Uncomfortable isn't the word Vik

try awkward in the way when you first attempt to ask a girl out but have absolutely no idea how to talk to her and just stutter and mumble and sweat profusely

and yes, this happened to me

The bit about the league, not the girl bit

lol... i dunno if the latter... which did happen to me is better^^...

Lols Oh Vik, you slay me dude

i speaketh the truth^^

And that... is why you slay me my friend

not my intention tho but good to know it works... might be usefull someday

haha you never know... you never know

aye^^

Well i rectified that grievous error. I hope you dont think i was slighting you by not flying the banner, i literally had no idea!

edit: Damn, hang on a sec .

wait a second... am I the youngest member of the =][_,= !??!?

There you go, now tis done

Look around Vit, most of us have and welcome to the club!

So only the majority portion of the piece has to be made from the cookie container? Does that mean I can use some Popsicle sticks and what not?

^ Yes the cookie container is a manditory building material, so as long as you have that you can go wild!

yup... you can add everything... even GW bitz ... as long as a substantial mass of the cookie package material (inner and outer stuff whatever it is whatever you may call it...) is recognizable...!

Rogue wolves... define youngest...
Since I am second youngest according to the list i'm guessing its not age mate, cuz you would then all be ancient! Whahahaaa... and no, if we count membership you are also not the youngest...
But while on the subject... how old is everyone anyways...



34 me :S

40.....


No old man jokes, please.....

The ripe old age of 20

34

Shees, I am old aren't I????

Nah, 40 is still middle aged. 50 is when i start to consider people 'old'

Nah, 40 aint old...

41, now thats old...

I'm an ancient 16, you guys seem like kids compaired to me!

Ha! With my white beard and 17 years, I'm superior to you, Rogue!

No Max, sounds like the perfect age to me

31 here...

´m 38 this year... and max... you ain´t no old bum... you are our most venerable member...

Damn, meddling kids......

some people have no poetic streak inside them, eh?

There once was a kid from Near Boston
Who's on-liners and wierdness cost him.

With smarts in the crapper
and a frown on his face when Max tossed him.....

There once was this youngster from overseas
His remarks brought him up to his knees

They shovelled him down
And they then ignored all his pleas

lovley

HAHAHA!!!! The -=][_,=- Proudly presents "The Limerick Contest" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

The riviter league held a contest,
To find out whoever would be best.
At building terrain,
Or poetry plain.
Not realizing everyone would just jest



And to think English is my second language

Confused beyond help,
Vitruvian writes haiku,
Rivet Zen achieved.

There once was a man from Nantucket...
He carried his rivets in a bucket
How happy was he
with rivet gun on his knee
Admiring his rivet artistry

Dave, that doesn't work.



The word Artistry should be something that rhymes with bucket....

"There once was a man from Nantucket...
He had for his rivets a bucket
How happy was he
rivet gun at his knee
With extra rivets falling out of his pocket"




Sorry to go all english major on ya......

yeah yeah, feth it was all I could think of

but I hate to tell you professor..
pocket doesn't rhyme with bucket

"There once was a man from Nantucket...
He told the imperial guard to suck it
he said I cant serve you see,
I took a rivet to the knee
But the commissar told him to suck it

you guys are amazing... seriously...

By the way Vik, updated my fiction thread mate, just so you know

i know... i read the second update and i know there is already a third... hopefully i will be able to read it tomorrow... as now i will go to bed... i know i am lazy and i am owing you some comments on your fine minis you last updated still too

there once was a thread
(and a great one, you bet)
which was about a contest
between the Leaguers to test
their building and riveting skills.
But soon they discovered the thrils
of joking and kidding and rhyming.
The threads qual'ty was quicly climbing
and the riveters were having a great deal of fun
with poem, jest and pun!

Chop Chop Vik, get to work! Sleep is for the dead, or the rivetless...

HAHA LMAO Merlin!

There was a man called Dave
Who kept a dead whore in a cave
He said "I admit
I am a bit of a gak
But think of the money I save".

Wow Rogue, i hope that was off a funny limerick site, cos if not i worry for whats in your head!

