Surely that's cats, Shas? Although lizards aren't fussy eaters I suppose.

Ooo, nice load o' stuff, Cam'. Good way to reboot the hobby mojo.

Oh having had pet meat eating lizards like Monitors and Tegus, they do like them some mousey meat! So I see the fate of defeated Skaven by Lizardmen as post battle rations.

lol grats!!!

More Skaven love

The Great Horned Rat Approves ^_^

Ohmagerdz. Cam doing Skaven? SKAVEN !?

Heck yeah.

Queue man getting a chair and this gun be gud gif.

Apologies in advance here, this is what I was working on before my prezzies arrived, on to ratty things next i think.

Hate this sculpt.....don't get me wrong nothing really wrong with it except the face, which has driven me nuts.






Like this one...





Together..


In Progress...



Thanks for looking in....

Nicely done.

Reminded me I always wanted that Sedition Wars Terrain set. I'm sure Amazon would thank you for that if they could.

Nice work on those SW heroes. I have always liked the models, even if the game never took off.

Congratulations Cam, a well deserved victory!

Grats! There were some really good entries this time so be proud to be the top of the heap

Good work on the SW dudes, I need to work on mine sometime. I really like Vade (the doctor right, isn't that the name? last name maybe?) but the boss lady is kinda meh. Maybe some armswaps? Nice paintwork regardless

Congrats Cam

Also that guys a big un

Great job on he sedition wars minis and scenery.

Cognates on winning the comp too

Thank you all.

Well not much of an update but here you go....

Base colours on Skaven.



And I have no idea what I am doing with this.....



More soon enough I hope, thanks for looking in..

i like the mordheim skaven kit and am hoping to emulate it with the newer skaven infantry at some point, interested to see how they look when finished

Rat ogre for the win. You could have him pulling a sled/ screaming bell.

what's wrong with the face?! I mean, aside from it looking like Elrond got some serious shootas there?

they all look good, can't wait to see more of your Skaven!!

wow....it seems your new skaven army has brought you your hobby mojo back... i am actually really envious about your sculpting skills...that giant rat man looks awesome...i would only lengthen the feet a bit... the hands and arms are an amazing piece of work mister...


also...congratz...mate... well deserved win for the LoER terrain comp...fully justified win! your piece had it all...with icing and sprinkles! there wasn´t room for doubt for that win^^

Oh man! Your rat problem is getting out of hand!

Pretty soon we'll have to just nuke the site from orbit to get rid of the infestation.

Its the only way to be sure.

Had to watch that the other day, need a fix once in a while (every about 6 months) all the xenos floating about dakka don't help.

OK sorry no update, but a shout out.

Please check out this round of the League of Extraordinary Riveters Terrain competition. Mine to run this round.

Do I get special consideration if I join?

I always consider you special WP.

OK slight deviation hope you don't mind...

Shipping containers, plenty of games out there with these as scatter, and they can easily be used for so many systems, I am sure someone out there is producing these nice and cheap anyway, and Vik beat me to the punch the other day making some excellent containers, quickly and easily. However, here is the Camkierhi method.......

Made some parts, just scratches in sintra board mostly, but was not 100% with door end, so redid that after the fact, mistake on my part, but actually not too bad..


Made up the container..added a little more detail, was not going for big depth of detail on this one...


Made up a mould, first made the inside simply filled the inner void with silicone, did bulk this out with old moulds cut up into little pieces, so not as inefficient as it looks. Then made a box from foam core and hot glue and made the exterior mould by hot glueing the model to the bottom.

When placed together....note the paper clips used to "float" the inner.

After I had cast one up was not brilliantly happy with the doors, so as seen above made a PC door section and made a mould..


So end results...



Door comparison...


And they are hollow...


I will get one painted up later, but what do you think.

I'll take 2!

Produce these in large numbers and sell them via eBay, you'll earn yourself a neat new income...reasonable priced containers are seldom seen in the web...I really like the details you did. Especially the doors look way better than my own version. I bet your way is quicker too...and that floating bit is a genius of an idea! Really looking forward to see these hitting paint...for comparison I will soon be able to show my first five containers too

Those containers really so look awesome. Brilliant work dude.

EDC

Yeah Cam, I think you're onto something there.... might be something you can use to fund your hobby activities.

Oh wow, very cool.

Never too many shipping containers, if they don't fit, you just need a bigger shipping container yard board

Rat stuff looking grand

Cam is growing from simpler scratch builds, to sculpting and now his own casting production! Man you have grown your range of stuff, and I like the Rat-God model!

Well thank you guys, I think I might just sell these, once I get a few kinks out, lets see what you think....








Here they are at the rusty stage...


And size comparison shots, please excuse the really terribly painted rhino...




Would like your thoughts, is this something people would want, are they good enough as is, I mean is it reasonable to expect people to do a little patching, and thinking of something like £5 + postage, is that too much?

Thanks for looking peeps, see you soon. Got some rats to paint I think.

Those have come out brillaintly Cam - really top job

Five pounds I think is reasonable...don't know where you stand with materials costs...how many will you be able to chuck out of one mold till it gives in? That should determine the price tag. I think they're perfect for something not done by 3D design...I would produce a first batch of ...say twenty of them pretties and test the market...maybe go for 3,50£ to really get the crowd itchy for them and afterwards raise the price to fully get them on a profitable income level. My only head scratching item is the beefy rail on the top...was the height and thickness needed? If not, there I see future tweaking possible...other than that...make a million copies and earn yourself a fortune with these...!

And I like your spraying letters and the weathering!
