I understand, it's out of place until it is with the rest of the city. It will look better when it's finished!

nice sewers marty!

I told you I wanted to hold judgement until finished! Sheesh, kids these days.

Yes, but I respect your opinion and creative feedback Paul

If there was something that I missed that could be improved I always want to know! Thanks Paul!

And thanks Rogue!

Keep the comments coming I really would love a lot of feedback on this one.

Dood, there is no possible way you can really criticize this yet, it's just not done yet.

IMHO, the more angles and non-symmetrical terrain pieces in a table, the better. It adds interest, and allows more versatile photography shots to boot!

Completely True on this one

Have to say I think it looks pretty cool.

Thanks Nate!

One suggestion I would have is to add in a broken safety fence or rail around the canal - either a chain link/mesh fence with supports that has been corroded/broken/cut, or a low metal tube railing (I've tried to look for pictures but could not see anything - basically a large diameter (10-20cm) single tube that forms a low barrier on top of an existing wall, bent at each end to form supports).

Just gives the idea that the canal was deep/dangerous even before the fighting.

I like the idea a lot. Could be hard to execute though. I am adding a broken grate at the pump house that could be used as a tunnel of sorts. It's hard to describe but just what and see. I was considering barbed wire around the top as well. I am taking my time with this one considering with the new baby I have no time

Thanks for the comments

Just read through your blog, really nice stuff, man. Love the terrain particularly. Consider me exalted.

Congrats on the little arrival!

Silly me! Consider me exalted... to your thread. Not exactly grammatically correct but you see where i was going with it.

Could you tell me which set these panels came in?

I would assume the Manufactorum. They look like the Space Hulk terrain on the 'Stealer bases which is what i need to replicate. The TerranScape stuff is a good match also i'll be ordering some of that.

Just read what exalted meant on dakka and I am honored by the gesture

That set in the pic is in fact a manufactorum cities of death kit, and yes Mike@ terranscapes stuff is awesome!

Thanks again

Well deserved, your churning out some amazing work.

Yay, i'll be ordering the Manufactorum kit then, looks like my Nids are about to get a boost of activity. Thanks!

Just had to buy a new tire for my new car! Stupid road debris!!

There goes my 40k budget for the month. :(

Anybody buying any new GW paints? I'm curious to see how they are.

oh man that sucks. I know how that feels. I have had 3 tires go bad in the last 6 months. Just bought 2 new ones couple weeks ago. Luckily I have 2 full size spares!

I'm sure I'll get some of them at some point, when the ones I have run out.

I am going to pick up the dry brushing paints maybe one or two. I am definitely picking up the base coat yellow! Finally I can finish the hazard strips... God I hate painting yellow

tested them today, and i give two thumbs waay up!

Very nice my friend very nice the canal and pump station are coming along very awesomely, looking forward to the next update.

My Jeep is 60K miles on current rubber, new tires is about 800 :( I feel your pain.

Ouch! Well here's to the wish list

Ordered diamond plate card stock. I will hopefully start gluing it all together tonight... if the baby sleeps... big if!

Well just as I thought, no sleep crying baby episodes last night stopped all dreams of hobby time. I don't think that will change any time soon! Oh well there's always another night...when she's all grown up.

You will get your life back when she leaves home (for good )

SilverMK2 wrote:You will get your life back when she leaves home (for good )

Yeah, well hopefully it's sooner rather then later

Or until she can play with me

You will need to set her on the path to gamerhood as soon as possible. Since I am guessing she still can't hold her head up on her own yet, replace her mobile with models on strings and she will not be able to not look at it!

Bwahaha!

Hey, Mad Marty, is your name a reference to Willow or Val Kilmer in any way?


Loving what your doing here. have been lurking for a while on this one... Thought I would join in the conversation finally. Still gotta catch up reading about thirty pages of your stuff, though.....
