Very nice terrain and especially smart built! Quite impressed with the details on the tanks!

Awesome work Cam, stonework looks amazing and liking those scratch vehicles.

Holy moly... Time to start casting all this stuff up on an industrial scale - you could make a fortune with those multi-option tanks alone...

Wow, those look great Cam!

Nice looking conversions there mate. I like to see Noodles stuff being used. Anyone know where he went ?

Turrets look great.

Thank you all for the kind words, very much appreciated.

Still going at these tanks.....




Cast up some turrets...


Started in on the command tank detailing....





Bought this stuff a while ago at Home Bargains, very cheap, it's the stufff my daughter was messing about with, well I am doing a scenic base for these tanks for between battles (most of their lives) and thought I would give this stuff a go...

Air drying in about 3-4 hours. spread a layer out on the board and made a stamp to do cobbles with...

Result is waiting on painting yet but I am happy enough....


Thank you for looking and any comments really are appreciated.

The tank detailing, especially the interior is nuts and the stamp is interesting. Kids' craft clay is great, that should be really effective.

Tanks looking good! cobbled roads, what next?

Thank you.

Added a few more details and started slapping some paint around.



Body base coat...


Started in on bits and pieces...


Thanks for looking, Questions and C&C welcome.

I just love the job you did detailing the inside of that tank. Excellent work my friend.

The modular overpass stuff is great, but scratch building and casting your own line of tanks is next level. I've never been that ambitious.

Wow really brought those models alive, love the big exhausts.

Thanks peeps, bit more done, still a fair bit to go though.


Still got to add detailing to the screens and a lot of little bits to highlight and try to bring out.

Base is coming on a little too, like how it turned out, the modelling clay is OK it did crack a little bu that is to my advantage here.


And the tanks all still come to bits so multiple optioons available.


Thanks for looking, better get back to it.

The tanks are looking great. I especially like the detailed interior.

The tanks look good.

How durable is that kid's clay? That stamp to make the cobbles is something I need to try. Also, how did you make the stamp? I know; I know. I ask too many questions.

Some cool scratch building there, also like the terrain, it gave me a Dark Souls feel

Mind = Blown...

You're rivalling KlausnotSanta with this work. Amazing. Not sure why I'm amazed though as we come to expect this level of excellence from you...

And follow the yellow brick road, or is it green, pink, err, orange, rr, red... Great idea though and best part is it's cheap (I presume), simple, yet effective... Inspirational stuff for everyone watching

Superb detail on the tanks dude

Blimes! Good work on those tanks Cam!

Dem tanks.
Looking forward to seeing how the clay brick road turns out.

Liking the tanks matey, Command tank is spot on !

Sorry for delay in update, been a bit of a week.

Thank you all for the kind words.

@ Ruglud, the clay turned out great, each one of the colour patches is 1 of the 12 packs you get in the set, think it may have been £4 ish so you get a fair bit, it models easily takes paint well, once cured it is a bit flexible, but used in the right spot it is brilliant. Klaus is an inspiration, I would aspire to be half as good.

@ Red, clay is durable enough, the flexibility helps I think. The stamp was made from a small chunk of 5mm thick Sintra PVC, stuff used by sign people. You could use any hard block. The pattern was made with a Dremel, just plunged in a milling bit, think it is maybe 3mm across. Worked really well.

I have been working on some alternative guns, but no picks yet,however I did start some work on the base......


Thank you all for looking in and I really appreciate your comments.

Don't wait for applause, carry on...

Love your tank work! And that display base looks very good.
My only suggestion to improvement would be to make two to three of these stamps...to eliminate any repetitive pattern making...the stupid eye sees these at the slightest glance...(I know...I don't show up for ages, lest show something done myself and then giving out non humble suggestions...)

I get what Vik is saying, but isn't this meant to be a repeated pattern with he block work - herringbone right? Maybe some damaged / worn areas or weeds growing through would help though? And / or some colour variation?

Thanks guys, agree I need to put in a bit more effort, but your right Ruglud, it is meant to be herringbone, so a repeating pattern, and it is meant to be a rough courtyard, not very "perfect". I am going to perfect this for a future build with a more impressive establishment, but this old farm croft will do with this. Done a bit more and obviously great minds and all that gents, started messing about with patches, also started adding some veggies....



Arty shot...


Thanks for looking in, will get some pics up soon of some gun options I have also been working on, got an itch for something Orky coming on so we will see what happens, need to finish these tanks up first.

Yep, that'll do it - carry on

Very nice Cam.

I better put my foot in my mouth, my lack of flooring skills shows through