This thread died suddenly..I wonder why?

gotta agree... while poetry sure has it´s value... a small update wont hurt...

AND...

remember that the finishing line to this contest is coming ever so closer... 5th of september mates... not the sixth or the seventh... no it is the fifth...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There once was a thread
were people were rhyming
....but that wasn't what the thread was about, so they stopped it.

lol

wait.... 4th of september? Oh, yeah, that's like... soon. I'll be done building the thing tomorrow, then It'll get some paint.
And I really have a problem: so far, the factory doesn't really look like a cookie factory.... how can I make it look like one? Put plenty of boxes full of cookies in front of it?? Help!

YES!!! that would be cool... and youo could make one of these boxes spill out some cookies too... just do them with small holepunched discs of cardboard or PC... and then add sprinkled sand on them for that extra tasty structure^^

well, what is there except putting cookies there... How can I modify the actual building to look like a cokie factory?
Oh and I wanted to put an unconcious/dead grot somwhere in the mud, lying in a puddle of vomit with half a cookie a few feet away from him.... y'know, ork kookiez aint nothin fer da weak!

Thanks for the article, and I've replaced the link!

hey VIT... now that´s what i call dedication to the cause!!!

simply awesome!

That's awesome, Vit! Thank you!

This is still WiP, but it's coming together:




I need to get as much of this done tomorrow as possible - I've pulled some killer shifts at the hospital, and I don't know how much time I'll have over the next few weeks. Worked 70 hours last week, and that was the lightest of the next 3 D:
Would be absolutely gutted to get this far and not finish.

On a side note, has anyone had any luck painting cellophane yet? That's one of my next steps. And I'd love to hear what you think of the generator set-up so far!

THat motor is Fantastic Scarp! Is it one of those little party popper things?

The generator is great. cellophane will tend to bead up paint. tiniting it with ink like substances is possible but a pain. You might have to pick up some "plastic primer" from Valspar, or Krylon to paint it.

Wow i love that blue!

that is fantastic scarp! FANTASTIC!

We made Dakka's front page!

Why haven't I been informed earlier?
Seriously now, cool idea vic! Can't wait to see all the results.

thanks baiyuan... blame it on you getting sucked in games^^


and scarper....wonderful....and you even did that despite your cruel workinghours...


it will be indeed some hurtful deed to decide between all that excellent stuff you all are able to chuck out...

This thread hit the front page. And the -=][_,=- expands again......

The cellophane is a pain in the butt, but I find that with something like latex paint (for walls) you can build up a nice primer layer. The problem is keeping it stick, as every touch will cause the paint to just crack and come off.

Darn Vik really gave us a tough one...

Coat it in superglue or pva or something? Or you could skim a thin layer of gs or liquid gs or milliput or something over the top.

sorry guys.... but i will hopefully feel your pain soon too...:







which will all be soon worked with on my own... i can´t let you have all the fun alone...now can´t i?

Nice job Vit

A coat or two of pva sorts the cellophane out just fine. Don't forget to add a drop of washing-up liquid to break the surface tension.

Amazing work here. Really impressed by the participation as well. Tough judging for sure, and some amazing new pieces on the tabletop for all who entered!

That said, I have to drop from this one and will likely skip the next couple. I have some IRL stuff to manage and there's no way I'd offer a proper entry at this point.

I'll still be on Dakka as much as possible and update my other stuff as I can. Dave's surprise package arrived today, it's amazing. Will post pics later.

Thanks a lot for the kind words, guys!

@Dave - it's actually an expired vial of insulin and some plasticard tubing. Making the most of trash!

Cheers for the tips with the cellophane too - PVA seemed to work out fairly well for me!

@Skalk - That sucks, man, hope you can sort out whatever's going on as soon as possible - it's a damn shame that real life takes precedence sometimes.

I'm nearly done, but I'm working 13 and a half hour shifts this weekend, so here's hoping I can make the final few touches I need to. Good luck to all on the finish!

Also! The deadline is September 4th - that's 23.59 GMT on September 4th, right?

LOL... yeah... i think whatever it takes to give you the best results... so 23:59 it is on the fourth of september^^

now you get to make the TOUGH choices!

