Those Plaguebearers look nice so far. Are you doing the green guts with inks?

Good to hear you're not dead in a ditch somewhere snazzy pus-boys, too

Thanks folks.

Yeah various inks and washes, and probably an odd product or two.

Missed the start but here is a shot showing them given a nasty flesh tone,

Primer grey
Brick red wash
Elf flesh
Yellow spots
Reikland fleshshade
Flesh drybrush

And then current stage adding purple wash...

Back soon.

What do you actually need to play a game of 8th? I mean do you need data sheets, indexes, codex!

Kids fancy trying it out, got the DM boxed set, not built up any of it yet.

Would love to hear from you all.

Neat!

Plague Bearers are looking great Cam. I am not sure but I think if you have the DM box all the rules you need to play are in the box along with the models. If you want to use Not Mortarion and the plague bearers you may need the Death Guard codex.

Hope you get a chance to play, let us know how it turns out!

Old and new school nurgle play great together - somehow, unlike alot of ranges. IMO, anyway.

Thank you,

Update: Think they are finished.





Thanks for looking, thoughts appreciated.

Despite these not being Mortarian, they are very related to him. In all seriousness, though, they look quite good. They make me feel queasy just looking at them.

Fleshy. I like that take on plague bearerers very much.

I like the wet and slimy feel on them. For me, that's always been the main differentiating factor between nurgle and undead.

Good work, Cam'. Nice shade of rotten flesh you have there.

Oozing and falling apart, perfection! Great take on the plague bearers Cam, are you still thinking of playing 40K?

Thank you all.

Todays work....





Thank you all for bearing with me, still in internet hell, thus short replies.

Thoughts appreciated, thanks for looking.

Nice!
I think you should dial back the edge highlighting on the hood - it jumps out too much to my eye; and i think the cloth is a bit too clean for papa nurgle, get some brown stains on that clothing!

Keep at it Cam'!

Soon to be embarking on my own Deathguard experience (for a friend) I am keenly watching how you get your suitably nasty effects. Looking forward to seeing some more.

Thanks peeps.

Have done a tone down and a mucky session on the cloak. Pics later. Here is a WIP of the next in line, conversion work here coming up and tut on how I make a mess.



Thanks for looking

So, one good thing about the internet off line is the kids starting to look at dad's stuff.

That is one zany ork.

oh....finally something i can comment on....all that bile and gore and intestines...i am no use to comment about nurgle stuff...:(

that ork is quite close to the orky fluff of being fungus^^

and that assassin looks promising as well...specially the marble!

Hurrah! Corrupt the younglings!

I've seen this problem before!

That ork merely touched a 'naughty' (hence the spots) and caught 'naughtypox'!
Rather than wait for the effects to get worse, he's gone off to "the valley of the 'sit-downs'" to get himself cured!!
Cause everybody knows the only cure for naughtypox is a sitdown.
Shame that the first mushroom he came to was uninhabited..

Man I'm so jealous... everyone is getting to paint these awesome nurgle models... they look fantastic Cam. Have the perfect feel to them.

Thanks folks, lol,

This one is close...





Few small conversion bits on him. Started life as a herald, not sure what he is now.

Nice free-hand on the banner Cam.

I'm digging the scheme on the assassin. Only part that gets me is his bright red "HEY LOOK OVER HERE!" holster.

Nice bits of work so far!

Loving that banner

Oozingly delightful, that banner is top notch Cam!

Remember,kids! Papa Nurgle loves you!



Nice work, Cam.

Good showing by the Cam and Kie parts of your name (Rhi's been quiet). The artistic streak runs deep in your family.

Good job on the filthy bugger. Would do Papa proud.

merry Christmas, old mate! to you and your loved ones! and to all other fellow dakkaknights

Merry Christmas Cam, I hope your new year is a good one!

Merry Christmas to you and your house sir!

Nice work on the eyes of the banner creature, really characterful - looking forward to your next update!

(don't rush yourself though, even god takes a breather occasionally apparently)

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

First internet access in days!!!

Hope you all had a great Christmas and Santa was good to you.

Best wishes to you all for the New Year, hope 2018 is a great one for you all.

Well I did really great for Christmas, got me Necromunda from my much better half, and the kids did me proud with a Start collecting Flesh Eater Court, ripe for conversion, and pack of the Nurgle guys, going to have quite a Nurgle army.

Could not resist starting on this fella....





Thank you all for the fantastic support you have all given me this last year, I am missing you all badly at the moment, I will try and get a few review posts up, hopefully get things sorted soon.

In the mean time, off to Necromunda, at last.

all your spiffy works with nurgle aside...i am eager to see your take on anything even remotely connected to ´munda....because, believe me, i am sitting here and taking notes...!


so...here is hoping for a better year in 2018...and a really more often updating master Cam!!!

best wishes for you and your loved ones!

Good to have you back in all your hispeed pustuley goodness!

First Nurgle, now a zombie dragon. You are heading down a decidedly icky path. I look forward to seeing where it leads.

Love the dragon Cam!

Yay for slimy dragons!

Welcome back Cam, glad things on the internet side are better! Great way to start posting again with that rotting dragon and spiffy base to go with it.

That dragon looks excellent.

Nice work on El Drago there.

Careful surfing this new internet thing you've got. I hear all sorts of weirdos are out there on it.

Hope you have all sorts of goodness lined up for us this new year.

Thanks all.
RL


Really hope to get some pics to you soon.

In the meantime, well ok lets take the plunge, hopefully lined up for this year.

Finish an actual army...Death Guard probably.
Do at least another tables worth of terrain.
Start a new blog, pulling everything together.
Do some articles for Dakka, probably tutorial based.
Build an underhive refinery.
Compete in every LoER comp.
Build a Ork Gargant, ( probably donate it to anyone who wants it.)
Move and review studio area.
Sculpt a 40k Tyranid titan.
Build at least 3 superheavy tanks for guard army.

Hope that wets your appetite. Pics soon promise.

Well, building an underhive table is one of my goals too. Shall we start a friendly competition?

By all means, but I need to warn you I have a bit of a cheat on my side.

What... kind of cheat? I have a box of sector mechanicus stuff

I have a box that was once a model of an oil rig!

Ah. That may be a massive bonus. But still, shall we set a deadline?

Go for it, need something to aim for.

Some proof of life....
All WIP.......



