Defensive Position - CW Street corner

[TRM]

Hello again fellas!!

Yup, at it again!!! This time I have a Celticwerks base I confiscated!!

Rob had done such a nice review on the piece I decided to steall the piece before he could finish it and see what I could do!!! Remember, possesion is 9/10ths of the Law.

A quick recap of what is being used.

The base....








This is a great piece!!! Available from Celticwerks at www.celticwerks.net/products/

Price: Item number CWSo12, $25.00 USD plus shipping. Inquire at [e-mail]

Back to the build....

When I snagged this from Rob, he had begun to paint the brick....very nice, sice this is one less step!! ;D







Now it's my turn....

I picked up some new paint and began to mix.



Thinning the paint to wash consistancy



Randomly I applied the different colors like the wwhites and lighter brick shading. Basically mixed a number of the base colors with white and blacks to give me the tones.



I repeated this with the darker colors as well.





Next came a light wash to the concrete for starters.





After highlighting the cobblestone and stone work on the sidewalk, this is where its at for the moment.









By now I think you know that I am never "just finished"...a lot more to come soon!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!!

T- its looking really good so far and I will be following!

But "flavor of the moment?"

I think you meant "Wave of the future". ;D ;D

[TRM]

Thanks Multi!!! ;D

Steve...I stand corrected...LOL!!! Thanks for stopping in!!!

More to come soon! The camera battery just died!!

[spud]

i really need to get somne of these bases

[TRM]

You can't go wrong with any one of these from Celticwerks!!! My next one wants to be the uneven road section!!!

A little update.

I gave a light wash to the entire sidewalk with AK Brown Blue Wash. I then applied light costs of Panzer Grey Streaking grime and Kurks Earth Effects to different stones and finally some Streaking Grime as a sort of pin wash to the joints between the stonework and some staining on the wall.









More layer to come!!!

Thanks for having a LQQY!!

[`Boots`]

Brilliant work once again `T` ;D, that looks fabulous fella!!

[spud]

meh.... looks good T this defo a peice i want even if its just for the painting weathering

[TRM]

Thanks Chris!!! Yeah, I think its something in the translation. Cool color though!! ;D

Thanks boss!!! Love this piece!!! Still plenty to go on this one!!!

Thanks Boots...glad to have you along!!!

Thanks spud!!! So much you can do with these!! There are a few of Steve's "werks" going in right now and the possibilities seem endless!!!


Laying down a clear coat, might actually do some building and then a wash in there somewhere....I will keep you posted!!

[paulh]

Very nice indeed T, I particularly like the tones in the paving-stones

[Deleted]

mack

[TRM]

Thanks Chris!!! I have and do sir!! Just working some AK this time around and seeing what I can do with ti!!

Thanks Paul, glad you like it!!

Thanks for stopping by Mack!!!



A little more progress...

I began to play around with some little additions to help bring this one to light. Last night I dug into some white stuff and scratched out a window.





Of course you can't have a broken window without some glass. The top left pane is Krystal Klear (still drying) The other pieces are plastic from a blister pack of finish nail for one of my nail guns.





Next I began adding some more to the sidewalk. Using AK's European Dust pigment I began "filling in".





You can see I added some paint to the window.





Using some tongue depressors I cut up from framing timber and had at it to add some destruction to the inside.





That's it for the moment. Back at it a little later on today!!!

[406 Silverado]

That's what I'm talking about . Fantastic work T.

[spud]

Looks great T

[stevereid]

T-
love the window and the added rubble inside! That is how you make it your own.

Really well done! Steve

[bigjohn]

Fantastic work T, Really nice job on this brotha!

[TRM]

Thank you gentlemen!! These are great little pieces....very little to build and a whole bunch to paint and weather!!!!

Thanks for stopping by again, hope to have some more later on!!!

[TRM]

Thanks for stopping by jackwagon!!! Got a couple ideas and one of which I pulled out a little while ago....a fig! I will have to see how it goes together 1st!!

[TRM]

No Dicky...she has her own pad!!

Here is what I am thinking....



I picked up the set at the last show for $4.50 USD, nice bargain. I am confident it will be the 3rd dude from the left.



Little bit of a seam to fill.



I chopped off the hands and made some extensions to the wrist/arms.



I hollowed out the sleeves and the collar.





I extended the neck a little in the same fashion as the hands as well. Here is what I am seeing.





The head is a little more movable for the moment. Need to decide what I like better.





Not sure what I am thinking working on two figs at the same time but I will roll with it!!

Thanks for stopping by and having a peek!!

[spud]

Oh neat idea, I like when he has his head looking down he sight

[TRM]

Thanks spud! Think that was the push to go with the pose!! I like it too!!! Now I just need to get my S*%T together and get it done!!

[eastrock]

T, the concept looks great!
love the work buddy!

[Wes]

Just caught up on this T. Stunning work on the base so far mate.

I look forward to more.

[406 Silverado]

Nice work on the fig so far T. I think a fig standing behind him and the wall would also look cool....just a thought.

[TRM]

Thanks gents!!! Appreciate the comments!!

Thinking that would look nice Rob!!! Standard 2 x 2 (dman, another fig ) ;D

[spud]

that space by the window looks very empty and for some reason to add a bit of scray reality to it a teddybear would be that thing. but of course its your dio ;D

[TRM]

Thanks spud/Chris! Not done yet...still got a ideas. Bear would be a nice tough...we'll see!! I am not sure I have a fig with the Panzerfaust but it not impossible to scrath either. Let me get another fig together and decide!!

Tahnsk for stopping by!!
