Fogou Model’s buildings at Sek’s Ridge

Hello and welcome back. 


Welcome to Sek’s Ridge Spacer! 


On the Frontier world of Dejlibelli lies the colony of Sek’s Ridge. In this post we will be taking a closer look at this colony on this dust bowl frontier world. 



Every colony needs a bar for hardworking locals to let off steam or drown their sorrows. There are a few bars around Sek’s Ridge which can be either a good or bad sign depending on your point of view. This one is the resin Logan's World of Ancient Wonders model by Fogou Models. Like all the Fogou buildings with comes with a separate roof and doors.

The resin lean to shed is also by Fogou and can be used in a number of ways.

These models paint up quickly. Forgoing the normal undercoat I tried giving the model a heavy white dry brush before washing it with thinned burnt senna paint. A heavy bone dry brush followed by a light white dry brush. The model got another thinned burnt sennia paint wash before picking out the details. 

With the resin lean to removed it reveals a nice bit of detail. 

The base of the building got a sand dry brush. A dry brush of bestial brown was applied to a lower level. Right at the bottom a wash of sepia ink was applied. 

Looks like someone got caught out slapping some graffiti on the bar wall.



The word Bar was added above the door in Alienese alphabet (from the Futurama tv series). All graffiti and signs are applied with Posca markers. The model comes with a resin sign which I painted up as old wood. It had a dry brush of light grey then a wash of chestnut ink. It then  got another drybrush of light grey followed a sepia ink wash. The details where picked out and the gas bottle was painted orange. The sign got a heavy dry brush of white for the sign. The letters where picked out with a black Posca marker and then block filled with emerald green.



Just landed at Dejlibelli and need some robot repairs? Or maybe those pesky sand scavvies has shot up your old claptrap unit? Then pop over to Nutta’s Bot Repairs over in Sek’s Ridge. This is a resin Brother Brownpony's Bar model by Fogou Models. It comes in four pieces. The main building and roof & the roof top building with it’s roof. There is also separate doors. 

Free Clunk? We don’t have a Clunk! 

There was robot in for repair who as soon as it fixed went out and graffitied the wall! Maybe I should add “Kill all humans”? 


Unlike the other model I just went straight to the painting. Looking at them I think the pre paint drybrush makes the detail on the model ping more. The painting was the same as the Bar model. This model got Bot repairs added to the wall in Alienese with Posca markers.


Perhaps these buildings need a poster or two? These models were fun to paint up. Which is just as well as I have the Fogou Adobe set to paint up at some point. I will need to Sci Fi them up a little for the space port/colony look. The paint scheme used on these two buildings will be used for the colony.



There will be more posts focusing on the frontier world of Dejlibelli. Stay tuned. 


Thanks for looking. 


Take care out there.

  1. Ohh, cool! You really got my attention with these. The Fogou huts are fantastic by themselves, but you made them really stand out. Pretty nice job, looking forward to more Dejlibelli!

  2. Great job on the buildings, they really do have a frontier town look to them. Good job with the Futurama references too! And is Dejlibelli from Discworld?

    1. Thanks for your kind comments. The name is discworld inspired. Djelibeybi (Jelly Baby) is the country on discworld. Dejibelli is a pun on the condition Dheli Belly.

  3. Great work as always, your graffiti always looks so good - it looks like it's on a real building instead of painted on a model, if that makes sense.

    1. Thank you for your kind words. Posca markers are great for graffiti and fine details.