Basic just to get them playable, need to do a lot of painting yet on these girls.


And the lads....




And this..


With all of them, the basic colour scheme is laid down, need to clean up and do details. Just want to get a game in.

Thoughts welcome.

Love the Raging Heroes (Toughest Girls in the Galaxy) figure as a ganger boss- well played!

Looks like you're off to a nice start in 2018!

yes! necromunda!!!
i like your additions for the straight out of the box gangs! using ogryns for the goliaths is a good choice...they like beefy and you cant get much more beefy than an ogryn^^...the scout sniper is also a good idea!
the escher additions are from vinnie too? one thing...the escher background "singers" could do with some love for their hairdo´s...but i guess you´re working on that already!

cool progress already!

The old citadel journal had additional rules where you could add extra mercs to gangs. Goliaths could hire ogryns, since that's everything they aspire to be, and Escher could hire ratlings, since that's how they like their men

Really nice work on the cape: looks good at full zoom also! (screen timeout while staring at the finish)

Very pleased to see some underhive dwellers who actually look like they live in the underhive - top job!
Makes the GW examples look cartooney; way too clean-looking for gangs that scratch out an existence in the corroding lower levels of a hive city.

Looking forward to this upcoming informal gameboard challenge! I will be backing Forgeworld Camkeirhi needless to say..

Thanks everyone, much appreciated.

Sorry not saying much at mo, just a couple pics...





And a squiggle of terrain....


Thank you for looking, c&c welcome.

Looks great but I think a black lip on the bases is needed to balance the contrast. Whilst there's a certain appeal in them dissolving into their bases, I think they need to stand out a bit more to show off how good 'n' crusty they are.

I agree the lips of the base could use some colour - though I'd consider a brown (mainly because that's what I use I suppose). Lovely, disgusting work on those Nurgle models

Agreed. The top of the base can be a part of the scenery in which the mini is placed, the whole mise en scène thing, pardon my French, but the sides... Not really. But then I have unorthodox ideas ,' bout bases and basing. Mainly because I hate doing the extra work.

I look forward to your first Necromunda batrep, replete with pictures, of course. The gangs look stylin'.

Looking forward to a Necromunda bat rep, especially if it is on your custom terrain. Deathguard are looking good and crusty, but I have to throw my vote towards having the lips of the bases changed to either black or brown.

Soon I hope.

Thanks guys and dolls.

Ok Cam style speed painting....

Wow, I've never tried painting things while they're still on the sprue before. I like Not-Morty's force that he's leading.

Great looking stuff Cam! Looking forward to the superheavies and the Gargantuan.

Hi guys this is camkierhi's son letting you guys know that my dad is stuck in hospital for a bit and so he won't be able to do stuff sorry your got awsome stuff and he got stuff to show but he's stuck so yeah have a awesome new year

Hello young man. Please give your father our best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery. I do hope that all will be well.

He's important to us here in the P&M forums.

Hoping for a speedy recovery. Thoughts with you all.

Oh...bummer...stress? I hope he is getting better really quick...what a mean cold shower to the beginning of the new year...

Thank you all.

Fell on ice, landed heavy on my right hip, getting op tomorrow to put a plate and bolts in. Apparently I managed to fracture my hip, all the way through.

Thanks for everything gang.

Oh dear. Lad, You're too young to fall and break your hip.

I'll be serious now. Please listen carefully Cam: Do NOT neglect the physical therapy. Not one bit. This is incredibly important, especially with any sort of hip injury. I ripped up some muscles in my hip and backside this summer and the physical therapy, although arduous, made a huge, huge difference.

Also, please be careful with the pain meds. Sometimes anti-inflammatories are all you need. There is something called a TENS-EMT for pain management too. Ask your Dr. and physical therapist about them. I've found mine incredibly useful.

*points with glowing finger* Oooowch!

All the best. Heal well.

Sucks! Get well soon and make Super Heavy Nurgle Stuff. They are getting pretty good at hips though, from all I hear. : )


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Could be the pics, but I think you need a little dullcoat on some of those Nurgle. Kind of glossy to my taste, though some people like that for plague stuff.

Ouch.... Good luck on the surgery, and get wel soon!

We'll be waiting for good news of after surgery times! Well, at least it wasn't anything heart related...that was what I've feared...tho a broken hip is probably as nasty as it gets when it comes to any broken bones...darn...
Best wishes!!!

Good grief mate you're having some time of it all the best, at least up here the NHS is slightly less gubbed than down south.

Ouch, that is a major bummer. Take care of yourself, we will be around once you are back at it.

Sorry to hear that Cam's son, but thanks for letting us know. Hope the best for your dad!

Omfg dude, that's a really gakky roll of the dice.

You failed your difficult terrain check, your armour save and your FnP check.
I suppose that as a Squad leader parent you're glad you cant take 'look out sir!' tests against wounds suffered from difficult terrain tests huh?
Lucky, as an Archmagos you have a whole bunch of wounds in your statline, but i still think it's a rough deal you having to go to a medical facility to make use of the 'IWND' usr
I'll be glad to hear when you're back at maximum wounds again dude!

A quick recovery to you, Cam, and I strongly second what Red Harvest advised regarding physical therapy, pain meds versus anti-inflamatories. I got busted up parachuting and attribute being able to complete 15 more years in the Service to an extremely stubborn and forceful Physical Therapist- she was not impressed by anything I had to say on the subject.

Get fixed immediately, get recovered quickly and get painting again soon!

Dang, what a way to start the new year. I couldn't agree more with the thoughts on PT. I used to work in a post-op PT setting, and early mobility made a huge difference in our patients' outcomes.

Get well and come back soon.

The thread was already at the bottom of the page.

This post ought to bump it up to the top. Makes it easier for Cam to find.

Let's keep this one up, it's a nice way to show some support!

Feel better soon!

Sorry to hear Cam, I hope you're not in too much pain(i.e. the hospital has you jacked on that good stuff!).

Sorry to hear about the fall Cam, hope you are up and about soon.

Thanks all. Really appreciate your support.

Quick diagram on how to pin a joint...



Classic but good to know.

Looks like th dok's gonna spend some quality time with you... get well soon, I hope everything goes according to plan!

Get better soon CAM!!

I think you should consider putting some green stuff about that weak point. It'll also make it easier to re-glue it if it falls off again.

Urgh....that will not be a picnic...

