Catching up on my required blog reading, That apartment building is excellent and the thought of the insert to let models climb the stairs is absolute genius and probably a great indicator of your attention to detail.

The Spider Bot is really cool, just need an army of little ones to go along with the big one.

The little Roman town is looking great Cam. And wow, I've never done anything in 15mm so seeing some of your tools and stuff in the background shows how tiny you are working

Thanks guys.

Yeah these are pretty small stuff, 10mm ancient rome is what I am aiming for.

Bit more to show tonight...
Scale shot with guardsman in.


Large storage shed.






And a housing block..(Insula) apartment block if you like.






Also started on a small farmstead...







And started in on some serious city walls type of things...


Thank you all for looking in, a big thanks to Sigur and Maniac_nmt, great help with the info.

Love that mosaic floor, great work.

the mosaic floor nailed it!

Yep. Mosaics are super-cool. And archeologists are finding new ones all the time, in various parts of former Imperial Territories.

Thanks guys.

Bit more on this....







Getting there..

Thanks for looking. Always enjoy your thoughts too .

That looks beautiful Cam, very scenic. Also, 10mm make a lot more sense for how small these look, I mis-remembered thinking they were 15mm.

Beautiful looking piece, almost looks more like a diorama than a playing piece. Very realistic especially from arms length.

The farm is absolutely fantastic

Nice work all round. Great job at this scale. It puts the larger scales into perspective, doesn't it?!

Can't really think of any general advice to give for this scale, I'm still muddling along and making it up as I go.
You seem to be doing well as you are though.

The spider tank turned out great, bigger than I thought too.

Some lovely work on the 10mm Roman stuff

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the spider tank.

I spotted the inspiration immediately from the initial shape. Probably not a surprise from my obvious liking for GitS.

I've wanted to make an "official" model of that tank for a long time.

Great job.

Thanks folks again, really appreciate the support.

So something different again. A while ago somehow I won a competition and got a great prize from InMyGravenImage......









The Falcone crime family, got to say they are beautiful models, really nice. My little scene was something knocked up today, but I am not 100% as scale seems just a bit off.

Thanks for looking. All C&C welcome.

Oh and I guess, Merry Christmas folks, hope you are surrounded by love and are happy tomorrow.

Dude they look Amazeballs and that scenic base just... glad to see them getting a little festive love. Merry Xmas dude.

Nice little farmstead. Do you have any 10mm pigs for the little pen?

The Batman minis are 35mm, so scale ought to be ~1/46 to ~1/50 depending on how the minis are measured, to the top of the head or the eyes.

It is a cool looking diorama. The guy with the mike is certainly saying, "Let's get ready to RUMBLE!"

Oh! I meant to say, I particularly love the smoke on Holiday's cigarette

Beautiful job Cam, love the integral bases and display.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Merry Christmas matey, to you and your loved ones! Here is already almost all over... Except for serious heartburn...too much cookies and other feasting

Merry Christmas bud - hope you and your family are having a good time and that SantaMek brings you lots o'goodies to amaze us with

Merry Christmas Cam! It's probably past Christmas where you are by now, but is still Christmas here. I hope you had a great day, and thaat Santa brought you some new materials or kits for you to wow us with

Merry Christmas Cam!

Fantastic stuff since I was last on here Cam.

Hope you had a good Christmas

My wife is super impressed by the Mosaic (Impluvium). She is an Archaeologist and enjoys when people model things with accuracy.

The crime family is great. The bases work amazingly well. In regard to scale maybe the bricks are a little too large. But that is a minor, minor thing on a truly awesome diorama.

Falcone's boys looking good, and well, that wall has no windows to help with scaling that much, so it gets to pass.

Thank you all so much for all the comments.

@ Graven Thanks bud.
@ Red Just got the pigs in the post today so they will be going in.
@ Theo Thanks bud.
@ Vik, Ah heartburn, boy do we love Gaviscon.
@ Ruglud, Santa was great to th family in general but this mek only had a small delivery, mus have been very naughty!!
@Syro, Thanks bud, I will try and wow anyways.
@ Maniac, Thanks bud.
@ Joe, well that will teach you to stop by more often then.
@ Archer, That is really cool then, very happy. And Thanks bud.
@ Shas, Thanks matey, good to see you.


OK first up a bit of cheating....small scale but not really.

Wanted to do a "Roman Baths" and it turns out they are quite into this kinda thing. So....


Which led to this....still WIP so be gentle...




Still very WIP....

And next because I fancied it and several others ( looking hard at you Klaus (not Santa) are mucking about with tanks and things I got a bit of the bug, so decided to start mucking about.

Had these on my desk for ages, they are hulls mad by OneManNoodle, and are brilliant, but incomplete, and I am meant to do something with them, so I have some Genestealer Cult kicking about, whaat about for them, yeah that will work because they don't use the old standard stuff, they use strange and wonderful stuff so lets make them a couple transports.....

Started like this, the more observant will notice that only one hull is partialy detailed...


So half a day later and a lot of cursing because OMN is so much better at modelling than me, I think I have it close enough to two near enough the same....


Can't believe I messed up the grab handles, but not messing about with them now, had to scratch them together as it is. Next is lots more details.

Thanks for looking and feel free to comment please.

i´ve shown my wife your dolphin mosaic...the turtle now she will love too...it´s really awesome how you took a foothold in this small scale and you are shining already ! you are literally someone to teach architecture...i think you got the look done to a T...


also...nice to see some rivet making and proper chunky scratch building here again^^

It’s like the villa of my dreams, I just need to shrink to 10mm scale.

Your mosaics are beautiful Cam. What scale did you build the Roman baths in? Being that you said 'small scale but not really'. I'm looking forward to seeing how your transports turn out, it's impressive that you were able to match OMN's so closely (even if you say you didn't)

Thanks folks.

@Vik, Thank you young man, kind words.
@ Theo, Move in any time bud, or I can come over and knock you up a 1:1 scale version.
@Syro 10mm, but this feels like cheating because the model is 150mm square.

Tanky stuff.....

Washing machine hose...approx. 20mm diameter ribbed plastic waste pipe.

