Fabulous ideas coming out already, great to see.

Trying desperately to resist jumping in!

Kicking or screaming...... preferably both..... get yourself involved my friend!

If only this had popped up 4 weeks ago I would have been allllllll over it, I did a metric ton of scenery for my table and I'm all out of creative juices. Perhaps on the next instalment?

Oh, nonsense you, get to it! seen some interesting updates on folks' blogs, do remember to cross post here also. And sing from the rooftops, whether participating or not!

Hey all, Sorry for the slow posts.... RL pretty busy just at the moment.... but in the office here myself today so managing to get some time to catch up here and get some more sketches down on paper... got6 to admit thisis one really awesome subject for the comp! SO many possibilities.. but I am 100% sticking with my Ork Themed "Greeny Todd - Ork Demon Barbor"

Inmygravenimage ........ I wonder if there will be extra wee points for a working trapdoor idea..... This may give me an enormous amount of work to do..... but who dares wins I suppose!

Functionality will always be accorded due respect

Splendid! Well then in that case I just need to now figure out how the trapdoor will be operated and how the chair will be part of it.... lucky I am in no mood for "real work" today!

Hi guys. Just checking in. Have been on trains around the country recently so no time to sit down and start making progress. Therefore my WIP shot would be blank :(

How's everyone else getting on? Any construction yet?

I'm in, I've been doing a bit of scenery and some thing like this would be neat touch...

Yyeesss.... good show! ) lets go folks... lgoing to have some WIP pics warly into next week... lets really get this comp going!

Oh all right then....

My bench looked like this...


So I cut up some of the scrap...


Stuck it back together a bit...



So come on then, bring it on.

Oh, them's fightin' words great to have you aboard buddy

So, as I said, 8 weeks left - keeping spreading the rivetters' gospel gang and show us your WIPs!

Cheers,
graven

i get to be a guest judge! as i started a new job not long ago and may be moving soon, so would not have time to compete...

glad to see Cam join in (and throw down the gauntlet, no less)...

still 8 weeks left, so if you haven't started, you still have plenty of time.

START YOUR ENGINES!

@Cam - you just brought your A game dude!!!!!! That looks brilliant already. I bow to your skills. So far I have bought these:

I figure they'll do as my floor grating.

Nice source for floor grating

Drat, any kind of dungeon/brickwork I was planning is going to look shoddy now that Cam's doing that kind of thing.. may better stick to natural cave walls!

@Grim - just because great minds think alike doesn't mean you have to do something different...your flavor is different from Cam's, even if the basic premise is the same. blatant knock-offs are an exception... i almost want to participate in this competition, as i had a fantastic idea that no one has used yet...i'll talk to Graven and see what he says about sharing ideas for people who are having a bit of trouble getting the wheels to spin.

Started my entry...will be a classic one...will share pics later, once we've seen Sherlock...empty coffin...

Awesome! Also, I am pleased as punch to say that your third and final judge is Yggdrasil!

a bit of inspiration for those of you who may need some:

TP^DC....nice source of material...

and i am finally coming to terms wiith my own idea...

won´t spill the beans as to what it will look like in the end...but it is a diorama... or rather a dio-drama^^




i built the basic structure from plywood... the tiles you see here are made from a packaging material my wife got me from her chineese food stuff she currently uses...

well....more on that hopefully tomorrow...^^

cheers, vik

Looking great all! Realy cool work... got to get me finger out!

that tiling looks awesome, Grim! what exactly is that (or what product does it come from)?

Haha that was Viktor! He just changed his avatar to also include a Beret

Is there a size limit to the piece?

my bad, Grim...

Sormwall - no size limit, AFAIK...but there are only about 8 weeks left, so keep that in mind.

I think I am just going to go for a small building. I feel like the last two contests showed that I am bad at delivering and I cannot go outside of my means.

However, I /think/ if I'm inspired enough I can knock out a small project build wise in a day or two. I'm unsure if I am going to enter because that makes me feel shoddy when I don't deliver but, I feel like I deserve a piece of terrain to keep me occupied until I get my first place.

Anyways, I don't suppose any of you are Winter World, Metro 2033, or Fallout fans eh?

i played the first two Fallout computer games and the RPG for a couple of years in college. Have also played Fallout 3 and New Vegas for about 100 hours each. but no, i'm not a fan...

Oh well, that's just a shame. Just something I am playing with to see if I can get in the mood for this competition.

I'll have to see how to fit real trapdoors in though, and I have an idea as I am kinda sure bunker doors don't count.

Good start to both of you, Cam' and Vik.

I have a feeling of where you are going, Cam'. But I'll wait and see if it does end up with the certain film franchise I'm thinking of; don't want to spoil your surprise.

That's looking a bit bathroom-like there, Vik.

Considering I sell sculpts of Fallout-inspired pieces, you could say so.

As for the vault entrance; The definition of a trapdoor that I read said that it is a hatch that is flush to the surface of a floor or ceiling. Your vault entrance could be defined as a hatch, so put it on the ground (as seen in the trailer for Fallout 4) and it could be a trapdoor.

Or, have that in a cliff-face and have a "secret" trapdoor on top of the cliff.

I've not specified a limit on size. Big or small, it about how you interpret the theme that counts...

Ahoy, After sneaky peeking at some of the entries here... and looking back at what I currently have.. I am figuring there are a few that are going to be similar in style and build to what I was originally going to do... alas... Greeny Todd will have to be shelved for another day.... but I have had another idea that I am going to get the base for tonight.... CD sized base and I recon should be about 2 weeks work.... so that's great.... I will probably be just about finished in the 8 weeks left of the comp! Updates tonight I promise! Some cracking ideas out there!