And when I read pinning I instantly had a mental image of a paperclip...

I hope that soon you can go back home...what face do they make at work? Well, once the op is done and the healing is on its way...maybe you get some time to chill and have some quite time for yourself...here is hoping you will be able to sit at least...

Green stuff? Really they should go with some proper size magnets, every gamer knows magnetizing is the way to go now a days. ;-P

Did you look into getting a proper power klaw installed?

From the looks of the diagram, that's the femur you fractured, not the pelvis. So, you broke your leg, not your hip?

Surgery should be fairly soon. I expect it to be a complete success.

Ah, we're joking. Okay. Cam is well on his way to becoming the Mek-boy he always dreamed of being.

So are you planning to have a gyro-stabilised mono wheel installed?

Seriously good luck with the surjury and all.

I'm willing to bet Cam' could do a better pinning job than a 'surgeon' could

edit: Cam' is .40% titanium!!

I find that diagram disturbing... yet fascinating!

I think you can combine several of the ideas of read here- remember: Cam's the guy that invented mixing iron powder into his resin casting so that the cast item is automatically magnet-able. Remember his Warhound? Same principle.

Get well soon Cam!

Sorry to hear you're down for a while Cam. Hopefully the Painboy gives you some special squigs to chew on that make everything feel fun and happy while you're on the mend. In the US they only give us spent lasgun batteries, and that's only after an interrogation from a couple Inquisitors that hate you simply because you exist.

That's really terrible, I'm sorry you're going through this Cam. And thanks for the diagram, it looks like it's the ball end of the femur that fits into the hip that fractured?

Thank you all for your thoughts.

but anyway... this is now a terrain set that gets the honour to be played with...which is the only natural way of living for such artful stuff...which in the end makes everything worth it...! saying well done...just doesn´t cut the mustard...finally some well deserved fame mister!

congratz also to your packaging skills^^...the guy surly broke some sweat

on a side not... seeing you here... did the docs already carve you up...? best wishes mate!

Hey guys here is a direct link to the unboxing I filmed with the set Cam did for us. It completely blew us away. We cannot wait to use it for a battle report. We have 12 other full tables of terrain, ranging from professionally made to store bought kits to stuff we put a lot of time and effort into and this blows them all out of the water. Thank you so much once again Cam.

Yeah as you can clearly see it wouldn't take much to make me sweat haha, working on that. But yeah as mentioned it was extremely well packed, even after FedEx beat up the poor thing, only two bits let go in the whole set, which were easily fixable. As for my handling, I was excited and didn't want the video to take too long, wanted to make sure I could get all the awesome terrain in, but nothing broke in my hands so we can call it a win .

i hope i didn´t offend you...sorry if i did...

 Viktor von Domm wrote:

You didn't mate, no worries.

Personal note:
I fractured my femur as shown in previous, op was same day/ night, next couple days were getting pain meds right. And starting PT. Wednesday weight bearing Thursday Zimmer frame walk, Friday toiletry independence. I am still on morphine tablets at mo so going home soon I hope. It is very very painful . Very very difficult to do anything, but if I don,t have some styrene riveted by the end of the week you can drag me out and bury me.

Thanks to twinner for wonderful comments, and we know your nuts Vik.

Thank you all for the wonderful support.

phhhewww! getting on any table that doesn't involve riveting is always a big hustle...so good to hear you´re through the mean part... now the healing can progress...and yep...mad, nuts...call it whatever you like

Now Vik, no worries. Twinner, he's Canadian. Those folks have a pretty wicked sense of humor. Proof? They sent Jim Carrey to the USA. And Michael J Fox. And Lorne Michaels. And Neil Young and ... Haha. Jokes on US. Grrr. it would be nice if they actually sent us some people with, oh, what is it called, ah yes, talent.

Cam: do ask about anti-inflammatories. They will help with that pain, since some of it is bound to be from swelling. We've already lectured you about the PT. I know that things seem dark now, but there will be a happy ending to all of this. Really, there will be.

Time guide for the video:

So at 3:30 I'm shouting at the monitor, "Open the fethin' box already!"

At 4:30 I'm thinking that Cam has an interesting sense of humor too. Soooo much tape. And Newspapers. Too bad Twinner can't read them, since they are written in Scottish and not in Canadian, eh.
(It's funny, if you know how some of the Canadian accents came "aboot.")

At 5:00 we get the first look. Nice. And just gets nicer.

The rest is more excellent terrain. I must say that the game mat goes well with the terrain too. The windmill, so cool to see again.

The set will provide years of enjoyment.

Very nice Cam. Well done. These guys remind me of a couple of kids filming in their mom's basement. Just the type to really appreciate your generosity and skill.

Not sure if this is a compliment or not haha. You are correct we do live in a Basement but we have to pay for that privilege. But we definitely did appreciate Cam and his generosity.

It wasn't meant as an insult at all. There's a charm to it which I really enjoy. Keep up the great work!

Ouch I'm sorry to hear about your accident Cam. Pinning the joint like that seems so crude. Everyone knows magnets are the answer.

Watching the video made me think of a magician pulling things that shouldn't fit out of a hat; about half way though I thought there couldn't be more, but there was.

Also nice name on the windmill made me laugh, trumpton, I'd somehow missed that reading through your posts as you made it.

Get well soon.

The terrain looks fabulous!
Lucky Twinner!!


Get well soon Cam'!

They are the Basement Collective...
My hobby space is in the basement too. I don't pay for it since I already own it. Well, I pay property taxes, so yeah, I guess I pay for the privilege too... Their basement is nicer than mine. That's okay. Mine is quite peaceful, until the furnace kicks on. Then it's a bit noisy. It's been on very often recently. This darned polar weather... coming from, of all places...

Do enjoy the terrain, Twinner.

Ouch, man. At least you are getting some good stuff, and the OT/PT staff seem to have good goals for you.

On the plus side, it will keep you from going out and getting into trouble and tucked safely at home making gorgeous things for all of us to be jealous about. :-D

Rest up, heal up, and listen to those DOCS! Don't fall again just because you are being stubborn!

Oh Cam! So sorry bud!- and so sorry about all the pain you're having. Rest up, you'll be ready for riveting duty when your body says you can.

That's some amazing terrain... But yoyu already knew that Hope the therapy kicks in and speeds up the recovery nicely!

You are a legend sir. Also a leg end at this point.