And some Epoxy Putty, the fast kind because I got no patience.

Done on a placky bag.

Drill some holes.


Added sometracks and a few little details...




Getting there.

Thanks for looking in and C&C welcome as always.

Good thinking on the wheels

Bath house is amaze-balls. I so want to try the mosaic idea in 1/50 scale now.

That is a clever use for the hose. Very clever. Those tracks are very Tiger Panzer-esque...

Are the tracks made of hollow stuff? Or how did you achieve that look?

And best wishes for the new year!!!

Happy New Year everyone. Best wishes to all of you for a great year ahead.

Happy new year Cam.

Happy New Year Cam!

Happy New Year to you and yours.

The tracks are looking nice. I find your creative use of materials quite an inspiration.

I am informed the names of the three pools in your bath house are called the Tepidarium, Calidarium and the frigidarium, apparently progressing through the thermal baths was a bit of a thing like the Japanese like to do in their bath houses.

Wow, that terrain is stunning. I love the little farmhouse and the bathhouse is outstanding!

Camkierhi,

Great little tutorial on your track wheels.

Cheers,

CB

Thanks folks, much appreciated.

Well been a bit slow here, did get a little paint down on this thing...


And just for you Red....



OK bit of an annoucement, I am definately going down the comission route, and will be also making some terrain to sell. I will shortly have a bunch of my older stuff up for grabs on Ebay. I will let you know when this happens but it will soon, and please let folk know about it. 2019 is the year I get my finger out.

In the mean time, thanks for looking and as always C&C is most welcome.

That's a big step forward on the tank, Cam. Looking good. Also best of luck with commission work, you certainly have the skills for it.

Exciting times ahead, awesome dude!

But Cam! I was expecting some Gloucester Old Spot pigs, or maybe even Oxford Sandy and Black pigs.

For a wee island, Great Britain sure has many varieties of pigs.

Pigs make a nice detail. I thoroughly approve.

Are those mud flaps on the back of the tank? The tow cable is nicely executed. Picture hanging wire?

You should do well with the commissions. You have an excellent and extensive portfolio. And plenty of satisfied recipients of your work already. ( including me.) Please don't quit your day job just yet. I understand that the UK is going through some unsettled times right now.

Thanks folks.

@ Red typical, you are never happy, always pushing me harder. Thanks bud.

Well I thought I might have a bit of a laugh here, some great modellers do a year in review post. I normally don't but to be honest I would like to, because I think it will help me. IRL has been a hell of a year. My modelling has kept me alive , quite literally at times. You guys out there being with me has really made a difference in a gak world. So I think a look at what we have done in the last year will be a laugh if nothing else.

Now I am going to keep this brief, a pic of each project, because I think this may end up being a long post.....

Thank you all, really geniunely from my heart, thank you, for looking in and for commenting now and then, it is an honour and a privilege to have you wonderful people out there giving your time to a silly sod stuck on a silly island.

As I have said, I am going to try my hand at this commissioning lark, any scale any thing you can think of I will have a go at building.

Thanks once again.

Damn Mate!
You've been BUSY!
And so much cool and nice stuff!
Hats off to you Sir!

Excellent stuff all round Cam, a decent year's work

Amazing old son. Well done indeed. Have you considered 20mm (hot wheels) post apoc?

Thanks for posting this retrospective. A lot of very nice pieces in there. For some reason, I thought you were already doing this professionally. Good luck with this next endeavor!

You have made so many amazing pieces this year Cam, it boggles the mind. Thanks for the enjoyable year of visiting your blog and being inspired

Glad you decided to do a year summary post.
You have managed to do quite a lot of amazing looking stuff Cam!

I wish you good luck with the comission work. As if you would actually need luck

Lots of great work there Camkierhi.

Cheers,

CB

Thank you everyone.

Has been a great having you guys along.

Now just a quicky here, in my efforts to go pro as it were, set up a face book page for Camkierhi Creations. Now accepting all commission work.

https://www.facebook.com/Camkierhi-Creations-343978276437260/?modal=admin_todo_tour

Please feel free to have a gander.

Great job on the villa and am just loving the armored vehicle.

Thanks Gits, great to see you about.

Not a biggy but spent a while redoing the OP for this blog with a linked index, bloody hell that took some doing.

Not getting a lot of time at the mo, daughter has taken over my world with several Art projects for college, but more soon I promise.

2019 will be the year of the scratch built Hexblade! Right?

Sorry folks, bit crap at the mo, hope to have something soon, but right now don't feel like going near anything too sharp.

Sorry to hear that buddy. Facebook page looks good

While I don’t Facebook, I did go and check it out .

Liked, left comment. Go, go, Cam!

I love your terrain and diorama work! The Hive Hab and the "Night Club Scene" are probably my favorites, and your freehand graffitis are brilliant!

Great collection of projects.

My FB page has liked your page.

All the best. Hope you feel better soon.

Stunning body of work for a year, over a large variety of subjects. They look smashing.

Great stuff in 2018 Cam

Looking forward to what you do in 2019

Thank you all so much, really appreciate the comments and the views.

Sorry been a bit quiet. Still in the dark place here, but got to get going. Friend has asked me to make him a model, intention might be to make a few, but will see how this goes. Not quite wargaming but might make a few 40k style for some of the great guys here abouts who would appreciate them. OK so here we go.

This is a reference pic of the actual thing....

And here is a brilliant model made in tin by a previous gent...


And here is a couple hours work on getting started...




Had to make an engine so made a mold for future offerings..


Thank you all for looking and all C&C as always is most welcome.

good to see you starting into the new year with new fresh projects...this will be certainly a new take...and you´re making good headway already!

Will you even be able to see the engine? Looking forward to see how you do the wheels. (And the rest obviously.)

I always love the engines you construct, good thinking making a mold

That is a hell of a year in the hobby - work to be proud of! I had missed snikrot and the ork storage bins - those are great. The tank factory is really impressive finished. My brief commission tenure ended on a low note - my advice is to be sure to charge what your amazing stuff is worth strait up. My notion that I was going to produce good stuff for a great price ended badly, because really many people in the commission terrain market aren't looking for "good", even if the price is very reasonable. And don't take calls after 9 Pm, your time! Good luck with it.

