@Inmygravenimage - I love the details you are putting in to your asteroid, but I'm starting to find it difficult to make out all of the elements due to distracting colours of the newspaper. I'm sure it will be clearer when primed though.

Are you planning on putting more papiér-mâché on or were you going to leave it as a solid structure with rock coming out of it, rather than the other way round?

Thanks mate, yeah I'm finding that distracting myself it will be largely encased in papier-mache, I hope. Monday is looking like go-day. I may add more by then. There may be a couple of rivets also, in unconnected news, it is younger son's birthday Friday, and for one cake (minion) I've convinced the wife to cover the board in rivets! I even gave her a tutorial (sugarpaste + straw!) my work here is done

Excellent my friend, excellent!

this is the way to go...er...bake...cake...
also...where else are you allowed to add rivets as you please in context of modern cinema culture than with minions?...i rest my case^^

as participants in a League of Extraordinary Riveters contest, we are all entitled to a piece of the Minions riveted cake, are we not?

at the very least, we should get to see a picture of it...

I agree on both counts. In particular (paraphrasing a certain blue furry Sesame Street character) - me want cake!!!!

graven usually at least provides us with pics of cakes... his wife is an extra ordinary cake maker...
i fear tho a cake of these proportion wont travel that good^^

I will look forward to the photos then

have you read his blog yet? iirc he already showed quite a bit of them already there...

Any updates from Tek? Was really looking forward to seeing how his works out.

Good point! Tek's monumental progress got me in gear with mine. Come back Tek! We miss you

kind of surprised Tek didn't finish early...seems like his productivity is off the charts, normally.

I may have to make a few more cuts (for smaller pieces), but I think I'm a little bit off track... P-:

Love it trollmeat!

to call these bitz... bitz ... is an understatement...
some cool ones there for sure ...would also make a very interesting looking titan or other project...

what was that?

Old Stereo. Might leave one piece as pictured above with a fan in it, and cut the other part down.

lol... good eye to see terrain in all of that^^ respect!

Guys - reality calling
Now back in work.

Very very very nice work Tek. Love it.

Great idea that. Tek, you continue to knock this one out the park.

@Tek - awesome job! As has already been said - you nailed this one.

My WIP after last night:

Hope the lava effect comes through. Not disappointed for my first attempt, but couldn't seem to reduce the quantity of yellow without making it look like a block of red in places. I'll gloss over the lava when I get turps out of the garage (my gloss varnish is not water-based).

There's a couple of photos of layering stages in my terrain blog if anyone interested although I'm not convinced that they will fulfil anyone's lives that much

Although not participating in this contest, I am enjoying seeing all these ideas brought to life. Keep up the good work everyone!

Great work all. Loving the new techniques people are trying. All good.

Great to see people who are not in the comp commenting too, nice to know we have a wider audience. Helps us mad Riveteers push harder.

Actual progress!

We have an asteroid! Looking good!

rocks!

This is just the beginning thanks chaps. Astonishing how much mache you get through for a small area! All about the learning curve

We are all slaves to the learning curve! May he be forever steep and treacherous!

Some amazing pieces coming together here! Nailing the brief in such a varied and interesting way!

Good progress everyone.

Thanks Tek (I'll pretend you also sent me a PM).

Keep it up chaps, still plenty of time left.

I don't know what I'm doing. I have a billionty different little projects going at the moment, and I'm not sure what I will get completed before the deadline (for example, I wont be able to do anything for all of next week).

Would PVC pipe and the mesh from the dead stereo count as the 2 items?



I'll be painting those two vent things this weekend, but.... *shrugs*
