That does indeed help

I can rule out the 'landing pad' style mek's pile now

Yeah, rule that out.

New FAQ added to front page. It may help to clear up a few questions.

Picked up some junk building materials yesterday. Still going over different ideas, hope to come up with something soon enough.

Cheers.

Still trying to find that special something that's just laying about and catches my eye. Wanna find one of those and then lob some junk in with it. We shall see!

Got around to building my entry the other day! :-) it's amazing how an idea can spur you on to really have a crack at building a meaningful junk pile lol! now for paint!

@nerdefest09_ Paint already?, damn you're fast mate. I spend the whole of last night sorting out bits to use, let alone have any idea of what to build

Goodluck.

I have a rough idea of what i want to do and may sketch something up later.

More contestants! There are a lot of different ideas being shared with me, and they have all been very creative so far. Looking forward to seeing what the rest of you come up with.

Hmm. Slightly rethinking my build.

Liking the direction of the examples you've given Skalk.
I am rummaging through my junk, to find junk that can look like junk in a junk pile.

Where do we put our initial junk parts pile pics, do you need one, do you want it sent to you, or should we just include it with completed pic in a PM to you when we are finished.

I've got an idea I think could be fairly neat, but I'm waiting to see if Mr Bloodaxe thinks it's within the scope of the competition or not, I may be thinking too hard about it. Either way, I've got my pile of junk at the ready, so soon there will be a pile to paint

basecoat drying now. uploading WIP to gallery/stream after posting this. paint later this afternoon.

also curious as to how we are to inform Skalk about our progress/completion/etc. imagine just PM him with a note/link to gallery/thread.

Inspiration struck today. It was.... moist.

Ok so finished, now what?

@ everyone that asked- PM the images to me. I am requesting a pic of the bits you plan to use, a WIP, and then 5 angled shots. I'll fix the initial rules for other people to see, and I'll also post a series of pics taken in the format I would like to see them.

The rough build of my entry is assembled and on my P&M blog. Hot glue does wonders for expediency. Got some fussy details to work out and then I can see about some paint

Oh man I haven't even started yet. I should pull my thumb out and get cracking.

Came to bump the thread and announce I have a WIP pic on my page for those who wish to see. Glad I checked as I have a tiny overhanging piece.

I wants to see some WIP pics, in your thread of course , though feel free to post me here so you get disqualified and I have less competition alls fair in the underhive .

Ooh I'll go take a look, got some wips in my own gallery/blog, though pretty rough.

I am still rummaging through my boxes of junk to find things that look like junk. I have found a few interesting looking little bits so far, I just need some interesting looking larger bits to go with them... and then to decide how to arrange them... and then to actually arrange them... and then paint them... Still, plenty of time yet...

So far i've made three test pieces.... sat back and smiled... then realized *Feth* this isnt a pile of junk...

Glad to see people getting things done!

For people that haven't finished or started, keep the time frame in perspective and don't stress. The contest ends December 13th. Plenty of time.

I'll throw my hat into the ring.

dito...i am really beginning to doubt my imagination in terms of comming up with junk... does this mean i am only able to make good looking stuff?...hmmm...

Currently have two designs in the wip stage on my blog - there's two more that are still to appear.
Was planning to have a variety on show just to keep peeps gueesing as to which was my actual entry - but now I'm starting to wonder which it'll be

I've been getting PMs asking what is junk, what am I looking for, etc.

I can't stress this enough- make the model you want on your table. I know it is a contest where people are pitting skill for skill, but in the end you 'win' no matter what if you have a model you enjoyed building and looks great on your tabletop.

For those still asking, here's an example of random and junk. I threw this together tonight in 25 minutes. I've decided this is how I'm going to build and paint the prizes so take a good look at this piece as you may own it someday soon.

(Same model, multiple angles)

Pretty sweet junk pile. I need to do one like that, rather than what I've got. I think I will once this is done

New contestants! The battle wages on.

The fun part I think is thinking outside the square when building a 'junk' pile! :-) I hope I've done alright with mine, but while you can have a junk pile of random detritus you can have a junkpile of a car, or multiple broken machines that is just 'junked' in a corner! what about a junkpile in a chaos stronghold? that'd be bones and torso's and old weapons i'm guessing :-) so like Skalk says just have FUN with it there's no right or wrong, just- Junk!
