So very mucky... Bodes well!

Some more paint.






Thanks for all your feedback guys, thoughts please.

In particular, colour of the exterior walls? Should I go lighter?

And as Red asked, what to do with the lovely wooden floor?

I will say I have plans that are a twist in the tail on this whole thing, but I would still love to have your thoughts.

Wow! That's awesome. Totally subbed.

Nice brick colour.

I think the colour of the short wall (3rd pic) is perfect in that picture, do that. The long wall looks a little plain in comparison.

Just one word for that ruin; Impressive!

Good idea to do the second floor separately, really good all round.

There is a pink liquid mask (i think its made by humbrol?) That would be useful for chipping paint or peeling wallpaper ... hmm

Thanks guys, update.

Wallpaper. Ok so first I pre paint the walls. Then using a 50/50 pva mix put a layer of T/roll. While its still wet pull it around gently with a stick, so it tears here and there. Once dry I will paint it.

Lovely!
And the latest update with the wallpacer is simply genius
But I suppose the Ork in the batchtub will be in this room then?
So he'll be almost lost and invisible, which would be a shame. If it was up to me, I'd take the front wall fo this room (where your thumb is on the image) remove it completely and lay it out on the floor - lokking like it blew out (from some toilet gases?).
Then the bathing Ork would be clearly visible, but you'd still have the full structural support for the upper floor.
In regards to the paint inside and outside - I prefer to make everything darker, with lots of washes. They bring out the details and it is a lot easier to add highlights, or even light effects.
And then the simple omission of these dark washes in some areas are already the start for some OSL
I'll keep a close eye on this fancy build.
Cheers

One key to great games and enjoyment of the hobby is terrain, terrain that tells a story, terrain that makes you wish you were there battling your enemies, terrain that appears as if we bought our thoughts to reality...... terrain like this!

it's simply awesome! great effects, excellent ideas and beautifully executed!

This looks great mate! Really good..... and yeh... that idea for the wallpaper is sweet!

Love the fact you can actually see the construction of the house and all of the elements!

Wallpaper, yes! Orc in a bathtub...hmm, please pixelate that, or give it lots of bubbles...the soapy kind

I saw a cool technique for a brick and mortar effect some time ago, grinding up white pastel sticks and rubbing the powder into the crevices. You may want to try something like that for the exposed blocks in the wall.

Thank you. Really appreciate it.

@ Klaus. I think you could be right, I was hoping that the corner off would be enough, but I don't know now. And I think I will be putting some washes over it and then bringing it up a bit for the OSL. Your recent pieces have really inspired me to have a go.

@ Nerdy, I am honoured.

@MagosBiff90, Thank you, please keep watching, more to come.

@ Red, Thank you, and not to worry, nothing to see here! And I am thinking of something like that. Dave (dsteingass) has done some work on this quite some time ago now, I may go for one of these techniques, my only concern is that my brick work is a rough texture, and will catch a lot of the "mortar" too.

Thank you so much for your comments, I will return later with another update.

I do not want to say much, me being a judge in the Comp and all, just letting you know I'm following still.

But it looks good

Small update, what do you think?

Fantastic work Cam, love the torn wallpaper effect.

Nice. I can see many buildings in the future with bog roll wallpaper peeling off.

A suggestion: needs some black mold/mildew spots on the back of the wallpaper, given that it is in a humid area. It looks fine as is though.

The brick should catch some of the powder, and then you wipe it with a slightly damp cloth, just like you would do with grouting. It gives the brick a 'worn' look. Never hurts to experiment, time permitting.

That's fancy, the finished piece is going to be amazing.

Again thank you.

This is still wip, but I am done for tonight so I leave you with this until tomorrow night.





And with the walls in place.


Thanks for looking in, and thanks for all your support.

Complete with rubber ducky. Perfect.

Awesome! like what you did with squigar smoking Ork in a bath

Cool as duck!

*wipes clean his screen* LOL...

tho...shouldn´t there be a foot sticking out of the water still?...or a pair of knobbly knees at least?^^

I gather the duck is all sculpted by you?...we have to keep an eye out for you sir, you´re in a mood to take over the world terrain piece by terrain piece it seems

Thanks guys.

Just leave these here for now. Need some more washes and a lot of detail painting.




Thoughts as always appreciated.

Thanks Vik,

Yes I made the duck, and thought about a toe or two, not too late yet. Toilet by Dr.H. Brilliant stuff. Added the occupant myself. Cut the feet off an old ork and drilled out the tops for the boots on the floor. Bath I made and filled with Hot Glue, then painted it up. Really like the "greening" I got on the side of the copper bath tub.

Much appreciated. Thanks for your amazing support.

hmmm...currently the many different colors kinda hit my eyeballs...the red, blue and green....hmmm.... but I have faith and you mentioned that there will be detailpainting to follow...some nice happy wallpaper patterns maybe?...all moldly later on?

oh and nice to see how you worked with that bathroom wall...!!!

lol...just saw the boots.... ...brilliant!

Nice, Cam. Very nice.
Good to see he's all prepared for bath-time with his rubber duckie


Although it's perhaps ambitious of the grot to think it can have a comfortable bath in the loo.

Yeah, the bright primary colours are a little strong. The blue and red in particular. If the building has been ruined for long enough for it to be peeling off, then the wallpaper would also be faded. Keep the bright colours in the corners and where it's in shadow or folded over. A dry-brush of lighter tones, maybe?

Awesome Cam... simply awesome.

Orcs bathe? That came completely out of the blue.

A perfect picture of greenskin domesticity.

I'm guessing the blue wallpaper is going to get more washes, because it's intensely colorful at the moment. Too much for the rest of the piece. Aside from that it looks great.

Thanks. Update, coming down.
