Crazy Emu's Used Tank Blowout!

I've got a crap ton of 1/72 modern Russian tank model kits that I'm not going to be needing. All are unassembled, though a few have been opened to examine the kits. I'd like to sell them off, if I can. Feel free to email me on the email in my profile to ask what is available.

I'm looking to get about $8 a model and will ship actual postage. I'll consider offers for the whole pile.

I have the following -

Sorry for the glare. It was hard enough to get all the tanks into a single picture.

Thanks for considering,

Terrain Lab - More Pizza Box Fields



15mm Battlefront WW2 German Paratroopers

A while back I posted a few experimental garden patches made out of the corrugated paper liners found in many delivery pizza boxes. I got mine from Pizza Hut and am not sure who else carries them. I've been planning to try to scale the gardens up a bit since then but until recently hadn't given it a go as I had misplaced my larger pieces of the corrugated paper.

20mm(1/72) Easy Model Prepainted BTR-80

Unfortunately, the piece that I found did have some flattened parts and a pretty deep score across it, but I decided to try it anyhow and to disguise these defects as best I could. I think the end result is pretty good and as the pictures show is usable in any scale from 15mm to 28mm without a lot of fudging needed.

The techniques used were the same as used in the initial smaller patches just spread out over a larger projects. I did find that the larger piece of cardboard did want to box slightly, however, after the series of spray sealer had dried I found the whole piece was quite flexible and easily bent back to where it would sit flat. You might need to repeat this a few times. As you use it, just give it a quick bend to flatten it. Over time it will stop trying to pull back.

Give it a try all you pizza-eaters out there!

Terrain Lab - Overgrown Hedges

 

Another quick build here, these hedges were done using scraps or card and styro for the understructure. I painted the styro grey and washed it with a dark brown before dipping the whole affair in loose model foliage. I hot glued a trie into each one to enhance the overgrown look.


Have fun!

Two Hours and Two Pizza Boxes

A couple of years back I was faced with the task of trying to cobble up a serviceable town to fight a FOW of game in. Not having a ton of supplies on hand, but not wanting to disappoint, I grabbed my hot glue gun and a couple of handy pizza boxes and in a flurry of cutting and sticking, came up with this, Kardograd.

It's not the prettiest or most precise construction and really was intended to get terrain on the table in a short amount of time, but I really do think it's time to try and dress it up and finish it a bit, even if that just means throwing on some paint and some rubble.

What makes this project, as old as it is, still stick out for me is the speed and overall effectiveness of the initial build. I found that regular cardboard pizza boxes are nearly perfect for designing terrain for 15-20mm figures. The side parts of the boxes are about one story high and if you pre-measure the larger flat parts, you can easily estimate and eyeball the rest. It took me two hours from beginning to end on everything you see in the picture above. I could have continued on to do more, but I didn't want to build more than I could store.

The pictures above shows how simple the multi-level construction throws together. The hot glue made attaching the walls and floors super easy and fast. No waiting for drying or complicated pinning or framing. The glue holds tight and strong and repairs easily. Any leftover globs will be worked into the rubble and general clutter of the terrain. Where walls needed extra bracing at the base, I put in stacked cuts of card that will eventually be covered with rubble build-up.

Kardograd is quick and dirty terrain building at it's best, if you ask me.

Take care,

-Eli
