Bob’s Black Suns Terrainfest

Well just working through the misc bits in the Mars Attacks box found some very nice misc modern Street scatter.

The terrain is designed to be modular ,with a view to breaking up to put back in box, but I decided I wanted it more permanent, to fit in various ruins I already have so I glued bits together, using the nice mantic joint pieces. No major hiccups other than just checking brickwork goes same way.

.

Bit of a learning curve on best way of putting on Brackets so they stay put, but ground floor done. Letting glue before putting on 1st floor.

My projects can often start as one thing and  morph into other things as I start building it up.

In this case even before I start, it’s taken a sideways slant. This sort of follows what’s happened with my Black Suns Project, which has strayed into Moderns with Stargate and Forbidden Ruins , which itself has morphed as I discovered the Spectre minatures and their games.

As a Xmas prezzie for me I had purchased the starter box , and having painted up the figures, have now come to look at the little box of starter terrain that comes with it.

As I looked at it originally I thought looks a bit familiar and I rembered .

Which has a pile of similar terrain in it. Now I rembered this before xmas, but only rembered to look to see what was in it this week!

This jogged another memory, and I rembered another purchase from Mantic at Salute a few years ( I think a lot of years) .

Strangely for me, I actually remembered (as with Mars Attacks)where I’d put them!

So I have a bit of building ahead of me!!

I originally had not given Terrainfest much thought this year  having got multiple hobbybprojects on the go  be it Blak Sun, Halo, the constant ongoing Battletech etc , then realised I had unintentionally started, with Black Sun I  that I had been slowly getting together odd bits of for Terrain for it.

Firstly back in September I had picked up two Sarrisma Precision’s Bamboo houses. Which I figured would make nice centre peice for table. I had built them and base coated in  GW Zandri Dust. One had been a further coat of wash and some staining of the roof  then left.

I also had built the spare bits of Rubicon’s P76 for the floating version, planning to do it as a terrain feature waterlogged destroyed tank, as had been thr plan for thr Broken Huey, from my original attempt to re visit Vietnam some time back.

There had been no real plan for Terrainfest  but I sometime ago loaded the Temu app, and had been bombarded by offers   which I have generally ignored.

One of the things that did peek my interest though had been a steady amount of 3d Terrain and models  predominantly for 40k  but some fairly Generic, particularly things like Dungeon walks and trenchworks, very reasonably priced, so thought give them a try  . I now have 3 sets with one more on the way.

Now on these 1st two, the narrower trench isn’t wide enough for standard 25mm bases to sit at bottom,  so they perch half way up, but this final peive is spot on.

I already have a couple of bigger pre painted  sandbag bunkers, that cover multiple periods which these trenchs van be added too

Do here are the bear bones of project.