Better a leg end than a bell end.

You British persons have very much strange slang.

Cam, you made a mill with a water wheel at some point, no?

*de-cloak* Get well, heal up Cam. You're going to be a cybork!

Let this be a lesson to you kids!....Proper pinning of a model joint is essential if you want it to survive the rigors of a fall from the table.

Of course, he's more machine now than man....

We will rebuild him. Faster. Stronger, We have the technology.....

Leave it to the doks, I'm sure he'll come out improved. Just try to convince them to not burn their initials in there somewhere and you'll be golden

Sincerely thanks everyone, you are wonderful.

Well took me couple days but back on the brush.......


Still very WIP. Lots to do.



Thank you all so much for your amazing support.

On pain meds, broken bones and you can still get some painting and basing in. I bow down before you sir, the drone and base look gross in a very good way.
On another note it is good to hear your better half got the internet up and running!

Man, enjoy plenty of downtime too. Don't work too hard. Eat some yogurt if you like it. I like peach. It also has probiotics.

Hope you get better soon Cam. I had something similar when I broke my hand, intern doctor that was working prescribed me waaayyyy too much painkillers. It was probably more painful that the actual break!

Good to hear you are back on the net, and see you get back into your groove. Stay strong brother.

Nice work on the drone Cam. Best of luck with the doctors.

Stupid gravity.

Good to see you back to hobbying. Really, it is.

Predicting the rate of healing for bones is iffy at best.

This is going to be a marathon Cam, not a sprint. I hope that the doctors warned you of that, at least.

The sooner you can move away from the opioids the better.

gratz to your beloved, hope your recovery is steady! And cool model, of course

Nice, That drone looks sickly!

Sheesh, I've missed a bit in the New Year in here.

Firstly, I'm really sorry to hear of you incident and hope the recovery from surgery etc goes well.

Secondly, Love your deathguard style, dissolving into their bases is great and the drone looks really good and I like the dynamic pose.

Great work as usual

I always hated how the opioid made my head foggy, impaired my actual thinking after my gall bladder surgery. I went back to work as soon as I could get off of it. The addiction is real, and it can ruin entire families. Its good to be afraid of all that methinks.

I'm glad I'm s old as I am- you guys are throwing our references that go back fifty years! The 'legend- leg end'- priceless. Keep on keepin' on Cam!

Spoiler:

Bit upset, not getting a lot of feedback from Docs about timescales and outcome of this, to top it off have had some tummy issues, mostly connected with the pain meds. End result is I have an appointment to go back in to hospital tomorrow to investigate why things are not going well. Possible op, possibility might get readmitted for awhile. So might be of grid again for a few days.

On a positive note, my beloved has sorted our home internet issues and once I am back I will be fully up and running, just this last hurdle.

Thank you all so much for your amazing support.

Glad to see you bounce back quick. You are as tough as an Ork.



That Blight Drone looks sweet. And properly diseased.

Good work to the Mrs.
Healing thoughts your way.

We award you the -=]_,=- Purple Heart

Truly honoured. Thanks everyone.

Well 36hrs back in hospital to sort my guts, and I am home again. Hopefully for good this time.

Can't sleep thanks to the massive amounts of laxative now now torrentially pouring through my system and the pain. So a bit more paint here...






Been working on this guy off and on.

Thank you all for your amazing support. All your thoughts are welcome here.

So....you're telling us the nurgle drone is literally a potty job? Papa nurgle would be proud...sort of...

Hope they fixed your guts for good...I am still not able to do a thing from still having my fingers crossed for you...!

This is what happens when you dedicate yourself to in seriousness, great job, and great to see you're back home and back at the paint altar.

I was going to make a nurgle joke, but got beat to it twice. Hopefully you will be on a upward looking path from this point.

Love the way the body of the drone contrasts with the more mechanical parts. Excellent job Cam.

Thanks folks.

Teaser.......

Scale shot...

Looks like some killer necromunda terrain in the making.

That looks amazing! Can't wait!

Yup, it'll be Necromunda terrain. Can't wait to see more.

Good to hear the internals are sorted.

nah...that´d be too easy.... it is probably some leftover bones...surgery giveaways...you see the bone colour...er....too soon?

LOL Vik... you're SHAMELESS man!

Naw, the Scottish don't collect bones. They collect organs. Especially sheep's stomachs. They stuff the stomachs with oats and herbs and spices and other organ meats, including sheep's lungs. Naturally, they cook it and eat it.

It is illegal to import anything containing sheep's lungs into the USA, BTW.

At least the Scottish have better sense than to eat snails and other things normally found under rocks.

Don't act surprised. You all knew that this would end up with a Haggis joke.

Do my eyes lie to me, or do I see the words, 'lube oil cooler' on one of the columns. Sounds like the future Necromunda terrain is going to need some serious scrubbing before it is safe for working with. There are many useful bits in that box. Very nice acquisition, Cam. You will, of course, impress the Dickens out of us with what you do with it.

To those not in the knowing...our wee scunner Cam is in fact no Scott...he's a stranger in a strange land...but in the end...who isn't...

Cam, sorry this is proving a long and difficult recovering. I hope you keep improving. It's amazing you're still making great stuff through all of this.

Determined to have a good day today.

Lets start...


Also separated some of the smaller pieces, going to have a go at some today.


Would like your thoughts on something. In my head (scary place) Necromunda is based in the basement of a huge city spire, well surely you will have the "feet" and "legs" of the city . So I will have a go at at least one of those. What you think?

Thanks for all your wonderful support, you have no idea what it means to me.

It begins..

Indeed, make one of these feet of a megapolis! I recently(read some five years ago) found a cable drum, which I am currently working on to built a hive tower ... I planned to show pics of the setup tonight...

So by all means make one of your own too, yours will look way more detailed anyway...and we can compare ideas n stuff^^

Be fantastic to see you working again. Thanks Vik.

Going to pull out the Foam core while I wait for the 1st coat to dry.

Cam, ya lazy git, get to work...

Oh. Nevermind All those little tubes make perfect pipe work, eh? Very cool. Some scaffolding is coming? IIRC, Necromunda play requires that sort of thing. Of course I haven't played in over 20 years, so take my comments not seriously.

What do you mean by feet?

@Red, you know....feet.....

Ah, pilotis (maybe). I think of concrete feet -- footers-- for building foundations.

