Generic sci-fi building from a soda can

Around the time I started with 40k about a year ago I tried to read up on the hobby all over the internet and found Terrainthrall and this tutorial. And now I've finally started my own version of this. I knew I wanted it to look like some industrial little something place with a door and a few simple details. I want it to fit with the game table I will one day finish. Some post-apocalyptic industrial desert kind of theme. Sand, rust, junk oh my!

First WIP shots:



Materials so far is the 7UP can, plasticard, the lid from some old medicin bottle (the white thing on top), round lid from a small Creme Fraiche container, cereal box and thicker card board (for the base). I've since added details with wires from an old computer (have LOTS saved for all my scratch projects), McD straws, q-tips etc.

And sand. Lots of sand as you see here:





A few detail shots:



Now some more rivets and a few more details then prime time! :D

The workspace is clean!

"I've had enough!"... My desk was a complete mess. So much junk I barely had room to work. And with junk I mainly mean all sort of unfinished scratch built projects and pieces for them. So I sent my wife to IKEA with a shopping-list of a few items to help me organize my desk. The result:



It feels so much better with a clean desk! The shelves on the right side of the desk holds all the junk now sorted in big red plastic boxes. One for the stompa, one for the warhound etc.

And as you can see on my desk, Ive started yet another project. A while back I found this soda can sci-fi building tutorial over at Terrainthralls and it's been rattling around in my head. I wanted to start a small project I knew Id finish fairly quick just to get that "I finished a project" feeling. I'll most likely do more of these small "generic sci-fi building" type projects since it's quick, easy and fun.
