Size is not really an issue with 40K stuff. Just say it's a bunker for Dreadnaughts  :thumbsup:
Next time, try making a larger difference between corner bricks. Ideally, you should fold them in a 1/3 2/3 split (much like the rear seat of a hatchback then!) and alternate long and short sides up the wall - this is how real bricks work.
You might want to bevel the edges of the base, that way it looks like an organic part of the table, rather than something just plunked down on top.

Oh, and it kicks the butt out of my first 40K building...
There are no good kits, bad kits or grail kits, just kitbash fodder.

well i am still learning from the great grot , i know my base edge should have  been angled and i just cut a big strip of cardboard(ritz crackers) to make the corner bricks i thought i would keep it simple for my first.

as for my chopice of beer , this is what i have  and it makes me happy!!! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I've started a reader's gallery on TFH - do you want your work displayed there?

Looks good to me mate - gotta remember, not all 40k figures are created the same, better to make your bunker a bit big, than risk your character not fitting inside!

arkon

thanks all, gonna try some more in a couple of days.
PW-if you think its good enough i would be glad to see it in your forum!!! thanks!