That's an excellent start, BTW.

And I see some scaffolding in the illo. Excellent.

Carry On

Gosh, quite a quick job..and a good looking one too ...
That feet/ pipe/tunnel thing look amazing and reminds me of old school sci fi movies ...

Looking good Cam! Check out dsteingass's thread for huge Necromunda structural thingamajigs, he did some amazing work in there!

Thanks folks...

Well 2 ion the morning here, can't sleep but got to try..so here where I got to...



Also glued up the large bit, not really anything new to see there today, so back laters, thoughts as always appreciated.

Mate, that terrain is looking great!

Would to play on a board with terrain like that hehe

Great find in all that pipe-y stuff.

Good work turning it into terrain too.

Not much done today.



Thanks guys

Still, looking good.

Looks amazing, Cam.

'Not much done' usually still beats mine 'Wow, got a lot done today' . Models is really coming to life too, loving it

That looks like crap... In a very good way

Thank you all,

getting there on this piece...








Not sure whether to bother with hand rails?

Thanks for looking.

That's a nifty looking terrain piece. I'm curious, though, about your method for painting the base. In earlier photos, you had a thin, streaky layer of what looks like rust-colored paint. In these photos, it's been covered with blue-green. However, your finished work is never that messy. What, exactly, is your process?

Impressive and quite befitting a hive city underworld.

I gotta see how that 'foot' turns out. So much potential in the basic idea. Mega space station structure for starters...

That's a new blanket? (You have cats, and it is not covered in cat hair yet. )

That is soo cool man! Inspired! Perfection!

Great rust, great tags.

"keep calm & burn the heretic" lol...

amazing piece, from rust to verdigris...graffiti is super as usual...you must´ve had an adventurous youth...
my favourite part is whenever you add such real life fixing things to pipe works like the bandage...!!!

Looking swish Cam, and you put that together in no time! The graffiti really pops, amazingly painted

Oh yeah I'd definitely say so...

Handrails...hmmm...fiddly to do they take up room, but in the end they add to that realistic look that convinces to no end...after all, "just" hazard stripes is something no one would do inn the construction and maintenance business...

The Death Star didnt have any safety railings, and look what happened to it! TWICE

Thank you all.

Ok handrails...



@ Josh, thanks and no worries here we go I think...

This is the state of it as was, the previous colours are just the results of washes applied above and spread out to dry, for this piece I am also aiming for the "basement's basement" feel i.e. all the debris of a billion soils finds its way down here, don't quite want to be hip deep in it, but clean floor it ain't.


I don't mind the various stains, I wash over them with a deep grey...


Whilst it is still very wet I sprinkle bi-carbonate of soda into the wet paint, and add a few drops of very watered down PVA over that....


You can see this is very wet, the trick is let it dry naturally. But whilst it is still wet I add some spots of superglue.....
Look like fungus or chemical stains to me....


Here are a few other shots...




Hope that helps Josh, this set is a bit more specifically dirty floor, will have final shots up later once it is all dry.

Thank you all so much for your comments.

Excellent tutorial... and I like the hand rails.

Thanks Gits, much appreciated.

Repost for page turn...
Thank you all.

Here are a couple quick pics of it after a bit of drying time, I really like the crusty feel myself.




Thanks for looking.

Thanks for the tutorial. I don't build a lot of urban terrain, and I pretty much never base what I build. I'll have to give the baking soda/PVA thing a try.

Looking great as always Cam! I'm loving the rust effects on it especially.

Handrails are going to finish the piece off nicely I reckon.

I like your tutorial as well, I've recently been using the PVA/Superglue trick to make zerg creep bases... never thought of using baking soda as well... will have to do some experimentation.

I like that it looks like as if someone or something was dragged over the ground there...the fungus pva/superglue looks frighteningly convincing...love all these details...
Will there be hazard stripes on the handrails or would that be too much then...? Can't really find an answer for that myself...

Thank you all.

Just a quick drop in to talk paint.
Was a little discussion on CommissarKhaine's excellent plog (https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/1470/266318.page#9802210) about GW changing the paint on him.One of things I do is make batches, large batches. Now as I have said before I am not a good painter, and even worse when it comes to technical stuff. I do most of my mixing by eye, and have never writen down a paint recipe in my life, however from my early days I knew that if you are going to be painting up any quantity of something make enough paint to cover all, here are examples of my current batches...


Working from top left, that's a large jar of my homebrew Ryza Rust, made using Daler Rowney Acrylic, it is a lot of initial investment (£15 / 400ml) but it lasts and lasts and the quality is just brilliant. Then a jar of homebrew Angrax Earthshade, made with brown, black , and a hint of purple, and made mostly with Pledge Polish. Then Large Jar of Verdigris blue green.
I am going to be using a lot of these over the coming couple months, got another board worth of scenery for twinner to do and want to do the necromunda stuff.

The smaller jars are the washes I generally use a lot. It just makes sense to me to make batches rather than trying to mix it each time. Of course you could just buy the paints, properly, but the way I use washes quite often it would cost me a fortune. This way I am pennies compared to pounds.

Next is a little find...found this in the nail art section of the local pound land....


You apply it with the thin nozzle on the bottle, It is a really thick paint that does not shrink as it dries. Here is an example of how I am using it.....

Brilliant for applying weld lines and at a pinch rivets, though I am not to happy with the rivets. Also great for the lead work on stain glass windows, and I have used it several times now as "liquid GS" always promised to be, a nice gap filler for smaller cracks etc. Seriously folks get a pot and try it out.

Lastly spoilered for the squeemish, a reference pic of scare tissue for you....


Back later with modelling update, thanks for now, hope this is of some help to someone.

Oi...my sister has scars like this on both hips...dislocated hips and bone as a wee baby...so the docs had break and reset every thing...she was also in plaster... why aren't you then?

Making your own paints/washes is a very good thing, very economic!
In the spirit of the great shasolenzabi I also worked with puffy paint and lately with pva to make rivets...with great success. Tho I don't use the muzzle that comes with the bottle but now a syringe instead...steady hand and lots of rivetzen and you get quite some decent and quick results...

The plate and pins, I suspect, obviate the need for a cast. There are things you can do to reduce the scarring, Cam. You could look into that, if you want.

Daler Rowney makes quality stuff. I have a set of the inks(?) but I never remember to use them.

Intriguing find for the nail art. I'll have to look out for that.

