Having recently finished the figures from "The Good, The Bad and The Mutie", the starter set for Strontium Dog, published by Warlord Games/ Rebellion, it was high time I set to on the terrain that comes with the set too. I have some experience with MDF buildings, so was not concerned about the usual things you see on social media about the MDF soaking up paint, warping and so on. Thus, "set to" I have done!
In the set, you get a basic dwelling-cum-office, a generator and windmill to accompany the dwelling-cum-office, an observation tower and four solar panels, all in an easy-to-build mix of MDF and card. They are form the Sarissa Precision range of kits, which cover various eras and locales, and the wider range includes several other suitable kits in what is akin to their post-apocalyptic range. I will be adding a few in due course.
So, I sprayed on an undercoat, selected Army Painter Green as my basecoat and then weathered and highlighted up to taste. I wanted a dusty, arid environment for "Scum's World", my fictional planet on which to stage my SD games, so all effects and basing considerations were built around this. I am pretty happy with the results, but have a look and see what you think. All I need to do now is actually make some arid terrain tiles, or at least acquire a suitable cloth or something, as I have no other arid/ desert terrain on which to plonk these kits!

| The base is 3mm MDF, not supplied with the kit but sourced from my stash. The texturing is small grade model railway ballast stuck down with PVA glue, painted and sparsely flocked. |
 |
| I glazed the windows to give this palatial abode something like a civilised feel. The building may be from a post-apocalyptic range, but I did not want that for this use. |
 |
| Four solar panels should be more than enough for the needs of a simple "shack". |
 |
| I guess the watchtower is to look out for supply vehicles, dust storms, hostiles and anything else the occupants might desire/ fear. |
