Ion Age 28. Terrain 1.

 With my desk heavy with Green (or soon to be green!) figures as part of the ongoing OWAC I have picked up my 28mm Ion Age forces to offer a bit of a break and started working on some terrain pieces. Any game system I get into will inevitably get some terrain added and although already have some generic terrain pieces that will fill a board I wanted to give my games something Universe specific. 

The Ion Age universe over at Alternative Armies runs in both 15mm and 28m scales, sharing the same setting but with different rule sets that reflect the game level, squad skirmish for 28mm and a larger platoon upwards for the 15mm, While both scales are well supported in infantry, the 15mm also gives you access to vehicles, larger mechs and also a large range of terrain pieces with a modular Hab system.

Initial test compared to a 15mm Hab using half of a Hamster ball and Foamcard to build the base and butresses

Adding some inside details before sphere was glued down.

Slits for air were also covered using strips of card

Completed Habs from the one Hamster ball. One intact and one ruined. The Doors and additional details 3D printed from free files found on Thingiverse. I had considered making the roof flat to closer match the 15mm version but decided to keep the ball hatch for greater convenience.

The domes are shown next to a 15mm Hab and a 28mm Ion Age PDF Soldier. 

Gravel and sand added and awaiting paint.