Arakasi? Is that really you?!

Wonders never cease! Good to hear you again man.


Love the car Cam. Going to be brilliant as all your work is.

Heck of a year, Cam. Thanks for posting the review, I've missed a lot and that was a nice way to catch up. You are a prolific and talented fellow. Hang in there, we're pulling for you!

 Gitsplitta wrote:

Yup, it's me - although it is funny you only noticed I was back on someone else's blog. I thought you were just ignoring me

Thanks folks, great to hear from you all.

@ Arakasi, Engine will be visible in this case as I will be making the hood a working part. And see below for wheels...

First I make a rough ring in plasticine (actually bought some fancy "no sulphur" stuff here

And as you can see added a hub and spokes in styrene tube...


This is the master after I did mold. yes the master ended up destroyed.

And a nice silicone mold so I can make plenty of wheels.


And the result...

Couple of the lights cast as well.

And a quick look to see how I am for size..


Not bad, by the time I add the rubber for the tyres will be spot on.

As a quick side note, here is Dads advise and hobby supplies being put to good use for my daughters college project....


Thanks for looking and hope that helps with the wheel thing, and of course if any one wants some wheels just ask, can make them pretty much any size.

Totally spaced the post. Sorry my friend. Still, good to see you back and posting.

so....this rises some questions...

why sulphur free?...note: i am as far from being a chemic as one might get...so?...^^

also...the wheel looks very promising!

and...what does your lil daughter study that this project helps her?...also...looks promising...she´s following your footsteps alright!

That almost looks like wagon wheels .

Nice work on the fire engine engine . Your daughters project looks pretty cool, is that trek trunk bits in the corner I see?

Camkierhi wrote:@ Arakasi, Engine will be visible in this case as I will be making the hood a working part.

I should have guessed.

Camkierhi wrote:First I make a rough ring in plasticine. And as you can see added a hub and spokes in styrene tube...

I feel I am missing a step here - what is the material of the wheel (not the hub and spokes) at this point, and how did you get from "a rough ring in plasticine" to it?

Camkierhi wrote:Not bad, by the time I add the rubber for the tyres will be spot on.

Appears to be missing some spokes? Looking forward to seeing what you do for the rubber tyres.

I'm feeling an itch to try my hand at molds again / for the first time...

Gitsplitta wrote:Totally spaced the post. Sorry my friend. Still, good to see you back and posting.

Absolutely no harm done - I'm glad to be back!

Thanks folks.

@Gits, comes with age they say.
@ Vik, Sulpher free cus some silicone and resins react with sulphur based products, (such as standard Plasticine) And she is doing Art and Design and is currently in final year of college and going hopefully to University next year. All looking good at the moment, that particular piece is very much WIP, it will be hung up but will be a rock pool scene, so looking at lots of resin and added effects for the finished piece. This is obviously all her own work, I am resisting the urge to help well, but she is very happy I am a modeller and have an extensive supply of materials.
@ Theo, could have a go at knocking up some 28mm scale wagon wheels for you if you want, easy enough now i have the process down. Whats a trek trunk?
@ Arakasi, Sorry bud, by making a negative in the Plasticine, I then poured 2 part resin in, it gives you a rough cast, but is easy enough to clean up then added the styrene details, and then made the mold to pour silicone in, again to make that mold I used the Plasticine. Once I had a silicone mold, I then cast the whole unit in 2 part resin, giving me the end product. Which has a nice cast iron feel to it, is very strong and solid, except against twisting force. Another words if it rolls it is fine, I can drop it from desk height fine, but if I get hold of it and twist it, it breaks. More molding below so see if that helps. Oh and the number of spokes, the actual vehicle has six spokes but the model made previously had a lot more, not sure why.

So bit more progress on details.

Engine in and initial paint job done...


And here is a reference shot for comparison.


And worked on the rear pump area a bit...
Original styrene "masters".

Then after I made a mold this is the first resin cast...broke a little bit getting it out of the mold, but not an issue..


And then stuck in place and repaired..


And again here is a reference shot for the back end.



Thanks for looking in folks, please ask away.

Great work on the rest of the gadgets/nozzles.

Trek trunks must prove I’m more of a Star Trek fan than a Star Wars fan since my autocorrect changed tree-trek .

Indeed, your daughter is greatly benefiting from your views, rescources and understanding... That is often not happening fir young artists with their parents... I am hoping for my son Felix to develop himself one future day in a similar way... Then all my medling with glue and stuff would have a higher justification...

Also...question time.... Did your friend allow you some beans as to why he needs maybe more than just one firefighter car? Whars he up to???

Amazing attention and commitment to detail.

Thanks for that Cam. That was my best guess, but the gap between the rough mold and the oh so perfect wheel - I couldn’t believe it - hats off to you good sir!

Really cool Cam. Love the way you're taking inspiration from RL.

Holy smokes, Cam! your output last year is immense!
So much awesome stuff!
Personal favourite is the haulers - top job on them, and always great to see the 'reality' aspect of the 30k/40k universe in model form.

Excellent year in review, Cam. I'm very jealous; I literally got nothing done in 2018 at all. I'm hoping my 2019 will be better. As always, you're an inspiration to me and I look forward to what the new year brings for you.

Nice work on the fire engine bits and bulk.
Good to see you following real life and not the model.

and good work to Rhi' too.

Thank you all so much, and thanks for your patience. I am all over the place at the moment, but will get settled in a bit.

et all ..seriously thank you for the comments, really means a lot.

@ Vik, might sell some for charity type thing, though I am trying to be a bit cautious on that one, not sure haw many I want to make, even if I do get the fiddly bits cast-able. Also really not sure about someone buying it as a toy. Not intended for that purpose obviously, but people!!

OK trying to get the juices flowing and getting my son a bit distracted from ranting at online xboxing, had a go at another of his Tau, while he works on other Tau...

Again he got this ages ago, and stuck it all together before painting it, so it is a pitta to paint now, still a bit WIP, not happy with the finish at the moment, it is like I can't decide between clean and dirty, just looks a mess, even the pics are crap. But here you go...




