What a gem!

Thanks for the feedback, been doing some other things for a bit, but now feeling decidedly orky, going to be doing an entry for the latest LoER comp. Link in sig.

So where to start....

Well I need a base....



And then as the theme is Noise thought I might start with.....


More progress shortly.

Noisy drums! very Orky!

OOOh MAN! Great Idea!

Thunder drums.. dun ta dah!

Well having had a tiny tot tantrum on my other blog, best give you something here to chew on....



Thanks for looking and thank you guys for the comments, very much appreciated, and yep, drums, hopefully lots of drums.

Hmmmm buildings!

More along the lines of a stage, or possibly a very big waaagh tower/ converted ruin.

It is making me think of making some buildings after the sound fence defense tower for the noise pollution contest.

I don't think that those are drums... I'm thinking something a bit more... electric.

Cool drums dude.

EDC

Nice marbling effect on the building.. How'd you do that?

Most people's idea of a "base" is a flat surface, a few rocks, and part of a building...
Cam's idea of a "base" is a 3+ story building...

Good start, Cam'.

*chuckle* I half expect Cam to stick an ork boy on top of there as "the figure". He's such an over-achiever...

Damn..How DID you do that marble?

No, the whole piece is for the Olier Grot to go with the Big Mek. You should see what the Big Mek is based on. #wholewreckedTitan

Thanks all, really means a lot to me.

OK so, Solar and Dave, there is no paint on this yet, not sure if you just mean the modelling, in which case here you go...



It is Foam core.


Remove one side of the paper..


Carve a little with a knife...


Take a pointy object and scratch in some cracks..


A very brief flash of heat...


Glue it in place. I have advised many times about the dangers of heat and flames and plastics, do not do it unless very comfortable with your environment. But this is very much a nano second of a flash of flame at the foam. Added benefit it will not melt when I spray it.

Also got this for £4 at Home Bargains (equivalent to dollar store I guess)..


Nice little organiser...


Oh and did a few of the bits for the "base"...


Thanks for looking in.

Again, WARNING I am an idiot who puts live flames to polystyrene in my house, be a more responsible adult than me and do anything like that outside. Or not at all. Probably best. But it is how I do it I am afraid.

Stage is looking set, just missing the wires and cables a rock band uses so much. Any chance of fireworks set up?

I WAS right... more electric! Keep at it!

Thanks.. the effect is cool. The way it was photographed it looked just like marbling.

right! The angle of light reflection in that pic looked like marble striations. LOVE those big Orky amps!

Thanks all,

Now for some interior work...



Staging to expand the floor space..



And the some of the speakers...



Thanks for looking in, more soon.

Liking the rust, the wooden floor in the building, and the grates on the speakers really set them off.

wow you really made this 'PoP' in such a short time. Agreed the rust was done masterfully.

Haha this is shaping up quite well!

Oh wow. afraid my entry to the noise making terrain is gonna be simple, and not as showy as some of the others

Looking good, like the rust! How did you do it?

Yes the rust is fantastic

Thank you all,

Think I will do a tut on my rust methods, for now, a little progress...............





Thanks for stopping by.
