Cracking builds, both of them, and they both are very original as well!

Well played, both of you! 

[Blackwolf]

They are!

[LordOdo]

I like the outcome of the UFO! Curious to see if you will paint the unbroken one in the same colourscheme!

I agree, two interesting and original builds.

[AKULA]

 Very different builds, with different approaches to weathering 

[Sinewgrab]

Spiff!

[Captain Blood]

Fabulous, really.

The slime and gloop in McMordain's entry is beautifully done.

Have to say though, I think the carousel may just be my favourite piece from the whole field of entries. It is just such a fecking simple but ingenious idea. I mean, what better use for wargames horses? And the weathering is perfect. It's not the most technically accurate of entries, but it's just so wonderfully evocative and tells such a story, from such a simple little creation. I love it.

You made me blush there, Captain, grtting such a compliment from one the most inspiring members on LAF.

I actually planned the carousel to be more technically (mechanic) challenging, but I didn't manage to make it motorised in time. I may still do that, but for now it can go round, and the horses go up and down when it does go round. And that's more than I had expected beforehand

[Bearwoodman]

The vivid colours and general dank swampiness in the UFO build is great! It hints at a story, but can clearly be a useful bit of sci-fi scatter terrain for general gaming.
l find the carousel really creepy. It looks so neglected and filthy, and I half expect that clown from It to appear any moment.
Great work both of you!

[Swordisdrawn]

Both really good. The carousel is so spooky

[McMordain]

I have to agree with the others, that carousel is really creepy. I would not want to go near it on a misty night Great job.

I may still do that, but for now it can go round, and the horses go up and down when it does go round. And that's more than I had expected beforehand

That sounds cool, I would like to see a video about it moving.

As for my own creation, I took the picture before the water effect cured properly. I added some phosphorescent paint to the water effect, that is why it is white in the lower right corner. I really liked that milky effect. Unfortunately once it dried the whiteness was gone and it became transparent. Apparently the phosphorescent pigments sank to the bottom, while the rest became transparent... I have to experiment some more with it, this was the first time I used a water effect.

I like the outcome of the UFO! Curious to see if you will paint the unbroken one in the same colourscheme!

That is the current plan, though it is a long way away from painting

These entries really tell a story of abandonment.   Love them both.  Voting is so hard...
