Thanks Gwyn

Should be perfect for your old school Necromunda minis!

Thanks Guardling

Thank you Hotzenplotz and go for taking apart that printer...just make certain you do it over newspaper...ink in the carpet is very, very bad.

Absolutely fantastic scenery, exalted.

Thanks Olthannon, half the fun is in the planning...acquiring.

Thank you Wirecat.

The term "granny grating" is a long running joke name for of a kind of plastic mesh available from needlework and sewing shops where it is sold for making tapestries. It's more properly known as "plastic canvas" or "plastic weave". For further information: ask your grandmother (or in our case, ask our mothers). It does not glue particularly well, so use two part epoxy rather than superglue.

The competed Goliath Gang with the Heavy Stubbed added.

Simply awesome. The stubber fits in very well.

They look fantastic, the green mohawks are such a good contrast to the rest of the gang, really pop out.

Catching up on this thread. The Goliaths and the Reds look phenomenal.

It also doesn't take paint super-duper well. At least, if you're doing rust effects and chipping medium, when you rub off the medium, it rubs off all the layers of paint and the primer. One more detail about granny grating.

Love the terrain. Graffiti is always a nice touch.

Awesome terrain, straight out of an old school white dwarf! The goliaths look amazing too, must be quite a collection you have now Cap!

Thank you Not Online!!!, Olthannon, H.B.M.C., DJJazzyJeff, and gobert.

Here is the completed Ratskin Warband with the additional warrior armed with a musket.

Looking grand CB. What's next for Necromunda?

Great gang shot and adding on to gobert's comment, we need a collection shot just to see the scale of what you've amazingly painted over the years!

Great work on the Goliaths and the rat skins, I didn't realise that they had so many models!

Amazing band Captain!

Thank you Olthannon, Viterbi, Guardling, and muette

Striking! Fantastic

Thank you Stevefamine.

So for the bi-monthly League of Extraordinary Riveters I have started two scratch-built Plasma Regulators (or something similar with Plasma) to fit the theme of "The Heat is On!"

I have started by collecting these parts.



Cheers,

CB

Put them together with some extra chip board parts for doors (with staples for handles) and other little details.







There is a difference in height between the two gift boxes, so I used different PVC 90 degree pieces. Extras from the ladders for the shorter gift box became a window.

Cheers,

CB

Looks cracking CB. I know you'll paint it up to look a bit grimmer and darker, but I have to say I love the nice pinks and polka dots! Great use of parts, looking forward to the finish.

Those kids look perfect for plasma and the stripes lid on on of the boxes might be a perfect template for hazard stripes too!

Thank you Olthannon and gobert.

Finished the two Plasma Regulators. For use in both Necromunda and 40K...so not too much rust and weathering.










The long painting and converting war continues...

Looks great painted, Cap.

Might benefit from a couple of notes or posters at some point, but otherwise I really like the utilitarian look of it all. Very similar to various heating stations around where I grew up.

Great building and love the classic necromunda scum models above

I’d imagine the Mechanicum would want to keep their structures in good condition even on Necromunda! The lids (not kids ) work really well as plasma coils too

That building looks pretty. You should have left the polka dots the box originally had. But seriously, You have great ideas and bring them to very solid conclusion.

Thanks Sherrypie, I actually have some old paper posters to add...I just ran out of time for the competition, but may add them now.

Now working on some more old metal Escher.



The long painting war continues...

CB

Wow, some of those Eschers look a lot like the modern ones, look forward to seeing them painted...

Those are fantastic miniatures, going to look great painted up classic style

Great updates CB, the scenery looks first rate.


Looking forward to the Eschers!

Thank you Guardling, Illumini, and Olthannon

Finished the five Eschers.

They look brilliant CB! Great work on the pink hair.

Nice work on the Escher gangers!

Lovely ladies you’ve painted up CB! Pretty sure you’re winning that painting war now
