I've got two hopes of finishing my entry - one of those is 'Bob'...

My hobby life for the next 8 weeks is solely dedicated to the world of costumes - namely Ironman (for my son) and a Stormtrooper (for me). I'm fairly certain though that what I was going to build will resurface in another round of this comp...

Costumes... or Cosplay? Do try and finish your entry Ruglud. You've still plenty of time.

I am almost done....

a couple things I'm trying to complete - signage out front, soe small items etc

Should make it, as the bulk of the work is done now.

crosses fingers.

Assuming I don't get the flu. Again.

Ugh, I feel ya Guilden..we got some form of some virus this weekend. Went from sore throat to headache and fever to gallons of snot...no fun and not productive time...hope you and everyone stays well

For scale (and leftover bitz) purposes, I just built the Fortified Manor kit. My cardboard concoction is completely out of scale.

I'd go back to the drawing board, but it's just too late

Your lego cup for your pens/tools is awesome.

Lego is the supreme stuff holder

Rivetting times:

I'm a bit late to jump in on this, but it's great to see all the creativity, and it got bumped at just the right time - when we got a good look at the new deathworld terrain.

A quick scribble for a type of venus mantrap:



And the card:

Just to show you lot that I am still mingling and mugging about...I give you "turds"tm....




Of course a mere Base coat, and I am atm working on more appropriate look^^

Cheers, vik

Vik, good progress. Is that a purple basecoat? Intriguing...

Vermis, welcome aboard. I am 100% positive that you can do better than the new The Games Workshop™ Deathworld® terrain. Conveying something organic using cardboard sounds very interesting, and a bit challenging.

Indeed. Legos have many uses beyond firing a child's imagination.

Heh, thanks- It's actually molded together, and quite waterproof.

inmygravenimage, keep going! You can do eeeet!

Vermis, welcome to the party. There's still time, go go go!

Viktor von Domm, looking good.

My own progress is stalled. Not for lack of desire, but outside complications. (Work, and other drama.) I am determined to carve out some time to finish. I will finish. I owe it to the little Grots. They need somewhere to sleep.

Aggggh! Hit the jackpot dumpster diving at my local art store. Found stacks and stacks of 2-5mm card and a bunch of heavy weight paper, metallic cardstock and a stack of foamboard...right after the card terrain competition is over.

Ready for next time :p

Over? You've got 9 days?! Although I'm going to struggle to finish painting for then

Haha typo - right after my entry is finished :p

Also, you can doooo itttttttt

I hope so, but I won't be able to get primed till Wednesday at the earliest...

Is there a difference? Searching for cosplay brings up all sorts of images (many being NSFW)

Some great work though going on in here, this round is really pushing folk to further their terrain making techniques it seems

I have a mid-term exam on the 27th. That's awkward. I knew that was coming up, but it was one of those 'back of my mind' things. Figured I had another week. When I'm not studying I guess I'll be painting. Hope the wife understands.

Those plants are neat. I do think Death World forests is a cool concept, hopefully we'll see more really cool alien plants.

The bridge is coming along with bullet holes, the odd skull, and bits of trash being added. I'm breaking out a piece of sprue I've been saving because it is cool:



It is going to be a lattice of pipe on the side.

@Red Harvest - indeedy Legos are awesome - they make excellent caltrops for burglars (seriously, it's like.. the only room in our house that didn't get robbed a couple years ago when we were broken into)
@Vermis - oooh looking sweet - did you draw that?? It's awesome! I have to say I do NOT like the Death World Forest models :( and I usually love all GW Terrain. I'd rather have something like you drew!
@Terrain Walker - omg dude you literally gave my heart a jump scare >< I'm still trying to finish my entry up lmao

All looking amazing, great use of materials being seen, and such a great variety.

@TW that is typical.

@ all those still slogging on, take heart, if you need a little extra time, this is a possibility. We can discuss this over the next couple days.

I could certainly do with an extra week, tbh, though the cupola has begun:

Trying something completely new for the painting of this: to achieve layered, peeling rust, there is no primer and just a base coat of orange. It's painted black inside the transparent plastic and I'm gong to start layering over. No idea if it will work but, hey, that's what we're here for, eh? One has to push oneself I'm going to try some salt weathering on the main tower, also.

Apparently, yes. Here's a bit of an explanation courtesy of Adam Savage

Looking forward to seeing the finished pieces. There are some ambitious and nice looking pieces in the works. Don't toss in the towel.

Progress!








Just keep painting, just keep painting, just keep painting, painting, painting...

Very nice Cleatus!! Love it

I so need to do some ork terrain.

After my remaining swamp pieces. My malifaux western stuff. My dwarf stuff..... arrrgh so little time so many ideas!!

Err, and how long do we have now??

I'm almost done, trying to put finishing touches on but it's not quite where I want it ><

So much promise in that piece Cleatus, great work.

Great work from everyone.

Well I need your feedback, I do not want anyone to relax or step off the gas, but does anyone have an issue with the comp going until next Sunday night Midnight, (05/03/2017) That would give people a full week with 2 weekends to finish up. I like to finish on a weekend.

Need your thoughts on this.

That would certainly help mine is now primed and started but RL went utterly to crud last week (bloody kids) so any hope that I'll be done this weekend is slim.

Yes, that would be helpful.
