I've been wanting to try my hand at scratchbuilding a shanty building for quite a while now. It wasn't until recently that I managed to assemble the critical mass of raw materials to embark upon this effort. A bits order to Ramshackle Games gave me a goodly pile of doors, junk, machinery and smokestacks. To that I added a big pile of leftover Deadzone plastic pieces and scrap plasticard from a friend. Then last weekend, I started building. I went with a fairly simple design to start with: a two story compound with an overhanging balcony. I basically glued two low, square cardboard boxes atop each other, then wallpapered the structure with a hodgepodge of plasticard, balsa strips, Deadzone bits, Ramshackle bits and other assorted pieces of junk. Here is what I came up with.

That's very nice. In a grungy post-apocalyptic way, of course. Atmospheric, detailed yet playable. |

Very well done! A step by step walk through of your next building would be great. |

It's not a full walkthrough, but there's some construction details and a picture before painting on the blog.
