Rad Pizza’s Grand reopening.

Today after a massive refurbishment Rad Pizza is open again for business. The first twenty customers not only get their Pizza half price but they get a free rat on a stick too. Come on folks, eat out to help out!


This is a terrain refresh of a old favourite of mine. The model originally looked like this:


It was constructed from a card pen holder cum desk tidy thing my wife was throwing out. It had just the right shape. 


The roof had warped a little in one corner, a after effect of its return trip from the 2018 BYOL event (see Rad Pizza in the background of the Helsreach great jet bike race). So I added a new roof brace. 





The windows got some bars made from a biro inner.  Another was added from a strip of gift card. The new brackets and rivets were made from greenstuff putty. 



A vent and a ventilation fan was added. It gets pretty hot in there when the pizza ovens are burning. These came from GZG 15mm resin building bits. They work just as well for 28mm scale. 



Around the back we have added a new water boiler. This came from a mantic industrial terrain set. Some hanging electrical cables near the roof were added from left over greenstuff putty. I always mix too much of the stuff. 


The main work was fresh paint and dry brushing making the tone a little more realistic. This was followed by some dark brown, light brown and orange washes and runs to weather it a bit. Finally fresh graffiti and posters finish it off. 


Thanks for looking - pass a slice of pizza.

  1. Repaired rather well and still looks as ramshackle as it was before!

    1. Cheers, it is the only way to post apoc. As time goes on I suspect many of my models will end up more and more ramshackle as I patch them up.

  2. That looks really nice. For a crumbling shack I mean.
