Downright creepy which I'll assume wast he intent? Megaloboar is pretty cool too

Good job on the boar. Shaping up nicely.

and nice sketch, Rhi'. Good shading in particular.

Thanks folks, both of us appreciate the feedback.

Added a cloak....


Thanks for looking.

Squuiggoth came out great! Liking the direction of the boar!

Daughter of yours is creepily talented!

OK so I been naughty, charged through the Boar project....

Here you go, sorry not more WIP, this is just about done I think....





Please feel free to Vote maybe!

Oh and a quick size comparison...


Thoughts and C&C welcome please...thanks for looking.

Kind of insane how big he is

The boar's head looks a little over large but it may just be the jaw plate that's throwing me off.

Really cool warboss at any rate, cool beans

Warboss on the biggest boar makes him look more bad-ass!

The massive size of the boar just increases the "cool" factor. Beautiful work on the eyes and the saw head on the end of that coiling chain is just perfecto!

@ Grim, Yeah he is a bit on the big side, and the head is disproportionate, but he comes from a universe of mis-sized crazy stuff. So I hope he fits in really.

@ Shas Too true.

@ Gits, Thank you sir, and indeed, I hope he is that much cooler for being truly truescale huge on his hogzilla.

I am aiming for true scale imagery on these these days. my boys will be all shapes and sizes, my grots too. Warbosses are described in the fluff as close to 10 feet, so he has to be suitably huge. I think by the time I am finished with this little side clan army thing for the Snakebites he will fit perfectly.

Next I think I need to sort him out some lads....already sculpted up a basic boar, so going to see how that goes, cooking right now.

Thanks for the feedback guys much appreciated.

Blimey, that would make one mighty fine Hog Roast... He's HUGE !! Great work

Love the armor plates on the beast. Nice little touches.

And so it begins... BEHOLD. THE HERALD OF THE GREATEST WAAGHH!

WAAAAGH-ter is coming!

super fun stuff here! I'd agree that some more washes would be good - but I like the details here so far!

Wow, finally a pig big enough for those vats of BBQ sauce from SAM'S Club . He looks great, definitely draws attention to the leader.

Great job on the pig and rider.

Love the chain-circular saw. Great movement in it.

Yes, what Dr H said, except in my voice.

Circular saw flail ... genius

Cool work Cam

Thank you all, really appreciate it.

So started making some Boar ..lets!



Still very WIP obviously, been working on a side project, so bit slow at mo. More soon though...

Bacon factory

Hadn't noticed the circular saw flail before That is true Orc Brilliance there

Nice! Very characterful.

Hogzilla looks awesome. So much wonderful detail. Very nicely done.

Thanks guys,...

Small update...trialing one to see how it looks.



Ta

Blast from the past.. Boar riders. Excellent

Nice BoarBoss. His buzzsaw on a chain is fantastic.

EDC

Hi and thank you, yup old skool it is, not sure I like the way things are nowadays. and thanks EDC appreciate it.

So tester pig done....



And started on some buddies for him...



Thanks for looking, very much appreciate the support.

Piggy buddies! You're making excellent progress with these, Cam! Keep up the good work.

Piggy looks fantastic Cam. They are going to look absolutely spectacular as a group!

Huh nice work!

BAKON!!!!!!!

Sorry guys feel a need to cleanse my pallet a bit. Will be back to beasties shortly, but need to get my Mek on here.....

So some bits....

The observant will notice i made a box

And added some bits to it....


Still early days, got lots to add to it, but thats the engine block..

See you soon.

looks convincing...waiting patiently for more^^

Engines are good....and....

... and quite large also.

Looking forward to the monster of a vehicle that requires it.

DakkaDakka means never having to apologize for scratch building things .

Totally agree!

Big engine, but what'll it be connected to..

EDC

Can't wait!

Little update...




See ya soon...

Anyone else notice that the ram looks like a pig's snout?

Now that you mention it...keeps it then in theme I guess...

Pig bike?!

EDC

Probably more like a pig-up truck...:-D

Cam wow, your new projects are exploding with character! What progress youve made in all your artistic endeavors! LoVE the boss, and the all the great details youve put into it. Beautiful stuff man, its been a while, but just showing my face a little bit take care !

BB

Thanks all, much appreciated.

OK, so what is it?

There is an excellent idea floating about on DakkaDakka about a Dakka clan of orks.
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/656634.page
I have done a Mek for the army. Well we where messing about with some ideas, and in particular a gentle giggle at the Australian Host. Orks with a theme maybe.

Now some of you know how I love to build stuff, just for the hell of it, andI am always honoured when someone will let me build them something.

So I have an idea....

This is going to be a Razorback Road Train display piece that may possibly pass for a battlewagon loosely.

So we need a big engine...

Then started on a sub frame assembly...




Then added a couple bits...



Lots more to do, including trailers that will be interchangable, and trying to make the cab look like a pig!

Quick disclaimer, I intend no insults to anyone ever with any of my work, I apologise if in any way any thing I do offends.

Anyway, providing KB likes it, he will get a gurt big trukk to display the boys on.

So what do you think people?

I think it's outstanding! Looking forward to seeing it morph into a pig!

Ta Gits, morphing begins...




Oh and did I mention moving parts....



Thanks for looking.

Cam... you are one self-abusing puppy... I love the moving pieces.

Erm...I am still after all this time mystified by your painting / building agenda...build, paint, build ontop...further painting and so forth...
That would never work out for me...at least I haven't yet tried...

But seriously...when will riveting happen? Seems its lacking quite a few...


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Oh and moving parts is always aweinspering

Wow .... enough said!

The moving snout bits are just brilliant! LOL!

I've always thought the paint-build more-paint more was confusing too, it obviously seems to work but I'm not sure if it's for me either

Big truck is neat, please continue

Nice work Cam'. Looking beefy.

Moving parts ftw.

Thank you gentlepeeps.

Well the model-paint -model paint thing is down to some psychotic issue I have no doubt. I am like it in everything I do. In this case it is I want to paint the engine, and once it is in place no way I am going to get to it, so paint it now. You could argue since it might well end up that you can't even see the engine what's the point, well to a degree what's the point of building the engine, could do a GW and just tell you it has a nuclear reactor built into the hubs of the wheels or some such. I paint it because I know its there, even if no-one else will ever see it. The same way I prime all sides of a piece of skirting before I fit it. I know I have done the job right. A habit I have had all my life. So you see I have no idea how you all completely build a model then paint it, how the heck do you paint the back of the gun?

