Urban setting for the Tartarus Rim: Landing on Proserpine

[symphonicpoet]

About a year and a half ago my wife bought me a bunch of TT Combat MDF scenery for my birthday. I'm making slow, but steady progress through them. They're all a part of the "Sci-Fi Gothic" line, and most are the "Stack City" kits. My theory is that they can serves as an area near the primary spaceport on Proserpine simply called "Landing."





I added dollhouse hinges to the doors to make them practical.



This is going to be a pizza shop for a particular hunchbacked fellow from Curtis Fell. One experiment is staining the floor with ink and varnishing it with a gloss acrylic. The ink raised the grain of the MDF quite a lot, so it took tons and tons of gloss to coat it. I ended up using a gloss lacquer I had in a rattle can, as the acrylic simply wasn't cutting it.



Like the sushi/noodle shop across the market I decided to try gluing a printout of some public domain art for a wall decoration. Every restaurant has a mural, right?

i'm pleased to see this expanding.

A little more progress . . .

I should weather it and add some more details, but I think it's getting pretty close now.




And just because all the doors work . . .


Here's what it might look like to an extent in context . . .


Though there will be many more buildings yet, and some walkways to add additional levels. But with some set dressing I think it will work out all right.





(He really does need a better place for that keg, though. The top of an oven is probably not ideal.)

Oh, and as a final extra bonus: There's space to land a small craft on the roof of the tower block.
