Very creative!

Next one off the workbench - I'm plundering the pet supplies section again, with an environment dome made from a hamster igloo.








Walkthrough here.

It's a home from home. A model sci-fi home made from a hamster ho...

Very nice work. I like the weathering.

Very classic sci-fi! Just the right amount of weathering too

Ball Tank is awesome!

Doing a spot of recycling this week...





Full walkthrough here.

Brilliant use of those bottles!

Last two projects are really neat, but the ball tank is great. Who doesn't like a ball tank

I can't believe it took me a second to see the paint bottles.

Or should that be,

Nice work converting those paint bottles!

(It took me even longer to see the Coat d'arms pot)

Everybody back in the pool!







Walkthrough here.

I know I saw something move. Get out! Get Out! GET OOOoo......glub glub glub.

Love the recycling project you did there.

Getting some paint on my Goliath juves... Complicated by the fact that I started this gang five or six years ago, and don't appear to have recorded what paint I used anywhere, so there's some guesswork involved.

Strong Tone wash done on the juves, so they just need some final detailing and bases (which I'll do on the whole gang at once when everyone's otherwise done). Also started work on the new heavy, and transplanted the rest of the gang onto Maelstrom's Edge bases (for arc of sight marks).

The therapeutic pool cures all kinds of skin conditions and afflictions. Just, whatever you do, do not stay in for more than thirty seconds.

Oh and when you shower off make sure you remove all of it.

The Pool is Great dude

So... here's a thing...

That is quite inspiration work!

A little more sculpting done this morning... For those not familiar with the original Necron range, they were fairly limited. I thought it would be fun to expand my 2nd ed Necrons with some of the options that were introduced with the 3rd ed codex and later. This was an attempt to create a Heavy Gauss Cannon for the original Necron Destroyer. We'll see how successful it was once I can get it printed...

Test print. It's just a fraction too large, and some unfortunate support placement left some damage on the print when I removed them, so I have adjusted the scale a tad and tweaked the supports for a second test. Not too shabby so far though, I think.

After some feedback elsewhere, I decided the cannon was just a bit too long, so shortened it up a bit. It's still long enough that its recognisably different to the regular cannon even when they're not side by side, which was my main concern with it size-wise, so I think that'll do.

Also started on some backwards-compatible rules updates...

Slight detour to the left this week, to experiment with dipping models with wood stains...




The trooper was painted in basic colours and then dipped in charcoal wood stain. The drones were just sprayed with army painter Platemetal, and then dipped in the same stain.







Tutorial here.

Getting out into nature this week, with some trees made from expanding foam and some plastic interior decorating plants...





Tutorial here.

Man I love those trees!

insaniak,

My wife would kill me if she suspected I might poach some of the plastic plants to make terrain.

Really like the Paint Bottle tower, I think that may inspire me to make a radio tower now...just need a good idea for the dish.

Cheers,

CB

Cheers, guys.

Meanwhile, throwing some dice around in the grim dimness of my carport...

Jeez- you put a couple of rusted out 1982 Ford 150's on the streets and that's my hometown!

Looks great!

The full battle report is now up here


Some army pics:

Finally getting some paint on a project started some time ago.

Love that derelict water tank. Really nice work there.
And a nice table spread all around.
