Looks great! Amazing little set for Necromunda.

Ha! Was actually painting mine last night. Had primed in grey and white, then a speed paint grey. Unfortunately then spilled far more copper paint into pallete due to a bunged nozzle. So now the panels are going from a copper metallic to being grubbied, thanks to circumstance.

You are by far my favorite KZreadr. Thank you for the excellent content, and overall positive attitude. You sir are a Legend!

Thank you kindly! Very nice of you to say. :D

The uneven burnt umber undercoat does look great on its own; but then, each subsequent stage looked ready to hit the tabletop.

That's the thing I really like about this method, honestly. Past a point you're just doing finishing touches; if you want to fill a table with terrain you can do it super quickly.

Damn dude that looks solid! I'll be checking out more of your stuff for sure

Oooo i love this, great work.

Dear Troy, Outstanding!

Really useful. Just assembled some of these.

The set is very interesting looking and it nice to see you can make different combinations of structures with the kit. The painting looks great and I like the idea of not having to use a shade. Thanks for sharing this.

You could come back with a shade and darken some panels individually, but both for amount of shade you'd need and the time saved in not having to wait for it to dry? Nah, nuts to that!

I backed their terrain kickstarters (and their dreadball, deadzone, mars attacks, dungeon saga, and star saga... god damn their KS got a lot of money from me...) and so have enough of this stuff to fill a 6x4 table several stories high. It's really good for what it is. It can look a little blocky so needs to be used in a setting where that's appropriate. Thankfully that's most sci-fi settings on tabletop haha. You do want to avoid brushing on washes though since it's all flat surfaces yeah but oil washes through airbrush with large sponges to pass over it quickly can work well. This method is probably better though imo. There are airbrush templates designed specifically for this terrain which works great for adding detail too.

I swear there was an echo of Bob Ross in this video..."your yellow...or red or blue, whatever colour your using" seriously thought you were going to follow up with "You can do anything you want to do. This is your world" or "We don't make mistakes. We just have happy accidents." ....anyways awesome video as ever. 👍😃

Good call!

Mantic has some modern-day urban terrain they produce for their Walking Dead game. I purchased three sets and modified them to represent post-apocalyptic ruins and they worked great. I just used cheap acrylic paints and some washes and they turned out really nice. I actually still have a few ruined walls I never got around to fully painting. They are pretty nice and since they're modular you can make some rather large structures if you have enough sets.

Nice... I need those brushes

This is awesome. Ive got a bunch of terrain to paint and this tutorial hit the spot.

Thanks for turning me on to this had never even heard of it and the kit brings back those old "model with options" feels. Love that paintbrush holder!

It's a neat box of plastic you can really play around with, so there's a good chance you could make whatever you're thinking from it. That's even without pulling out the clippers and chopping it up!

Given that Mantic is releasing Version 3 of Deadzone next month this is a very timely video! Plus I'm just starting to put this kit together.

Thank you , Sonic .

Cracking work this looks a fantastic set!

It really is! It's been a lot of fun throwing parts together and taking a bash at painting a grungier, more dirty look than the box art. :D

Thanks for this tutorial! I was in on the Deadzone Kickstarter and got a ton of this kind of terrain. Didn't have anywhere to play at home and since I would only get in any kind of gaming at the FLGS anyhow, I sold it to them. It sat unused for nearly a year, and even though I've got just about everything BattleSystems makes, I bought back the Mantic stuff to use for my solo skirmish gaming. Now that I have a small airbrush system I can at least get these things primed so they can be painted.

Cool 😎 thank you 😊

And the game is excellent.

Fun bonus fact regarding this and Cities of Death: the founder of Mantic, Ronnie Renton, is the person behind the original CoD release and these clip-together kits are made the way they are specifically because he felt the CoD buildings lacked modularity.

@SonicSledgehammerStudio

Huh! Now that I did not know. Honestly, I'm surprised by the 'lack of modularity' idea - the Cities of Death stuff was bonkers for what you could do with it, but I can see there's even more going with the Terrain Crate buildings.

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Maybe 'not enough modular' would be more accurate. I remember him saying something to that effect in some sort of interview years back. Anyway, the original CoD buildings were pretty cool, but mostly just for corner ruins - things started getting a bit tricky and required a hacksaw as soon as you tried to do an intact structure or anything out of the ordinary. This Mantic stuff is great for both intact structures and ruins.

I know I’m showing my age here, but add a clear plastic door in the center of the piece, a few large chunky buttons on the lower mesh grill, and it would look just like an old boom box cassette player……

Someone mentioned to me that it looks like a dead graphics card, which I can see, but I can see the boom box comparison even more clearly! 🤣

If you hadn't said, I would have thought you left the inside a different colour because it looks better with a different inside and outside :D

Sometimes you'll find people can be oddly precious about whether or not you've 'missed' something! Helps to be clear that it was deliberate. ;D

Interesting video. I really enjoy what you made out of it, even if the unpainted buildings failed to get me excited. Somehow I was unable to see their potential

These I'd glued together. You could leave them clip together, I guess, but I don't know how stable they'd be while painting unless you did it in segments.

lovely video! whats the height of each panel??

The panels are 3 inches high, and are dimensions of 3 inch by 3 inch by 3 inch, as the game is played on 3"x3"x3" cubes. The railings are probably like 1-1.5 inches high.
