Terrain is everything - Adeptus Titanicus Buildings and Ruins

Afternoon #Warhammer Community I've been working on these MDF buildings and ruins for Adeptus Titanicus for ages. I wanted to upgrade the simple design with the rooftops and edges but also use acetate in the windows with LED tea lights, which has made basing them somewhat challenging.  


After adding the usual extra card details to hide the MDF construction I also fitted out the roofs with some cross-stitch fabric for texture, some reinforcements and a variety of toy bits to create AC vents, lookout bunkers or access hatches. Just some kind of greeblie to make them interesting. I wanted to prime these with a paint before I used any spray primer. MDF is notoriously thirsty for sprays. So I mixed up a black masonry paint, some PVA and a small amount of the finest sand for a bit of texture.


Now the sand was a mistake, as even though I tried to sieve it to get only the smallest grains it added far too much texture. And, even trying to scrape them off proved my paint/PVA combo was rock hard and the larger grains refused to budge.


Also, I had some spare bits which allowed me to create some additional ruined pieces but these were slow going in deciding how to do them, which further delayed the buildings themselves.


But it's more terrain and if can get the Cerastus Knights done I might be able to round out my hobby season with these.


More importantly I'd then be able to take them to Otty's shed, to go with the rest of the AT terrain. 


They currently take up a lot of space in my shelves and it'd be nice to have that space back for my next set of projects.


 Great Big Chrome 'BIG BUILD' Stamps of Approval.


Oh, and there's a piece of TT-Combat scatter terrain of a plasma generator that I think might work in AT as well. I added some additional banding on the outer arch with some gemstone 'rivets' and a gemstone light on the inside.
