Seeing the scope of your project and the intense detail of the bitz I retract my admonishment. But it had better be done by the end of the weekend.

Thank you all,

Have done a few bits and pieces, but for now only have a couple scale shots for you....This is the ground level....




Think I might be a bit on the small side....

Thanks for looking.

It seems the right size, but the ceiling is a bit low. Nothing to get upset about though.

The green floor with those stripes, looks like a football field... US football, and field=pitch.

Good stuff.

Amzing Stuff Cam. I like how well the Russ fits on, very precise.

Gang with garage and fancy digs, they have a vision of greater than other gangs.

That is looking like a proper factory line. I love it, man.

The speed at which your completing sections is mind blowing Cam, really looking forward to seeing it finished, by the en£ of the weekend at this rate

Very nice! Love the colour choices

Wow, Cam! This is looking really nice so far. Keep the posts coming man!

Do you have some power over space time, as you get so much done so quickly. Its looking great. I had better pull my finger out on my project.

Cam, would you do me a favor? Use your time machine to go back to the point that I lost the hobby drive you have and prevent me from losing it? - Thanks bud

Thank you all, really appreciated,

Not really got stuck in til today, finally a little progress...






Crazy nice supply drop from Skalk...


Oh and started in on some different exterior panels..


Thanks again.

everything looks fantastic...the factory is developing in an awesome way....but i have to add myself here ...it is for a full factory still too short...it´s more likely a small workshop...for orks even smaller "factories" would be ok...but IOM build suchlike as big as whole cities...in my opinion...#

the walls are stunning...looking forward to see them painted!

I have always wanted to do a factory. I am keen on seeing how you apply the parts you got.

You are the true king of rivets.

Looking promising as usual . Nice loot haul, and nice casts as well!

Thank you all.

@Vik, You know you are right, going to have to make it bigger.

So a few little details sorted...



Made some shelving with stock..



And added a lift...


For access to the upper levels as they are built..


Tested to see how it handles weight....


So getting there..


twinner is sending some tank parts for the build, so between that and the parts from Skalk I am sitting pretty on this project. Remember This is only one building of the 4-8 "buildings" I will make for this. Might have to expand this a bit , it will definitely get a secon level, with windows and obviously at least a walkway around. Thinking of adding an Administratum Office above that. All will be modular so can be broken down, used as parts or together. Should be high enough to hide a Warhound, but you could probably get a couple thousand points of troops inside this monster., should be gangway through the centre for a Landraider. ( or 3) to go through. Plan is to make at least another one of these types of building with supporting buildings such as fuel dumps etc. Maybe do a few chaos ruins so they can flavor it up.

Anyways, thoughts as always appreciated. Thank you for looking.

"A working lift, in 28mm scale- no big deal really, just knocked it out between breakfast and elevensies..." Holy cow that's awesome! Is it magnetized? How'd you manage it?

The whole factory looks great and the little 'Cam' details are just making it perfect!

Your factory and its new additions are looking great as usual, I absolutely love that shelf of supplies

It’s weird. When you first started it I thought that’s kinda cool. Now that you are getting further along with the details it’s awesome. The shelf you just added give so much depth and character. Can’t wait to see what more you add.

I'll tell you something, it's a damn sight tidier than my garage
Shelves are ace, perfect wee touch.

That shop interior is fantastic Cam!

amazing (uh-mey-zing)

adjective
1.causing great surprise or sudden wonder.

verb (used with object), amazed, amazing.
1.to overwhelm with surprise or sudden wonder; astonish greatly.


You are an amazing modeler. I'll never not be impressed at the speed you build something out of random stuff and the depth of detail you apply. You didn't waste any time applying those bitz. I had dozens of ideas for them over the years and did nothing. You've had them 3 days and they are all over the model you're building. I really want to send you an old shoe, a plastic soda bottle, and a 2 ft length of ruined garden hose just to see what you would do with it.

Nice, but... yes, a but... I don't think that I have ever seen 55 gal. drums placed on a shelf. It seems a bit out of place.

Cam lives in the land of Metrics so it would be a 55 liter drum, which roughly equals 14.5 US gallons.

Gentlemen, I thought everyone knew, any steel drum, only spends the first one maybe two months of its life with any proper product in it, these obviously are placed on the shelves to hold nuts and bolts on an Imperial scale.

And talking of Imperial, you see I firmly believe in having an open approach to such things, so I have no quibbles with using the metric system when I have to, but any true subject of the British Empire uses Imperial measurement. 55 Gallons will be fine, as will 6'1" tall and 20 stone, and a pound of Liquorice and 2x4 timber, thank you.

LOL thanks gebts, making me happy.

Supply drop...


Now production can really start....


Messed about a bit today, made a moldline removal tool. Always fancied one to see what they are like from GW, but bloody hell the price, so got an old kitchen knife, could have bought a new one for £1. and attacked it with my not-dremel....



And got an old blunt razor saw blade and sharpened it up and made a handle ...turns out it is brilliant at cutting foam core in nice square straight lines...




OK back at it....thanks for looking in.

Great progress, Cam'. Looking like a proper factory floor there.

What is the difference between a mould line removal tool, and a razor blade?

About three dollars!

Love the hand tools. Have a soft spot in my heard for them.