Sorry got carried away there, bit tired and silly....

Any ways, didn't like the bonnet soooo.........


Oh and of course it opens so you can see the engine....


Thanks guys please keep the comments coming, and I would really like to know how the heck you paint the back of a gun???

 Camkierhi wrote:
... and I would really like to know how the heck you paint the back of a gun???

Ah well, I do things both ways. Which is why I didn't comment about painting before assembly or painting things that won't be seen.

When painting before assembly you need to have some clever ways to hold the pieces; pins and clips and gluing to pieces of sprue (what else?) for example.
I don't like the paint things while they are on the sprue they are moulded with as leaving it on makes it tricky to remove the mould-lines, and if you don't remove them then (or miss one or two) you'll have to remove them afterwards, which will require some touching up of the paint; so why not paint it afterwards anyway.

Painting things that are not going to be seen: I do this a lot and it stems from my Airfix etc. modelling where there is often hidden parts; interior details, engines etc. The joy of modelling, for me, is mainly in the doing rather than the finished piece. So the more modelling I can cram in to a model, the better. Even if some of that modelling will be hidden. However one trick, as demonstrated above, is to make parts removable so that the interior parts can be seen.
An important thing to remember is to paint/model beyond where you think people can see. You don't have to go far, but further than you may at first think. This avoids problems later if you misjudged how much people may see, and more importantly it gives the impression of there being no end; if someone can pick up a model and turn it over and over, looking at every angle and can't see the end, the mind will fill in what can't be seen and the model gains that extra level.

For example: if your model has some shark gills moulded into the surface. A model kit will often have these "holes" filled in and you would paint the "hole" part black, and that would look adequate.
However, you could cut out the "hole" pieces and leave actual holes. Done neatly, this would look better. But on closer inspection you would see that the holes lead into an empty shell.
You could then add a box that covers the inside of the hole and add some details (e.g. engine parts or pipes etc...). This gives something to look at inside the hole. However, there will always be an end to the box and total blackness. This will look great, but...
...If you build the entire engine inside the model, you can hold that model at any angle, shine a light in the hole and you will see no end to the detail. Also, you will get light spilling in through the other holes and illuminating the interior in a way that you don't get from any of the above. This will look excellent and very realistic.
And more importantly, imagine all the fun of building the interior details, rather than just an empty box with black "hole" painted on.

As for painting the back of a gun; I go for a black basecoat that gets into all crevices and then anything that I cannot get to to paint properly are "in the shadows" and remain black. Job's a good'un.

Painting the back of the gun/arm can be annoying. Still gotta do it all at once though

Is this a Simi-truck ( War Wagon) Ork vehicle? MYbe pulling a trailer...hint hint..

I picked up these guys a while ago...
Mine are not painted yet.

I got a feeling that I may need to build a battle wagon for them... to perform on. Thanks for the inspiration!

Awesome... simply awesome!

Bonnet? Oh, you mean the hood It could use some vents in it, or some sort of air intake for a supercharger maybe?

Paint as you go is a fine way to do things. I try to do so when I can.

How are you hinging it?

@DrH, Thank you sir, thorough as always, and I agree, thank you.
@Grim LOL Thanks.
@Solar, there will indeed be many trailers.
@Anpu-adom Thank you and that is my one wish, to be inspirational.
@Gits thanks bud, appreciate it.
@ Red keep thinking I need to stick some gills on this bonnet/hood. As to hinging see below.....


Very simple on this one, it's not like it will get a lot of use. two tubes and a rod.

First layer of paint on "hood"...


And a dash...

Fitted.


Thank you for the comments much appreciated, and thanks for looking.

Bit more........but is it starting to look like a boar?




The makings of the arms...


Oh and I hacked up the cab a bit, going to leave it open, kinda like the old trains! going to have a hitching mechanism here somewhere for the trailers.


Thanks for looking in.

Hahah this is great, definitely looking a bit piggish.

Yep... definitely piggy.

those fangs look super!

arms?...what for?...wrecking ball related?...hmmm^^

How did you bend the plasticard? Hot water?

Thanks guys.

@ Gits and Grim, thank you sirs, much appreciated.

@ Vik, Thank you and sorry I did not explain, they are the support for the jaw....



I will be adding some nice bits like a boarding plank mechanism and a wrecking ball.

@ corpuschain I am afraid I am a bit more extreme than a bit of water.....


Yes a blow torch, I am far to impatient for gently warming so I go for the throat. as it were.

Thanks for looking in guys, about to sit down to a session so look back laters.

I absolutely LOVE the truck in that last photo Cam!

Ta Gits, that was a while ago now, but I liked that one too.

Update on the front end......




Now to the cab.....

I think the colors now make it a bit less piggy but several degrees more awesome.

This thing is both awesome and ridiculous at the same time. Go team ORKS,

Now dat's a proppa Ork Trukk! Nice work.

It's like a John Deere truck designed by Orcs. Awesome.

Nicely done as is. Needs a mini in the photo, for scale purposes. IMHO.

Perhaps grab bars here and there so the boys can hitch a ride? And a trailer hitch in back...

Nice work Cam', looking Ork-ier by the minute.

I'm especially fond of that old truck; such lovely boxes it has on the back...

Excellent work Cam. It looks wonderfully orky and colorful!

Thanks all.

Question: I am trying to make it orky, but at the same time give it a subtle Australian feel. Have I over done it and lost that?

@ Red, heres a scale shot for you sir.......



It is a bit on the large side, but then it is not necessarily a game piece, but I think if I do it right I could maybe get the front end to be a counts as Battlewagon.

So started on the next bit, (read no self discipline!)

Stuck some bits together...


Added wheels, needs lots it is heavy....


And a few details, round bit on top is where I will be making the BIG GUN.


Thanks for looking and all C&C are welcome and encouraged.

Man that hog-tractor-wagon is a slice of pure Ork.

Amazing!

EDC

now i see...this battle wagon is based on a garbage lorry.... cool idea!

the new project reminds me of the mouse droid of star wars...looks cute already^^

Wow it's massive. bigger now that we get a scale pic.

Thank you peeps.

A little something for the top....






Yup a BIG GUN..


Thoughts appreciated....

i like how you made that conic shape complete with the turret/ gun...

You can still see the Australian influence to it.
Only thing wrong with that is it's not upside down.

It is a nice shape you have to that trailer.