Looks like i'm not gonna make it guys... got three days of late shifts ahead of me... I'll try getting it done, but the 5th is my first day off

and another one bytes the dust due to RL... bugger that... sorry to hear that maus... but i can feel your pain there...


about the tough choices... at monday i have a very long work day myself... so i will literally be able to see into your presentations not till the fifth... if there is not too much maoning... would it be ok to lenghthen the time till the 5th of september till modnight CET? actually i could do this without permission... as i am the regining tyrann for this competition

If it becomes the fifth I WILL make it on time!

then it is ruled...

Make it so,..

Edited for douchery.

I posted the massive LoER haul from Dave update on my Terrain Project thread a couple days ago, check it out if you have an interest.

Not as finished as I would have liked, but I am pretty pleased, considering the time constraints. Kindly ignore the tin foil please - the sump is not quite set!






And a detail shot:


From what I can remember:
Box card -
Connects the girders supporting the fan
The bands on the generator
The pneumatic door to the silo
The slab of corrugated iron on the back of it

Plastic vacuum formed packaging -
The silo itself

Cellophane -
The tarpaulin over the entrance

Please click the picture - the photos are fairly massive, and you can zoom in and see my shoddy paint work.

Hope you enjoy, and good luck to everyone else!

Very impressive Scarp, looks great and I adore the weathering on the blue.

What did you use for the pipes? I thought it was plumbing hardware at first, but those flanges don't look like they come from there.

nicley done scarp, I like this one alot!

DOH! Gotta get this done tomorrow.... painting is mostly finished, but the grots, the cookies, the sign and some other stuff still needs to be done...

D'oh! I had it in my head that the deadline was today! Could totally have used that extra time when I have more than an hour off tomorrow

@Monkeytroll and RW - Thank you so much!

That's pretty intense Scarp. Very well done.

Today? ACK, ofcourse... I'm in a different time zone... I would have sworn i had my tomorrow to finish it all :S

Ack ack ack

But magnificent work scarp!

Could have done with a bit more finishing but ...




Few more shots on my blog.

Cookie packet made the generator body.

The cellophane wrapper made the tarp and the bits of cloth hanging of the sruts either side of the genny.

The box was used in : the floor tiles - the supports - one side of the old battery compartment, and the detailing on the compartment, including the two cables on top - the rear end of the genny - the detailing above the battery compartment - bits of the rubble piles.

Thanks dude!

I posted as I thought it was today, but on the last page vik does say he extends it to the 5th. You still have 23 and a half hours

Estimate time to Finish: 5 hours, barring any issues

Last painting work is in progress
Its good to have a day off

Looking good guys. Can't wait to see the last miute dash to the finish

D

Wow nice work scarp and monkey, that's some tough competition =)

Whew didn't think I was going to make it. That extension saved me.
My piece is a small derelict factory that once produced an innovative biscuit flavour. Or was it just a front for some questionable experiments?
I am planning to add a fence around the back and other details, but I am happy to be judged on the piece as it is.

I hope this isn't too many pics =S

Hahah drcheese you called it

Hey Two Spartan, nice work. Love the way you used the foil wrappers Especially the be tidy sign!

Nice weathering on the storage tanks!

Nice work.
I really like the weathering.
The product placement using the biscuit wrappers is genius.
Well done.

:wow That is excellent! Especially the lovely rust and the signage! The trash sign made me LOL

Done as I cAn be with this... The foil was killing for me... now with the lights fading here and my eyes tiring I must call this one done. There's millions more things I want(ed to do, but well... next one.
Anyways, shoot:







The foil ended up as an orange builders plastic. I figure if it keeps one dry, color doesn't matter. I just spraypainted the piece eventually after several ambitious tries to make something good of it. Now its just cracking paint, and so far it looks decent enough...







Thats this one for me guys... I know the 'floor' isn't exactly done, but thats because I haven't decided that yet on any of my terrain... and it has to all be the same. I'll show you why:





Yep, Modular!

Anyways... I loved the contest but hated the foil. looking at the competition I can only say I'm glad I'm no judge. Good luck all!

