Hey,

That seemed the perfect example of a project for terrain builders that get paid by the hour *and* get their materials for free. I'm pretty sure the materials and labour costs represented by that pic was in the thousands of dollars.


am undecided in how to do it

Okay, assuming you're not stupid rich, build-up an Outpost XIII 'base' with Foamcore, one of those Administratum building kits (for the big door), and an Aegis Defence Line for battlements. Then crown the thing with an intact Bastion model that can be used as a separate terrain piece.

Just make sprue 'locator' bosses for the Aegis bits, so they can be used independently, too. This would let you use 1, 2 or 3 pieces for a single terrain model if you like, and you can probably get it together for under a hundred bucks.

HTH
