I'm not sure how big were the actual buildings used, in order to figure out what a 1/100 version would be like.

But, in case any of you was looking for images or screencaps, to make their own version of the camp …

The corrugated metal is a little "thicker"(?) than I'm used to seeing, which interferes a little with figuring out overall dimensions:

Here's an overhead view of the "cyclops" seismic sensor:

Anyway, enjoy!

Weird, I didn't think it was that small

EDIT:

Using the door as a 3' reference, I would say its about 25' wide and 11-12' tall for the main building and about 12' wide 9' tall for the smaller addon building

Solar panels are in 4.5'x3' blocks with 8 blocks each on a 12' pole

Sensor has about a 10-11' base

Plastruct Ribbed Roof Sheet should do the trick for the walls.

Excellent! Thanks so much.

As for why it felt like it was a bigger structure, I think it's simply deeper, going some distance into that rock formation.

Yeah, that's the ticket!

Now if we could just get someone to produce some of those puppy-dogs in 15mm.

BTW: what models you thinking about using for the bounty hunters and Riddick and crew?

Great movie!
Good luck CC with this.

Thanks!

As for models, since I was more interested in the small camp than in making it a Riddick thing, they will be a combination of GZG colonists, Splintered Light SF crew and Rebel Minis survivalists.

They will be part of an outpost that just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
