Thank you Klaus, will have a go, sure I will not achieve anything like your standards though. For those who are unfortunate enough not to know Klaus's work.....

Truly inspirational.

Some more filler....

Some of Dr H's amazing boxes.


And a hoist for getting the ammo upstairs.



Still lots to do. Got to make up some gun emplacements for upstairs, fill the scene with boyz, add some more rubbish, and paint up that OSL in the centre. And still got a couple more Ideas kicking about, plenty of time on this competition so time to fool around a bit.

Thoughts? C & C welcome. I take everything you say on board, steal most of it actually. So please keep it coming.

Them some nice boxes you got there...

Good luck with the osl. I can't help you there, but listen to the master.

A Hoist? dat's bein' too kind to da Grots!

damn...I am now thinking to stomp my entry with my feet till there is no tomorrow...that outside daylight shot looks amazing...

as for a how-to OSL... no help from me... as still a straight from the pot painter that´s definitely out of my league^^...

and I agree...those boxes are the killer...nice idea to fill them with straw...

I'm out of ideas here. So I'll just say looks great. Although I sort of want to see a second figure skulking around somewhere.

Thank you gents.

Don't even think it Vik, get your BBQ up and running need to photoshop it in to the sdie of my entry, Ork HQ ere we go!

i think tomorrow will be my next update... way too long postponed...only joked^^...
but not about the stunning outside shots you did... sunlight always brings that extra edge to pics...

@GrimDork - if you start questioning the 200 year old newspapers, you then have to start questioning how all the buildings are bigger on the inside than the outside

OMG what have I done?!!!

So this is with bad lighting so maybe not as bad as it looks, but think I went a bit OTT with the OSL.

Naaah. You just painted the exact moment when the fire touched off the remnants of an old gas can that was sitting the bottom of the barrel.

LOL Thanks Gits.

Some more gubbins....

Crate of guns!


Crates in place...

Git , that was my thought too...
Nice idea with the gunfilled crates, tho I always imagine it for orks to be too much of a hussle to pack up guns in crates

As an official judge, I have no 'official' opinion on your work other than giving you a

In for a penny, in for a pound.
If you're going to do osl, do OSL.

Cam, that is awesome.

Only qualm would be to darken the shadow of the barrel where there would be most contrast with the brightest closest lit area.
Bright lights cast dark shadows, when shone from only one direction ... and all that.

Yup, that's why I'm staying quiet too...

This is great!
You're almost there!
Add some dark washes to the shadows (also the barrel, as the light is on the inside, so the outside is a lot darker)
A great start!

Loving all the extra little details, awesome work .

With the OSL, you may want to up the contrast between the bright areas and the recesses. And really, one of those crates needs an inhabitant. A 'rat-squig'?

Beautiful work cam , so much character in the house and it's occupant.

Thank you so much everyone, really spurring me on.

@ Red. On it!

Ok taking all your great advice and adding shadow, trying to do it slowly so not much to show.

So I think I will share this little bit instead, next occupant having lunch, thanks Red for the book idea.

Very early wip so excuse colours and head. Best zoom in for details.

In situ!


Modelled by me.


Hopefully close up of cook book, you will have to zoom in on this, left it big to give scale.


Thanks for looking, and especially for your thoughts. Hope you like.

Excellent, keep it going

This is definitely out of my realm of hobby knowledge but its nice to see whats got you so busy cam! Its looking to my eyes, fantastically detailed and suitably orky. im thinking a hard fought battle with terrain like this would be a blast and a huge step forward in my current situation. Great stuff and as always in your case, super creative!

Cooking Umi, nice touch!

Much better with the OSL.

With the cook-book, you realize you have created the worst horror the galaxy will ever know...

An Orc *Foodie*

Great work Cam. Layer upon layer of details is what I like to see.

Cam branching out all over the place!

Thank you.

So here is "Grozzork".

This is a PIP shot so excuse the slips.



And in situ.....



Thanks for looking.

That's a great diorama. And do I see some 2nd edition bitz making up part of Grozzork?

Thanks Zogg.

So here's the hoist.



Pic of as is at the moment.....



And next bit teaser.....



Thanks for looking.
