Managed to get some time in on 'Comrade and Papa's Round 4 :The Brotherhood round' competition. Threw some paint over the figures and also some on the display base.
Next up is weathering and detailing...

can´t really say much about the FOW stuff... too small and too historical for my taste... but I can say the model of that haubitze looks quite good... with all that detail!
Automatically Appended Next Post: My competition entry is almost done. Some weathering on the posters and signs in the background and a few finishing touches on the figures. Should be done in a coule of days (hopefully)
For now I have this washed out image... Will get better shots when finished with my light box
or this slightly darker version

as i said before.... i like the darker version better....,ore fitting to the general theme...
as for the lego... i need to show these to my son... he loves using bricks in many twisted ways... he uses them mainly for their shape and comes up with some awesome ideas... all these "scratch built" models will give him plenty of ideas!.
i think it is a mix of jabbas barge and a steam tank... the classic imperial cobbled with da vincies tank design...
and i agree...most awesome indeed!...
but i have to ask... the pieces often get used in a very twisted way... like the wedges... do these converters cheat and use glue? i think quite often otherwise nothing that cool looking would be possible...?
Still trying to find my Lego baseplates to start my legomunda campaign. I've looked everywhere for them, and have a great idea for the setup, but I refuse to purchase more o them at the prices they have now.

Ha ha, yeah and the beauty of Legomunda is you don't have to base the figures, they are fully posable, weapon swaps are as easy as pie and buildings can be shot to pieces as the game progresses !
For the outdoor miniland displays, they are all "legal" builds, But glue is used for weatherproofing

The Legoland shots taken outdoors are all courtesy of my 9 year old son - the proud owner of the Palace Theatre... He's quite nifty with a camera, only had a couple of shots that we deleted due to the camera strap hanging over the lense...
Might try and stop by the Lego store that opened in a mall near my parents house today while we are out. It's supposed to be one of the largest stores in the company, so I'm excited. If we don't o it okay it's definitely on the list for the coming week.

Park a Station Wagon there by the fence and it looks liek a scene from the Brady Bunch! The LEGO store is a fantastic place!

It certainly is Plastic - no more mowing, just have to vacuum the lawn now
Procastination finally over on my entry for The -=]_=- Terrain Competition... I ws going to go with a war memorial with lots of statues but I just don't have the time or miniatures to get it done (it can instead go on my 'to do' list...) So, I've been struggling to come up with something else, then inspiration struck when I was flicking through some old WDs. Time to go old skool and make a Stone Circle
Initial work - base is hardboard, approx 25cm / 10' diameter. Standing stones are made from polystyrene chunks, shaped with my old hot wire cutter.
Next step is to put filler over the whole piece to get some surface texture, also need to decide what's going in the middle - choice is from firepit, sacrificial alter, stone table, dead tree or a larger standing stone.

Oh and about time sir.
I did consider doing something along these lines, but I want to keep the piece generic so it can be used in fantasy, sci-fi and historical games.

Thanks Dave. Yeah, the 'green army men' could be an option... Maybe a later competition will be 'Statues'...
So, I've now added filler to the whole base and painted the stones with a PVA / sand mix to give them a rougher feel. Also decided that I'll have a stone table in the central, similar to the one in The lion, the witch and the wardrobe - could either be a simple altar or a sacrificial stone...