My honest opinion is that the trailer looks a little blocky by comparison to the rounded shapes of the cab. I mean it looks great, but less thematically linked.

Got a day off so..................





Over 20" at present.

Thank you for the comments Dr and Vik. And Dr it will be upside down when it gets to it future home!

@ WW Agreed, and hopefully the "sponsons!" go some way to rectifying it.

Well thoughts as always appreciated, not sure if the future owner frequents my blog, boy is he in for a surprise.

Oh good Lord I love that. The Pain Train!!

Love the Ork land train... very cool. You need to be playing some Black Sabboth/Ozzy Osborn when playing with it.... International Law requires it.

Here's something that will push that cannon over the hump that a lot of scratch-built Ork guns struggle with- get a smaller diameter tube and set it inside the barrel with putty, then smooth off the end (or just finish it Orky style).

Gun barrels, especially cannon barrels, are nowhere near as thin as tubing like that- they have to contain the pressure of the blast to direct it in the right direction.

blimey.....

but you know it needs crew now....lots of grots...i recently got me some crew grots from the scraplauncher set of the ogres...these might put some variety to the folds...

Holy Mork that is amazing, I had no idea the lengths you were going to, that is outstanding!

Thanks everyone, much appreciated.

Answers in mo, first a big gun......




Scale shot...

And with a little primer, in situ ...


Hitched up...

And of course it rotates and elevates....


@ kb_lock I hope you like, it's yours soon.
@ Vik, indeed crew will be necessary, will have to look them up.
@ Gits Thank you sir
@ Anpu-adom indeed compulsory.
@ Anvildude Agreed, how is it now?

Thank you for looking and please keep the C & C coming.

Footnote: I would like to take a moment to say this is not really an original idea, I have been inspired by many people before me who have built very large trukks, and to them I would like to say thank you, this is fun.

Liking the dragster-trackster and it's towed gun! Mad genius!

Very awesome!

Ta gents.



So how did I paint the barrel, well I aint no painter, but just in case here is how I painted it, again can't take any credit for this technique, stolen from various sources.

Primed black, then painted a goldy colour (I call it titanium) no idea, it is an old GW paint.

Next coppered in some parts...

Then drybrushed with Chainmail...

Then washed the whole thing blue....think it is vortex blue ...I watered it down a bit.

Then a sepia wash.....(this always washes the blue off certain areas!

Then Agrax Earthshade....

Quick drybrush with Runefang, added some greasy black marks..


And on its cradle,,,,which is very much WIP.


Hope that helps someone.

Thanks for looking in, comments as always welcome.

That looks brilliant. Amazing building skills.

EDC

Thanks for the tut!

Love the muzzle brake at the end of the barrel, kind of makes it look like a hammer . Painting tut very helpful.

with the exception of the blue wash i follow you...for what color effect purpose was this done? with the rust effect you created is very nice!

also...congratz, your orky surfer hit front page!

Camkierhi, that's a nice looking big -- no, huge -- gun there! And thank you for the explanation on how you got that nice weathering effect!

Useful tips... I 'll be trying some of them on my Stompa!

Like the road train idea, very orky

No C&C, just wonderment. If you make enough cars for it, it can be a piece of playable terrain if nothing else.

'Tis a ting of Orky Geenyuss!

Thank you all so much.

Still lots to do, been a bit distracted, but have been doing a little more on this....







And scale shot....


Thanks for looking, and really appreciate the comments all taken on board and received with thanks.

Nice trukk, you'l be able to transport many boyz on that.

I like the first pic, it looks like there are Easter treats in the last two cars!

Very cool. Digging the bright paint scheme.

EDC

from the pics i am firstly overwhelmed by the sheer fun and cool look of the thing... very colourful and overall a beauty...

but we´re not only here to praise...i have two minor issues you could think about...
the green roof of the tractor looks...how to put it...wrong?...i think that colour somehow is maybe too bright or something else bugs me...
secondly...the wagons...the two axles each leave a very long part only supported by the stand in the front of each... do i make myself understandable here?... what i think the structure needs here is something support the weight and still makes it rolling... maybe a weight related smaller wheel?...dunno maybe i am a bit too picky here...

I love it , very crazy/orky. The roof does strike an odd color balance, but these are orks so green is to be expected. Throw some boys on there for us to see and it will really come together. I also see what Vik means by the support piece, the baggage cars look like 18 wheeler trailers, which at rest look just like that, but when moving usually have the wheels of the rig underneath to support the load.

maybe make little support wheel vehicles that can seperate off and be like scout cars when they park, but when the caravan moves they lock in underneath that section.

An orky land train, da Squats can't have all the fun any more!

 shasolenzabi wrote:

They dun looted it from the squats . Never park your land train anywhere on an Orky planet,

Thank you all for your comments, very welcome.

Well first thing, that roof....agreed, lets see if this is better...


Next inside...


And the crew start to gather...


Added a bit to the back...



Oh and made some GAZ cans for scattering around this thing...


Still all a bit WIP, painting especially. I will be addressing the wheel issue in due course....

Please feel free to comment, I very much appreciate critique....

Just love those screens in the control panel!!

Can't belive I havent seen this sooner . This is looking fantastic

Wouldn't orcs call it petrul?

For a moment, with all the bright color, I thought I was looking at a child's toy train, but only a moment A splendid bit of work.

I think the roof looks much better now .

Why do the mushroom men want shade I guess too much sunlight might kill them off

It is Beeyooteefull!

Nice work Cam'. That interior shot it excellent.

Thank you all, I really appreciate the comments.

So feeling a bit low so trying to motivate myself...

Had a crack at the cab area, now glued in, can't really get a good picture of it at mo, but this one will have to do....


More crew on way..

A bunch of shootas for the pintle points..



And not sure if this will get stuck on yet but probably... a box of Stikkbombz!


Don't worry guys and dolls I will be back in the morning with some more, and hopefully kick off this silly moment. Little things messing with my head.

Comments and critique as always are welcome and encouraged, I do take it all on board.

Too bad you don't have an old-school boiler. You could have one of the grots or Orks tossing a couple Stikkbomms into it, "Fer an ekstra killy boost!"

The new roof looks better, as does the addition of the 'gaz' bottles inspired. really like the box of stikk bombs too.

He can scratch build one in no time AnvilDude. No problems.

That is a really cool use of clothespins. Now I'll need to get some.

Thanks guys.

No pics here tonight so you might want to go somewhere shiny instead.

Personal brainfart:


Still working on train but...

