The cobblestone is very interesting (you sent a small piece with the pillars), I think the edging might be hard, but it would make good change from the norm.

I like the cobblestone, though obviously it would need a nice fancy border to separate the 2 styles.

That stuff goes everywhere and thanks... I think

I will be edging the area of course I will be using the same technique I used in the graveyard



Thanks again for the comments and feedback,

This is fun! I encourage everyone to give it a go!

Go O's! Sorry I am just very excited!

Looking really good still. Is it possible at any point to see a show case of all the work for this board?

Thanks and yes I would be happy to, but what is it that you would like to see exactly? I have pretty detailed pictures in my gallery. I will take a better picture of my work specificly for you. Let me know what building you would like to see in better detail.

Thanks as always,
Mike

Just a quick one tonight boys! WIP Capital Building. Added a roof to the tower and details all over the place. I am taking my time on this one as it has become the center point of the city . I should have the water tower plant storage thing mocked up for you guys to see soon

The roof is still a WIP and will be trimmed to fit better to the building. I also textured the roof for a more convincing look. The picture is hard to see but you should get the idea!

Enjoy and as always let me know what you think,

Mike

I love it. I think the roof would look cool with porcelain tiles on it.

Everything is looking awesome, I was dubious about the pringles cans but even they turned out looking sweet

I think the little chaple-like center piece could do with some gargoyle's on the roof

Thanks and I will have a few pictures up later of how the roof looks now that it is dry! It has taken on a whole new feel

Thanks and as a matter of fact I have two gargoyles to use, I will post some pictures later!



Thanks again and as always keep the comments coming,

I'm very tempted to buy those pringle accessories..looking very nice.

I like the roof.. but perhaps using something different to the floor tiles?

Peter

Gargoyles?

Wait and see the stone effect that is on them now it looks great!

I used to love that show



Not feeling to good tonight Think I am fighting the flu, so sorry for no modeling updates

mike

If you put some thin rolls of blue tac laid out in a grid pattern over a surface before putting on that texture paint you could end up with an interesting tile pattern - you don't even need to use movement trays - just card cut to size, as the paint creates its own raised texture to define the tiles.

Just a quick one for you guys!

Textured roof and gargoyle

Roof came out nice. I approve.

Thanks Paul! Also your Dready hits the painting table next week

Hey, I love the work you're doing with that center-piece.

Something I think would look cool and make it more grimdark would be to add some gothic accents to the edges and ridge of the roof. Maybe you're already thinking of doing this, but I felt like I would put my two cents in.

Here are links to two examples (I don't know how to make pictures work):


Example 1 - look at protrudey things on front of roof

Example 2 - look at pointy things on ridge of roof

I have been following your thread religiously for the past few months, and I realized that I haven't really ever contributed to it....
This will be a new resolution of mine.

Peace out.

roof looks good . gives it that sense of solididty, and looks like the rest of your other buildings , now. your gargoyle is funky too, nice find.

I think the large ones might actually be to big. I can snag a pic of a sheet of brass if you need scale.

whalemusic360 wrote:I think the large ones might actually be to big. I can snag a pic of a sheet of brass if you need scale.

It.2.5 inches, I will measure it out and draw it on for a scale comparison later. Thanks as always!

Mike

I was gonna say that you need some gabling on the ridge of the roof, samwellfrm beat me though

Thanks guys! The feedback is great keep it coming. So anyway I haven't had a chance to do much of anything since I started my new job. I did however measure and draw out what the imperial aquila would look like on the roof. The aquila is 2.75 cm and is going to fit perfectly! Please excuse the fact it is off center and imagine the brass etched beauty in it's place Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks as always and keep the comments coming

Mike

yep it will look great , what clour you thinking for it?

Looks Like a prefect fit!

Now all I have to do is get the 80 bucks these suckers are going to cost me! Why doesn't GW sell them? Sucks for us in the states! UGHHHHHH

$80! How many are you getting man? They are like ~16.50 each, plus shipping.

whalemusic360 wrote:$80! How many are you getting man? They are like ~16.50 each, plus shipping.

Haha, I was exaggerating a touch! $25 for one set including shipping. That is a ton for brass etching. Lame forgeworld... more to the us dammit!
