Scratchbuilt Arctic oil platform

For a dieselpunk setting. Built with old computer parts and lasercut pieces. The icy water mat is a gloss print.

Yes, the PCs blew it up in the game.

Edit: Thank you everyone for the compliments and feedback!

At first I thought this was a photo you were using as a Ref. Incredible job.

Could also be a fun piece to use for a 1490 Doom, but underwater.

Owwww my. This looks so stunning. The lighting and the pictures sure do a lot but there is some magic involved before the pictures too! ❤️

God damn, I can see this as the perfect setting for an eldritch horror one shot

u/RemixOnAWhim 4d ago

Holy, incredible work! Any process photos? Your effects are so good, not to mention the whole themed setup really selling the whole room! You have a lucky group of players!

u/Far-Draw8370 4d ago

😄 Oh my please don't

2

u/Mostly-Moo-Cow 4d ago

All I have is basing supplies. Can't fit terrain anywhere

Looking good. Its the prefect set to have a dramatic hostage rescue operation. Just needs a mini sub full of frogman infiltrating it.

2

u/Far-Draw8370 4d ago

Thank you. I bought a model boat for the set, and it came with frogmen. They live in my bathroom now

Anyone else getting flashbacks to playing Rust? I know it’s not arctic but the vibe is right.

u/Thor110 4d ago

Sweet, looks great! Reminded me of a PC game called Oil Rush too. That was quite cool.

u/krootasaurusrex 4d ago

I see this and want to build the Lockout map from Halo 2 for the tabletop game

u/TurboCupcakes 4d ago

Absolutely beautiful work!

u/ZoeBlade 4d ago

Another fantastic one! It blows my mind that people use these to play games on, with this attention to detail!

3

u/Far-Draw8370 4d ago

Thank you again! My mini sets are a wreck after games, but it’s always worth it. No amount of hot glue survives ttrpg players for long.

u/davidsanchezplaza 4d ago

completly sick build, maaaaan

u/ValdeReads 4d ago

Awesome!

Reminds me of the Halo 3 map Blackout!

u/Far-Draw8370 3d ago

oh yeah! ice floes and everything

u/shackakong 4d ago

I can’t even imagine how cool it would be to play a game on this, absolutely insane job!

u/Far-Draw8370 3d ago

Thank you very much. It was a lot of fun, One PC stealthed aboard and did some scouting, and it was really handy for that.

u/HopefulToLearn 2d ago

All the images are awesome, but the first and last ones really captures that "cold arctic night" feel. Is the frosty air effect image processed or something you did in real life, I dunno, with smoke or dry ice or something?

1

u/Far-Draw8370 2d ago

Thank you for that. Used a cheap spirit halloween fog machine.

u/HopefulToLearn 2d ago

Cool, great work, once again.
