Post by: Andy0476 on March 27, 2011, 09:38:52 AM: Indeed two entries with models painted to a very good standard. I think it will break down to the importance of scenery in the picture and what models the voters like best.

Great work from both!

Post by: gamer Mac on March 27, 2011, 10:29:14 AM: Two very nice entries.
The steam tank really suits the ladies.
Is it scratch built? If so you will need to post a WIP thread of how you made it. After the round is over of course :D

Is that a VSF version of the Hummer? ;)

It is indeed scratch built, I was in such a hurry I didn't think to take WIP shots- but I have started the chassis and components for six more o_o
I was strapped for time and could only complete one, along with the figures, by the deadline. That doesn't bode well for the others getting done within my lifetime.

Post by: Fire Broadside! on March 27, 2011, 05:35:20 PM: Those are indeed some amazing water effects! How did you go about making them? Oh, and the painting ain't too shabby either. ;)

Two solid entries, but my vote goes to the ships (and rotten whales).
Title: Re: ROUND 3 Leibhusaren Nr.2 vs Withering Plague
Post by: Admiral Benbow on March 27, 2011, 05:56:37 PM: Excellent design on the Leibhusaren vehicle, and excellent handling of the galleys and water effects.
:-* :o
Now what to do ...? o_o

Post by: Thantsants on March 27, 2011, 10:04:36 PM: Having had a stab at little ships and sea bases I can appreciate the skill gone into those rotten triremes!

Not to detract from the brilliance of the Germans!

Post by: Burgundavia on March 28, 2011, 05:57:02 AM: My guess for the water is paper towels or some sort of other paper product. Look at the way it bunches and flows near the bow of the largest ship.

Thanks everyone!

Burgundavia, you are spot on!
I used toilet paper! (don't misread, I did NOT use used toilet paper!!! ;D)

Rip it up in chunks, stick it on with a mix of PVA and water and push it in ripples with something like sculpting tools!
Not too hard, great effect and easy to paint!

@Dr Mathias:crackingly nice VSF entry, I love it! I'm a sucker for steamtanks and this one is great! Congrats!

Post by: Pil on March 28, 2011, 01:49:05 PM: Two brilliant entries with excellent painting on both! The scratchbuilt steam tank almost won my vote but after I caught myself almost shopping for those rotten ships I had to admit to myself which entry I really preferred, excellent bases too, and zombie whales... what's not to love? :D

Now I must modify bases of my entire Man O'War collection
Thanks for that >:( lol

Had I realized those were zombie whales, I may have voted differently...

Hmmm...you're actually right! If you don't know they're part of an undead army it doesn't really stand out as zombie whales... ::)
Maybe some more gore or transfer some of that green to the whales?! ???

You've got me thinking now! o_o

;)

(@the Captain: Froggy would like to review his vote please! lol)

That's really cool, and it doesn't sound too tricky. Makes me want to get that Shroud Mage fleet that I've been eyeing ... :)

Post by: Hawkeye on March 28, 2011, 11:35:45 PM: Brilliant steam tank - scratch-built and painted to such a high standard, that's what tipped it for me, but it was another very close match-up, despite the very different models. Excellent work in both!

SIX more? :o 8) lol

Fantastic! Please make sure you post a WIP thread for those. They are a great design and you did a wonderful job on the prototype!

Thank you, good luck to you as well!

I think a lot of people, including myself, learned something from your entry- thanks for sharing your technique.
