Roswell ’98: Gas Station Terrain

This larger piece turned out a little better after some lessons learned on those other buildings. Mainly…don’t add a graffiti transfer over paper… for now anyway. Ha! As my post apocalyptic setting takes place in New Mexico, I thought it would make sense to go with a regional gas station, so Allsup’s it is.

Here we can see how much cleaner graffiti transfer is on just a wall. So much nicer. The front gas pump section can be removed as can all three roofs. I think for my purposes though it’ll all stay together.

I always wanted to do a run on a wall of promotional album posters like one would see back in the day, and here I went with a 1998 release that kinda has an alien invasion theme… More Trouble Than They’re Worth by Sloppy Seconds. Sadly the junk rock kings, Sloppy Seconds, weren’t popular enough to warrant this sort of extensive marketing, but hey, it’s my fantasy world. 😉

I think I’m going to take a break on buildings for a bit and see if I can find some decently scaled road pieces. I’ve also got some ideas for some other scatter terrain but that might wait until later into 2025. I’ve got a few other projects to tie a bow on for the Better Off Lead event I’m going to run for some buddies in November. I hope to post some pics from that event later this year.

So, what do you think. This building turned out better than the others?

  1. Very cool looking pair of buildings there. I think I prefer the petrol station aesthetically but the larger building for gameplay options. Having both gives the best of both worlds I think! 😄

    Are they scratch builds or STLs?

    • Thanks! Yeah, it’s one building but can be deployed a few different ways.

      Sadly, it is indeed a 3d printed object I picked up from Etsy. I’m not the biggest fan of 3d prints, but 1/72 terrain is kinda hard to come by and I have too many projects I want to wrap up to do scratch building, so this is a printed building is concession I have to make.

      • Males sense. I’ve recently picked up a printer for just that sort of reason. Specific terrain pieces and accessories and such that just don’t exist otherwise.