The floor does have that old warehouse look, which is the perfect fit.

Scenery looks great Cam, rust effects and graffiti really caught my eye . Scar looks like it is healing up quite well, to my unprofessional eye, looking forward to updates on scenery and hurty bitz.

I really appreciate your detail bitz like posters, scattered debris, etc. It forces the scale perfectly and tells a story as it creates the atmosphere of your table. The weathering is well done and you've maintained a healthy balance between "too much" and "way too much"

OSH (Work place saftey in NZ) would be proud of your efforts to keep work place accidents down.

Now.. about those open sewer lines....

Thanks all. wonderful to hear from all of you.

Spent a little time today on plating up the next project...



That's 3 sides done, might do something different with the "front".

Carved this for the back, going to mold and cast it I think...

It's about 9cm across.

Thank you all so much for looking in and commenting, means a lot.

Purple in the brown wash? That never would have occurred to me. I'll have to give it a try and see what it looks like.

.....oh and by the way, I just carved this perfect aquilla in like 19 seconds....

Damn Cam, You are amazing, and I am ashamed of myself. That platform is soo amazeballs! The Mildew Concrete grunge effect is the very best Ive ever seen, and i WILL be stealing it!

What did you carve that imperial eagle from, foam? That's definitely work casting!

That "foot" piece is on project I really crave to see more work done on...i think it is a great project, no pun intended...it is such a big canvas for all your graffiti ambitions...and I am eager to see what other details you come up with...sleeping bags in the tunnels? Rope ladders?...

Man...you always have the best ideas that makes oneself instantly want to copy your stuff...and feel bad about as then we are just mere copycats and feel as if we 're empty...:(

As for the aquilla...*drools*

Very nice terrain, that's the kind I like! And the new construction is impressive, keep it up!

That' s a serious amount of paint you got going there Cam, so gonna loot that idea... Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice... Gonna try that nail art thingy as well, nice finds!

I can't wait to see all the great stuff you're gonna cook up for that piece of hive, I always love how you manage to capture the feel of 40K in your pieces. I love pouring over them and admire all the littler details, whether it's mould or posters

You're a proppa skarboy now, hope it heals up nicely!

Thank you all. Most gratefully received. Makes a big deal for me.

A little progress.....

And started on a little interior design.




Thank you all for looking.

Cam, it's okay to drink decaffeinated coffee.

I'm guessing there will be much rust? Or verdigris? Either will look crackin' (That's the British term, no?)

Now, C&C time. Yes. It's the exposed foamcore edges. A peeve of mine. You need to cover them.
Here is quick how-to I did on a different and soon to disappear forum. It is really simple. And well worth the effort.

Hammocks? Very clever. I cannot wait to see more. So maybe one more cup of regular coffee

lovely !

That's very nice looking. Love the giant girder look.

Yessss sirrr! hammocks! that´s a spiffy idea! the tubes probably collect a bit of damp water every now and then, thus sleeping a bit more levelled is making it very convincing!

verdigris looks very nice too!

Very impressive Cam.

Thanks yet again.

@Red, will do sir, thanks for c&c.
@Syro, it's e-pvc, I will pull up a link. Brilliant stuff.

Guess I better drop a pic of the cast piece....


Thanks for looking.

Nice work, Cam'.

Good scar. One to be proud of.

Wow, that Necromunda skull cast is amazing! How much you selling them for? The interior of that leg/strut is brilliant. I just know by the time this is done everyone will be blown away with the detail and extra effects that you always put in to everything, I literally don't know what to expect next with it!

If anyone wants some, just PM me. Might take a week to get them to you though.

Thank you for the comments guys, much appreciated.

Thanks Cam, I'll have to look into trying out expanded-pvc. That cast looks great!

Thanks Syro.

Little bit more done...


Oh yeah ok that is led lighting...

More soon.

Working leds... Lovely . Is it me, or are they a tad bright though? Might be the pic, always hard to tell.

Lighting is very exciting... really makes the piece stand out!

Lights alive!

The LED has pushed your project into the OTT category. You know, the category where the rest of your projects wind up.

Lights. Well, of course.

Actually, they are going to be quite useful. It looks like it might be a pain to see in there when playing.

What are the fixtures from?

They are stolen from you Red, they are pill case cut up. Paracetamol in this case. I have to clean up a bit and I think I might paint the interiors yet, maybe black is a bit harsh.

@ CK, pic is in a dark room with no flash, so they are not really that bright, and the pill case defused the light.

Thanks for all the comments, really appreciate your support.

Good one. They make nice sinks too Although I don't think there is a whole lot of washing up going on in the under-hive.

Paracetamol (or acetominophen around here) plus ibuprofen is a nice 1-2 combo against pain.

Careful on the ibuprofen, my broth- in- law had a very close shave due to an overdose of if Ibuprofen...kidney failure on both sides...led to coma even...i used this stuff without thinking before too...now I think twice...

Love your work on those tubes!

@ CK, pic is in a dark room with no flash, so they are not really that bright, and the pill case defused the light.

Looks like you got it covered. Carry on then!

Thats a really cool concept, I love it!

Thanks again all.

Little detail started on front...


Thoughts welcome.

Wow Cam! I could tell it was lighting in the top of the "pipe" but I didn't expect it to actually light up. You're always putting in that extra little improvement, like your motorized windmill
I like the greenstuff tarps you made. Any tips on how you did it?

Stunning.......just stunning. The Eagle Gargoyle platform will go down in history.

People living in the pipes, led lighting, carved eagles heads and insignia's... this project is awesome, like a lot of your others hehe.

Looking awesome.

If you're not doing a tut on that bird head, I'll never speak a word with you sir! Damn that's cool...but one question tho, it looks more blackbirds than eagle?

Sorry Vik. Will get tut done for you, personally I think it is okay but not great. Here's a better shot...

I think it looks amazing, and this shot now clarifies the eagle heritage! It looks even lifelike...

Is it "just" carved from your foam again?

Epic stuff. You don't do anything by halves, do you?!

And he does it again. Becasue just working ligths wasn't enough .. Amazing stuff Cam

Taking copious notes, me.

Eagle!

Interiors....

Ok where I am at....





Thank you all so much for the feedback. Will get some tuts done tomorrow.Vik on the eagle and Syro on the tarps. I promise you will both be disappointed in me.


