Thanks. Update, coming down.






Thoughts?

So, this works for so many games
you can use fallout minis
Bolt action
40k
zombies
long list Cam!

Beautiful... in a really broken-down kind of way!

Cam! That looks super, I knew we had to have faith. It looks so filthy...so convincing.

And Dr.h good catch, was about to do the quote too

Looks like my first apartment. Kidding. Now I suspect some work on the wooden floor, and a few interior, hmm, furnishings?

Good stuff. Slums tables are popular in many gaming systems, so this could go anywhere and fit right in.

Thanks Dr.H

Really awesome Cam ' agree with Red looks a little empty

Thank you gentlepeeps.

Indeed furniture and fillings is on it's way, I am trying to make it usable for different formats, Although it will have a "dio" style set up for the competition, most of the 40k styling will be removable, so it can be used for other games, I hope one day to be able to play.

oops nearly forgot.

Be it ever so crumbled singed, there's no place like home All it needs is a spitted squig for roasting.

Getting a lot of use from that Chef's torch I note. I'll have to get one myself.

Don't forget the welcome mat either

More furniture WIP.

Thanks Red. This is going to be an Orky scene so yeah, ramshackle, and singed. And torch is a very good but dangerous bit of kit.

Pics.....Thoughts please.

It has that "Lived in hovel" look!

I love it! But it needs something on the shelves... and perhaps something that an ork would consider "art" on a wall.

I think the grottiest nastiest most putrid thing about that pic is the Pooh on the wall you can see *shudder*

At nerdy...my thoughts exactly...

Also, the shelves should contain either food or dakka...

That looks... lovely...

The stairs in particular look fairly dangerous.

It's really cool. I have ideas but can't contribute

You got in there before me NF. Pooh Pooh.

You could always do a selection of scale terrain pieces on the shelves...

Don't forget small collections of litter and rubble in corners etc...

Cookbooks on the shelf. A series. Volume One "To Serve Man". Volume Two ???

The pooh on the wall. Normally it would be a pin-up poster on the wall, no? Perhaps it still is. What really hets up an orc anyway, apart from killy stuff?

Some matching Piglet curtains--suitably shredded and soiled of course-- for the windows.

The water stained floor is a nice detail. Will there be roach-squigs?

Thank you

Update.

Loving some of the ideas. Will be stealing some.

So here's some more bit's and bob's.


Shelves.

Boxes of .............Rivets.

Paint...


Thank you so much for your thoughts so far, keep it coming.

So this will auto on me, but here are the shelves all together.

No auto append

tins of paint

Really awesome shelf full of stuff!

Thank you OMN. Not as classy as yours mind you.

So shot of as it stands, still wip, got so much I want to do!



Thanks for looking.

That... is fantastic Cam! Wow!

Thanks Gits.

Thoughts I would post some more.

Fire drum, and boots.



And thought I would add a couple windows.



And for the bathroom...



Thanks for looking, thoughts welcome.

This is some fantastic stuff! I especially love the rubber duckie and peeling plaster and exposed bricks. MOAR FILTH! MOAR GRIME! Awesome!

Nice. Liking the NME poster
Nice window frames (maybe a partial one in another window?)
Very impressive stained glass window too.

The wood floor looks really clean for a total ruin exposed to the elements. But I like the weathering effect on the walls. The blue still looks a little too bright and cheery in my opinion, but overall the piece is coming together quite nicely.

The boots are great. How did you make the stained glass window? And did the boots come from a kit or did you scratch build them?

Stained glass. FTW, sir.

The fire looks not so fiery. Is it the lighting?

How about muddy boot prints on the floor?

I think it could use some fallout3 texturing. Needs moar smashed flat cellphones and ridiculous amounts of newspapers (that somehow survived for years in the open) plastered on the floor

Really, really cool stuff btw

Help!!

@ Dave Thank you sir.

@Dr H. Thanks and will do.

@ Warboss, Thank you, yes indeed far too clean but hopefully some work on that now. The boots are cut off the bottom of a spare pair of ork legs and drilled the tops out. The window is an old cd case cut to size, then very thin styrene rod glued on one side. Then use washes, or inks to colour it up.

@ Red. thank you. Indeed more below on the fire. And see below for your boot prints.

@ Grim, great idea, I will add some paper floating about.

Well I have a problem....

I can't paint for toffee's. Trying for OSL and fire effect on the barrel and surrounding area, Have a look and tell me where I am going wrong, do I need to lighten things up? Also should I drybrush my walls to highlight the detailing?

Pics.....daylight shots for a chance to see the true colours.






Your thoughts are very much appreciated.

Hey Camkiehri,
I hink you have a good start.
Some more dark washes to make the non-lit areas darker, probably some debris (small chunks of rock, little stones, tiny pieces of wood) on the floor first.
The buring can is already a good start.
Colorwise you can add some lighter parts. I usually start with red gore, then blood red, then a 1:1 mix of Orange and red, then orange, then 1:1 yellow and Orange, then golden yellow, then sunburst yellow, and finally for the lightest areas a 1:1 mix white and yellow - and I try to do these wet-in-wet (color not completely dry) then the transitions get a but smoother.
This way you have some bright colors at the hottest/brightest spots.
I hope this helps
Klaus
