Niðavellir Shipyard: September 2013

Niðavellir Shipyard

The Nidavellir Shipyard is a large UCM Shipyard hidden far away from any planetary system.
After the scattering of humans after the first Scourge attack many ships used their ftl drives and made an random Foldspace jump just to get away. Many of this ships found themselves alone in the dark, to close to a star or a black hole and perished but some made it to an empty place in space. And that’s how the Nidavellir belt was discovered. A collection of large rocks, asteroids in different sizes and collection of dust and sand. Exactly how this place come to be, far from any sun, placed in between systems is not known. It is believed it was created after an extremely unlikely collision of two larger celestial body, with no stronger gravity pull in the vicinity this collection of minerals and rocks have held together by their own combined pull of each other. The scatter of large rocks and the natural background radioactivity have created a hiding place. After the survivors made contact with the now formed UCM the area have been put to good use.

Named after the Norse mythology Nidavellir, the world of the dwarves, for its rich mineral and metal resources. Perfectly for foundries and a large shipyard complex.

This is the place to produce ships...

Pimp das auto

Just for fun I painted this small car. Its ment as a terrain piece in Dropzone Commander which is a 10mm game so this is a small piece.

The model is a prepainted railway piece that I pimped. Sorry I dont remember the exact scale. I didn´t have any references on the paintjob, just freehanded.

It is somewhat fun to be in between major projects as you can easily paint this sort of stuff.

Dropzone Commander – Shaltari

Watching my friends game some Dropzone Commander a couple of weeks ago I did get a litle interested to restart the game. It’s a interesting game and I already got some miniatures so it would be a shame not to use them.

This is what I got painted at the moment for my small Shaltari force.