And another distraction...so I can't remember if I mentioned I got my mits on a ultrasonic cleaner, well thought I would have a play...
Just 10 minutes of treatment...



And a little later..


And a little later still...


While I was waiting between times did a bit of work on one of them, still WIP....





Thank you so much for looking in , and please feel free to comment.

Cam does Gaslands . I need to break out my ultrasonic cleaner.....I.e. reclaim it from the wife .

That's cool how well that ultrasonic cleaner works. How did that project you helped you daughter with for college do?

Weathered Tau is always a cool sight!
Is your son playing fortnite per chance? My son does...and its like he switches to a whole different persona while playing....so aggressive and loud...otherwise he way calmer and in general a nice person...but there... I wish i could drag him away from this scene..

These cars are matchbox sized, right? Awesome results, in cleaning them and redoing them too!

Methinkst your new toy is going to get quite a work-out!

Gah! More post-apoc cars! Looks so cool. Must resist. Too much happening already. Be happy with vicarious living.

Sorry. Had a moment. Liking the white Tau suit. It feels somewhere between a stromtrooper and a Gundam.

You turned that Mercedes into something much more awesome!
Interested to see what you do with the others.

Awww snap ! Gaslands from Cam! But, now I have to do more stuff

Thanks folks.

@ Theo, Yup cleaner works a treat.
@ Syro, Daughter is still working on it.
@ Vik, yup matchbox cars. And no idea what he plays, varies a lot, but often ends with yelling.....him at the screen and then me at him.
@Gits, oh yeah, must be up about 10 hours of work all ready, stripping all sorts, cleaning stuff up, does make a slightly annoying buzzing noise though.
@ Youwashock, Resist bud, try!! And yeah, he chose the scheme, think it is close to the one GW have on the boxes, but I am not sticking to anything set in stone.
@ Ezki, Thanks bud, well look below, but still WIP bud.
@ Graven, Oh yeah bud, but I would not worry too much, unless someone shouts me these will be coming your way anyways.

So bit more done....WIP still



Love this golden oldie...well Chrysler I think...


So making a mold, to make some terrain pieces for the Gaslands thing, I guess terrain is not a big element, but a few lumps about the map will surely make it more interesting.


And after a lick of paint...


And the original was minus an interior so made one...


And while I was messing about, I had this old wooden box someone gave me ages ago, it had a bunch of metal casting molds, and metal and a few bits...






If anyone has use for the little tanks shout me.

And had to have a go with resin in the metal rubber molds...


Going to play a bit more, but not really getting much time at any of this at the moment.

Well thank you folks, really appreciate everything.

Cars look great!

@ Vik, yup matchbox cars. And no idea what he plays, varies a lot, but often ends with yelling.....him at the screen and then me at him.

LOL....exactly my own reaction...every bloody time... can´t remember ever getting so wound up due to a game in my whole life in comparison...


i am reviewing your endeavours over these last couple of years....and it is not your awesome learning curve or your prowess in so many fields...it is the fearlessness in which you tackle new stuff...i think this is the most important lesson we all can and should learn and appreciate in this thread!

And the original was minus an interior so made one...

this literally sums it all up in one small sentence!

Things are looking amazing!

Actually it's a really big part of the game! Race gates, obstacles, crash barriers, sentry turrets... It's televised murder death arena race, after all!

I only know it’s Fortnite for my son because he keeps asking to buy (fake money in that game), and me walking by on my way to my paint desk and seeing his guy running around in a bush .

That’s a great car to use for molding , terrain does play a great deal in the game, though it’s seen kind of like the asteroids in X-Wing, visible but unless your a terrain person it can just be chits.

i´ve been unnerved by this game for about a year now...it´s really a scourge of the civilization... don´t even get me started on grades....argh...

Those cars are fantastic looking!! Wow! Love them Cam.

The car you cast and painted turned out so well! Impressive as always Cam

Why can’t they just play Mortal Kombat like we did

when i did, it was in the army and we played together, side by side...shoving and pushing while pressing buttons.... you yelled at the one at your side...this was more to the point... i mean even tho the have expensive headsets to yell at each others it is like they still yell at the screen only...
also...the have headsets so they can talk around the world while playing...but never use the phones they own for their true intended purpose...voicemails....argh... the youth....:shakes fists:

Camkierhi,

The cars are a fine piece of work and would make some nice terrain features.

Cheers,

CB

Thanks all, sorry for hiatus, been away on family stuff.

So here is actually some stuff I did earlier, but this is where I am starting from. Got to try and get the juices flowing, been around your blogs and so much great work and inspiration.

Here we are then, sorry it is a bit boring as it is just stuff I have kinda posted already.

Gaslands terrain

and cars..




And this is were the 10mm roman terrain is, any suggestions welcome on this.


Thanks for looking and all comments welcome.

Great stuff mate - only suggestion is to make a section of Hadrian's wall for the Roman's to defend against the Pictish hordes

That Gaslands stuff is amazing - particularly the terrain!

Camkierhi,

The Roman terrain is very...well white. I think there were be a little natural weathering or plant growth to add some green. Just a suggestion.

Cheers,

CB

how on earth did you get that detailed stone texture to the streets? do you own these GS world rolling pins? if so...what´s your opinion on them?

that yellow jeep reminds me so strongly of zombiland...it just needs a brushed on number now^^

very cool stuff....!

Looks great dude

Family stuff matters! Oh, and that stuff is as amazing as always! Looking forward to more! Romain terrain could use some weathering, as was said above by CB.

Very fun looking!

Your skills a an ork big mek transfer nicely into crafting those cars for Gaslands, they looks very cool and well crafted. I also really like all the 10mm Roman terrain. Do you have a grass coloured board to pose it all on?

Great job on the rusty cars.

Nice work on the terrain. I can't think of anything to add, but I'm no Roman expert.

How hard is making the cast for the cars? I would like to try it with some city/castle walls for Warmaster. Make a section about 65mm long, and about 30mm deep.

Can you re-use the mold? I'd need to cast multiple instances of the wall to make it usable for play.

I have a reasonable idea for how to orient the wall, but a gate section might be more complicated than it's worth (to start with anyways).

