Well folks the Burgomeister's Mansion was completed at the weekend. I managed to get some final touches finished for Warhammer Fest Golden Demon 2014. I needed to add a title to the work so I came up with the idea of the Burgomeister sending Nagash a personal message saying, 'Nagash, we are ready, we are Ostland!' In the form of a small scroll sealed with wax.
I think it turned out well. I also like the fact that the Bugomeister with his body guard monkey is standing out front waiting for Nagash.
So here is the finished model just before packing it up for the 160 mile journey to Warhammer Fest.
I had to come up with a way to protect the model fort he journey so I turned it into a space marine drop pod.
Then added some bubble wrap for good measure
I left at 6am, drove for 3 hours and it made the journey without a scratch. I set it up at the venue and viewed the other enties, some outstanding work on show, unbelievable skills.
I entered the open competition as this was the only category I was eligible for. This was a toughy as this was the only category that GW staff could enter.
So the winners were announced at the end of the day and I was amazed to have one a bronze Golden Demon. This is the first time I have entered the Golden Demon and have to say that I am still buzzing from the result and probably will be for a very long time.
This was not only a victory for me but also for the community of this forum. Sure it sounds cheesy but it's true. Without all the encouragement and positivity I really don't think I would have managed to see the entire 5 year project through. I'm lucky to be a member of this forum. Thank you.
