Thank you all.

Well did a little more tonight, you know how I do things arse about face, so did a couple washes and bit more detail work....(still loads to add to the basic road yet.)










Thanks for stopping by guys, all C & C welcome as always.

You know Cam, you keep this up and we're going to lose you to some Hollywood special effects team that needs a top-quality small scale modeler.

Thanks Gits


First ..nailed down where I am going with this! Not telling though.

Second, did a little bit this morning....sorry to all the foreigners, Brit markings....




Thoughts?

Looks like a very clean well maintained (you can see the road markings) street in the UK

needs a few crisp packets, flattened coke cans and rotting copies of the sun and daily mail filling the pot holes (best use for them).

Looking great cam, nice effect on the road surface - and those aren't Brit road markings....they're proper road markings

Cobblestones are a great touch next to the worn concrete.

Four minis of young men orcs from Liverpool crossing the walkway?

Intriguing how that dental plaster turned out. Looking good.

Fixed?

LOL you guys.

Todays additions. Not a lot....

This is becoming awesome

Little more paint, still lots to go, and got to add fair bit of detail.





Theres a clue here somewhere, where this thing is going!!


Thanks for stopping by.

A racing drag with lights and stop sign and looking old and worn, great job Cam!

Yeah that's really come along, excellent

So does this look Imperial?


Scale shot


Aiming for imperial streetracer?!

Hmm... I'm not sold on the racer (the street is, however, awesome) however I faith in your ability to imperialise it with skulls and ammo...

I like it, looks suitable for a gang racer, something that's been modified from a circuit racer maybe, but it doesn't really strike me as Imperial.

Perhaps the racer needs to be more boxy? You know how the Imperium loves boxy things

"Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way..."

The actual lamp section of the streetlight, what did you use? The rest I figure out.

Thank you.

I agree it is too smooth for a Imperial. Not sure might have another go later. If I take the wheels off, it could be Tau!?


@ Red Piece of styrene tube, dremel out lens "whole" put smaller tube inside. In this case a drinking straw. Fill with hot melt glue and try and smooth off.



And pics of the racer now....(pilot is not stuck in.)








Think I will have another go tomorrow at an Imperial type, this one gets put to one side for now. Will obviously be doing an Ork racer, yes the idea will be Ork V SM small crowd either side, dainty female in middle of road to start the race, grots hanging from the lights, maybe a few homebrew cheerleaders. Giving myself a lot to do, but I am fairly quick when I get wound up to it.

All your thoughts are very much appreciated.

Cheers for now.

Well, add some plates and wires and that'll work far better for orks than marines....although, yeah, Tau should work too.

Will wait for the updated racer yet (Looks great in itself, I just do not feel it imperial, if that's the look you were going after). The street, on the other hand, is outstanding. Light effects look spot on

Got it. Needs Rivets!

That street look's fantastic, love the lighting effect from the lamps, all very well done .

Fantastic street, and OSL! Very Nice. Racer is nice, but get rid of the damn marine driver

great work, agree the that the racer doesnt look boxy enough for the imperium

Great road. Looks pukka. Britain. Best street markings in the world!! Souldn't it have more patches and some dandelions though?

Seriously though I have noticed a sharp drop in road quality recently. I'm not especially bothered by it as I've scrapped the car.

Great jet-bike ting, looks like the louge from 'Cool Runnings'

The OSL is just divine, and i love the copy of the Sun.

Really nice Cam!

The street looks great. I really like the painted circles of light from the lamp posts. Painted lighting always tickles my storytelling bones. Turns the piece into a nighttime scene even if its displayed in the light of day. Going to have to echo the chatter about debris and painted line weathering. A roadbed as distressed as that seems like it wouldn't have painted lines as crisp. In any case, it looks awesome overall.

Thank you one and all, much appreciated.

Well I am on going on the road surface. So watch this space.

But for know thought I would stop my frustrations and go to where I am happy, not necessarily good at, but happy.






Thanks