Going to do a dio for this months painting contest, but it I am going to take my time (you know more than 24 hours) and do it my way and them. It will not be a nice dirty space marine (seems to be the in thing!) but it will have a marine in it. And for once I am going to tell you all about it....

The title of the comp is "Relic". Going to do a Freebooter Kaptain, a relic in his own rite! Covered in stolen armour pieces, the odd Relic thrown in there, oh and he will be huge. Kuz only da biggestist gets to be Kaptain. He will have a sword thrust aloft and on that sword will be a SM skewered. He will have a bionic peg leg. And a bloomin silly big hat and a squig on his shoulder, and covered in old fashioned guns.

So now is were you all give me your thoughts and any ideas you may have, or I will accept the silence as the final nudge nudge wink wink, that I have gone too far and should shut up.

Excellent Cam. Go with your gut... ALWAYS go with your gut when it comes to this kind of stuff.

It's good to let your instinct drive your creativity. Like Gits said. You do your thing!

pent the last 24 hours mulling over how much of an idiot I am, I know I can't paint

for this you should receive a royal hiding....! man...you´ve proven yourself to be a top notch painter time and again...

but i am by far a man impervious to self doubt...whenever i lost (read didn´t win) a comp i doubt my own abilities...we all dab in the arts...and that is a way of opening our inner being to the world...and the world is able to caress or stomp us...mostly the world though is not even aware of our exstince...and we feel stomped by a purpose that isn´t even there... i try to remember that no one is actually stomping me on purpse when i don´t achieve what i was going for...even as an adult that is one hell of a feat to accomplish...and it takes every ounce of self conciousness...best way to survive s get into another contest! hell yeah!

speaking of...the idea sounds cool...i want to see that done!

and i really like the new roof on your trukk...the gaz barrels and all the other additions, and crew are really cool too!

Cam, you silly git, you are a good painter. Stop it.

Awesome work on the big trukk (almost a land train really!). That's a very impressive feat, and really speaks to your creative abilities. Nice work.

 Camkierhi wrote:

... I am sat in the bath just now ...

Good thing too. You're a lovely chap, but there are things we don't need to see.

You can only truly ask the best from someone (or yourself), and that is dependant on the individual.
What results from that is down to that person's experiences more so than any innate talent. If someone spends every hour of every day doing a skill, they are going to be able to produce something that exceeds what can be produced by someone else that only manages to work on that skill occasionally.
This does not mean the second person is bad at that skill, they just need more practice, and practice takes time.

It's easy to look at someone else's work, compare it to your own and think that you are going nowhere, or are bad at it. This is not how it should be done: Look at your own past work, and compare it to now. The only time to get worried is if your current work doesn't meet your past quality (so get out there and do something about it ). In all other cases you should see that you have improved.

One other thing on that; If your work appears to have reached a plateau. Do not despair. You have reached a good base level, NOT your peak. Now is the time to learn something new and build upon that good base. You can always improve, if you want to (and are not too lazy to try), because everyone can improve; even those at the top of the tree.

This does not mean avoiding better artists and their seemingly unattainable skills. It means being critical of your own work and spotting where their's is better; then you can learn how to achieve that to move your work forward.

There will always be someone better than you for everyone except the one person that is at the top, and remember that that one person has to run just to stand still. You have an advantage over that person, you have something to aim for.

Aim to be the best that you can be, not the best of the best, and you will always win.

And when it comes to art in particular, NEVER say that you can't do this or that. What you mean to say is that you fall short of being able to achieve a product that you have seen someone else produce. Have you worked for as long and as hard as that person had to produce that work? No, you have not. The best artists have failed more times than you have tried, that is why they have "succeeded" where you have "not".

Get back to work.

Advice: don't stay in the bath too long or you'll prune up something rotten...

We all go through the hobby doldrums though for various reasons - but I can well relate to what you're feeling and is why I backed out of competitions for quite a while. I just enter the ones I'm interested in now and have an urge to actually make / paint something for it. If I'm not digging the theme I don't take part... I also make / paint for me, so I don't care anymore about whether I win or get the wooden spoon - as long as I like what I've done, then I'm golden

I agree with Gits, always trust your gut. If you aren't sure get input then use your gut

Thank you all for your wonderful support, and brilliant advice, I really appreciate it. I know it is just me having a toddler moment, will grow up in a minute. In the mean time....

I have a nasty feeling he is going to be a bit too large, but heres me starting....bits...


And a little greenstuff work....


Thank you for putting up with me...

Good start.. I have trouble filling in gaps!

I have toddler moments all the time, so no worries. Your a great painter and your speed is rediculous, so stop it . Since he is going to be a big lad and a pirate he needs to have a chest of booty, maybe a chest full of marine helmets that he has a Kaptain Morgan leg stood up on. He can be adding this prize to his relic collection.

^that's a brilliant idea Theo!!!!! Wanna see the pose and the stuffed chest!!!

British men take baths instead of showers? Yuck. Well, at least you bath, unlike your neighbors to the east (or so the rumors go...)

A bit of advice: Stop painting Orcs and Marines for a while. It makes how many years you've been painting those? Get something very different, something outside of your comfort zone, something that you won't fall into routines while painting.

Have you hear of Otherworld minis? They are in the UK. Some cool stuff based on the original AD&D Monster Manual. Or something, anything else. It will encourage you to experiment.

I wonder if you could find yourself a box of "Realistic Dinosaurs" to paint up?

First off: http://www.minipainterink.com/im-throwing-away-my-brushes/
Second off: A "little" greenstuff work?! YOU MADE A WHOLE FACE! O.o man I can't even get a stupid gap in a limb to look right ><

really really love your ork stuff!

No worries Cam, real life does take main place, better that you get things dealt with first so the work you do stays awesome!

Thank you.

@ Solar, If any of my armies looked half as good as yours I would be happy, thank you sir. Appreciate the comment.
@ Theo, Well see below, you are a wonderful chap Theo.
@Vik I agree and see below..
@ Red very true words and I shall, no honestly I will, just shortly, promise. And I love the look of the Otherworld stuff, one day I will get around to ordering something.
@Anvildude, and yes indeed that too would be a welcome distraction, thinking about something completely different soon.
@Guildenstern Thank you, and thanks for the link, that helps. Oh and your modelling skills are pretty spectacular, having to seriously up my game on the LoER comp cus of you.
@ Shas, Thank you sir, bugger reality it sucks I am staying here.

And at last here you go.....still early stages...



