I present my League comp entry


The scratchbuilt Corvega





And Billboard

I have a few days before the deadline if anyone has any more ideas.

That looks really good

Can't fault it anywhere, but one thing you could add would be some discolouration to the tarmac where the car is sitting. Will make it look like it has been sitting in one place, decaying, for a very long time.

That looks great. I really like the gangster diorama and I look forward to the Cylon diorama.

And Bag End.

Thanks! The Car is loose, it needs more post-apocalyptic dirt and debris, scatter, rubble, etc.

Thanks Val, funny you mention that, while the lights were still set up, I shot pictures of the Gangster and Cylon

if i could add one idea... add blood... i saw in this thread:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/510214.page


someone actually making a hand shaped brush...can you believe it? for those nasty marks of gore and spatter effects... IF you want to go down that line of course... but lets face it... FO3 is rather gory in parts... all that raider crimes...

Haha Vik..they sell these little clear resin boots on pegs in 1/35 scale, boot prints for every army boot from every country from every war. They sell them JUST for putting the correct muddy boot prints on tanks and stuff.
Gangster Dio pics:

really? wow...cool idea... for a good looking and convincing dio i think that is a valuable tool then...

the B/W pic (tho it is lacking your fine color work there...) is my favorite for capturing the marlow feel...

one thing tho... in the second pic... the right eye looks a bit too joker like... lots of shadow there...is that due to lighting or painting?

I like the gangster's floor, really heavily varnished "that's gonna last for years" look to it.
and the shelving looks really well used.

He's a thug, thugs get black eyes
You think his black eye is bad, you should see what that fight did to his Twenty-Dollar suit!

he needs to be stiched up then

You mean you can't just sleep and heal broken limbs? Is he out of stimpaks?

probably... and if sleeping doens´t help for healing broken limbs...then:

That billboard is …... well just ……… you know …………… what a ………. I am lost for words the ground work needs adding to though looks to clean in comparison.

Add some rubble a oil drum (you always have an oil drum) some other crap maybe a chunk out of the road as well

LOL@ Vik

Honestly, I'm completely out of barrels/drums! LOL

Thanks tho LDD!

Wow, Page 25, and I've already gone off in 3 completely different directions

I am absolutely in awe... you seem to master really everything. Wow...

Yet you asked for ideas to get even better. So I humbly offer this: 1. on the billboard: bullet holes. Not too much, just lets say one magazine full of stupid-idiot-wants-fun pumped into the board. 2. on the gangsta diorama: stacks of paper sheets in the desk and cupboard files, in between bundles of greenbacks, a couple of pencils, an ink vat with a pen, a contemporary typewriter, also a bottle of moonshine (hidden), wet rings from the bottle and glasses on the desk, plus an ashtray (overcrowded with stumps). Also a pack of ammo in that drawer. I want to see your magic making it happen, so that I can once more drop my jaw...

Naw, no master, this is all experimental. Bullet holes are a good idea. I know the gangster dio could always use more, but I'd like to be done with it for now. It was just the furniture kit review that got out of hand

The Cylon seems to have gone all Michael Jackson in the top picture

Sorry I've not been on much, but damn have you been busy! Love what you've done as always, especially the little details on the fallout stuff like the broken glass- top notch!

Billboard = Sweeeeet

All I have right now......

Love the diroma! But whats this legue comp?

Awesome job Man those all look really really good.

The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller

Thanks Shrike! It's harder than you might think to cut and glue little jagged edges of clear plastic and make it look like random shards.

Sweet! Gangster scene done! Fallout-3 scene done! Cylon centurion, seems missing his eye

Might be a bit more than that Vik.

No he just needs his nuts tightening
