Another day, another monster.

I'm starting to feel like an evil overlord or maybe a mad wizard cackling away in his laboratory😁

This one was fairly easy to make and if anyone were to tell me they wanted to have a go at sculpting a monster I think I'd recomend they try to make a Grell.

So...

Session one, take an aluminum foil ball, stick it on a paperclip, cover it with milliput and roughly sketch in where you want things to go.


Now I would also recomend you pause here to let the milliput harden but as I am an impatient gith...

... do as I say, not as I do...

...so I immediately added the beak.

I also decided to make the tentacles seperately as it's much simpler to form them ahead of time, and then attach them once they are fully cured, than to try and support them when they are dangling from a figure all soft and stretchy like.



Session two,

Stick a blob of putty on the bottom and jamm all those tentacles in then draw a bunch of lines on it with your sculpting tool to make the blob look like the hairs / frills on the bottom of the Grell's body.(see I told you it was much simpler this way.)

Next it was a simple matter of rolling up a bunch of tiny saussages and laying them down in a kind of brain looking pattern.



Et voila, Grell's your uncle!

And a quick pic with our helpfull friend the Splintered light beastman for size.




Another monster done, back to the Monster Manual for more! Muhahahahah!!!


Cheers,

Stroezie.

Man, this is so cool. Love the sculpts, they are just fantastic.

How does the foil do for bulking out a sculpting frame? Does it resist being pushed around pretty well?

Thanks guys, I'm really having fun making these.

If you crimp it down nice and tight it doesn't even budge at all and the crumpeled up texture makes a great surface for the green stuff to grip on to.

Thanks! I'm going to have to give that a shot. It is a great way to bulk out some bigger sculpts without just packing it with putty. Not sure why I've never thought of this before!

 When I got back from the holidays I found a package from Battle Valor Games waiting for me.

There were a bunch of sculpts in his lines which I really liked but I was a bit hesitant as I kept running in to various forum posts saying the minis were really big for 15mm.

After much hemming and hawing I decided to just take the plunge and see and well, some of them are and some of them are not.

As I paint them I'll include pictures with models from other manufacturers so you can judge for yourselves.

Here's the first ones, four dwarves from the dwarven character pack.



And here they are alongside some Demonworld dwarves.



I also painted my own sculpts from the previous posts.

The Grell



and the Carrion Crawlers



And off course I couldn't resist throwing together a little scene,
It would seem my new dwarves have run into a little spot of trouble while exploring a newly discovered mushroom forest.
Luckily they brought along their steam golem to help clear the path.



Cheers,
Stroezie.

I've been returning to my Conan project lately so...

Surely such a mighty warrior as you need not fear a soft female such as me.
Why don't you join me on the pillows and perhaps we can find a more pleasurable way to settle our differences.



Then when our brave hero's back is turned...


 
When I first saw the Hatun Yasmina figure (Crom's Anvil) it immediately made me think of the 5e D&D artwork for the Lamia. I still had some lion miniatures sticking in the leadpile so I decided to order two Yasmina's and see if I couldn't make something happen.

The terrain was a test to see if I could make a set of tiles and scatter that better represents the kind of opulent palace that conan likes to sneak into in search of oppertunities😇

I had fun making them so you may expect to see more like these in the future.

Cheers,
Stroezie.

Some really great work! Very inspiring ideas, never thought to use pellets for a BB Gun!
Just remember "If the Enemy is in range, so are YOU!

More minis from the box of shame.
This time a trader with his camel train and somen beastmen to waylay him.



I also made some table funishings and a table and painted some large pots for my palace tiles.



And did a little conversion, a Crom's Anvil bodyguard became a Genie.





The lamp is a bit oversized, but I can reason that away due to the magical effects of the genie emerging from the lamp so that's O.K.😉



I ordered a whole bunch of beads over on Ali Express to make wall decorations and colums and maybe even some more small knicknacks for the palace tiles but they'll take a while to arrive so that project may have to wait a bit.

No worries, I have plenty of orther things to keep me busy.

Cheers,
Stroezie.
