Blizzards suck for mining

I'm back, and I'm sharing....



Here's some pics from my latest build. It was a rewarding and challenging set for a blizzard world, with an abandoned mining complex. I built a mining station, a hab, a dice tower, in the shape of a surveyors mountain, and some hills and such. It was a blast, but I am sick of the smell of baking soda...lol

Please enjoy my madness....

here we see a perspective shot of the main piece. it is a giant. it has the feel of an abandoned fuel depot, as well a small supply station along with the massive drill.







Here we see a front shot, with abandoned crates and such...



Here is a close up, from the fuel line walkway, by the boiler, that lights up!



Here is a back shot, with one of the control stations. The roof is removable so you can see the detail, below the grates better.



Here is my hab. Ah.... Hab, sweet Hab. No wonder they left!
Here is a front shot.


Here is a shot of the sat dish on the hab.... Even when freezing your boys off you still need to call home.


Here is a back shot, with the loading dock.


In other news, i have finally set up my prints, on deviant art, so now you can purchase prints of any of my artwork.If you haven't checked it out yet, please do!
Humbly,

Mining Rig #619

Well hey howdy, and welcome to another post from your friendly underground artist Saw. I have been getting alot of compliments on my mining rig...Thank you. With that theme in mind....
You were picking up what I was putting down..... alright! You wanted more pics of the rig, well here you go, you animals!







That little baby was a 6 Mo. labor of love. I would be stumped for a while on how to build something, then work it through, only o get another challenge. I was partly inspired by the TV show " The deadliest catch", as I thought they would live on these rigs, as well as work on them for long periods, in harsh conditions. Almost like a land boat... A really big one, built on a super heavy Tank chassis.



Here is the MULE support mining car.



It fits in the mine tunnels and does all the heavy lifting.


Now I'm off to work more on the mine sections....


Soon the Necron will break through... poor miners!