Oooh, an xr3i cabrio! Niiiice!

Yeay gods been a while.

First sorry for delay.

@ Vik yup most of it was GSW (greenstuff world) rolling pin, cannot recommend them enough.
@ Maniac_nmt, Highly recommend molding and casting it is great fun, and not too expensive if you are wise. I mostly do single part molds, though I have had a fair bit of success with two part molds. I could look at making you a couple molds if you like.

OK I quite literally have done nothing for weeks. Just managed to sit down today at 2pm.

So for this blog, here is me starting in on my entry for the latest LoER comp. been running for some time and ends at the end of this month, but that aint no biggy for me, if I stick to my guns.

Once more unto the breach...


And the biginnings of a frame.


Oh and picked this up in Home Bargains in the UK. 69p Nice little sculpting tool I recon.


Thank you for looking back soon I hope.

Looks like a BIG building is in the works?

watching and wondering^^

Bigger is always better.

Nice work on the Latifundum. However, a stretch of the Rhine in lieu of Hadrian's Wall might look nicer. Y'all know the Rhine, That nice body of water intended to keep the French out of Germany

I'm sure the project is mostly finished by the time I post this.

Not really that big, and yet again, sorry Red, it will be a bit broken.

@ Red, thank you, I am going to go back over most of that terrain. Now I have the juices flowing. Might add a few river sections, though I don't really know how big I need a river to be for this scale.

OK Bit more done on the current distraction.

Theme is "name of the game" and we are meant to use playing pieces, so to start with a slight cop out using playing cards.


Also scored some nasty cheap dominoes, going to see what I come up with them.


And after a couple hours messing about.


Thank you for looking.

That ruin looks nifty so far. Cutting all that card must have been quite the chore.

Man I would have just used one card as a rug , nice work with the dominos , were they hard to cut?

Big thing is looking big I'll need to go rummaging in Home Bargains now, brave the daytime pyjama wearers...

Camkierhi,

Now that was a cunning idea.

Well played, well played.

Cheers,

CB

Nice shape to get going with.

Great Start Cam, looking forward to the progress

Impressed I am. Playing cards. A House of Cards* . Very clever Mr. Cam. Or better said, "well played, Mr. PeanutCam, well played." It's a Seinfeld reference.

*I enjoyed the British version with Ian Richardson. Never saw the US version. Same with Traffik. Not a fan of remakes, me.

Thank you all.

Little progress...




Work continues...

Thank you for looking.

Framing... in miniature... My house doesn't look that good!

Cam’s bringing the heat.....
I’ll get my hat

Some men want to watch the world burn...

Good work on your wood work.

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

Lined it with card.



Then beat it up and added a "moulding".



Thank you for looking.

Are you going to leave the playing cards as-is? They look like really ugly wallpaper, like my grandmother used to have in her formal dining room.

^ I really hope that's how he's using them. It'll have a great, deacying, lovecraftian mansion feel.

I LOVE that! The playing cards and molding are fantastic ideas. Wow...

The playing cards do work well as wall paper, good point guys. Nice job with the molding Cam, your miniature architecture skills are shining again.

Now that looks good!
I love the floorboards and the playing cards on the walls. Really realistic stuff.

Looking good Camkierhi.

Definitely keeping to the theme of "The Name of the Game"

Cheers,

CB

Mate that's really cool !

Before its all qlued together you should make molds and cast a load up !

House of Cards....nice.

House of Cards....nice.

i see what you did there....



amazing work Cam... but all that work of structuring only to be covered then...argh^^

Well thank you all for the wonderful comments.

Sorry Josh they are staying. On the inside at least.

And @ Vik, well you know me by now, have to have it done proper.

So started on the "roof"..



And added some of those dominoes for detail to the front.


And started on a staircase I am not sure I will use...


Then I slapped some paint around...





So I guess it is starting to take shape.



Thank you for looking.

Paint works great with the cards. Roof looking great, and you need to use the steps.

The marble work paint job on the outside

Looks ace. Given that you've made the staircase, maybe destroy it and have it collapsed through the building?

Wow! Do you have a tutorial for your marble anywhere?

And @ Vik, well you know me by now, have to have it done proper.

i´m totally with you here! it´s because of this tho that building ruins is very hard for me, as i tend to always make only intact buildings because of this...

also...the roof is developing nicely, and i can´t say anything about the marble exterior...that is

especially what you did to the flooring is amazing tho...that nice stain is mouthwatering...looks like honey to be honest big

these kebabsticks you used i have too...was planning on trying to make butresses one day with them, but i like your idea and use way better!!!

the stairs are good looking, but i am unsure about the angle these would create... will it reach the next level? the way you pictured it i can´t tell...

The stairs are intriguing. craft sticks for the treads and strings, and balsa wood to make the risers?

Each of the individuals elements are beautiful in their own right, but the effect of the whole it really awe inspiring. Definitely find a use for the stairs.

Nice work on all the pieces.

Thank you all.

@Theo, Thanks mate, and since you asked see below.
@Syro, Thanks bud.
@Graven Ta, and nice idea, might yet go that way, but not quite yet...
@Fifty, I did have a tutorial , but to be honest I actually did it different this time so going to have to revamp it.
Here are the previous...

@ Vik, Thanks bud.
@Red, Thanks sir, the risers are some of the off cuts from the bamboo skewers.
@Gits, Thanks bud.
@ DrH, Thank you sir.

OK well not a lot done, been a bit meh....but here you go some progress...

So started on some furnishings...





And then took a look at the stairs. (here you go red...)






And obviously the stairs need to go somewhere..




And there you are I am back in the saddle so to speak.

Thank you all so much for looking in and all your comments are really appreciated.

Damn, that staircase is fantastic. Those bamboo skewers are a perfect fit for that use.

Excellent use of the skewers. I've wondered about using them for oars on a ship, but it would take to much sanding to round the long bit out.

As stairs they work wonderfully.

Wouldn't have to round them off. Usually, they sank iron or bronze bars into the wood as handles. A bit of wire, and boom, done!

Also,

NOTE HOW MANY LITTLE POINTY STICKS HE HAS LEFT FROM THE SKEWERS.

