Sleep Box Sleep for Cheap in the Undertown!

 Sleep Box!

This is a single piece resin cast from Antenocitis Workshop.

Sleep Box is a street-side, automated, place to crash for the night with a capacity for two people.  You can easily put one in a standard parking space.

I decided to go with a warm yellow orange color scheme to make them stand out in the grim, grey, Undertown. These are a step down from the Tenement and offer zero personalization... except to the exterior... Sorry the lifestyle you ordered is currently out of stock... and some shotgun damage.  It pays for these things to be sturdy in the rough and tumble of the Undertown.











These were sprayed white washed with Sun Yellow and Lantern Yellow (Reaper) then stippled in Yellow Shade (Reaper) the windows are Silver (Vallejo) with Aqua Wash (Secret Weapon.  These required no assembly or cleanup just a quick scrub before a Rustoleum White Paint +Primer.

They come with photo print adverts but no "Sleep Box" text so I printed Sleep Box in 18 Font out of notepad. The cool "Sorry..." decal is also available from Antenocitis Woprkshop.

Let there be light! The Undertown illuminated.

The Undertown has lights in the form of LED Keychain Torches blutacked to the ceilings.  These provide about 12 continuous hours of illumination.  The batteries are replaceable but it may be cheaper to just replace the whole torch when as required. I got them from Amazon for around $0.50 each including shipping in lots of 20.

The lights make a big difference even when the room is fully lit.  Interior details can be seen through the windows in rooms that were otherwise in full shadow.

Whiskey Jacks gets great effects in the main saloon and through the slits of the armored windows windows and doors of the back office.

 Following are a lot of pictures of the various buildings of the Undertown where some buildings are illuminated and others in the photo are not.  The difference really jumps out. There some pictures of the fully illuminated table in various ambient light states.  At the end are a couple of shots of the A-Z Mart (weathered) which is pretty eerie looking.

 All of these buildings, most of the scatter terrain, and the game mat are from Antenocitis Workshop.

Undertown Table progress and Post Apoc scatter

The current state of the Undertown Table. 

I've mislaid the LED lights so am skipping them for now as they will be an easy retrofit. The Data Trust is not pictured here as its currently getting the interior resins done.

 This is for Sci-Fi settings like Infinity (Its actually a Made for Infinity Line from Antenocitis' Workshop ) Warpath, Deadzone, Cyberpunk, etc... It'll, of course, work for the Grimdark of 40K, Kill Squad, and Inquisitor as well... with a few Gothic doodads added to represent the presence of the Imperium... ya know like confession booths or an incongruously ornate religious structure... maybe a big old statue of some Imperial saint or space marine.... that sort of buisiness.

 Since all the buildings have playable interiors there is a lot of flexibility between war games and RPGs.

I'm actually thinking about running a game based around the Death High series of miniatures from Kingdom Death. which are cool contemporary and near future themes that would be at home in any High School Supernatural, Horror, or Martial Arts romantic comedy... probably great characters for Vampire the Masquerade as well.

 I'm separating the terrain out by genre to see what is ready for play... the Undertown is in pretty good shape, the Forward Base needs a lot of work and the Post Apocalypse segment is just getting started.

 Speaking of the Post Apocalypse setting... here are a couple more wrecked vehicles, some recycling bins, and some very weathered payphones...

 Lots of weathering opportunities here... the recycle bins where painted Lemon Yellow (Reaper) over white primer, washed with Yellow Snow (Secret Weapon), and lined with Flesh Wash (Secret Weapon) lettering by Sharpie.

The Cars were both primered with Rustoleum Almond White and brushed up with Solid White (Craftsmart) weathering was accomplished with the Rust Series... Brown, Red, and Yellow (Secret Weapon) Silver (Vallejo) and Medium Earth and Orange Rust weathering powders (Forge World).

 Lining by Sharpie.  Window Glass Silver (Vallejo) base thin Armor Wash(Secret Weapon) Stormcloud (Secret Weapon) re-brush with silver. A lot of the rust here is intended to represent shotgun impacts but I really should be using references for those...

