THE BUNKER - Zone Alfa/Rogue Stars Project (Part 5)

A quick update on the Bunker Project as I managed to complete another two pieces from the excellent CombatZone "Hanley's Hope" Office set. 

Two more sections of the Office complete.

Love the details like the printer and coffee cup etc. 

I have tried to paint the keyboards and monitors in that off white/grey colour that most computers seemed to be in the 80s and 90s.

I've ordered a few of these from Blotz to add to the Bunker. They look like they'll fit nicely with the CombatZone stuff.

THE BUNKER - Zone Alfa/Rogue Stars Project (Part 4)

It's been a while since I have made any progress on "The Bunker" project due to working on a very large War of the Spanish Succession commission. In between battalions I have managed a bit of time to get a few bits painted up and a couple of bits finally finished. 

Computer terminals and a display table from Combat Zone Scenery. Part of their wonderful Alien inspired "Hanley's Hope" range. 

Three scratch built bits of scientific equipment (TBC - any suggestions please put them in the comments). Main sections from the bits box. I think they were from a game my son had when he was younger?

The control sections at the front were made from some spare las guns from a Oshiro Models Grav Truck model. I only had two and Jim very kindly sent me a spare so I could finish these off.

A couple of Storage Tanks made from till roll tubes, screw caps, bits of sprue and control panels from a store on Etsy. 

Wouldn't be a scratch build if I didn't include Hubba Bubba packaging! I think I have about 12 of these in total now.

Added a control panel, again from Etsy.

I think I have another 4 to make so after that I'll call that enough as I'll have enough to fill a large Power Supply Chamber.

Next up for this project will be some more of the "Hanley's Hope" stuff from Combat Zone Scenery.

OTTOMAN ARTILLERY - Napoleonic Naval Crew Version

As mentioned in the previous post I plan to use these for various settings that we game. As I had finished the Royal Navy crews I thought I would set up the battery with these figures and see what it looked like. All figures are from Newline Designs Napoleonic Naval range.