That's quality MauS, love the fact that it's modular with your existing terrain, nice touch

The stained matress is funky - in all respects

And I still think you get massive kudos for not doing the expected, and keeping the container right way up



Did you try PVA on the foil?

Yep, it even stuck for a while, until i tried to get some wrinkles in it, then it cracked.

eventually sticking it between two sticks of sprue as supports and then spraying turned the least ugly. It functions I guess...

Very nice work involved from everyone.

@two spartan.. if you care to give away a trade secret... how did you do that stuff with the cookie wrapper? that is effing fantastic!

These two last contests have brought out some amzing techniques in terrain building!!

DONE! (more or less, there could have been more grots...)
I got a bit rushed at the end....
I present you.....





See that yellow waste bag next to the outhouse? that's where I used the paper.

Sweet!

That looks great MrMerlin, and a nice sized bit of terrain too. Nice pipework on the building and the chimneys. Is that shower pipe as the hose?

Nice palette too, good use of the yellows. And liked the checks on he wall

nice use of the foil two spartan, love the choice to go with yellow, had it been a different color I dont think I would like it as much.. nice work! and Mr.Merlin, I love this thing!

This is an incredible thread

You know, the #1 condolence I have from not winning the last contest is that I don't have to judge this one. Good luck, Vik!

I was thinking the exact same thing, i dont envy you at all vik!

Excellent work here boys, just great.

@airborneginger the wrapper is just cut out stuck on the building with pva. The weathering is a mix of a few experiments, plain agrax earthshade looked best, it took off the shine and adhered really well.
The sign above the door and the tidy sign both just have agrax straight over the wrapper.

When I tried applying PVA, it didn't work at all. It just kind of flowed off.
But I have some old and thick foundation paints from GW, they stick to everything.

The PVA did however work very well on the actual cookie container.

Now Vik needs to logon and do the judging! Which will suck for him

is he avoiding it, ya think? I would.......

Vik, shirk his duties? You dishonour him good sir!!!

tbh, he's got a touch choice on his hands... but I can't see anyone losing out on this one either!

Hello you all!

i haven´t really tried to avoid any decisions... that´s not my style...

what happened was that worklife has swallowed me whole and spit me out after it chewed me a good deal too much... i was so drained the last days that i was in no condition to follow my duties as the judge for this competition...for this i plead forgivingness of you all... i will now see through all the entries and then after a small (and hitherto unknown amount of time ) i will speak my judgement...


and yes... it will be a tough one...


just to be on the safe side...iirc

Scarper, monkeytroll, Two Spartan , MauS, MrMerlin

have shown their final works... tho i recall many more of you folks to be wanting to compete in this competition??? correct me if i am wrong here...

I'm out, I had too much going on in the post-gencon madness.

HAHAH just read the middle part of this thread that i missed, laughed at the
dr who naivety, confusion of status in the league, age debate and limerick war XD

I usually skip most of the text as there are so many minis and threads to see, can't believe what iv been missing =D

Great stuff all.. some fantastic scenery here .. loads of inspiration ..

Loving the junk town vibe it all has..

Yeah i had to drop too. Sucks but the cookies were good.....

True..I ate 3 packages of cookies, so it was all good

3 packages for me, started on the terrain, but a certain aspect of life.. kept me away from it I'll have to try next time.. hopefully

you mean a girl RW..we know

Looking at the pics I posted in this thread it seems that not every detail is visible.... but they're huge so you can zoom in quite a bit in the gallery....

Idea for next LoER contest- 5 weeks instead of 4? Would not have helped me, but there would likely be more entries w/ a slightly longer timeframe?

The winner of each contest becomes lord, master, and judge of the next contest, and can set it up however they wish within the basic rules.

To be honest, i dont think a longer time would make any difference, people would just wait longer to start 1 month is plenty long for most things imo.

26 weeks. That's my final offer.

