that is indeed the question... my first intention was to use



but she is way too small...


got any suitable british/steampunky/victorian minis that are bigger than your average 28mm scale minis you could point me at?

something posh looking...?

Crying shame, but what about a Praetorian on horseback? I believe you have some very pretty Praetorian Guard I have seen on your blog??!!

Sorry if I my spelling is wong.

Looking good guys

Vik maybe try some of those 32 mm scale figs out there?? Maybe for dystopian legions?

looking good Vic, look forward to seeing where this goes.

Vik, you might try some happy meal disney princess... they are usually bigger, and might look good

I'd be interested in trying this. May I join?

Yeah, the contest is open to everybody!

@ Vic. I wouldn't say I was a master, but thanks anyway for the compliment.

Progress is slow going on my entry at the moment, and that's probably because I'm being overly ambitious with my concept, but there's plenty of time so no rush.

well... i was making a research before i even started... and you are with your statues a google VIP and here on dakka when you search for statues... you fill up 95%... i close my case

I think he's in stealth mode Trying to get everyone's guard down...

From the makeup of this contest so far... I'd say we have many masters competing, but as Riveters our greatest enemy is randomness and real life interfering with the ability to finish projects...

aye...that and the threat of getting sidetracked again^^

currently my wife is suggesting i should start all over again with the pedestal...she thinks a round one would look better...

I think your pedestal is cool looking! there is plenty you can do with weathering the bricks in an interesting way.

As for your wife.. did she really say that ?

If so that is grounds for some teasing.

well...i take your comments to her... and we´ll see about what is what

and i planned some nice weathering too... the in between the bricks is bound to be a cool space...

Well it's not such a bad advice round figures look pretty good on round podiums

You can tell her I'll make her some steampunk earrings if you win for the prize

Like gamer ADD, but with my whole life.

lol vic, queen vic would have been nice to see.

I booted up cad and came up with this as a rough shape for a hexagonal building. the left shows the front view, the right shows one of the other sides,

just to give an indication of scale , that little line between the two is 28mm high.

here is what the ground floor would look like in size


and one of the 6 walls


this might be a bit over the top ... perfect 40k

good looking start noodles...and about time we saw some updates here...

which brings me up to speed wih my own endeavors...:

it will be a project i think will one day make a full table if i play my cards right...

for now...working title is graveyard...







for now i have used wine bottle corks made from foam (?!), serviettes...and flooring insulation foam (green foam)...PVA and the patience of my wife^^...

also... seeing this now... it is a testament to my own hobby ADD

ideas and plans change so much^^

Excellent ideas there matey. You're a font of creativity.

Or, just nuts, I forget which.

@ Onemannoodles. That looks great, cant wait to see more,
and there's no such thing as over the top just great attention to detail lol.

I now know pretty much the direction I'm heading in with my entry, or at the least I have an image in my head of what i want it to look like.
I've still got a lot of work to do as the images below are just the master sculpts, and will be used to make molds so i can mass produce all the parts I need.
This includes a mold of the 100 bricks you can see below, as im expecting to use around 2000 bricks in my entry ( yes it's gonna be big )

Yowser. Be sure to make mold of that bad boy and cast one for me to buy off you eh?

ohoh... seems i have to seriously up the game now...

i still have some trumps up my sleaves

expect a major payload of pics this night!
