only one thing... you got a file at the bobbies for spraying walls in your youth? looks like you had way more experience than we thought with that stuff...

LOL< Cam does do good Tag work!

Tanx. OK update big pic dump.

I have noticed that:
1) I lied in saying no more WIP shots.
2) I need to tidy up a fair bit.

The competition is getting tough and I am a crap painter, need to really knuckle down over the next week.

So here are daylight shots, please feel free to comment, and let me know if you see anything off.















Sorry it is so many, maybe I will spoiler them later.

Thanks for looking.

All sweet Cam, all sweet. :Thumbsup:

I've had a good look through and there's only a couple of things that I can offer advice about:
The rust on the legs of the little Hotel Calif-Orknia sign could do with a bit more attention to make it look less like orange blobs. The rest of your rust looks much better.

And you appear to have some yellow on the metal barrels of your gun. Give the whole model a good look over for those little slips as they make the difference.

As a whole, it's an awesome model. Good job Cam

I think the only thing to add/change would be the top of the umbrella should look like a target from above, but keep the already painted parts as it's been struck once or twice before by a passing by grot plane .

The details just keep on coming
I like the large Ork head sculpt, curious to see what you might do with that .

I don´t need to have these pics spoilered...scrolling through them is a joy...

Sweet

The daylight shots really show off the light effects from the fire.

Only comment I can make is to echo Dr H on the rusty legs.......

No. Just no.

I have been a painting judge (maybe I've mentioned that) and have seen thousands of minis and hundreds of display boards. I know crap painting all too well. Your terrain is very well painted. The minis are tabletop quality, a little better than average tabletop quality actually, which is a good place to be unless you want to be a "competition painter" or have something to prove.

Thank you all for responding.

@ Red, thank you, very much appreciated.

OK think I am finished with this wall now, finally calling it done, getting close, I seem to hae hit a wall now, on the whole thing I have ideas to add still, but heeding the advice given, I think I am going to stop. Jst tidy up my painting, and call it a day. I also have 2 commisions waiting in the wings, that have me thinking and distracted slightly.

Anyways this wall, finished!



Finally finished (I hope) Littletowers Trophy for the last competition. Please remember this was his request. Spoilered here, I have put it up on my other Orkishness blog.



Thanks forlooking in, please call again.

I think cam you are a new trendsetter for orks... you´ve created in my opinion cutyorks....really!

My favorite part is the rubber ducky.

I am seeing this late..... and all i can say is...

The level of detail is amazing... each time i look there is a new little gem to find! Great work buddy!

Thanks guys, I am sorry I could not help myself.....

Lol I like the roasted sausage thing.

You have gone all-out orky. We humble ourselves before you!

Squigwurst. Delicious and nutritious.

Tank you.

Well that t I think, taken ics, will be submiting them shorty.

Just leave you with this one sneak peek.



Thanks for staying, next up will be another car i am afraid, bit more of a challenge to this one mind you.I will be working on another orky commision too, but that will be on my ork blog, where this should have gone really.

All comments are welcome and I will post the final pics here once the comp ends on the 11th.

Nice touch Cam. Very well done.

Really great!
My bet is on you
And from the last image I get the feeling you got the trick of the OSL stuff worked out

Thank you.

@ Klaus. Thank you, any success I have with the OSL is thanks to your advice. Thank you.

If anyone want's to have a look, please don't look if you are part of the competition, my entry is in a gallery.

Thanks everyone for your ideas and support throughout this one.

Hey Cam, you should post a link to the competition thread when your final pics are posted and people can check it out in-context.

So I guess I can just about post up my final pics....here anyways.

They have been around in a gallery for a while, along with alot of the WIP, got to organise my pics soon.

OK here you go, feel free to comment and critique, oh and vote if you feel so inclined.



Exterior.






Close ups.








Thanks guys and dolls.... next lot will be very different.

Simply awesome! Close-ups and detail shots are just perfect!

Very awesome work from a man who months ago felt he had no talent! Now we see what was waiting within him to burst forth art wise!

Ridiculously cool

How am I supposed to beat that!?

Game over, you win lol

The orks in sleeping bags is killing me. Also, why are there carrots on the floor? Amazing, amazing work, my friend.

That is absolutely immense!! I love it, can I book an bed and burger please? 2 teef is a bargain.

Brilliant work. Nice work for details.

I have been around in this threat for a while but never took the time to post something. Sorry for that.
You and your work deserve the compliments.
