Definitely going to keep my eye out for disused lamp stands like that, ideal for something I plan to make in the future...
But lamp isn't sprue? I'm confused.
Ha ha. There are some things that are easier to do with something other than sprue.
I'm eagerly awaiting the final flurry of entrants. Come on guys you can do it, one last push.

We refuse to take sides in this anymore. And we refuse to let you turn us against one another. We know who we are now, we can find our own way between order and chaos...
It's over because we've decided it's over. Now get the hell out of our galaxy! Both of you.

Afraid I haven't made it back to my comp entry for more paint touch ups. I've been too distracted by mold making and having my brain in the sewer. So my entry will have to Stay on its merits.
just realized my mind went from the toilet to he sewer. Well at least it's not clogged.

Right, had some terrible news tonight and it's put me right off, I pretty much want to chuck the thing out. I won't of course, I'll see if I can force myself to slap down some paint but honestly the piece has been tainted by a bad taste in my mouth so it's unlikely. Good luck everyone and thank you for hosting Brian, the theme really gave me a new perspective.
Hope you continue your pieces at a later date, those of you that have dropped out.
Good luck to everyone still in the competition.
and hope it's not something serious Casey.

Theme: In every game we play in the fluff tells us of either a master race or an ancient civilization long since past or those that have fallen. The Piece is based on the statue of liberty. It represents what could have been a massive statue buried or severed in some uprising or conflict.
I plan a similar type theme with my future terrain. More industrial, more mechanical seemingly buried under the rubble of previous great works or remnants of industry. Though this probably was some great work or perhaps some industrial inspiring Art in the past it is just now a frame, shoddily maintained and repaired by people long since forgotten. With little work it could be used as a alter, in either fantasy or sci –fi themes. The bottom could be sunken or laid on its side to provide additional terrain opportunities.
Like my pre- picture indicated there is only 2 materials used in the construction; sprue and GW cardboard boxes (tops). It used superglue, white glue and paint to assemble and cover. All the rivets are small cardboard squares. There are over 400 rivets. The base is covered in small rocks. Its overall base is less than 4.5 inches on a side (diameter of a CD). I’ve included a figure to reference it’s overall height. ( its actually my forearm and hand size.)
This Technique could be used to form almost any shape. Cardboard is easily plyable when wet.
Thanks, and hopefully enjoy!

As for my entry, my servo skulls have returned with valuable data!
May I present the absolutely 100% recycled terrain piece "Tank DM-4"
What could be inside? What could DM-4 possibly mean?
Is it some long-lost chemical weapon? A source of fuel? Or perhaps the last remaining supply of the fabled Devlan Mud Wash!?
I leave you to ponder the answers to these questions with a quick FW-esque photochop featuring Chief Epistolary Cyraxes leading his Marines Errant squad through the ruins:
