I'm still in this, just gathering bits for my altar to the Blood God.

That's the spirit!

Can you post a picture with a figure next to it for size reference? When I was out with the family last night my son and I went through the toy section at target, was probably right next to that but forgot to check it out, too busy looking at Lego I guess. Those fireballs may make excellent mace tops if the right size.

Never mind, saw your scale shot in your thread, it's looking great.

Update to my P&M blog for the competition.

Gentlemen, after a long period of reflexion, I've finally started to work on my entry.

First, a little jump in time.
July 1997. I was in Galway for a month, and as a reading practice I bought a White Dwarf. It was the one which announced the release of the first Sisters of battle codex.
In this WD was a campaign opposing the SoB to a genestealer cult. And there was a cardboard shrine to use in this campaign.

Back to today.
Here's the shrine now:

WD cardboard terrain do not like movings.

Here's, however it's twin sister, unpunched (and of which I've made copies, just to be sure this kind of material would not disappear in the warp of time):


Now, my new friend "Signs making styrene sheet" enters the game:


I still don't know if it's going to be a SoB shrine or a CSM one.

Cheers!

Sweet! Have you by any chance made a tasty PDF of such a thing?

Perhaps...who knows

I absolutely LOVE this type of work!

Vraiment? Si c'est possible, je le voudrais!

ohh.... cool!

I remember that White Dwarf, and I remember that card shrine...
I also remember it getting squashed

Heres where I am with my entry at the moment, although I havent started work on my final version yet, I have done a test piece to give me an idea of how all the parts i've cast go together.
This is a very rough WIP, and needs a lot more work, plus I have a load of painting tecniques I want to try on this, so their ready for my finished entry.

Wow! hk1x1 this is impressive. What did you use, Plastiroc?

Here are some more progress on the shrine:


In fact, I've made a second one today (but it will be for something else)

Tomorrow, I'll try to build the platforms and the tomb. Then, I'll carve the bricks and add the details.

is that foamcore? looking very good hyenajoe!

and hk1x1... awesome is just too small a word...

@hyena: I'm very interested in this process you've got going, using the printouts and then adding more depth to it!

@hk1: wow! that's just a test? It looks so medieval! looking forward to the painting.

Very nice work hyenajoe, can't wait to see some texture on there.

I'd like to throw my hat in for the competition. This would be the first I've done so I will need some help from you guys.

There is still plenty of time! good to see the applicants trickling in...

as for help, you have the resources of the league at your disposal buddy! feel free to ask anything.

yup... we´re here to serve... and rivet^^

Did some quick sketches for my entry, I'll upload them soon.

It looks like I probably wont get my planned terrain finished in time for the competition, this is mainly due to me being overly ambitious.
So I've made some changes to my test piece and have decided to enter this instead.
Here's the progress I've made so far.

That's just Gorgeous!

well done hk1x1, i love the attention to detail in there... having the three layers of masonry gives such a realistic effect

If what I'm planning turns out to work it will be my largrst project to date. Hopefully at least three stories high

Painting is underway on my entry, if anyone wants to follow it's progress as i paint, head over to my terrain project thread,
link below.

I might be going back to my original idea at this point!

@Hk1: Awesome pics on your blog!

@Inmygravenimage: Well, the experiments are appreciated! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

@everyone: Hmm... the deadline is steadily coming up... be sure not to leave it to the last minute! Hk1 has posted some incredibly impressive stuff... but there are some dark horse candidates that we haven't heard back from... that have already proven their skills to compete and take the win! Live up to the challenge, so you can look in the mirror in the morning and call yourself Riveteer!

I'm out of this one, good luck to all!

thats sad, would love to know what you had planned though as well as some of the other entries.

I've been putting up images on my blog, but here is an update of where I am so far


I've still got a way to go, but at least I'm nearly done building it.

Ooh that's sexy! I especially like the Dentil and arches around the base! I just had too many IRL things going on to dedicate as much time as it deserved!
