Warhammer (Military Modelling) competition entries

[Rick_1138]

Hi folks,

Been a fair while since I was to be found around the forum. Many reasons for absence but thought I would appear with a wee update as to what I am working on just now.

It is for the national golden demon painting competition run by Games workshop.

I have decided to try for 3 entries this year in the vehicle (tank), Diorama (desert) and Large Miniature (jungle).

Main ideas were to do a dug in tank as the last line of defence in an urban battle, ala the last days of berlin and panzer chassis buried in the earth., so I came up with this:








I had an idea to use a scout vehicle I had fancied for a while, so came up with a small scene with the scout buggy, some snipers and a despatch rider on a sort of alien horse\elephant thing. Its basically done bar the despatch rider:



And finally as a wildcard entry I am doing an alien monster (think Alien film) sitting in a jungle scene. First time I have used paper plants and was impressed, just moss covered stones and more undergrowth\deadfall to do.





Lots still to do, then I have to try and get it all through airport security!

Looking good man- see you there!

I'm going the other way- making a Super Hellcat for a mate of mine I'll pop down to see after the event. Are you doing both days?

No just down on the sunday. Flying down on sat and home Monday morning. Golden Demon is just being held on the sunday.

Hi Rick- I saw the buggy, it looked even better in the flesh! Couldn't get close enough for a decent phot, so I just drooled instead...