Just sayin'.

--B.

The hardwood floor came out really well. Are those little craps tables?

Those playing card walls are wonderful - love the different materials/textures/colors/sheens in that picture.

This whole project has me in awe Cam, amazing work as usual.

Really, really cool. The staircase is one of the nicest I have seen in a long while. Great lines and curves on it.

OMG those stairs! The things you can do with popsicle sticks and bamboo skewers would astound any man

Not only is the floor masterfully laid, the underside has joists! Add in the staircase and my mind is just blown.

Cam, how is it that you keep outdoing yourself?

Thank you all so much, can't express how much it means.

Only a little progress.

Couple tables..



Then stuck card to the top and sanded it roughly to try and make a baize effect.




And so after a touch of stain on the stairs and upper floor...


Thank you for looking.

beautiful work cam, it's ncie seeing the building from more angles along with the new additions. Want to give us any hints of what you have planned next?

in the end you will notice this setup needs a pool table...

(just sneaking in some ideas to avoid early winning status here)

stairway is an eyeopener...as for the rest....man ... i am so screwed^^

Heh heh, so true, I always feel I have a decent chance of winning until Cam fully gets in gear on what he's making

That's astounding work Cam. You never cease to amaze.

Loving these updates Cam. I wish I had your skill level.

Pool table.....come on Vik, we need the stage with dancing girls for the real Las Vegas atmosphere .

Oh yes, i'm loving the gambling den!!
The little skull table legs are amazing dude!!

Thanks all, really appreciate it.

Slow going, just don't go there. But some work on the roof section.








Thank you for looking.

Very cool!

i´m still wondering about the universe this is meant for...

and...amazing...

I feel like reams of fan fiction could easily be inspired by this building, lol. Impressive as always Cam.

It is a very interesting combination of construction materials... marble facade, beautiful wallpapered interior, wood floors, skull legged furniture... and then with large chunks blown off. Wonderfully incongruous.

I feel there needs to be something dark, mysterious and nasty in the attic

Looking great Cam, I agree that there should be something dark or mysterious in the attic.

Toys. Just toys in the attic.

Sooner or later, for a roof, I imagine that you will find a way to split a piece of slate into little tiny roof tiles and use them to make a genuine slate roof.

Then there are all the cool ways to make the roof trusses. That's similar to a King post you've got there, one variant anyway.

Such a nice piece. So much for the eye to enjoy. Please do continue.

Smashing work. Coming alive with each post.

I very much enjoy your scratchbuilding. It's great to see 'simple' materials, VERY affordable, turned into amazing terrain!

--B.

Thank you all so much really appreciate every word.

OK been a real slog for me, just not doing well at the mo, but here is the (slightly) finished entry. Yes I am going to add a few more details, but the deadline is now so this is the entry.






And so I built a bit more for the roof section.















So yes it comes in two, and you can have the front end looking like a full building, and if you wish you can remove the stairs and upper floor. And if you want you can remove the roof and the upper walls slide away to reveal a ruin, as in the first pic.

Think I will be adding some details to the loft and a sign out front, but we will see. Thank you for looking and as always please feel free to critique.

NICE!!!

Well, that sucks so much it's SPECTACULAR.

Amazing .

And with you using cards for walls and such I am now absolutely sure your not playing with a full deck anymore .

Enormous thing of enormous beauty!

That comment is so full of win!!!


Also cam....there goes my chances again of winning...excellent work mate! Verrrry realistic looking!

It's a thing of beauty Cam, I can't compliment it enough. I hope you add a sign out front, I want to know what this place was called when it was still a thriving house of chance.

Wow, that is awesome. The theming is spot on, it looks super striking with the green exterior but what really sells it to me is the way it is designed to be usable for play, with the stair case and the ability to use it in a variety of configurations.

¡Ánimo! Cam. An amazing build. For some games, I think a fair number of open sided buildings not in ruins, such as this, and in this size range, could make for a very nice table.

Perfect fit for the theme too. Well done.

The skulls for table legs still kill me, BTW. In a good way, of course.

That’s a stunning piece of work Cam,, need to check in more often, your generating some lovely stuff.

Camkierhi,

Voted for you in the Terrain Competition.

Cheers,

CB

Well done. Good design, good execution, good result.

Thank you all so much.

Only went and bloomin won didn't it. So I get to run the next round.



Check it out.

Back very soon with stuff promise.

K not really a update but by way of explanation.



So decided to get a clean deck. Wonderful friend let me have a dining table.

Work area.


Shame the rest is a mess still.





Work incoming, off to sit down and crank out a few bits.

Boy gak howdy, do I know depression. I hope you're getting therapy and drugs. Take it from me, THEY WORK.

--Brian

somehow seeing your messy workplace makes it even worse getting beaten by you...

nice lamp by the way...

also...you´re a true artisan...and i just talked about your rightful win here and that your "sensitive" nature are what makes you so good at what you do... artists mostly have issues...i bet this is of no comfort for you...but happy and sunshine people have no need to change the world or create something new...like an intelligent person never has to learn from their mistakes...

When I hit the Lottery I’m starting my own show called Game Hoarders, seeing your workspace you can be in season one, just behind me still as your room is like my basement on a small scale .

Take care man, the second thing I’m doing with lottery winnings is flying around the world and giving big manly man hugs to all the gang.....might have to scrounge a few of you all up to go with me....field trip

Thanks folks.

@ Brian, currently in the process of changing things up.
@ Vik, indeed necessity being the mother of invention, because I have "stuff" it puts a slant on the world that makes me want to improve it.
@ Theo, I wish you lots of luck with the lottery, I'd be up for a trip. Especially the manly man hug bit.

So settled down to a little "new" project. Been here before, but here is something different.



This is rough at the moment but will be cleaned up tomorrow once all set up.


Thank you for looking.

Is that for a certain cave filled with bats? Or just a fun project?

That's an impressive cutting mat. What is the significance of the penny?

i wonder if that already qualifies as forgery...

i am hoping you are making a complete batcave setup now


as for the "slant " thing...we recently got a new couch...and as you probalbly know...this causes a domino effect in any household...especially if you want (read the kids) want to keep the old one still...? well...it ended in getting rid of many collected debris items that accumulated in my boxes...but now i am a little leaner and more effective...to collect anew...

