And mine: Ultima ratio Imperator

Official entry, done.




Good luck to all, and waiting for more finished works!

Cheers.

Awesome work Cam and LT - I feel wholly inadequate as I'm still at the bare plastic stage...


Nom, nom, nom...

Excellent work everyone, it's great to see finished entry's start to pour in

For those who haven't finished yet, I've extended the deadline a week into November, hopefully this will give you the time you need to finish your masterpieces.

@ Yggdrasil: well if you think you could get your entry finished in the next 2 weeks, your quite welcome to enter,
If not, then you can always enter the next one .

During the time this competition has been going, I've been running a little scratch building experiment of my own,
the results of which I will be giving away as the prize to the winner of this contest.

It's a model I've been curious about building for a while, and this competition has given me the opportunity to give it a go,
as every contest needs a prize at the end, plus I don't like making things that i'm not going to use, this way I'm sure someone will get more use out of it than I will.

I will be revealing the prize soon, I just have a few more details (rivets) to add.

Well, hey, thanks for the offer, but 2 weeks won't be enough... I already have a Shadowblade assassin due for November, 2nd for a painting comp at my local GW store...

Please let me know about the next competition !!

@ Yggdrasil: The next contest probably wont be until next year now, it depends on who ends up running it.

But I'll let you know as soon as it starts.

I've got too many projects going! I need to hit up the bunker with the wall compound and build the control room, but I have to paint up an army for a tournament! AAARGH

Sure, thanks !

Well those entries look amazing... and unless I am fired from work tomorrow I doubt I will be able to finish anything for this comp... sorry to say but I think I'm just going to sit back with my popcorn and watch the epic clash of Orky emplacement vs. Orky emplacement... versus tyranid horror... plus Littletower you are amazing man.

@ Meade: No worry's mate, but if your definitely not competing this time, then I might contact you behind closed doors,
and ask for your help with the judging, It will be good to get a second opinion on all the individual entry's, If your interested .

I'm still in guys... workin on more garbage bags...

no problem, just pm me if you need help with it.

So here's what I've been working on for the last few months, this will be the prize for who ever wins the Competition.
The body and head of a Lucius Pattern Warhound Titan.

Although originally designed to be a piece of a terrain, you could probably do loads of different things with it,
and if your feeling particularly ambitious, you might even want to build some legs for it and finish it off

Of course you have to win it first, so good luck to all, and keep those entrants coming.

Said on your own blog, but this is an amazing piece and whoever wins will be winning apiece of great value

Just to show that I'm still in the games (by the skin of my teeth)




Lot's of work to do though and still no sign of paint...

That is quite a prize hk! Oh my the winner of this contest will be a lucky (and deserving) person.

I am sadly unable to complete, I will be on the look out for the next competition though!


Automatically Appended Next Post:
After I finish the Bunker gun, a friend and I are going to be building and Asteroid Field and Starfort. It would seem the terrain bug has infected us rather nastily!

I was working on a 'behind the scenes' project and I went a bit OTT so there's no way I'll finish it before this is over. Gah.

Maybe next time. Or the time after that. 2015 might be my year.

@ Skalk Bloodaxe: I'm sorry to hear you wont be finished in time,
but would still love to see what it is you were working on, If you don't mind sharing it .

Seconded!!!

No No No. No-one is allowed to drop out, you must finish. We need to see spectacular stuff NOW.

Welcome to the League of Extraordinary Riveters - Contest #7

Your gun emplacement should be a model fixed into position, meaning it was either built at that location, or is too heavy or complex to move anywhere else. For example a basilisk Cannon *** built into a fortified bunker*** would be fine.

... a gun placed behind a few sandbags is more model than Terrain, however [b]a gun built into a reinforced bunker, that's been*** dug into a cliff face[*** is a much more interesting concept.

I had the right idea, but it turned into an utter and complete fail on my part:




I'll likely never finish it (though it is further along than this pic, it's just what I had available) and I've already considered re-purposing options so I do not waste the materials.

So yeah. Maybe next time.

Anyway, enough of my whining. Awesome entries from everyone! As always I'm impressed with the artistry and vision displayed on Dakka. I've been noticing that terrain builders are a small lot around here, but we're a dedicated and tight-knit group. My skills have advanced immeasurably since joining Dakka and I've been inspired by almost everyone. Seeing the work that people do during these LoER contests has never failed to impress. One of these days I'm going to actually do something. If anyone ever runs a 'build a lot of little piles of junk out of random bits' contest I will crush all that oppose me. Or at very least I'll enter and complete a project. Ha.

Looking forward to seeing what the end results of these massive efforts yields.

Well here is my entry, not worthy of a Titan, or even the upper half of one , but here goes.

Looking great there Theo. Looks like it could blow a hole in a star destroyer to me!

@ Theophony: I think it's great, very well done,
I like the black and yellow warning stripes, tells you to stand back or your gonna get your ears blown off .

Is there any chance of seeing a few more pics of it though, I just want to see it up close, and from different angles, thanks.

Ask and later you receive.





There are four different colored pipes coming off the weapon. In game I plan on having the four tubes be objectives. The colors will be written down hidden as to which two are critical and which two are secondary. If the attacker disables the right two the the system is taken out. That way this piece can be used to affect gameplay in an anti orbital game.

Also it was designed to also be used as a oil tank, but it keeps scratching the paint off the tank top when I do that.

Just remove turret and flip the lid.

Excellent, thank you .

Working on the gun emplacement now the bad ass comp is over. I believe I have a few more days, and a lot of work still to do...































There's more pictures in my gallery, in the Contests folder.
Let me know what you think guys,...

Brilliant work. Love the use of materials.

@ MauS: Don't worry you've got some time left yet, and well done on your progress so far, loving the attention to detail,
all the papers, posters and rubbish everywhere really adds realism to this piece.

I'm looking forward to seeing the gun itself, and I'll give plenty of warning when this contest approaches its end.

I don't really want to ask this as I'm scared of the answer... but what is the new deadline likely to be?

Even though I have actually finished I for one vote for as much time as it takes for Bertha to be entered in all her glory. I honestly feel it's not a competition without at least a few more completed entries, especially Bertha, not that I am bias.
