In another thread we talked back about a campaign where the deal was to spend next to nothing on a dio, so I thought I'd try it again. I needed to give these figures a home so created this scene.
The base was apiece of old wood laying around and the back wall a bit of scrap balsa. The bulk of the rubble was a bit of packing foam covered in plaster. The rubble was built using a couple of handfuls of 2 different types of cat litter with a crushed up house brick and cement dust. Only took a couple of hours to do and wasn't intended to be a masterpiece. I just wanted to show that not all dios need to be big and cost a fortune .






Thanks for looking

Sadly I only see the dreaded red X's

not bad for nowt!

I like the sound of a campaign where you spend as little as possible on a dio, more than anything it's a great excuse to clear out the stash!
Perhaps a campaign of this nature is in order?

Only the dreaded red X

cool! How'd you get it to look like that one soldier is vomiting blood? Gross but cool touch

Hey all the red "x's" have disappeared, wonder why they come and go for?

James; a campaign on a budget is great fun, makes one think about the dio and not just nip down the LHS to see what there is to fill a gap. Check out the "Old Skool Members" thread.

Pickle; The vomit blood was down by gluing a bit of thread to the mouth, cutting it to length and painting. Gross, I didn't do it to shock but to compliment the guys injuries to his throat/upper chest.

Cheers

Robbo-- very cool! How did you get the realistic rust on the AT gun?
thanks

Hey DJ,
The rust on the gun is just that, rust. Take some wire wal and chop it up a bit to make small clumps. Put it in a container and add some vinegar and put a top on the container. leave for a week or so and the wire will be turned to rust. Leave the top off for a while for it to dry out and you are left with a powdery substance. Iused Humbrol rust paint for a bit of depth, wet the area and sprinkle the rust on and voila, rust
