So, I've been talking about all this stuff you can build with foam core. Well, it's time to show you some of the things I've done. Maybe you'll get inspired!
Desert buildings. Note the one at the far right front. That's basically the basic building we built last time with the bottom of a plastic easter egg on top.
Similar buildings with an industrial look. The little factory in front is just foamcore with a couple of short PVC pipe fittings.
Desert ruins... Note that their bases are L-shaped. That way I can fit them together to make bigger building footprints...
Of course, wall rubble makes great barricades and can represent even more demolished buildings.
Talking about Planetstrike, does that look like it could be a Skyshield landing pad to you? It's a whole lot cheaper...
And maybe those could be defensive walls around a bunker. How many foamcore defensive lines do you think you can get out of $20 worth of foamcore?
These are bridges. Some are meant as river crossing bridges. The rear ones were meant to be between buildings but several strung together make a great elevated monorail track.
Watch out for the scraps you cut out while making something. These were left over from the monorails. I slapped them on a base and now they're Imperial message boards. Some people like the Imperium and some people don't...
Now these are city walls! Constantinople had nothing on these bad boys!
But if you need something for a small fort or a compound, these'll work nicely, too.
This is one of my biggest pieces. This factory has a 15x15" footprint. It's foamcore with some plasticard on the doors and PVC pipes for tubes and smokestacks.
And lastly, you've seen these before. Who says you're restricted to blocky Imperial architecture?
So, I hope you got some ideas from this. when it comes to foamcore, you're pretty much limited by the thickness of the foamcore and your imagination (and maybe the size of your graph paper but you can buy that bigger!) so get out your pencils. Get drawing, get gluing and get cutting!
