Post Apoc-WIP with Pic(s)

Post by **james+burgundy** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 7:27 pm

Thought I would give everyone here a update on what I have been doing and thought that the best way to do this. Was to post a few work in progress pictures.

This is the burned out building that I have been working on and off for about three weeks.

This is a bill board I made to go with the burned out building.

O and this is what I used to help build.

All this is going to be in one scene but I am kind of brain dead as to how to make it all fit. The building is almost done I also have a road that the bill board goes with but the road only takes about half a gray base plate and I am in need of somthing to fill the empty space. Any Ideas are welcome.

Yeah well the building serves as a out post and i don't really like Mc-d's.

The building's simple, but nice. Try putting more detail in it. It's just bland right now, put some things up to make it seem like it was once a hideout like ladders and things like that.

For next to the road you should make a gas station with broken-down tanker.

OneEye had some great suggestions, but make sure the gas station has a convenience store.

I think that building would make a great hideout for a band of raiders, so there should definitely be skeletons hanging on chains from the windows, and lots of traps on the road outside.

You are right sort of. If i did make a way for them to get up it would be ropes but these people are here only to show scale and because i wanted to make some post apoc people

Great job James, you planning to put a roof or partial roof on that or leave it completly blown out?

Not sure yet right now I am wanting to get the entire fame/skeleton of the place done before I add extra.

I guess i did not say this but that broken building was in back 100% whole it did have a roof four complete floors windows in every spot you see the opening. The whole thing was completely furnished. Wish i took pictures of the first one for you guys.

Gas is flammable, therefore the station would explode on the first battle. Oh wait you said broken-down.

Stop playing so much fallout. Just because they're raiders of some sort does NOT mean that they need to hang up corpses everywhere "just 'cause".

Why NOT! It is the season after all. Just cause works for me.

Why did you even post it if you ended up just making your reply pointless with that last sentence?

Either way, just because a gas station is post-apocalyptic doesn't mean the gas exploded at one time. Gas is wicked valuable in post-apoc, even more so than food in some cases, so the gas would have most likely been siphoned out a long time before.