And just added a collar to his coat, which still needs loads of work done.



Thank you all your wonderful.

Wow...
It is your stuff, Cam that makes me want to send an overlord over to you for a new cloak. Great work as always.

That's a really impressive sculpt Cam. Your skills just get better and better the more projects you take on.

The peg leg made me smile. Love it.

Am reminded of the pirate captain from one of the ice age films, exactly what an ork pirate should be

Bigger the better! Would like a massive ork for my mob. Good work.

Thank you so much guys

Getting stuck in now......little progress...this is a dry fit at mo, bit of tak holding some bits, still very WIP.




Rediculous gun, and loads of stuff hanging about his waste to come, got a bunch of heads to fill the chest.

as always I really appreciate you taking the time to comment, all welcome.

Awesome, giant orc pirate Kinda feel bad for that speesh marhreen.

You do good work, kick that negativity you crazy fool.

Good grief, that slaughtered marine really gives an idea of the sheer size of him. Hmm, Slaughtered Marine - good name for a pub...

Yarrr it's glorious!

Man I going to get a law written that you can't have self doubt. The quality of your work is supurb. But a little doubt now and again propels us for greatness so maybe embrace it?

I love the model you are making. Maybe do a Saber and a naval captain hat with a big puffing feather. Maybe make the squig have feathers as well and paint it like a parrot?

The space marine should be painted as an ultra marine. Har har.

Thank you.

@ panda, welcome back, and feather incoming, and parrosquig.

Kinda over me main duldrums, but still upset with me painting, will be working on that.

Taking my time with this one here on the sculpt.

Here we are....

Waistline...


So got a bunch of bits together, I was aiming for old/ relic-y stuff. Not sure I got that.


And heres the bunch of heads for the chest...


On a side note, my son dumped this in front of me, think it is pretty cool, so thought I would share....


Thank you for looking, keep the comments coming, really helping me at mo.

Better a red coat...

Awesome cam! For his belt he needs two pistols! And that squigg parrot idea would fit like a glove to!!!

Sorry Vik ninja'd you, his belt has 2 pistols a shotgun a grenade, a knife and an axe, oh and a pouch and a spare rokkit shell.

Not sure if this will help you or not, but I got to tell you it is _really_ annoying to see someone with so much talent getting all down about some other area where they are merely above average.

Your kitbashing is phenomenal.
Your greenstuff work is ridiculously good.
Your imagination and creativity in getting it all put together is superhuman.

Your painting is pretty good.

Dude, my painting is pretty good - but my modelling skills are gak compared to yours

Don't be hard on yourself dude, keep cranking out paint jobs on whatever you can and I'm quite certain you'll match your modelling skills. I'll really dislike you then though

Thanks KB,

His kombi weapon....




Totally illegal, but I don't really care.

Looks great.

Nothing like somegreen Whaag to shake away the blues!

i wonder how he would ever be able to pull the trigger of his belted bolter with fists like these......love the cheerfulness of this in every aspect very old- school model...
where is the raised fist from? looks like a toy one?

the chest btw is a highly detailed and so iconic looking already!

and...i don´t feel ninja´ed at all about that issue...as think i stated somethng obvious...i think there is no two ways about as to how to out- kit a pirate Kaptain...

Thanks.

@ LT Indeed and thanks bud.
@ Vik, Correct no idea what toy , but was a robot, fist happens to be a good size for this project. Luckily my son deposits miscellaneous body parts on my desk, so didn't dismember his toy. And I have no idea how he does it!

So PIP, well still WIP, he is still i many parts so yes he is tak'd together for a photo shoot, early stages on the paint.






Thanks for looking in.

there were times when my kids wanted to share their legos for my own sinister modelling projects...but now they´re finally quite some misers^^ when their toys are concerned^^

LOL....i just realized that the Kap´n has a bionicle eye and an eyepatch......
and the shoepeak is a nice detail!

Good work, Cam'.

I wondered what you were doing on his head before you filled it in with plastic. Good hat.

I know it's wip, but the red and white of his coat is a bit santa-like...

'Hoist the skull and teef!' Brilliant work, Cpt'n of the warg.

LOL! He's fantastic!

A beard squig? Great stuff, er, green stuff, er, whatever. You know what I'm saying.

There's nothing but win with this captain. Truely a monster with his size, and to have a bionic eye and an eye patch is Truely sweet work.

So full of awesome.

I love the staked marine on his choppa.

That sword needs a golden hilt, and the marine needs golden edging and a pommel on the handle of that blade showing years of Ork looting of the finest qualities. (Maybe a space marine storm shield (hand guard) and power fist pommel?)

Really good start to the painting the marine is well shaded. You intend to do blood?

Arrh that's amazing! Incredible green stuff skills, especially on the face.

EDC

That's some serious SM Stabbin!

Thank you all so much.
still very much wip and me blocking in things....


Chest full of heads.....


Giant feather in his cap...


Detailed sword hilt...



I really like the hilt as is, but should I go gold?
And what colour beard? tempted by Yellow, but not sure if i might offend, there is a yellow beard here abouts!

Yes there will be blood, and much more detail.

Thanks for looking,

There can be only one choice. Cutlass. With a basket hilt. And Gold/Brass of course.

Gold.

Love it dude. As always pleasing technically and visually............

Aye! That thar Ork Freebooter Kaptin is looking right sharp! Arrrrrr!

Your son is good with Legos, so modeling he may be a chip of the old block eh?

It has to be gold. Orks only want the richest stuff. Or bone.. claim it was carnifex tooth.

Gold for the hilt- but make it really, really dirty. So basically just drybrush some gold over the top, so it's still mostly black.

I like the carnifex tooth idea

Thank you,

Well lets see what you think. This is still WIP, but getting not too far away.

First that hilt...


The trunk...


Green skin....


Red coat....


Blue UM...


And overall at the mo....


Like I say, got some touch up to do, and still have idea to add, still got to decide colour of his beard and his feather.

Not sure I will bother to enter him in comp.

As always please pick it to pieces, all comments welcome.

I like it , plus all the blue accents make him lucky too. If he holds the ultramarine upside down then he gets even more lucky (horseshoes/omega symbol)

Beard should be red.

it´s a great looking model mate! my wife loved it, when i showed it to her...she also stated it is a bit too colourful...take that with your pinch of salt as you see it but you are asking to be picked apart so i will add my own little nit pick here... it´s the coat...the backside of the kaptain still looks like dough...i would strongly recommend you to sand it all smooth down or to add a thin and helpful layer of GS...to make some creases and so on...this is the only weak point of the model i can see...
as for the beard... why not add just a wash and have him a white beard?...the hilt looks btw very nice...didn´t dream of using such a pice for that part would look that good! (the blade with the marine is atm only bluetacked on...right? otherwise the bendy position is a bit akwaard...)