The Hood of the car on its side was unstable in the semi-open position so I propped it open with some cut down toothpicks... you can just see one here.

 The cars here are from Antenocitis' Workshops as are the bins and payphones.

The Payphones are heavily weathered using a stippling technique.  Brown Rust (Secret Weapon) stippled over Black Primer (Krylon Camoflage Black) Tropical Blue (Reaper) stippled over that wash with Armour Wash (Secret Weapon) stipple and dry-brush Silver (Vallejo).

Most of my immediate effort will be directed at the interior resins of the Data Trust... which will finish off the currently constructed Undertown building interiors save for LEDs.  I may sidestep into a couple of Post Apoc buildings next even though some Forward Base is already in the clean and prep queue... Squirrel!

Whiskey Jacks interior

 Whiskey Jacks got a face-lift this week  as part of the big retrofit of interior resin bits courtesy of a mislabeled box in my workshop.  The unfortunate bit is that I was also expecting to find led lights for the interiors of these and they were not in the box... the hunt is on!

The main Bar area got liquor shelves a cashier station, what looks like an off-track betting interface, 2 TV Screens, 3 interactive tables, and 6 seats.

 The resin is glued in place if attached to a wall (TV screens, cabinets, showers, etc) and attached with magnets for stuff that sticks into the room (beds, tables, chairs, coffee stations, etc...) or that might be good to remove for mini placement in some games.  There is also some kind of exterior machinery or power panel with a screen and number pad you can see in the picture below.

 The office space... which in retrospect should probably have been a kitchen... got a coffee station, cashier's interface, and a TV screen.

Being a sparsely furnished area I imagine it works more like a VIP room for dancers so it got some poster-style decorations from a Haganai cel phone deco set.  Featuring Sena and Kobato.  So I guess its now a cosplay Bar too!

 There is an apartment above the Bar that is smaller than a tenement room but furnished similarly to a flat with a shower, toilet, sink, TV, environment control, and a full size bed.  It might be an owner/operator living space, a VIP room, or just a room for rent.  Of course being situated directly above the Bar would make it a pretty loud place to sleep... even for the Undertown.

Next up are the interior resins for the Data Trust, which also includes a metal model drone to park on its roof, and a pair of SleepBox small format rentable rooms that can be deployed practically anywhere... like sidewalks or parking spaces... and are self serve.

Undertown Flats... the interior spaces...

 The interior resin for the Undertown Flats from Antenociti's Workshop are installed. 

These are from the Undertown Kickstarter and I believe the models have since been redesigned to replace the resin components with MDF and printed graphics.  Honestly I love the resin bits but the kit redesigns are faster and easier to build and leave more space available for mini placement... so for game-play probably a net improvement.

 Above are most of the elements in progress.  As the Flats are more upscale than the more "barracks like" tenements I thought I'd play with color coordinated interiors a bit... kind of in the vein of "Personalize your flat to your unique style and taste by selecting one of three standard color variations" Not high end, but a little enough above the chaff to feel like you have something to lose, the golden chains of corporate employment.

 Each Flat occupies a full level of the building and is accessible via elevator.  They are equipped with a bed big enough to share, a food storage and prep station a table that doubles as an entertainment/communication system, two bench chairs, a life support panel, one large and one small video screen a shower/general hygiene unit, a toilet and a sink.  A HUGE improvement over the equipment available to residents of the Tenements.

 The resin was washed, primed with Krylon Camouflage beige dry-brushed with Sand colored Craft paint washed with Secret Weapon Washes edged with a sharpie and trim painted Reaper Sky Grey.  Mirrors are GW Runefang Steel.

Each floor has a different layout and for added flexibility the beds, tables, and bench chairs are attached with magnets and can be removed or re-positioned as required. The other elements are glued in place.

 The next thing up will be the resin bits for Whiskey Jacks and the Data Trust.  Once all the interior resin for these is finished and installed, and (hopefully) before starting additional Undertown buildings, I'll return to these to add interior lights which should make some cool view of the interiors available through the windows and doors while the buildings are closed up.
