or use the 'IMG code'.



Hope this helps.

Thanks! Hope it works now...

OMFG you posted your entire city in this post!!!
Took ages to load... maybe you should consider removing 80% of your photos and keeping only the interesting ones...

That's why I prefered links, but they didn't worked for some reason...

They look great man. Good job on creating a sweet city.

One thing that I think would add a lot to your buildings would be "wooden framing." A lot of Mordheim buildings have "wooden beams" (popsicle sticks or stirring sticks) on the corners and sides of the buildings.

I recommend looking at Stew's Scenery for ideas. He did a great job with wooden framing.

Thanks for all the pictures Vorror. =)

Thanks!

Some w.i.p factory:

Sweet man,

Looks great.

My only critique is about the wall in the second picture. If a normal wall get's destroyed at the bottom like that, the rest of the wall will fall down, now stay up by being connected by a window frame.

Good luck,

Factory done, by the way, I begun the work on my Cannibal Lizards warband, comming soon.

Erm... did I read this right? ... a "factory"? With a big "K-300"? written on a "silo"? With "green radioactive goo" pouring out? IN MORDHEIM?!

Don't you think that's a tiny bit anachronistic? That looks much more like a 40K piece of scenery to me, which should really not be standing in a medieval town.

But congratulations on your city! It's really big now. Looks like you have enough to play.

Just one last question if I may: CANNIBAL LIZARDS??!?! (Is anyone else thinking "wtf?!" right now?)

I was thinking "steam punk" while working on the piece, I guess I went to far....

Here's the first soldier in the warband:

Aaaah that explains it Hmmm... I guess it is not entirely false to qualify the Warhammer world as "steampunk" (after all there are steam tanks... ). But your scenery is more "cyberpunk" to me. Well, just a matter of taste I guess

Cheers!

PS: On a sidenote, when I think of steampunk (and I LOVE steampunk) I think more of this type of thing:

Did you draw these, Tom ?

AMEN! I really can't wait to figure out how to make some sweet steam punk Scenery for my Mordheim board (it'll probably come after most of my town is done.... in 3 years...)

And on that same subject, I found this sweet album of Great steampunk ideas/terrain. It's a mad scientist's lab, but I figure it great ideas.

Inspired by Tom's post, Zeppelin.

verry original terain, some nice ideas

And now painted:

It looks good, but I'm not going to lie: It looks like a bottle and a cup glued onto cardboard.

What you need to do is hide what it actually is with a different texture. The ripples in the cup and Bottle give it away. I'd recommend getting spackle or thick paint, and filling in those gaps so it looks more like a smooth surface.

Enjoy,

Hmmm... actually I have to agree with Ash.

Although I think your idea was really good, I'm afraid the materials used are too obvious.
As Ashton said: It really looks like what it is made of. It's more a Coke bottle than a Zeppelin, sorry

Alright, enough criticism, let's see how we can improve your model.

1) Using a coke bottle to make the body of the zeppelin is a good idea, but get rid of everything that reminds of a bottle, i.e. cut off the bottle neck and get rid of the cap! Find a way to make a round "nose" for your zeppelin. As Ashton said: cover the ripples with filler.

2) The passenger cabin should be more detailed. Think "building" rather than "box". Give it windows, a railing, a platform...

3) Look at historical pics of Zeppelins. Get inspiration.

4) Zeps usually had more than one huge propeller! Why? For steering. You cannot build a functional zeppelin that steers like a plane. The huge helium body prevents that.

You have to realise how ambitiious your project is. Building a Zeppelin is REALLY REALLY time consuming, albeit rewarding. You should either give it at least a month of construction, or maybe start with something simpler to get a little more experience.

Good luck!

PS: Oh and PLEASE PLEASE make a base that has texture (use PVA+Sand). Just plain cardboard is really ugly