That green marble slabbed building is amaze balls!!!

Congratulations on the win. Well deserved.

Good start to the big coin.

Awesome. Is that a commission ? I tried to punt one your way.

Yep graven, my first official comission for Camkierhi Creations. Via recommendation from you.

I hope you make more than a penny off the deal

 Camkierhi wrote:

Fantastic mate. Great to hear.

a mold would make probably a really nice cake,eh?

Congratulations of your first official commission Cam! Looks like you're not holding back either, the quality of the penny you're sculpting is superb. Even with your skill it must be hard finding commissions since so many people in the hobby and especially here on Dakka love to make everything themselves.

Catching Up. My new dog is not only eating my homework, but all of my free time.

Congratulations on the victory and the commission.

Depression is a medical condition, like, say, diabetes. Too many people don't realize that.

Also, seeing those workplace photos... Mrs. Cam is a sainte, You realize that, no? I could never get away with that. Even though I have been banished to my basement for some time now. "Appearances must be maintained." Sigh.

US coins. Intriguing. I have a 1945 Lincoln penny somewhere. It's the 1943 copper penny that is the real find. You've made a fine start.

Thanks folks,

@ Syro, yeah not many folks know about me yet.
@ Red, she is the best wife and partner any man could ask for.

And so, the other side...


Currently in making the mold to cast in resin.

Thank you for looking.

the sheer size of the cast would make it possible to have two one -sided and just glue them together...?
looking very neat!

Thanks Vik, and I understand what you are saying, but trying something with this one.

Cast done...




And as if to prove Vik right, the first cast was a miscast, but does give me the opportunity to slap a little paint on to see how it looks.


Thanks for looking. All C&C welcome.

Looks really good Cam. Remember to add some lighter, shinier areas of copper to reflect the wear on the coin's patina.

Shiny!!!

(Also, wirh a casting piece that big, its bound to happen to have some starting issues...)

Time to practice your verdigris...

I recently made verdigris wash.. For such a huge piece probably the best way to deal with it...wash it in a big and shallow plate...and then drying??? Probably twice, for every side at least once?

Wow, Cam you continue to amaze. Did you ever mention why your commission is a giant high detail penny? Is it a batman thing, like someone mentioned? Some other game related thing? Present for a coin collector?

By the painted pic size that looks like the size of a large dinner plate . I can’t imagine eating off of that , wouldn’t want to eat corn off of Lincoln’s beard.

I believe it is a Batman Batcave thing. The client will soon let me know as it is on it's way now.

Thanks folks, much appreciate the comments. I have the mold now so could make many but not sure how big a market there is for such a thing.

@ Vik, yes I think I might do a silly little dio with this buried and weathered up just for a laugh. And verdigris washes will be applied.

Cover plate for a stargate .

Mankind, exploring anew world, stumble across this immense, half buried ancient artifact. It isn't until the exploration party gain a position of height that they realize that they've returned to an Earth devastated by nuclear war and they've been shrunk by the denizens of the Upper Magellanic Cloud Galaxy and are now the size of insects.....

Like Charlton Heston at the end of Planet of the Apes!

^ I like the sound of this start of an interesting storyline...you should work on that!

Or a mad scientist has been able to increase the size...

Cheers,

CB

Is this like the giant Batcave penny?

Thanks folks.

@ Meer_Cat, That sounds brilliant.
@ CB, very possible.
@WP, yup that is it.

So change of tack here, back to the Fire Engine project. Shown here as reference for folk to see how I do things like springs and shaping materials.






Thanks for looking folks.

I love those springs.

Say, do you the fine folks of the United Kingdom have an expression like, "A penny saved is a penny earned." (Normally attributed to Ben Franklin, BTW.)

I'm liking this Fire Engine project.

Loving the springs. I've been thinking about tiny ones (gaslands again), so those are a good reference.

Back to the firetruck Awesome work, detailed leaf springs .

Thanks folks,

So working steering is complicated....


Thanks for looking, back later with more.

Bit more,







Yup broke out the heat gun to form those curvy wings.


Thank you for looking, normal mad service will be back soon promise.

Your skills never cease to amaze me. Always showing new skills and even more detailed work every post.

Wow, the fire truck is looking amazing Cam. You put so much time and detail into the vehicles you make. I think someone said before that you put so mcuh detail into your vehicles that them look like they're going to drive away, and I have to agree.

So much loveliness there. Loving your heat gun work.

Such a lovely engine! Even in white it looks very... proper. Attention to details really paying off. Cheers!

Cam, that's brilliant!

Looking most excellent there, Cam'. Good work.

Classic.

Camkierhi,

Hope that there were no burns from the heat gun.

[Feels twitch in left forearm from past experience]

Cheers,

CB

Thank you folks very much appreciated.

Started painting today, still have a lot of the details to be added and this is an early blocking in of the colours but....


Thank you for your patience. Thanks for looking in.

It is so very RED.

I, of course, approve unreservedly.

I do enjoy seeing these sorts of projects, Cam.

Do continue.

Lovely. Are you going to go for a very high gloss finish - and if so, how?

Astounding craftsmanship. I, too, hope for high-gloss red. Like a big piece of candy.

Thanks for the comments.

Well she is done...








Comparison, old model and mine.


Thanks for looking.

Candy apple tastic

Lovely work and an interesting departure from the other things I've seen you create. It reminds me of something my Grandmother would have spent a fortune on at some dusty old shop and brought home to display proudly. Can't wait to see what's next!

The paint job really brought it all together. Aces!

Is it odd that I want to see Orks in firecoats climbing on that Fire Engine?

Excellent work (as always) Cam.

Great work Camkierhi.

Cheers,

CB

I concur, it needs orks in fire proof gear .

Seeing yours made me think of the model poppy used to have in his office , good work .

Wow... that looks great Cam!

there is literally no reason to might assume to stumble over this gem in a museum...

Thats looking pretty awesome,

Thank you all so much for the wonderful comments.

