Yup, like them all. Particularly the bulbous headed alien.

I put the first 4 sculpts into RTV moulds and got some casts knocked up yesterday - they need some chasing but these are the metal masters that will go towards making a production mould.



I'm gonna head back to the studio over the next couple of days and knock out a few more to get some painted test models ready, And finish the fifth sculpt of what will hopefully be a 5 sculpt mini range.

That's right, I painted one of my own casts!
I actually cast dozens of this chap and then melted them back down since I wasn't happy with the quality I was getting. In retrospect I may have been too hasty because now 6 months later he's painted and i think he looks quite good. but i have a terminal fear of selling a product I wouldn't be happy with so it's back into the moulding chamber for the master.

in the mean time here's frank the one eyed mutant gunslinger, fresh from the paint table and ready to blow holes in whatever he can see.











I'm pretty happy with him, he only has a quick paintjob but he's come out quite well.

He didn't - The moulds worked but I wasn't happy with the quality. they got bundled up during a move and now they're in my studio awaiting new moulds.

Another mess around with casting - Pressure cast resin, with the aim of producing more stuff.





These ones will be up for sale once kickstarter stuff is sent out next month hopefully.

I got a couple of things sculpted over the weekend - A new scribe to add to my sci fi civilians and a big heavy one eyed mutant with a massive gun.
I got the moulds made up the next morning, did some casting that afternoon and got the mutant painted in the evening.
He's my favourite of my own minis so far.
I've put him into my existing mutant warband of converted GW minis.

Fresh casts in delicious strawberry resin










With his buddies.

And a big shot of all the current miniatures I have moulds for that I have painted - The magician, Scribe, Big mutant, Ogre and space swordsman will be out soon.

More cool figures, and a very nice paint job on the mutant.  Once they're on your webstore, I can forsee me succumbing to temptation.
