Grekwood DOD 2008
« on: October 25, 2008, 07:10:08 PM »
ok....

there were lots and lots of pics so i grouped a few of them together and scaled the file down to around 350kb rather than the several mbs that the single photos take up.... i can post bigger individual pics if you want... i might anyway now theres this thread :shrug: question do we need to still email photos or just post them here now  :huh?:


right, so my DOD is pretty much self explanatory i hope   :erm: basically a team have just gone through the gate to meet a tiny welsh alien who has asked for their help  :lol:

WIP seen here

ok  :erm: (you might see some blue tac holding the minis, this is because i want to rebase them after and also want to use the steps and gate for games, so i didn't want to pin them down  :shrug:

Nice one Grek, well thought out little scene you have there. Your painting has also come on in leaps and bounds and i like the statues that kinda match Newton. The best part is definately that Stargate though, that's a cracking piece of model making!  :applause:

 :applause: Excellent  :applause:

Nice and simple, but saying quite a lot. That Stargate's very cool. Are the symbols random, or have you actually worked a message into them?

 :applause: Nice work Grek !  :applause:

did anyone spot the camouflaged banana hiding in the trees  :angel:


Rather than just copying the dotted chevron symbols straight from the Atlantis stargate, i decided to do my own, you can't really see them clearly enough but i remember doting G R E K W O O D and D O D in there and the rest were just random dotted letters like Y U and H F B S etc i don't think i did bananas  :lol:

Nice one Grek, well thought out little scene you have there. Your painting has also come on in leaps and bounds and i like the statues that kinda match Newton. The best part is definitely that Stargate though, that's a cracking piece of model making!  :applause:

the statues i found in the gift shop at Caldicot castle and thought i've got put them in my DOD pictures  :lol:

The Stargate was very stressful to make, and i almost gave up, and even though it's not an accurate Stargate and not as good as i had in visioned, i'm quite pleased with it.

Hi Gareth

thank you  :lol:

Nice work!

Really gives a Stargate 'feel' and your scratch built stargate is really nice.

Congrats on finishing, nice job!

Excellent stuff, Grek! Nice scene, well laid out, definitely some "mad construkshun skillz" on that Stargate and by far and away your best paintjobs on here to date. Cracking!

As a Stargate fan I must say that I like this DOD a lot! It really looks like the tv series, and the story is very self-explanatory, which is what a diorama should be all about.
For a first diorama you've been ambitious, and you've lived up to the expectations. Job's a good un! :applause:

I'll check with the boss man tomorrow about the sending of pix. I doubt we will need it as it means everyone can see what has been entered. just saves on the email sending.
