Tutorial - Dark Angel Terrain

Hello!

Welcome to our first in-depth tutorial.
By subscribers request, here is a tutorial on some easy to make Dark Angels terrain.
There will be 4 parts to this tutorial, this is the first part.


Dark Angels Terrain Part 1: The Interrogation Chamber

If you do not have the materials that I used for this project, I have supplied alternatives for you.

For this tutorial I have used:

Foamboard / Corrugated Cardboard
Plasticard / Cereal Box Cardboard
Glue gun / PVA Glue
Protractor / Anything to measure angles…or guess.
Ruler
Paints


Step 1 – The walls


• To make the walls of your interrogation chamber, grab your foamboard [if you do not have this, you can use thick card or corrugated cardboard].

• Measure out 8 rectangles: 4” x 2”

Step 2 – Detailing the walls



• Grab a thin piece of plasticard [or thin card] and measure out 16 sections, the same size as your walls

Photobucket


• Shorten the length of 8 pieces [interior walls] by the thickness of your floor [step 3]

• Trace a gothic design onto 7 of the tiles, a door on 1 tile and cut out the detailing with a knife

Photobucket

• I detailed the outside walls differently, if you want to use the same design that is fine.

Photobucket

• Cut out each panel once this is done – it is easier to cut the detailing out first.

• Glue these onto the wall sections.


Step 3 – The Floor


• To make the floor, draw out an octagon with 2” sides onto your foamboard and cut it out. [Do this twice – once for the roof]

• Each interior angle should measure 135 degrees

Photobucket

• Use a pen to indent a design on to the floor, if you used corrugated card you can create a design using a thinner card like a cereal box – glue this into place.

• Check that the wall tiles fit correctly, but it is easier to paint them individually, so glue them once you are finished.

Step 4 – The roof/ Landspeeder landing zone


• Grab the roof section that you cut out earlier

• Measure out 8 walls: 2” x 2.5cm

• As with the walls, feel free to detail them with plasticard

• Cut an octagon out of plastic mesh/granny grating for a metal grating effect
[you can get this at knitting shops and is called 'plastic mesh'
Photobucket

• Glue all roof sections together

Step 5 – Interior Items


• Make a chair out of plasticard, or you could even use spare parts. The restraints were the end of a guitar string.

• Make a table out of plasticard

• A confessions book was made out of plasticard and greenstuff

Step 6 – Finnishing



• Fill any gaps with filler, take the items outside and coat them in spray paint

• Once this has dried, paint the walls, details, and interior items how you want to:

• For this tutorial:
• Walls – Chardon Granite [dark murky grey], Adeptus Battle Grey [lighter grey]
Photobucket

• Details – Necron Abyss [Dark Blue] Highlighted gradually with white

• Roof – Gold and green



• Glue everything together