Thanks for looking and all c&c welcome.

Really digging all the little additions, graffiti in the tunnel, misaligned boxes its just so characterful

How on earth do you paint that graffiti in the tunnels? I have trouble doing this when I can reach the area properly...

the graffiti might be painted on paper and then glued on? looks like that because of the surrounding green background? or he had the tubes cut and taken out?...maybe he is a wizard after all....i guess the last is the best option here... considering the person we talk about...

Thank you all.

@Knightly thanks bud, I agree, a little character goes along way.
@CK, thanks, Vik has it. Painted on paper and pasted in.
@Vik, thanks, I ain't no wizard.

Ok big pic dump, no it os not finished, not by a long way.

With interiors in...


Before I stuck them in, did this little tutorial for you Syro...
Start

Add some watered down PVA..note it is only on the top surface.

Then apply a piece of tissue

Then soak the tissue with watered-down PVA. And using a cocktail stick press it down, check your folds.

Tuck it about and fold it until happy.


Then while it is still wet I paint it.


Hope that helps, once it is dry, you can paint it again. It sets quite hard and durable.

Next ..processing off cuts. These are various thickness and cut completely random to rough box shape.

Some superglue and random pile

Scale shot.

Also threw a few other bits together.



Started some of the scaffolding.



Well that's it for today.

Thanks for looking and all the amazing feedback.

That's awesome. Great tutorial and great results. Your work is inspiring. I will give that a shot and post my results!

I really like the graffiti.

Also thank you for the tutorial on how to make tarps. You'll be seeing my rendition of that idea at some point.

Holy Bat$&8!, Cam you are tearing it up. LEDs, handcrafted icon, eagles head, totally enjoying all this creativity looking forward to more eye candy.

(1) Cam, stop dying.

(2) Good to see you recovering. I'll think happy, gritty, Necro-y thoughts for you.

--B.

@CK, thanks, Vik has it. Painted on paper and pasted in.

Lol, here I was imagining you with brushes which had their handle turned 90° ... You idea is definitely more feasible. Thanks for the tip, and excellent work as always! Love the little gothic arch on the top platform

Smashing work, Cam'. Looks great.

Yep, that's how I do tarps and similar things too.

Amazing! Although, how do you get paint to stick and not peel off of the granny grating when flexed?

Curiously I own some brushes that are meant to work exactly in such confined spaces...and indeed they are bent on purpose...

What's so cool with cam's way tho is that I am not even able to apply real wallpaper...so now imagine wriggling something so small in a mere small tube... and we are not allowed to call him a wizard...


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also...the ring on the tubes ends are currently my favorite details...with these you literally framed your canvas!

I keep reading Necromunda Scenery as Necromundery. it should probably be necromundancy.

I had some brushes like that once, Vik. Didn't like them.

Yeah, the ring frames are just the thing.

Very modern stairs. Maybe not quite the right look? That granny grating make for perfect scaffold material, eh?

Everything looks so good. And so quickly. Too quickly. I'm growing suspicious. You've been cloned, haven't you? That hospital stay wasn't about any broken bones at all...

Hi all, thank you for the wonderful comments and feedback.

@ Dave, I use an automotive acrylic plastic primer rattlecan on such items, seems to have brilliant adhesion to the surface, not had any issues yet.

@ Red, I am with you on the stairs have a look below.

OK had an odd couple days, not much done, but here are a bunch of aesthetic shots for you...









Those stairs, agree with Red the design is off I think.


And started on this..


Panelling..

For the plynth..


Thanks for looking and all comments and critique gratefully accepted.

Absolutely Amazing! The Graffiti with the color fading is pretty fething awesome! And that skull panel! That needs cast for sure!

You are my go to reference for graffiti outside of the real world. Superb.

Need to catch up after a month or so of lurking on and off, so I came here as Cam can always be relied upon to amaze and inspire his readers... And I'm not disappointed in any way... All of this even though he's undergone some bionic upgrades...

Great job. Cool project.

Ha, that Dr H gets about with his tagging don't he.

Nice skull decor. The 40K designers would be proud.

Thanks all. Truly flattered and honoured by praise from people I look up to and inspire me.

@Dave, yup will be casting that as soon as supplies arrive.

Point of order here, I would like to say though I have been using the tarp method for a long time, many have done it before and, indeed, have done it much better. Ruglud did an excellent piece a few LoER comps back, with a pallet and crates covered in tarp, same method if memory serves. But I like to put these general ideas out there, again and again for new peeps and to jog the memory of some. Many of my techniques are not original, I really should make more of an effort to cite the origins.

Now pics, was not feeling great today so not much done. Started on this...



And sorted the tarps for the boxes, these are not fixed as yet.


Thank you for looking and stopping by.

Looking great as always Cam. It's great seeing that piece in all it's glory. I like the way you painted the tarps to make them look weathered. Also, I've been going through old LoER comps and enjoying them. I just got to the one where you made bamboo, that was so cool and creative! Awesome that you thought of that, I'm going to have to check if there are that kind of earbuds for sale near me. (It feels funny calling them that, where I'm from it would be cuetip/cotton swab and tooth pick rather than earbud and cocktail stick. Though those names do make a lot of sense)

'Mind The Step' Good one.

I don't think of the denizens of the underhive to be particularly safety conscious.

Impressive. Good size. That Aquila needs some graffiti. Of course your average ganger would tag it.

Amazing stuff here Cam, really love how this project is turning out. Your use of graffiti really fits the piece and keeps me looking for more little messages and bits.

As usual, I’m speechlessly in awe of the genius in creativity and execution you posess Cam. Keep it coming, your work is truly inspirational.

This is looking fantastic Cam,

The graffiti, the detailed interiors, the skulls for the plinth everything is coming together to make an epic piece!

The "Run U Fools" graffiti is my favourite due to how many references are within it

That's really taking it to the next level Cam! I mean, I was impressed by the basic structure, but now your 're really adding to it even more, evocating a dilapidated appartment block in a very 'realistic' way. I love how your attention to detail breathes life into models.

Thanks for the compliment Cam on the tarp... Your way works just as well though IMHO, whichever technique folk use, it's a lot of fun I think

I was just thinking to myself, "Boy, this looks great. But it needs more skulls."

CAM: DELIVERED.

 Briancj wrote:

CAM: DELIVERED.

^ this, all of this!

