Really looking awesome!! My FAV little details are those "melted" banners! They are just glorious! You must let me know how you achieve that! I have just the thing I would love to try one on!

So who's painting it then? It's not for you? I missing something (~sigh~ again)

Hi all, thanks for the comments.

Firstly and most importantly NEW COMPETITION...the next round of the League Terrain Competition is up.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/654377.page

Have a look, join in, trust me it is great fun.

Now....

@ Vik, Thanks bud. Yes it's a box and all the bits fit inside quite snuggly to hopefully avoid damage in transit.




By the time its all in there I am afraid there isn't much room for anything else.

The material I "aquired" from some gentlemen fitting signs in work. Its slightly softer than pure styrene, but quite durable. It cuts easy enough with a utility knife. I had 2 sheets, one 5mm thick and one 10mm thick. Still have a bunch left. I trialed a piece to see if it will take primer, and no issues. It has a "skin" on either side.

@ Gits, Really glad you like it bud. Should finish it up this week end and have it on its way.

@ DrH, Thank you sir. Actually had to think on this one. It hurt.

@ Biff, Thanks bud, Banners are easy, blow torch and thin plasticard.

@ Solar, Well it's for Gitsplitta for a display board he's making. Will go with the Waagh!! tower I am making him. Of course thats if he still wants it! I can't paint for toffee's so he can paint it himself.

Thanks for looking in, hope to get the board finished up this weekend. Then I am not sure. I owe Nerdy some more vehicles and I have too many ideas floating in my head for the LoER comp it is going to be hard to resist. But due to life still being crap, I probably wont get any of that done. Thinking of setting up a little painting station and getting some of the (literally) thousands of models I have that need some love, painted.

Oh...wicked! (That's currently my favourite word in such cases...)
I think I had that material in my hands sometimes...it is not something I would declare as cheap in either price nor usage...and you used it most excellently!

Can't paint for toffee????I beg to differ, you've become am amazing painter...you seldom see someone with such a steep learningcurve...

Of course I still want it Cam, your constructions are brilliant and it's an honor to be able to feature them in my own collection.

I'm guessing the material is Sintra.

Well calling it done....










Thanks for looking in, the next time you see this Gitsplitta will be in posession, all boxed ready to go.

As always thoughts c&c most welcome.

Back soon with something completely different!

That's simply stunning Cam. I'll be really proud to show that off with one of my armies on top of it.

Best part is the big hammer in the background .. talk about last desperate measures...

Looking brilliant! This is something truly unique, one of a kind, I doubt if there are any more such versatile pieces out there in the world...

My mind still boggles as to how that actually goes together.... and how it is reversible...

Really awesome stuff buddy! Really classic and original piece!

Oh.... blow torch and plasti card eh..... going to give this a try.... better check the smoke alarm batteries!

Amazing! Nice work Cam

Thank you, much appreciated.

Little side project as a distraction for me.

This thread recently came to my attention so thought I would join in.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/656634.page

So heres a beginning...


Volunteered a Mek, but I see someone else has jumped up as well so will have to see where insiration takes me.

Hey mate! I saw this too.... its a nice wee project! Looking forward to seeing what becomes of the parts!

I've got a load of stuff I'm volunteering to the Orkish horde, 2 or 3 Burna Boyz (wish we could still take them as special weapons in regular Mobs!) a couple of 'Ard Boyz and a Nob or 2. Looking forward to seeing everyone else's stuff and especially to seeing you get back on with your own Waaagh! Camkierhi!

Thank you guys,

Progress is afoot.....deliberately bad picture.....


More soon i hope.

ha! there is a lego monkey wrench! guilty of butchering lego stuff as charged!



good to see you working on orky stuff again mate!

Thanks Vik,

It's not Lego it's worse, it's Brickarm's. Buy loads for my son. Bought these for my orksess deliberately.

Now small progress, but progress, still more stuff to add, and weapon options to do. But..........






Thoughts appreciated.

That BigMek is loaded

Love that Cam... very, very orky in the extreme.

^did buy lego strictly for my own purposes too...sometimes it is too good to be true what that company has made^^...there was once atime when my kids wanted to gve me stuff to work with freely.... now there misers again^^ so i refrain from using theirs^^

and... hmmm.... i have t say the swinging chainsword arm i like...the zap gun addition and the boiler thingy i actually don´t like... there a bit OOT...there needs to be something that looks more convincing for me... but the claw arm then again looks the business...hmmm....
well... feel a bit like the devils advocate...but even if it is a dirty job ... someone´s got to do it

Thanks for the comments,

So made some alterations and started licking with paint, still WIP, and because I am odd, more to add modelling wise but...............






Any better Vik?

Thank you for looking in, comments welcome...

Your paintstyle always lends what might needed fixingi like him...he has a certain old school style with him...that shoulder mounted gun is a scratch build, right? Cool work!

You might be moving slow but the quality is still over the top. Your building parts are coming along great as I've seen over in Viks blog and the orcs are still some of the best out there

Yeah speed is not as important as the quality of the work you do Cam.

Certainly looking Orky, can't ask for more from an Ork.

Like the reverse held chain-sword.

Always something cool and Orky here after an update, nice stuff

Thanks all,

Update, detailing, mostly paint, more to add, still very PIP at mo.....





thanks for looking in.

will the pants stay black? also... nice fading effect on the chequerboard pattern!

Coming along nicely. I could not help but to notice the base. Perhaps a larger one? I like the shoulder mounted mechanism.

Agree on the base. it would make it look more imposing!