Automatically Appended Next Post:
oh...and i see no point for not entering that lovely piece to the comp...but that´s up to you and whether you want to avoid getting bloody nose and all then...

I'd agree with Vik - the major weak spot is the jacket. Looks too lumpy at the moment. The orky skin on the gun arm is lovely though, especially like the redness around the tubes...

Thanks guys, I agree, I messed up the finish on the coat. Should have sanded it, but I have such a nice red on there I dont want to mess it up....maybe I have gone too far but see below. This is still very WIP, got details to keep adding yet.










Thanks for looking, and keep the comments coming. I think Mrs.Vik made a good point about it being too colourful, but I am a bit torn on that as this is a Freebooter Kaptain, in my world they are as big and bold and brash as it gets! Think once I finish this up and get the trukk sorted I am going to take Reds advise and do something completely different, and make it grubby, not cartoony.

Hard to tell if you initially planned the coat that way or if you got lucky ideas on the way through...but I like the patched up look now very much and the shoulderpad shields are a wonderful idea too! The cartoony look is without reference to my wife, but for me it totally works. It is a bit more gory than I would have expected, but I was always imagine ultra smurfs as rather bloodless folks the kaptain barbarossa is a stunning piece and with his fellow lol companion he reminds me of that expensive games day(?) Waagh boss with his grot....

Good work, Cam'.
The patches are a good addition.

For critique I'll say work on smoothness for next time; in painting and sculpting.

Your skin looks good and smooth, but the blue of the SM's armour is not as smooth. I think it stems from the Ork painting, which your style works well for.

So, as a side project I think you should go for something that requires clean, smooth painting and focus on that. It'll be a nice change of pace and will help you in all painting.

Thank you guys, very much appreciated.

OK final shots, could do more but got to draw a line somewhere, so this lot is votable, and I think I will enter it in the comp it was for, not that I think it will do any better than last month, but might give someone a laugh.













Thanks for looking, back soon with trukk update.

is that a lizard hide patch?...cool idea! one of the best features of your models is ou can always come back a zillion times and find new details to enjoy....that is probably your best feature!

also...*coughsspottedamoldlineonthrightshoulderpadcoughs*

and that one pic confused me....is the torso detachable?...interesting...


Automatically Appended Next Post:
also...he´s missing a tooth...right?...cool^^ just like in the cap morgan add^^

So, it's a Half-Orc?

That's a crazy amount of detail on one base, good sir. A feast for the eyes. Very much enjoyed. And great texturing on the coat. I do dislike super smooth surfaces, and super smooth paint jobs. It makes the mini look like a plastic toy.

Now, to be TFG. If you are going to try and improve the painting skills, may I suggest less elaborate projects so that you may focus on techniques and all that paintery stuff?

Mega! i want one

Really great job Cam. So much creativity on exhibition. I just can't get over the fact that you sculpted that whole guy. Really cool.

He has come out to be one awesome Ork!

Excellent work from start to finish. Making smooth cape is hard, but I think this is more a pace of work than actual skill.

You made this thing from start to finish rapidly and crafted almost all of it. That is AMAZING.

However, I think to get us smooth lovers out of the way you just need to take your time and smooth before you step onward.

Your painting is going well and clearly shows brush skill. I think a lot of what you are lacking is simple techniques that everyone uses to get expected results. The solution is to watch youtube videos and practice on things you don't own so you don't have to live with the results. You know? Knock over the local game store and stuff. It's what I do, well local friends get a "free" paint job. Ha.

Thank you all.

@ Vik, Thank you sir. Typical of you to spot that. He is magnetised at waist , gun arm and sword hilt. Main reason is ease of painting, but also for instance the sword will be a weak point, this way its just a magnet.

@ Red, Thank you, much appreciated. Well not a complete departure next, Space marines for Git's comp I am afraid so off to other thread.

@ Stoned_astartes, Thank you, and you need but ask.

@ Gits, Thank you as always my friend, much appreciated.

@ Shas, Thank you too, Just about where I wanted him, bit bigger than I really wanted, and not as much stuff as I wanted, but got to draw the line somewhere.

@ Panda, Thank you. My issue is I have no patience. If I take my time I like to think I can give the best a run for their money. Just never ever take my time.

Well heres the trukk finished, had enough of it now, so it will be off to Oz the end of the month, to join KB's Dakka Ork clan project. Great little project, check it out here...
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/656634.page

Here you go.....















Thanks for looking, back soon.

Yep, you won me other with the patches on the jacket - vast improvement and looks like it was meant to be all along...

Dat Truk is just... well words fail me... a work of Orky art, pure and simple...

What a fun model!

That trukk is da best.

And you give the best a run for their money. Trust me.

Just seen the finished pirate, excellent work and really characterful.

EDC

Cam, I love the pirate! so well done, his face is spot on with that beard and blend into pink on his lip! you can just see the effort and skill in putting him together, be damn proud of that one! i've got some more old metal Orks if you want them for more goodness? :-)

Your skills have too much awesomeness!

Keep up the excellent work!

The Kaptain looks quite orkish indeed! How did you get the space marine on the sword? I'd assume you split the sword, but maybe there's a different method I don't know about. The Trukk is amazing looking with the hot rod front and train feel. I assume this would just be a terrain piece? It's quite big for playing.

Thank you all, sorry nothing Orky to update, but soon I think.

Thought I would answer some of your amazing posts.

@ Gits, Ruglud, Nerdy, Low_K and EDC....thank you guys, I very much appreciate your support, it means a lot to me.

@ cormadepanda.......Thank you, and I try, but patience is my enemy, and I get upset over sillyness.

@ JustaerinAt TheWall.....Thank you, yes the sword is split, though you could easy dremel a hole through the marine. And the Landtrain is now with its new owner in Australia, gave it to KB_Lock for a display piece for his Dakka Dakka Clan project. Could easily be used as a piece of terrain in game, but if you wanted to you could break it down and maybe get away with calling it a Battlewagon.

@ Nerdy...........I am trying the flesh tone thing on the orks, not really getting it to convey itself on pictures though. Think I may try some experiments.