I might think about basing it, but not sure.

I had a Birthday and got very lucky..


And also got a trip to the hardware store in and picked these..


From which I will be making some barrels, and probably cast them up.

Thanks for looking in.

Good to see this one finished - i like the comparison shot; the number plates are conspicuously absent on the other model
It's another welcome break from the 'science-fantasy' theme we all crave/live/sustain

Although that orky land-skiff-thing is still fething epic whatever the weather.

Congratulations on outrunning death for another year .

Dog-boys and goblin squig rider nice.

Neat idea and a very good eye, Sir! They look promising!

Those connectors do look like fuel drums

Thank you all so much, really appreciate it.

So something different....
Got this lot over the last few months.



So I ripped them to bits and removed the paint.



Thats soapy water..

And a bit of heat and dremel action, and....



And then a lick of new paint...



And then they are now in a box which will be on it's way to some unfortunate soul soon. I don't really have the parts for modding them and I know the new owner will enjoy tinkering with them, just fancied having a go.

Thanks for looking in.

Those... look like crap In the best possible way The truck back right is a favour HW of mine, but that front and centre piece of junk is pretty amazing too. Weird question - did you stick them back together, or are the wheelbases still loose? Just thinking about interior/wheel options...

Still loose. So can be worked on if wanted.

Camkierhi wrote:Still loose. So can be worked on if wanted.

Ya dancer

Cam, you did a really great job on those weathered cars. Feels like out of a Fallout video game. Do you think something should be done with the hubcaps on the wheels?

Thanks folks.

So bit of a funny day, but sat down couple hours ago and decided to play with something I have wanted to play with for some time. (this is your fault Heretic Tom, you did a Chaos Ogryn, got me thinking.)

Bought this for couple pound in Home Bargains.


And some size comparison.




And after the surgery..





Please feel free to comment, would like to know what you think.

Thank you for looking.

spooky how you converted the airfex dude to an ogryn... even tho i read the opening i really had to look closley to see what you really did...good mixture of orky bitz . what did you use for the head tho?...almost looks like a shoulder ???

Solid conversion!

Camkierhi,

Now that is not a conversion I would even have considered.

Cheers,

CB

I'll gladly take credit for your genius, just this once Looks awesome Cam!!

Fire engine is most excellent. Color me very, very impressed.

1:32 figures are ~54mm scale? Quick back of the envelope calculations say yes. A nice scale for painting.

The cars turned out well. Unsurprisingly.

Sweet. Nicely done Cam.

Great work on the fire engine.

Nice battered look to the cars.
And conversion looks the part.

Thanks folks, appreciate it.

Did a couple more conversions.


And a quick size comparison.


And that's 3 Ogryn in hazardous environment gear!






Appreciate your thoughts folks, thanks for looking in.

They look rad, I noticed that chaos Ogryn always seem to have their faces covered in the lore so these seriously look spot on. The poses really reflect that "too dumb to be scared" attitude Ogryn are known for too, they look anxious to get into the thick of it.

I love how their hazard suits don’t have sleeves, cause you know....ogres don’t care.

Great job, very nicely done.

so can make ogryn from 1/32 scale soldier figs, cool conversion work Cam!

Thank you folks, really appreciate it.

So been struggling to fit stuff in. Finally got some bits started for selling on Etsy More to follow later on. I will be back here with a couple projects in the pipe line. And also I have a commission on, they like the fire engine so more to do for those guys.

back soon promise.

Good job, Cam'. I'll tweet your shop link out which may give you a few more views (although I tweet something from my shop everyday and haven't sold anything for a while).

I'd probably add more detail to your listings.
I usually put something "in universe" about it, maybe something about it's construction, what it can be used for and all the features it has, then dimensions; the photos are good to have, but numbers are more detail. I just give maximum values for length, width, height and weight. I also have postage and packaging information on the end of each listing.

You can have a look at my listings to see what I mean.
Maybe my descriptions are too long for anyone to bother reading, I dunno, but they can't say I didn't inform them.

Good luck.

I see you've favourited my shop, I haven't seen the notification for that. Thanks. I'll return the favour next time I log in.

That firetruck build is absolutely amazing...well done!

I also speed stalked the last year's worth of stuff that I missed haha. Lots and lots of cool things

Nice job on the Ogryn conversions and painting Camkierhi.

Cheers,

CB

Thanks folks.

@ Doc, ta bud will look at it soon.
@ TW Welcome home bud, great to see you about.
@ Cap, Thanks bud.

Quick bit of terrain, tank trap/barrier.




Thank you for looking. More soon-ish.

Corking. Simple and effective

Thanks Cam.

Just a suggestion or two for the etsy shop - I've had much better luck there and on ebay when I use a backdrop. I started with a sheet then ended up doing some gradient backgrounds in different tones. Really makes the thumbnail pop.

I second adding more detail. Hype the "custom pieces for good prices" and any nice details like solid MDF base that wont warp or sealed with a matte varnish or whatever applies to you.

Good luck!

Camkierhi,

Nice terrain...is it made from cork?

Cheers,

CB

Thanks folks.

@ TW, all duelly noted and will address shortly. Thank you for the input sir, really helpful. All advise gratefully received.
@ CB, no bud, it is my resin "sprue" parts, stuck to a bit of board and a quick and dirty texture with sand and a quick and dirty paint job.

Now I must apologise for the lack of updates, been a tad busy IRL, and also the Fire Engine went down quite well........"Mass" production begins.




Fun and games, going to have to pull my finger out. Need 10 of these by month end.

Thank you for looking in, and all your comments are most gratefully received. I will be getting back to some normality soon I hope.

That's awesome news about the fire truck! I'm glad people are recognizing your talent. Good luck getting them done.

I see a lot of red trukks coming

Amazing stuff as usual. I like how the poses of the Ogryns when lined up make them look like a stop-motion of a single figure as he takes off running.

Stacks o stuff good on you sunshine

That’s a load of trukks to make

So an assembly line of firetrucks...good luck on having 10 for the end of the month.

Cheers,

CB

Ambitious with the trucks. I do like ambitious.

Carry on.

Ah, those little cars turned out nicely too.
