Materials WIP, pretty basic stuff. Gonna make a promethium refinery
On the ceiling apparently as I can't make the photo turn the right way up

Ohh very cool, inflatable love badger =) hope you can get it down from the ceiling :p

Tentatively wading in. I'm not sure what exactly all this is going to be, but in honor of receiving my Maelstrom's Edge box, I'm thinking some sort of Cybel Energy Storage Plant.

The little white plastic bit (container for some model trees) could make nice storage tanks.

I'm still new to the hobby as a whole and I haven't done a single piece of terrain yet, but I'll definitely lurk throughout this event. I move back to school in three days, so time for much hobbying is going to disappear.

I'm starting to feel bad. My recycling bin has been rather bland the past few weeks. Your find are making me jealous

Right. Well, I'm in. I have an idea, although I'm recycling old terrain (amongst other things) to make new. Slightly bending league rules but hey. It'll motivate me to finish!

That's a lovely piece of cardboard/filler whatever you call that kinda stuff. Love the shapes!

@inmygravenimage adding you now!

It... Begins...!

Initial mock-up, courtesy of some foamcore and random leftover bathroom tiles left here by the previous tenant.

That is looking very promising.

Really cool looking piece there!

I have made a start on my piece .... "The Sprue Rod!" .... I know... catchy name eh!

Ot the basic chassis put together and a rig for the axles! Not much to look at yet ... but have plans!

Cheers All,

Cam has hauled me in, tentatively. I need a break from painting orcs so maybe I'll knock some terrain together. The plan will be for it to be relatively small and unassuming, as letting my idea(s) get too big was partially what had me drop out of the last comp.

Not sure what yet. I've got to finish batch painting these 13 orcs and then I'll give it a good think. Either modern, fantasy, or scifi...

getting excited! lots of promising pieces already

And I'll add you too Grimdork! Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Took a break from painting orcs. Going with a rustic/dilapidated cabin to start. If I get that done I may add some scatter or other bits. Will need other bits because so far it's just scratch and not so much recycle...the windows are reused I guess.

Bits gathering a-plenty:

Cake board, CD holder, pen lid, blind clips, door parts, dead zone rails, piece of cod flooring, MDF offcuts, cable tidy, etc. In my head, it makes sense.
For the complete piece, I'm also recycling some old, broken, half finished cod terrain:

These aren't part of loer contest entry, but add to overall batman board and give context.

Well I found the first stuff to recycle, a broken angle grinder disc thing and a piece of plastic that I picked up on a building site, thinking of a kinda altar thingy

So here's the house with all of the exterior done. Need to source a chimney. May look to junk first and end up with something round over a square brick affair as most junk would be round.

Then a floor. Should the floor be done in the same style as the walls?

Lookin good guys!! love to see the collections =D

@Grimdork - you could do a stone floor mebbe?

Stone would certainly be simpler. Maybe some paper printed rugs for certain situations.

I feel like I ought to be able to make something from this... But I'm not yet sure what.

Thinking maybe http://andberlin.com/teufelsberg-2010/

You've got a sphere, a can of Citadel paint, and your dreams. Go forth and be majestic.


Meanwhile, personal progress check: class is starting, so I tried to get as much work in over the weekend as I could, since things are likely to slow down now. Added cork around the cardboard structure, and overlayed that with a thick layer of rubble paste. Once it dries I'll get into the painting process.

Still only a vague idea of what I'm going to do for the interior. Crossing that bridge later.

That Leadbelcher is very very dead. Just there for scale.
I was thinking of trimming the square, running thread/cord around to make that panelling, and then when I do some casting, running spare liquid resin around inside the dome for strength.

It's only chocolate packaging, it will bruise eventually.

Exciting stuff gang!

Had an idea after watching the suicide squad trailer:

Yup, light up vat!

@ TheEyeofNight- that's just begging for a sacrificial altar in there- maybe with some sarcophagi in the niches of the walls.

Work continues...

Looking good, Graven. I've never played around with liquid effects, what do you have in mind to fill the vat?

Escape Pod Crash

I started with some packaging from work and a plastic coke bottle.


Then after some styrene, bits and the box from my Valkyrie I got this.



Thats all for now, its good to be at it again.

OK some pretty amazing work going on here, really great stuff guys, excellent ideas all around....

I think I have started on mine.

From this....


To this...


And adding a little more...


Going to keep building until the final bell...more in my Other things blog...

Keep at it all, looking forward to this...

Stuff's looking great team!

Whatever I have lying about Given that whenever I'm doing league stuff I only use what I have to hand, it'll be PVA on a plastic lid, with the underside of the lid painted (probably) to allow the light to shine through.

More progress. Blood sacrifice made to God of new scalpel Blades.

Here is my random collection of 'useful' bits. Terrain is one of the things I have basically zero of, so the contest will be some good motivation to put something together.
