Re-Education Centre Cont...

Well, Meatspace has been catching up with me recently, but work has not completely stopped. Aside from my ongoing work on my Imperial Guard I have expanded the Re-Education Centre by adding a second floor. This includes a balcony to the front. In line with my drive for "accuracy" you might think I've forgotten to provide a door out to the balcony, but the first floor doesn't extend as far as the ground floor - suggesting that the door would have been in the now ruined section. The same could be said of the stairs, and I suppose this should be taken into account when it comes to adding rubble and the like!


When adding extra parts (an entire storey in this case) it's important to keep the continuity of the story of the building. What this means is to ensure that damage flows through as you might expect. Looking at the first image below you can see the the bottom of the first floor (that's the top one because I'm not American!) has no damage, even though it sits above the quite damaged ground floor (that's the bottom one for any Americans reading!). This just wouldn't do, so I attacked the new part of the building with a pair of clippers. I think that it is this sort of minor attention to detail that is easily missed, but can make a big difference to the "believe-ability" of the buildings.

Re-Education Centre

Surely every outpost needs a Re-Education Centre. Where those with wayward thoughts or actions can be (re)schooled in the correct ways of the Imperium! Well, I thought so anyway, and got cracking on another building, still eating away at those parts in the big city boxed set, which is still posing lots of questions as to how I am going to use all of these parts! Mostly though, I just wanted to make a home for the new Brain Pump, no doubt a key piece of kit for helping those misguided individuals! As you can see, I haven't blown loads of pieces on a complicated or large plan for the building, as I want to try and make lots of buildings rather than one mega one!

I decided again that one half of the building would be mostly intact, whilst the other half would have suffered the damage, so set about the wall and floor sections with that in mind. I hadn't really thought much about what was happening on any further floors yet, so I decided to just put some balcony sections for now and work out the rest another time.

The Brain Pump fits neatly into the ground floor, perfect for fast and effecting "teaching"... no waiting.

You'll notice that the base for this building is a lot wider and this will allow me to build up rubble around the foot of the walls.
