more progress on the orc.
He's got a hunched back and will have a smoother, flatter transition from his head to his neck once the joint is dry enough to work over.

I'm going to give him skinny,, lanky arms and legs to counter his quie squat body, to give him a really unpleasant inhuman look.

He'll most likely be holding a spear or rusty halberd across his front.

Orc looks great - he's got a real feel of the the old 15mm HOT goblins, which is a good thing.

How easy are the faces to remove from the surface when you sculpt like that? Very sharp scalpel?

Generally a light nudge gets them free. As long as you sculpt them onto something smooth like acrylic or an enamel tile, the greenstuff won't adhere too strongly.

I'm trying to sculpt some space peasants at the moment, so I'll give that a go.

Well i decided my phone has probably had enough of being strained to breaking point trying to photograph miniatures, SOOOO i picked up a little camera.
Turns out it hates it aswell. Nothing makes you miss having free access to a professional photography studio like trying to take pictures of things this small with a lamp and a strip of leds.

The orc is now done. I'm really not thrilled with alot of it, i think there are too many sloppy parts that show up badly on camera and his weapon and pose really don't stand out as anything special.
But he's done, and i like his face.

New sculpt almost finished. A simple city guard. His mail is ill fitting, his shield is a bit beaten up and his helmet ...hasn't been sculpted.

I like this guy, It was a good practice for chainmail. I'm pretty proud of his hands and his relaxed pose.

[Jagannath]

He's great - you're right, the pose is really natural.

A cheap camera won't be much better than your phone for macro work. There are several brands of clip-on macro lenses for phone cameras. Maybe that would work better for you?

I have one but it's far worse, makes everything look like a blured mess.
I think the phone camera is working fine for now ,much better than the camera.

I finished the guards helmet. and here he is next to his goblin counterpart.

I'm getting pretty good at sculpting these giant coins aswell.

Also recieved word that my other sculpts will be seeing the mould this week! so if all goes well i should have some casts soon.

Cheers Rumacara!


I did this chap today.I had to work Saturday so didn't get my two days of sculpting/slouching around, So I managed to crank this guy out in about 3 hours today.

I'm thinking of giving him a big flowing hood for him to scowl from.

He's a mm or two shorter than the other chaps , mostly because of his stooped over position, like his back has been arched by years of pouring over arcane scrolls.

Cool. I do like this chap. Has a lot of character
