Wow!! You are a Pro my friend!! I've a lot to learn from you....I'll keep my eyes on your project, maybe I can steal some ideas

Keep up the hard work

**glomscient**

My orks are definitely looting that awesome vending machine idea! Why orks? Who else would build a vending machine in a jungle?

It won't be as good as yours, of course... oh well; might as well go for something that a mortal can achieve.

Actually, it would probably work for this ork vehicle dealership that I am working on...

**monkeytroll**

Ahh, now that is a thing of beauty

Lovely weathering, finishes it off perfectly, and it looks so good sitting in the hive

glomscient - ork vehicle dealership you say?

Yes, it's in my gallery: in da ork konvoy. Glad to see you approve

I'm actually thinking of changing the living quarters into a showroom of sorts.
Now, let's get back to the awesomeness of this thread. Sorry for the shameless plug.

LOL- Thanks Weety! I'm glad you dig it!
I Especially appreciate the comment from Gerner- just-registered former lurker? Thank you for stopping by and commenting man! You are always welcome
As for what is next? -I still have 2 buildings and several walkways to paint, then I will be needing to build a few more walkways.

Some other thoughts bouncing around my head unorganized and unplanned like a cacaphony of pong pixels....
slag heap/mineral outcrop (mining)
Holestead (nutrious slime farming)
water still
"wildsnake" and/or "second best" liquor still
Drinking hole
archaeotech
Old Ruins

Oh, and of course 4 more gangs to paint

Basically, any of the territories you can roll between games. I thought that might be a cool way of making a bonus objective during a game too. If the game is played on a tableincluding one of these features, it is aquired by the winning gang in addition to what they can roll. These could be a great income booster in a campaign, although it will probably backfire against me playing..knowing my luck it will just buy my opponent more hated flamers

OMG! I didn't drill that Ganger's lasgun!!

i think the archeotech idea is the one that atm intrigues me the most...i remember seeing a competition on terragenesis...that has so much potential...and for scratchbuilding this could be a treue eyeopener...

**dsteingass**

Yeah? you think Vik?
It could be anything! Any ancient technology or machinery...

But what?

Thanks Zebra! I learn a lot from your thread too, thanks bud!

Glom, thanks! steal away.. But send me a link or pic man! Can you convert a shady Ork car-dealer in a plaid suit and long stogey?

Monkey, Thanks! I am sort of amazed at myself for at least subconsciously keeping the pieces fit together. Usually, my plans go awry and ADD takes over

**monkeytroll**

A '74 mustang, complete with 8-track

**dsteingass**

Hey, the 70 Olds 442 worked perfectly in Demolition man

**Viktor von Domm**

what about some old rocket launching facility? with all those big screens and stuff... a big and of course brutally looted launching pad...all crumbled and torn apart by scavangers... i see lots of ripped and torn cables...i mean that is what evry major video game has as a setting^^...

or...

the frankenstein lab...some hideous creatures long forgotten inside their glass tombs...lots of racks and tables with testing tubes and big levers for the final juicing up of new built monsters^^...

or...

aynthing alienlooking...really an old and destroyed webway of the eldars

or...

how about some cargo cult flying machine in the image of a flying brick?...

or...how about something from the movie the "fly" ? like the transporter room...?

well i seem to have spent my gunpowder for now...more after some reactions of yours^^

**monkeytroll**

lol

I don't recall Snipes and Stallone sleeping for 38 millienia

**dsteingass**

That's true monkey! very true!

Vik- I like the rocket site and lab ideas on their own, but rockets are not likeley, remember where we are in the hive, the underhive.

20 miles wide at the current ground level, the current ground level is all industrial sludge solidified, and dust in an unbreathable cloud cover.

**Viktor von Domm**

oh....well....i see your point...kind of...but...ok...^^

hmmm...archeotech...well actually it can be everything...provide it looks like something^^ lol so if you feel one day totally creative with no real aim...instant archeotech happing^^

**dsteingass**

They have changed the fluff a bit since the original stuff from Confrontation, but This is my favorite hive art.

The outer surface of the hive is festooned with orbital defense guns.

I need to capture a microscopic piece of that on this

Oh, my mom has an old, broken grandfather clock, I bet I could tear that apart for some goodies!

