Great stuff here mate. I enjoy making my own bases as well, sadly due to space i have to limit myself to small things.

but the CD and drink caps idea is amazing, and it's really interesting how you used the straws to make bases for the plants. Until i saw that i thought it's going to be something more of the lines of a "bleeding" vein or so

Now let's see what ideas i could borrow
Keep it up!

Thanks for the feedback, ciuncky! Borrow away!

NIce ruined building and another outdoor piece!

Fantastic stuff as always.

I was thinking rusty pipes in the ground, then they were trees,

Inspiration in every pictire..... great work and even more so toroduce such a lot of high quality! Really cool....

Wow! This is inspirational... And, about gingered beer, are you supposed to be talking about that in a website where at least 1 12 year old is on...

Ginger beer is non-alcoholic. Regatta is probably the best, but it is pricey. Maine Root makes a nice one. If you want heat to your drink, get a Goya. They add capsicum to their ginger beer. Gosling is cheap but drinkable. Dee-Gees and Frosties have too much sugar. Fentiman's is in a class unto itself, but it is good. And very expensive. Now, If I can only find a good Sarsaparilla.

You did a fine job inking those plants. The only other way I know to diminish that artifical look they have is a light drybrushing.

Thanks for all the positive feedback, everyone! It's really appreciated.

Here are some shots of the terrain I've been making assembled on a table at the gaming store I'm making all the terrain for! (more angles and some close ups in my finished thread here)


Thanks for looking and have an awesome day. C&C always welcome!

That is truly... I demand an applauding orkmoticon be made especially in your honour.

Also, an irrelevant side question: I got a very special, limited edition ale for father's day. Would you like the cap?

still can´t get over your garlic trees.... the nerve...the ideas, the eye for opportunities....
feel a little ashamed to drop in to this party so late...

colour me subscribed...and sitting here taking notes^^

Wow, thanks.

As functional & usable terrain pieces they look awesome! And they could really give an endless number of different layouts and terrains to fight over! Very cool!

Thanks MagosBiff90! I'll post some more WIP/PIP stuff in a few.

Great to see your stuff laid out on a table. All looks excellent. Kinda lucky you have a gamestore to have your mass produced goodies.

Inspirational as always sir.

Thanks, Cam!

here's some updates. I have a tin of sprue:


So I made a jungle base with it:




Also, remember this hill?


It some more love. Blue love:



Red love:



Grey love:



Cream love:



White love:



And flock love:



I'm currently on vacation/house sitting for one of my brothers (I have 9) in Pennsylvania. I miss my workshop, but brought a couple hundred orks with me to keep me busy. Sigh. Thanks for looking, C&C is always welcome. Have an awesome day!

Well nothing better to stop yourself from going all The shining by painting a few hundred orks . But the hill looks great!

well....i don´t see the jungle from here in that sprue...yet... but i have faith

and that hill... awesome!

I think my sarcasm detector was just set off, Ustrello. But yeah, everything I do is a "No work and no play make Jack a dull boy" kind of project. Thanks for the feedback!

I take so many pictures I currently have a backlog of several hundred yet to upload to my galleries here on dakka. I have to find the work in progress shots of that sprue jungle so you can watch its transformation. Fear not Vik, all shall be revealed. Thanks for the feedback!

*rubs hands* looking forward to these then!

Maybe make an ork at a type writer with sheets around him saying No fightin' and No WAAAGH make da warboss a dull boy

I just might, Ustrello.

Anyway, I found some pics of my sprue jungle bases WIP. I didn't seem to take any pics when I hotglued on the straw bits or when I latticed the sprue with more hotglue, but I did take some shots with the clay half on to prove that these bases were still indeed the ones I had made of sprue:




And then this same base with sand pressed on:




I think that's as far as I've gotten on this so far. More pics of my many projects in about 12 hours. Thanks for looking and have an awesome day!

ah... so used the sprue as a means to get the base bumpy...now i see^^

That's some league worthy sprue action

Thanks, guys. Yes. There's no such thing as trash (except rotting food, because gross).

Did someone mention Sprue?

Nice work, 'boss.
Shame the sprue was covered up.

All looking good Waaazag.

Nice seeing some more table pics

Thanks, Joe. I hope to post up some more pics of the million or so projects I'm working on shortly.

Happy "Haha Britain, we colonials aren't going to put up with your rule-from-across-the-Atlantic bs/luckily-France-and-Spain-recognize-our-sovereignty-and-dislike-you-enough-to-give-us-foreign-aid-so-we-can-wear-you-down-and-make-you-quit-fighting-us" day to all my United States of America friends and followers.

I have too many photos. I still have 57 pics left to upload. Hopefully I'll have time to do that and make a GIGANTIC post a little later tonight.

your audience is waiting patiently

As a teaser, here is the beginning of a new project I'm working on.








The big dump will have to wait till Monday. Thanks for looking and have an awesome day!