To be honest 52 weeks wasn't enough for the last two comps I entered

as dave said... the winner is the next lord of the upcoming competition...which is already chosen....

but at first let me tell you that the decision was very hard to make... i even got my wife into the fold to decide as i needed some unbiased perspective to look at the entries...the ruling then was unison so i am quite strong about my decision nevertheless the touchness i had to tackle^^

all entries i really loved... it was the cremè de la cremè of scratchbuilding terrain to be seen for this competition... each entry had for me some very cool details or moody specials that i enjoyed immensely... but it boils down to this...there can only be one winner... and that lucky and sad person is :






and finally i have to thank you all for joining this competition... i had tremendously fun to watch your works shape up to those extremly good looking terrain pieces!...

yours truly

viktor von domm

Congrats to all involved, and especially MrMerlin!

that good sir still don´t knows what hit him... or what will hit him^^

Well done indeed people, that was fun and hey, we all got a bit of terrain out of it

Good choice vik, hard decision to call, I was really torn between that and Scarp's.

What? What? I've won???

YEAAAAAAAH!!!!

This is the first hobby related contest I've ever won, and I was up against one hell of a competition!! You guys were AWESOME!

at Mrmerlin.... well said ... yep everything was pure awesome... you will be in quite a deep mess soon enough to decide on your own... you got any good ideas already for season three?


and monkey...

Oh yes, I already have a few ideas brewing. Mostly things I've always wanted to do myself.... why not see what you come up with first? LOL

Oh and

Mostly things I've always wanted to do myself.... why not see what you come up with first?

...

that was why i had this very competition theme started

Ok I have my mind made up about the guidelines of the next comp, when do I start the trhead? now?

i would start the new thread whenever you are ready... and for preferrence...

put a link in this thread so that the followers of at least this thread can switch to the new comp as easily as possible...

and maybe add a link to your sig...

well that is at least what i did

CONGRATS MERLIN!

Definately a well deserved win =) I had great fun competing in this competition, and now have a healthy sized piece of terrain aswell.

So exciting too, my phone lagged when i was revealing the winner, even more suspense XD

lol... with a terrain comp you always be a winner... the terrain always stays with you no waste of time...

congrats merlin a very nice nice peice, and a very hard choice for ya vik, I can think of 3 that I would have made tied for 1st

Cheers TwoSpartan and Rouge!

The next one is up!

Yeah! A justifiable winner! By far the most hilarious entry, and I too have a weakness for cowboys...

Congrats MrMerlin!

Congrats/condolences MrMerlin

RW...you don´t know how close to the truth you are

and switching over to the next comp thread^^

Congrats Merlin! I'm very glad I didn't have to pick the winner of that one, you managed to even top some of the terrain legends around here!

NICE JOB!!!!! Merlin great job and well deserved win, though there was some great entries and deserved a win in their own right.

But Merlin comedy and design shone through and you had Grots ……. is there a pattern emerging here

i disclaim any grot involvement that made me chose this entry for winner

the cookies did it for me

No I meant that Grots are always a winner come on it helped

Sorry I did not make the deadline but I was on holiday last week and with RL have had no real time to be honest.

i swear it was the cookies

You swear to much

well... manners... i am too poor for them

Please donate generously to the Vik manners and etiquette foundation, between us we can make him a better person ……. LOL

my wife probably would apreciate it if you uped my social skills too... i can be quite grumpy from time to time...

Cant we all just ask my misses …… hang on I don't think we are talking at the minute

Vik... the phrase: "Me thinks the lady doth protest too much" springs to mind...

lol... nope... for my wife i am the perfect gentleman... it´s peeps like neighbors or the kids parents that my kids are figting with that i think i should be more social adequate with...

There is nothing wrong with being grumpy, it just means that people or things are stupid and they are pissing you off. Why should you change? They should learn to quit being stupid!

Cheers to Merlin! Fully deserved! My grots wish they can make some photos at that landmark

*making note to include Grots in my next contest piece*

Grots'll win it every time

Great terrain everyone, WOW.

I love those Gin Biscuit posters too. I'll definitely stealing ideas from all of you.

Apologies for the absence - work has been pretty mad on my end! Seriously well done to everyone, all the entries were awesome. But a well deserved win, Mr. Merlin - the paintjob and the modelling just blew me away. Can't wait to see how everyone does with your new theme. Did Vik offer a Dave-level prize?

i am atm forging the price... sorry it will be way smaller... then again it will be something truly unique