As to next, well working on too many things at mo, but need to focus. Got a couple tank ideas, and an orky outpost idea, still trying to sculpt some nice pigs, might actually be getting there on that one! So something will appear here shortly. Need to find my mojo jojo, ran off someplace.

Summer is a tough time for me; so many things to get done. Find something fun,simple and different and hopefully it recharges the battery.

Well been a while, need to get an orky something going, bit of fun, so made this ages ago and been sat looking at me for a long time, let's get something done with it.

Built up a plynth for it. Going for a ruined something, the orks have commandeered to build the statue on...



Then got to adding a bit more to the actual bust itself....





Going to have a few Grots building it still, can just be a dio, or could be used in game as an objective, or even dangerous terrain, mess with it and you will get Grotted.

Anyways, Thanks for looking, please leave a thought.

Bit of progress...




Went for mossy ancient steps, I quite like it.

Popped a bit of rust on top of a metallic base coat on the iron plate the statue will sit on...


And then was building up the bronze...

First Silver then Gold ...


Then a white wash...

The idea is the future washes will not just be over the gold, they will hit the white and be deeper.

And after a sepia wash...



Thanks for looking.

Man is that cool!

Good sculpt there, Cam'.

Is there a particular reason (that I may have missed) that he's only got one ear?

Wow .. Amazing the things that come out of your brain.. Love the expression on the face. Good Show!

Thank you gents, much appreciated.

@ Gits, Thanks bud.
@ DrH, Not sure really, but some things will be revealed.
@ Solar_lion, Thank you, my brain is indeed a scary place.


Been adding a bit to this.......






Thanks for looking in, thoughts always welcome.

Bit more done...





And a bunch of zoomable images...




More in the gallery. Thanks for looking.

is it supposed to be an orkified statue? the downed head looks like it belonged to some former imperial statue...also...just recognized the blood angles shoulderpad...

amazing piece...what surprises me tho is ths look on the face...tranquillity with surprise?...a new emotion for orks^^

"Under New Management" would be a good name for this piece.

Nicely done Cam. Your creative concepts and getting at the same time more expansive while having more subtlety to them. That's impressive.

What a gem!

Thanks for the feedback, been doing some other things for a bit, but now feeling decidedly orky, going to be doing an entry for the latest LoER comp. Link in sig.

So where to start....

Well I need a base....



And then as the theme is Noise thought I might start with.....


More progress shortly.

Noisy drums! very Orky!

OOOh MAN! Great Idea!

Thunder drums.. dun ta dah!

Well having had a tiny tot tantrum on my other blog, best give you something here to chew on....



Thanks for looking and thank you guys for the comments, very much appreciated, and yep, drums, hopefully lots of drums.

Hmmmm buildings!

More along the lines of a stage, or possibly a very big waaagh tower/ converted ruin.

It is making me think of making some buildings after the sound fence defense tower for the noise pollution contest.

I don't think that those are drums... I'm thinking something a bit more... electric.

Cool drums dude.

EDC

Nice marbling effect on the building.. How'd you do that?

Most people's idea of a "base" is a flat surface, a few rocks, and part of a building...
Cam's idea of a "base" is a 3+ story building...

Good start, Cam'.

*chuckle* I half expect Cam to stick an ork boy on top of there as "the figure". He's such an over-achiever...

Damn..How DID you do that marble?

 Gitsplitta wrote:

No, the whole piece is for the Olier Grot to go with the Big Mek. You should see what the Big Mek is based on. #wholewreckedTitan

Thanks all, really means a lot to me.

OK so, Solar and Dave, there is no paint on this yet, not sure if you just mean the modelling, in which case here you go...



It is Foam core.


Remove one side of the paper..


Carve a little with a knife...


Take a pointy object and scratch in some cracks..


A very brief flash of heat...


Glue it in place. I have advised many times about the dangers of heat and flames and plastics, do not do it unless very comfortable with your environment. But this is very much a nano second of a flash of flame at the foam. Added benefit it will not melt when I spray it.

Also got this for £4 at Home Bargains (equivalent to dollar store I guess)..


Nice little organiser...


Oh and did a few of the bits for the "base"...


Thanks for looking in.

Again, WARNING I am an idiot who puts live flames to polystyrene in my house, be a more responsible adult than me and do anything like that outside. Or not at all. Probably best. But it is how I do it I am afraid.

Stage is looking set, just missing the wires and cables a rock band uses so much. Any chance of fireworks set up?

I WAS right... more electric! Keep at it!

Thanks.. the effect is cool. The way it was photographed it looked just like marbling.

right! The angle of light reflection in that pic looked like marble striations. LOVE those big Orky amps!

Thanks all,

Now for some interior work...



Staging to expand the floor space..



And the some of the speakers...



Thanks for looking in, more soon.

Liking the rust, the wooden floor in the building, and the grates on the speakers really set them off.

wow you really made this 'PoP' in such a short time. Agreed the rust was done masterfully.

Haha this is shaping up quite well!

Oh wow. afraid my entry to the noise making terrain is gonna be simple, and not as showy as some of the others

Looking good, like the rust! How did you do it?

Yes the rust is fantastic

Thank you all,

Think I will do a tut on my rust methods, for now, a little progress...............





Thanks for stopping by.

Little bit more....

Genie for power..


Mixing deck...


Speakers in...not wired...



And added a little detail to the outside..


Thanks for looking, comments welcome.

Madness. Glorious madness.

All I can do is shake my head, and hope you have some Goff Rokkers to go in there.

Thanks I think! hehe, thank you guys.

Slight rebranding, was not happy with the band name, try this instead...




Bit of cable management..


Let there be drums...


Banner to go somewhere....(made of pure hotglue!...


As it stands....


Thanks for looking, back soon.

didn´t get the first band name...dakka and duffs?...but ii understand the second one quite good...

awesome and big set up!!! love it...these are out to make some noise fer sure!^^

btw...you show us how innovative scratchbuilding is done... that mixing deck and the generator look totally convincing!

love the whole idea!


also...banner from hot glue??? how?...

Dang! no way will my sonic fence concept beat that Orky-someness of that rock concert set up. Just have to try as I am sorely lacking terrain anyway.

Great gork or morka! This is really shaping up to be something epic.

I agree with shas mine won't even come close but il be happy if i even finish it haha.

Nice one cam.

Cam, you are brilliant... and you never cease to amaze & inspire me. Wow.

Needs some brown M&Ms in the backstage areas

Very much eye candy. I like it.

