Cuprum Prospectors Camp (Startown Slum)

If Firefly loaded the gun, these buildings pulled the trigger on my Traveller craze. The set is called Startown Slums by PaintedTerrain.com. I picked these up a year ago at Cold Wars 2010 at the Brigade games booth. I am tempted to buy another set and paint them up in a different color scheme.

Here the pictures are taken on a GeoHex mat with two scouts (Martian Metals Mercenaries) from my original Traveller miniature campaign in 1978! The scene is a wild cat prospectors camp on Cuprum in the Urnian subsector (my version not the non-canon Foreven version…)

The ex-scouts have dismounted from the ATV (a Battletech Mobile Command Vehicle commandeered for 15mm play.) The scene is taken from our Traveller RPG play exploring Cuprum which is affectionately known to the players as “radio weird world.”

The first pics show the buildings with roofs on and the second set with roofs off.  Enjoy.
