This is a set of three Bad Moon shanty town structures: a mekaniak'z garage, a runtherd'z hut, and Squigoth & Co'z Make-a-nerium.

Photographed with a hair tugging mad boy and a grot for scale. These structures are made of cardboard, joint compound, mesh, perforated metal, toothpicks, pvc elbow joints and are based on foam.

Instead of designing and building I let out my inner mekaniak and got stuck in; each of these structures came together as the parts best fit, I made sense of it as they came together.

The factory was the final piece, made obvious by it's odd design. I couldn't control him anymore, my inner mekaniak took the reins and built a monument to the majestic squiggoth.

The paint jobs lacked luster as I'd started this project without washes, but as you can see vellejo's terra europa really brought the yellow to life. Yellow feels like such a difficult color by itself, but when it's weathered it's a fantastic base color. Then again I never bought in to the muting of colors that the 'Eavy Metal team turned to, long live the brilliant early 90's comic book colors.