Wow, every piece you add on adds so much character. I should really learn, and I've only been around for some of your latest projects, but it's always the same:

"Ohh wow Cam's new thing is amazing. That looks great! Wonder what he'll do next"

2 days later:
"What? He added that *insert thing* and it looks ten time better! I'd never have thought of that!"

3 hours later:
"How did he do all those amazing things so quickly??!!!"

Thank you all.

Not a great day today, spent 6 hours back in hospital, one of the internal stitches became infected, ended up with a zit the size of a tennis ball on my leg, went in, they cut it, removed the offending item, and drained it and I am now the happy recipient of a large amount of anti-biotics to be consumed over the next week. The joys. Have to say, amazing service again thank you NHS.

So not much done today ...




Thank you all for your amazing support, thanks for looking.

Take 'er easy Cam! That sounds like a miserable day, but at least you wont go bankrupt from it.

That is crazy-good Cam! Everything... the asymmetry, the colors, the concept. I don't have enough superlatives in my vocabulary for it!

Septic issues...dang, was about to ask you anyway how your health progresses...hopefully just a minor setback...

The build is amazing and even then still getting better...your hip should take notice on this...

Amazing how your 'not much done today' is always more than my 'Wow, got a lot done today!' . Lovely work, and I hope the infection stays away!

Or paint something Nurgle Green, maybe appease him enough to leave you alone

This project is very FFVII Midgar Slums feeling, I really dig it.

What a terrific piece, Cam! Very Fritz Lange 'Metropolis' feel to it. Necromunda terrain but with a distinctly unique character.

With the eagle bit, it actually reminds me of the Niagara-Mohawk building in Syracuse, New York State!

You crazy bunch, thank you all for the comments....

Got a bit more done today, though wanted to get further, mind you, can't sleep cus of pain so might have to keep going...

OK, few not very good pictures for you all to look at.







These arn't much better...












Got to finish up the weathering, then I can start adding details to the exterior sections.

Thank you all so much for your wonderful support, very much appreciated.

Thanks for looking.

Wow Cam! Absolutely amazing! LOve, love LOVE the graffiti! LOER FTW!

Thanks Dave, really appreciate it coming from you.

oh wow! It was quite a shock to see my name jump out at me as I was going through the shots of this beautiful piece of terrain. That's really cool and flattering that you are immortalizing a bunch of us in such an epic piece. Keep up the amazing work Cam!

Just the bee's knees right there!

This just keeps on getting better and better! Love what you did with all the names too, quite flattering

Holy cow! I was so busy admiring the whole thing, I wasn't paying enough attention to the real details. A wonderful piece of terrain and as CommissarKhaine said, very flattering to have been made a part of it.

Thanks all, the tags are the best I can do toward a shout out to you guys that inspire me.

OK today's progress...












Just want to give a shout out to Bushfire, who's blog is really fantastic, washing line idea kinda came from him, I had done it before, but not thought about it in the underhive. Anyway here is his blog...
https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/745164.page

Right thank you for looking and the wonderful encouragement, you guys are amazing.

Love them! They have so much character!

Everybody is 'munda these days, but Cam!
Cam, your scenery is stunning and none other has that excellent graffiti
You're getting even better each time I look - awesome!

Ah, I see you took the Gorilla Glue endorsement

You've long since crossed the line between terrain for a game and a diorama, y'know that, right?

...And you tagged the Eagle head. Perfect!

I like the white light glimmers on your tags, they're very good.

Absolutely more gorgeous each time I see it!

I like how you can just keep watching and finding new stuff all the time... And the eagle graffiti definitely got a lol out of me

Thank you all so much.

Silicone arrived so started casting.....




If anyone wants anything just ask.

More soon.

Looking good cam!

Thanks CK.

Not sure which way to go on the panels...


More molds in the process...


And started messing about with a sculpt...


The start of a GUO

Thanks for looking.

I'm pretty sure that Great Unclean One will look amazing when it's done.

That Guo is going to be rotten! I like the left skull panel.

That head looks amazing! Did you seriously make it out of that super clay? How did you sculpt and keep such great detail?

The panels. Lose the skulls! Yes that is an exclamation point. Put an aquila in the center of the panel instead, and maybe some sort symbols in the lower corners.

Apart from my dislike for skulls as an aesthetic element, the skulls don't fit the motif of the piece. The aquilas will.

Keep up the great work, Cam'.

I think you should make a giant Aquila entirely from skulls, just for Red'. Or even better, a giant skull from skulls... and paint it red just to really get his eye twitching

But yeah, he has a good idea of doing some non-skull versions of those panels. It's a good blank canvas to do all kinds of things with.

Doc, when did you take up residence under a bridge?

Looking at the packaging for the super clay, I think I can say what finally happened to Clippy (Y'all remember clippy, no? )p
Looks like he signed his organ donor* card, died, and his eyes were harvested and transplanted into that star shaped entity. Descanse en Paz Clippy, you most hated of Microsoft creations.

* Ourgan Donour in the UK.

A true Renaissance man are you!

Left side skull panel for me. And that GUO looks like he's off to a nice start, keep it up

Literally the best thing I've read all week.

Wow! That is perhaps the best Necromunda terrain I've seen - the round pipe tunnels evoke the idea that it is supposed to be taking place basically in a city's basement, the weathering is top notch, and the graphiti looks great, fits the gang theme, and adds tons of interest. LEDs though, that is just showing off. : )

I have no more superlatives to give, just outstanding work in every detail - and this is still WIP - WOW

Red' : Ah Ha HA HA Ha ha... *insert maniacal laughter here*

Thank you guys and LOL.

OK this is for you Vik. Bit sad to be honest but hey....

Take some foam core, and cut out shapes to "layer" a 3D effect.


Stick them together ...and carve to assist the shape.



Then attack it with your hot glue gun, I drag the tip of the gun through the glue to form a texture.


A lick of paint and ...


Hope that helps Vik. Just a little practice and some thought and all sorts of things are possible. can't really claim any originality to this, think the first time I saw it was DM Scotty. It is durable enough, but if you really want it to last more than a few years of hard play, maybe consider casting it in resin.

Had a bit of a downer day today, did not get much done, back at it tomorrow.

Looks fantastic overall, Graffiti, the details, the whole shebang looks amazing, I'd love to have a game with some terrain like this on the table.

The GUO head looks great and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of it form over time
