This is my Doomsday device, I was thinking about some mad (or brilliant) scientist who had been collecting old magical standing stones,
then made some kind of amplifying device controlled by a Mi-Go Brain cylinder driven computer (is 1920-30ish CPU I guess o_o).

Its not painted yet, but what do you think? should I proceed? any ideas for making it better?
-
What a great idea!
I was thinking about doing something similar - only having copper bands wrapped around the stones, hooked up to a machine with wires, etc...
What did you use to create your stones?
-
Stones are from Fenris games.
Metal Orb are Ghalgast from Warmachine
Computer is from some vendor at a show.
Mi-Go brain canister is from Black Cat miniatures.
-
Very original idea there, Bergh.
Love it!
:-*
-
That's really nice looking, Bergh.
Were you able, put a dial wheel on the back of the device numbered 0-9 and an "on/off" dial. That would allow you to keep track of things right on the device.
In any event, it looks very sharp! Well done!
-
Great idea superflytnt, my creative mind is working in overdrive to figure out how to do that, im not sure I can figure out how to do it though.

A small nail with a large head can act as the post; simply drill into the back of the computer with a small drill/pin vise to the same size as the nail. For the wheel, you can use plasticard...just take a washer, lay it on plasticard (or whatever) and use an x-acto knife to cut it. Then just paint/label it however you want.
Do the same thing but on a smaller wheel with just on/off listed on it. That's how I did it on mine, although mine is a little less pretty ;)
-
Now that is a wicked doomsday device!
Top top work Bergh
-
Love it.
-
8) lovely work. I wish I owned it :)
-
Very nice. Xmas tree light bulbs could be a useful addition.......
-
Nice work!
-
Great idea, looks really good. What line is the figure from?
-
Very nice!
-
Great idea and well executed!
-
Looks great!
I also think you need something (wires/cables etc) to show the harnessing of the standing stones ancient powers to the device.
-
I agree, some wires and bulbs would it look even cooler than it already is.
-
Thanks for the very positiv respons! because of that I have moved my Doomsday Device on first position in the painting queue.
I Think the orb is going to be copper, the computer white, and the stones in different shades, from dark grey to almost white, to resemble that its a collection of stones from different places, and will make it look more sinister. The big cable on the ground im going to paint red I think, I haven't decided yet.
Great idea, looks really good. What line is the figure from?
In an earlier post I make of list of components, the scientist miniature is a Foundry miniature (ripper something), with a little conversion work.
-
Wonderful!!! ;D
-
The proposed colour scheme sounds about right to me, Bergh.
Looking forward to seeing it finished.
-
Must not have seen the post about the mini. Thanks for the info Bergh.

Done Painting, and made some tree along with it.

Those trees look spectacular, and the doomsday device as well.
-
Great work, Burgh.
:-*
I really do need to do one of my own, and this is another example of great inspiration.
Those tree are great too, I have had my eyes on those for a while.
Must resist........
-
I've posted on the other thread, but now I must add that the more I see both things, the more I like them.
(I mean both works, not talking about the girl on the second pic, though it was possible)
-
Love that Doomsday device!! But I specially like the trees, they are scary!! :o ;D
