 possibly one for beet one for gas, connected to a mixing barrel and a tap for a sci-fi beer scene!

So there I have it. Finished barrels to join the ranks of my terrain. The bottle mounting system made this very quick to paint just spinning the lid meant I could paint without stopping due to constant movement.

Very quick project this was done today. Quite happy with this but there may be another barrel resign in the future as I learn more I may revisit this.

Next will be the roadblock but this may be next weekend or a during the week project. I have made these but they need painting and is the first time I have used Laser and resign prints together (even though this is very simple in this case).

More to come!