Cam, you are a machine. Or at least a cybork. Excellent work.

Great progress and looking good.

Good choice to change the name, much more Orky.

Thank you all. Very much appreciated.

Getting the band together.

Looks Great!!!

Thanks bud...

OK Vik how I made a Hot Glue Banner...

Take a sheet of baking sheet/greaseproof paper..


Put on the top of the banner across...


Put some downward runs, try and make them seperatem though if your glue is hot it will become one lump...


Then using a scrapper, I have these cheap metal ones, I start at the top and drag down over, dont press too hard....


Should be like this...


Then trim it up a bit and peal it off the paper...


Start painting...


End up with this...


Admittedly I did heat the tip of a knife and "sculpt" the glue a little around the top to get the folds in a little better, and also the back will always be flat from the paper, though I guess you could turn it over and add more glue..

It remains flexible, takes paint well, and for my purposes here, where these will probably be hanging on walls, they are perfect, cheap and chearful.

Oh and got a couple of the guys started on the band...


Thanks for looking, hope someone finds it useful.

The bands coming together...



Best give them something to play....



Thanks for looking, comments welcome.

That will be a dynamic looking entry Cam!

The stage looks awesome and the band are start to look real cool. Love the plasticard guitar.

EDC

Oh wow. This is completely epic

Awsomesauce... with extra red hot chili peppers!

Great work. Liking the band and their instruments.

Wow, you've been busy! that's a clever technique with the glue, and some excellent freehanding, I might add! Ready for the debut show!

I really want to build a drum set now...I have a 1:8 scale kit, but it's huge.

Thank you all so much, really appreciate the comments, keep me going.

RL is blah still, we all seem to be having a year of it. But there are ups as well as the downs.

More importantly I am making a little progress....




And started on a lighting gantry.....


And some spots to go on it....




Thanks for stopping by, hope you like, thoughts as always welcome.

Oh Wow! Lights are amazeballs! That guitar is among the greatest things I've ever seen.

Wow. Those lights are looking brilliant.

EDC

So much soul for a rock band ... looks really cool, the lights look mighty promising... guitar is an amazing piece of work...mebbe a flame job too, to make it into a unique gem?

Those lights are.... spot on.

I see your... point.

Good job on the parkans. Look the part.

Thank you all guys, much appreciated. Going to rework the gantry, too bulky.

Done a little on the Band...







Still working on the lead singer...



So where I am at...


Still lots to do...

Thoughts appreciated.

love the poses...last one is the singer?...

my favourite tho are the guitar players...slash? and the other one...amazing work matey!

Yeah, great poses. Work very well.

Oh Wow man! That's fething great! I have no words other than rock on!

Love the progress you're making Cam, the whole scene is looking really fantastic! Details make all the difference, and you sure know how to handle those!

That is one awesome set up Cam!

Thank you.

Well getting close, might just about call it, and see if I can get some good daylight shots of this.






Thanks for looking thoughts appreciated as always, really does matter to me.

Hahahaha, I love looking at your work man - this train still has me in awe

Hi KB, thanks bud, nice to know someone is looking.

So final pics...













Well thats that, kinda struggling at mo, so hard finish, had much more to add but out of time and enthusiasm. Life hard, as it is for many, this has been a really crap year, really happy to see some of my dakka friends making good progress, this keeps me afloat at the moment. See you around guys.

This has so much win, it's epic.

Love it!

Jesus wept, that's crazy good. So much going on, amazing work!

Cam,
Your work never fails to bring a smile to my face and a shake of my head to the craziness you bring. If you are ever gone from Dakka, I will know that it is because the men in the white coats have finally caught up with you!

That's fantastic Cam. As bad as your year was, you still manage to model and paint with unbridled joy and humor. Says so many good things about you. Don't give up on yourself. Love to see the new techniques you've included... the OSL from the spots is great. I think the drummer on the big orange kettles is my favorite! Wonderful work!

Crazy good bud, crazy good

Pics ought to be also in the competition thread, that diorama is fantastic!

Awesome work. Love the guitarists and the singer.

Rock and roll!

EDC

And the nice little details make this an even more awesome piece.

Hahaha what a great diorama. Excellent work!

Beautiful work, Cam! Those Orks look like they're having a great time. I assume they're playing METAL ?

i think you have that round wrapped up mate...who could ever hope to beat something so storytelling and breath taking like that...it´s like a storm of details...

well done wouldn´t cut it in a million years...

dang^^

cheers, vik

Great job. Lots of details and nice feeling of movement.

The only thing I may have done differently is the lighting/osl, not that there is something wrong with your's, just as an alternative.
I'd have painted the majority of the piece in dark tones and painted the areas in the spotlights in normal colours/tones. That thought just came to me so I couldn't have said earlier, we can all try and remember it for next time we do osl on a diorama...

Not even sure what to make of that, it's so good.

Rioght orky dat is.

Bwahahahahahahaha. That is pure awesome. Never change dude, keep the crazy and awesome flowing.

Braveheart, good sir! Insanity and ingenuity start with the first to letters for a reason(Probaly for some dumb grammar rule, but let's not, shall we?)! The OSL is pretty good, and I might inquire as to how you got this effect. Perhaps a quick spray of yellow at the right angle?
Thanks for everything my dude,
JATW.

Thank you all for the wonderful comments, it''s a tough competition, and everyone else produced excellent work that is actually terrain, not a dio masquerading.

@JATW The OSL is a technique stolen from the the ever inspirational Klaus not Santa, once everything was in place, gave it a light dusting of white at the appropriate angle and then yellow. I also dropped some black wash behind them to form shadows where I wanted them. Hope this helps.

Looks like Tek needs help with a voting poll for our competition there Cam

OK, every time I have a bit of GS left over I have been adding a bit to this....


So I made a mould up and cast it. Added some sprue teeth...



And have started throwing some paint at it, still WIP but here you are a squig...






Scale shot..did I mention he is quite large....


Thanks for looking, C&C always welcome, back soon.

i feel awkward to say this but it needs to be said...that squigg looks adorable! and the option to make a million of these...
what i would suggest tho would be to have the legs separate to alter the pose there...but other than that...simply splendid!

Big squig! Nicely done my friend.

Haha look at that toothsome lass!

Heh. Nice work on the squig, really cool.

EDC

Thanks folks,

Next up here, is a model Nerdy sent me a while ago. I have started to do some remodelling....





Thanks for looking,

Looking good so far.

I like the nose with the grill.
