more of my WIP:

weathering the car (front half only, yes it's on purpose)



And the final coat:



Here's my mockup for the whole piece:


I found a piece of art canvas I'd forgotten I'd bought. they're perfect for this. To be done is figure out how to age the chrome and "glass" windshield on the front of the car, top coat the whole car - maybe gloss the back? or a satin finish. Since it's supposed to look "new".

Then I'm going to start with colours, vegetation, other stuff (as yet to be determined!) and flock on the "Earth side". (It's suppposed to be the Great Breach for Malifaux)

Dents and cracks would be good ways for what you are going for...I like your idea...this will be quite original

Agreed, some general crud and dings needed.

drool!

^i know!! Just remember to comment etc to be in with a chance of winning some

@ thx guys for comments. I'm glad for it.
hmm, I start with damaged phone, but building this is total safe.(terrain is from foam, so nice soft for phone)
Shame is, it fit dimensions of one phone. If I want use another type(or bigger), must build new one
progress...

And what is best, portal content can look how you want

somehow the minion version is the most scary one...

love your multi layered work on the arcs and columns

truth lol

love the fluted look of the columns/support!

Right, this comp has really gone to the next level... Great work all round

progress...

°o°...

Guild, loving the car-between-worlds, but I do have concerns regarding parking permits in that situation. I'll let you hash that one out.

Meanwhile, I had some beers and did a thing with green stuff, toothpicks, and backyard rock/texture stamp. Yes, it's safe for work.



Going to take a while to do the entire thing, so I'll just re-surface when I have something new to contribute.

Cheers

Tek, That is some mighty fine foam cutting. Wow. or better yet,

@TheEyeOfNight - great progress, every day waiting, how it come further. Infinity mirror is perfect efect.

@Viktor von Domm, Red Harverst - thx guys

sculpting complete, black basecoat finish, start drybrushing...

man... top notch foam masonry and high tech... my own feeble attempts are doomed...

^^ I hear that o.O wow, Tek, that's amazing!

Well remember it's about pushing yourself and your abilities. Don't get me wrong the tech is awesome, varied and imaginative but it's about how you bring the whole package to the table at the end.

now is closer to my idea.
I make video, so you can see, how it works.
Sorry for non HD camera and crap sound on backbround
(When i work on it, looking on film, weird camera have too good microphone )

I'm jumping in late since I just found out about this!

Going to put together something once I clear out a few projects from the bench. Initial plans are to make something for the Warmachine Cryx fans since that's been on the back burner for a while, now seems a good time to give it a go!

Tentative ideas to match the theme are:

Cryx Necrotite pump (for the liquidised form of necrotite obviously :p) [[theme elements being the bottomless pit into the earth]]
Cryx Mine Entrance [[theme obvious]]
Cryx Tunnel (with removable top and lots of green glowy studded walls and pipes and bits) [[portal cause it's a tunnel }}


I see lots of good stuff already! Thanks for the invite Red Harvest

Great to have you aboard!

Well i pushed it, some wip shot...

My wife says that all it needs is a flatscreen

That's some sexy black marble

I keep vacillating on what to do, of course...as usual. Still wanna make a vault entrance but now I'm trying to work it into my city. But the problem with that is that if it's in the city it's probably behind a more conventional door first. Bah, we'll see.

Keep getting distracted by all of these pretty and flashy high tech portals

thanks, thats red hardwood, wanted to do rustic rock but then hard edges would not work.

That is seriously cool. Would you mind showing how you do marble sometime? I love the look but never figured out a technique

daaamn Kingpin you just won the thread that looks purdy!

Its actually very easy, i sprayd it black, and have two brushes, ( im ambedecsturioz(sorry dont know how to spell it) but with one thin brush you do a little line and then just time it to smudge it with a brouder brush till it blends in, go over the entire piece you doing. Then start again , this time you dont smudge it in that much. I used rustoleum 2x ultra cover paint and primer satin canyon black in the tin and dor the veins i used game colour "cold grey" any grey would suffice depending on the marble effect you aiming for, im no pro at this, this is my first attempt at this...i had a chat with the chairman of the closest gaming shop and he gave me the tips

After getting the sprue part and the marbling effect here is where i stand

Not often I get to say this, but 'PAINT IN PROGRESS' update...

What did you use for the textured area on the base?

That's just a piece of textured plasticard

looking good Ruglud!

love the sprue idea Kingpin that's awesome
