The Book of 2 Story Warehouse Custom Tutorial

http://c3ggames.com/C3G/released/terrain/2StoryWarehouse19.JPG



-Supplies Needed-
2 Warehouses from the Marvel Master Set
Razor knife
A thin clear plastic sheet like from a box of cookies
Super glue
Automotive glue/goop
A hack saw or miter saw
Black marker
Power drill
Paintbrush
White, Black, Burgundy, Brown, and Gray paint-Tutorial-
Using your razor Knife, cut the top of the warehouse off where shown in the picture. Smooth that top off so that it is relatively level.

Using your razor knife, cut off the small plastic tab on the top right corner.

Using your hack saw or miter saw, cut off the ruble on the front and side of your second Warehouse and also the breakable wall section as well.

On the first Warehouse (the one you cut the top off of), cut out a notch in the floor board in the picture below. This will allow for the second Warehouse to be placed flush on top.

Glue the second Warehouse on top of the first Warehouse.

Using your automotive glue/goop, fill in all the voids from the removed rubble, the coat the entire top/visible layer of that goop with your superglue (that makes it stronger and gives it a more plastic-like texture).

Using your black marker, draw out the square or rectangle for the size window you want to create.

Using your power drill, drill into one of the four corners of your square and rock the drill back and forth, cutting along the black lines.

Take the square of the wall section that you just "cut" out and place it on your clear plastic sheet. Draw a slightly larger square around the wall section with your black marker and cut that plastic square out with your razor knife.

Using your razor knife and plastic sheet, cut thin small strips that equal the height and width of the hole in the wall. Then with your superglue, glue the strips into place. Then glue the plastic window that you cut out against these inner strips. For an additional effect, you can scratch cracks into the window with your razor knife.
http://c3ggames.com/C3G/released/terrain/2StoryWarehouse14.JPG
Now you will need to create a frame for the inside and outside of the window. Using the same method of creating plastic strips from step 10, glue your frame down around and on top of your window on both sides.

If you want your window to be on the first floor, use your super glue to glue the rubble from the front of the wall back on.
Painting:
Paint the frame around the window with a primer white.
Paint the frame around the window several coats of brown.
Paint all of the exposed automotive glue/goop gray to match the other plaster/concrete around it.
Paint all of the bricks burgundy.
Dry brush the bricks with a brown muddy orange in several sporadic places, not applying too much.
Put a white wash over all of the bricks.
Dry brush all of the bricks burgundy.
Put a heavy black wash over everything except for the window and a few brick areas to create a worn look to the building.

As an additional touch to my 2 Story Warehouse, I put some red graffiti on my window. This isn't necessary, but it is fun and you can spice your 2 Story Warehouse up however you choose.

Holy ___ that looks good. I wish I had more Marvel Sets now.

[Good Pig]

Stunning! :shock:

[IAmBatman]

This makes me want to get about 50 Warehouses and build 5 skyscraper fronts that are 10 stories high each ... like seriously. :-)

[Griffin]

If I had 3 more Warehouses - in addition to the other 3 I currently have - I could make a colossal building. :twisted:

I am glad you guys like it. :up:

[A3n]

Really good job Griff :up:.

[SirGalahad]

Nice tutorial. :thumbsup:

[Spidey'tilIDie]

Griff, I hate you! J/K How do you do all these wonderful customs?!? I have seen someone else do the Double-Decker Warehouse thing, but never with a window! :shock: I really don't like to be envious, but I really envy your skills right now!

[Griffin]

Awww shucks. :oops:

I have to say, I have always been artistically inclined and full of creativity. I think it is a gift from GOD. I mean I was drawing comprehensive pictures of cats, dogs, helicopters, superman, etc, when I was two.

Pfft... Over-achievers...

;)

That's some awesome work though... :thumbsup:

[A3n]

Hey Griff did you just get a bit of white stuff on your warehouse?
:p

[Griffin]

He he, I guess so.

Thanks for the comments Whitey.

[Tornado]

Wicked awesome warehouse custom. I must now obtain another one or many more. Drats all my friends have but a single Marvel set and I doubt they would be willing to give up their only ruin. I will have to start looking online.
Extremely impressive Griffin. Merry CHRISTmas.

[yummypie]

I just got a second marvel set for Hanuka. I think I'm going to go in search of just warehouses.
Is there going to be a destructible object card for this?

[Griffin]

Thanks guys.

Yes, Yummypie. I will eventually design this as a DO, unless someone else does first, which is fine by me.

[yummypie]

Have you ever thought of having a separate department for DO's so that you guys can focus on the new cards while another group can focus on the cards for all the new DO's coming?

[tcglkn]

I don't think there will be a huge rush of tutorials coming through here. If a member of the public wants to make a design for an obstacle here, they can, if not there is nothing preventing you from simply making these and adding them to your maps as indestructible objects like the RotV ruins.

[Griffin]

Have you ever thought of having a separate department for DO's so that you guys can focus on the new cards while another group can focus on the cards for all the new DO's coming?DOs are just as important to us as figures though, in fact, we made them figures in our DO Rules.

[Piano_man]

If I have a window in the bottom, I can't get a clear "line of sight" and attack, right? :)

[Griffin]

Good question.

Since this is just a tutorial thread right now, it isn't even C3G approved to be a Destructible Object or an Obstacle such as the ruins. So basically, this is just an idea, and it doesn't exist in C3G yet.

However, Tcglkn and I were playing some games today and we used this building. Upon playing those casual games, we discussed possible rules and one of the things we discussed was shooting through and jumping through the windows.
Also, after building one for him, we joined the two together and made a complete boxed in building. It was really cool. We got a couple of pics, and he said that he will be posting them as soon as he gets home, which will be any minute now.

[tcglkn]

I'll be posting pictures soon. Let me catch up on the day's threads though.

[tcglkn]

Sorry these aren't the best quality, they were taken with my phone. But basically these are mine and Griffin's 2 Story Warehouses put together. It works out pretty well and I will be building a second one of these soon so I can do this in the center of all my maps. :D

[Griffin]

Thanks tickle. That is really cool, and the pics don't do it justice at all.

[IAmBatman]

Love the "crumbling building." :thumbsup: Me wanty!

[Bloody Bogle]

At the risk of sounding repetetive, the pics in this thread don't work either...

[IAmBatman]

Thanks for the bump! :-) Changing the links seems to have done the trick.

[Arch-vile]

I forgot this existed. This is so cool; I wish I had more Warehouses (as everyone else in this thread has said :lol:).

[IAmBatman]

Yep. Hmm ... I wonder if the terrain group could figure out a foam core approximation of this?

[A3n]

That would probably be an easier task then the rest we are proposing.

[IAmBatman]

Probably really worth looking into, then, since it'd be playable on the inside and outside. Not quite a full "building" but still .... :-)

[Gurei-Ornery]

I was actually going to take one of the Grishnak's I have built and split it vertically like this. It seems like it would make getting inside easier than story removal.

EDIT: So I did.