**Viktor von Domm**

mate, have you seen neil 101 inquisitor tower?...

i bet a grandfather clock would provide a cool casing for a similar purpose...also the clockwork will be very useful too...

mind telling what the assembled raw materials on the far back of that gaint table are for? seems as if something really big is planned^^

Yes. Do tell.

**theunicorn**

For all you rivet-heads out there. I found these listed on eBay, they are buy it now with reasonable shipping.
$8.99 for a set of 6 bulkheads with $1.90 shipping. Bulkheads usually go for around $2-3.25 each nowadays if you are looking for a bunch now is the time.

**The Good Green**

Amazing work. Those pics of the rat skinz in your terrain are incredible. They fit right in with the old pics, as you showed in that last post of inspiration pics. The vending machine is fantastic. I love the "coin slot" section is ripped out. Also, great use of unaltered nails! Damn, they are perfect. Way to get it right on all accounts.

Your collection is shaping up quite nicely, a few dozen more buildings and I'd say you had enough

**dsteingass**

THanks! Oooh- I'd better check my funds quickly! (see below where my pennies went today) good price! Thanks Unicorn

Green, I love hearing that from you man! Thank you!

Vik and Rawson- That is the Departmento Munitorum yard where the raw supplies are gathered and sorted for construction. I never got all that styrene from the uber-drop sorted out yet

Michael's had a one-day only coupon for 25% off my entire supply drop!

Airbrush holder, extra 10' of air hose (I desperately NEEDED these), bottles, adaptors, pre-thinned paint (I have not the balls to thin my own yet until I get the feel for it)

I especially like this adapter, just shake, screw..

...Load and go!

Run two color-cups of windex and then some clean water through the airbrush, rinse the adapter, and cleanup is done.

**Viktor von Domm**

i really like seeing you getting more confident and tooled up for more airbrush action...that will bring your painting up to speed... also i think that is the real way of making terrain painted ...after all i think your main fun is in the construction...so quicker paint=back to the construction desk^^

**dsteingass**

EXACTLY Vik!!

I am making mistakes, but learning from them.
See the brighter blue run on the front support? I got a little too overzealous there

..Being able to confidently clean the airbrush makes it a tool you want to play with more

-I think that is it for me, time shall tell.

**Viktor von Domm**

so how many coats and how fast can you aply anyhow till you have a desired painted effect?

and yep...learning by doing...otherwise i would be talking to you anyways... no one showed me how to do computers, internet or painting....seems i have to learn everything on trial...same with cooking by the way... and i got quite good in that^^

**dsteingass**

I don't understand people who can't cook. Not knowing how to cook, is like not knowing how to Frack.

Well, trial mode is on over here.
Check out the funky deeeep blue the first coat is drying.

**Viktor von Domm**

in that pic i see you have used blue somehwre...it is showing on the table...but not really on the tower...last pic was better^^

guess the flash killed all the paint off...

and what is "how to frack"?

**dsteingass**

LOL vik, how to Geschlecht, maybe in your tongue

Applied some Vallejo Air Intermediate Blue

**Viktor von Domm**

now that looks smooth!

and lol...thank god i don´t get translated...and your version of that is so totally wrong...^^ you can´t use the action in the same way as the participant of said action...but i did get your meaning^^ actualy yep...i had that as an example in my mind too...but was too modest to hint on that^^ ...tho modesty is seldom my resort^^

**PDH**

vending machine

The mood shots are excellent....your hobby friends are very lucky to have such a great board to play on.

**dsteingass**

Thanks PDH! I can't wait to play a game on it...someday

Here I attempt to be more precise. This will take some getting used to, but I was giddy like a school girl when I finally found the "sweet spot" on the trigger to make smaller lines.

**Rogue Wolves**

i like the blue you chose for this one

**dsteingass**

Thanks Rogue- I just picked up that color on a whim.

Here I drybrushed with P3 Cold Steel- it's like Blued gunnmetal.

Automatically Appended Next Post:

And painted the concrete the usual concrete grey. You can really see the blue now IMO.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
I can hardly believe it myself, but I actually used the airbrush for the intermediate blue touch-up here!

I think this nice, long, productive weekend has been some sort of milestone for me hobby-wise. I am feeling pretty good about this.

**Rogue Wolves**

so far, my favorite colors you chose
