In most sci-fi models you will see mysterious pipes, panels, valves and free-flowing cables. This may cause some more technically-educated observers to rise their eyebrows but...

Sci-fi silos

… in the spirit of Warhammer 40k I will answer to that:

Forget the promise of the Dark Age of Technology! In the 40th Millennium only the light of the Omnissaiah Emperor can save you from the laughter of the thirsty gods of corruption!

If, after a careful chanting of the Litany of the Ducts and making a proper incensation, the Imperial Tarot showed this and no other layout of the pipes, so it shall be constructed or your soul is doomed to eternal damnation!

If you have a different opinion you are advised to consult your local inquisitor.

How to paint fire
The trick is to think backward. Normally you paint shadows in the recesses of a model and then highlights on the edges emphasising how the external light plays on the shape. Fire has a light of its own and so the roles are reversed and the deeper you go, the lighter it will be. »

Bunkers Mk. 2 - pure cardboard solution for mass production
My original imperial bunkers from early 2000s oozing dark technology with pipes and gubbinz are fun but sometimes you want a more streamlined design. I came up with a bunker modification that allows building a lot of them in a batch. Useful not only for wargaming but also crafting projects for kids. »
