    Initially I just wanted a nice piece with their sci-fi truck mentioned in this thread but I maaayyyyy have been a bit carried out when I made my order.

    IMG_20201229_140846.jpg
    Details are:
    Heavy Goods Truck - HCD x1
    Billboard AD-2000 x1
    Snack Shack - Taco Window x1
    Containers x3
    Vending Machines x2
    Traffic Control Overhang x1
    Cargo Boxes (2 large 4 small) x2

    and I get an extra citadel paint pot holder that may be used as a console/antenna/whatever.

    I got that truck and a set of their road pieces last year.
    They were painted with the intent of being used in a tourney in 2020. That didn't happen.
    Good luck with these.
    The pieces are all masked and prepainted, too. Which helps with some painting. EVERY cut out is a masked piece.
    (What looks like "burned mdf" turned out to be the mask layer.)
    I went with a full anti-grav hover truck for mine. The idea of the wheeled mover and hover trailer wasn't working for me.

    I think I won't start this project in the coming days as I may dedicate my time to it so it won't last forever.

    The masked/prepainted features were part of the seller to me. But as not all pieces I bought bare from this range I'm considering getting some masking film to ease the painting process.

    Won't it be a good terrain piece ?

    As the only MDF experience I got so far is with a couple of flat round bases that are just painted plain black, I'm doing some tests before.

    I've just airbrushed this so I'll try to add some colour tomorrow and see how it goes.

    Still thinking about the colours and how to spread it on each piece of terrain (also need to think how to optimise benefit of pre-mask) but I find something to complete the citadel paint holder into a full terrain piece.

    Using it as a chimney is nice as it could break snipers LoS.

    I was wandering around the idea of some scrap build lately so I give it a try (on the right).

    Nice piece, but, what is a Viking doing there?

    You can add some plate/box/assorted bit to the top of the other piece to hide the lettering.

    That's a battle kiwi (literally, a kiwi, with a rifle ^^).

    I found the lettering being part of the industrial/processing unit vibe I wanted to the piece. Yes I can totally avoid the fact that the lettering is backward.

    More seriously, I didn't found anything that works on top except a piece I want to use for something else.
    We'll see how it looks once painted.
