Here are the Wine Witch and Beer Seer together :) :


Inso, I love everything, but I especially love these two, in my disturbed little mind I can hear them shouting "wassaill" in a very boozy psychic frenzy ;D :D

Nice!

What a great line of sculpts brimming with character and humor.  Really fantastic work.

Cheers :) .

I like to add a bit of humour to some of the miniatures... just to add a wee bit of extra character :) .

Definitely :) .

Seeing as I have a couple of these, it was only right and proper to paint one up for my army. He'll proxy as a command comms, I reckon :) :

I was hoping to paint up a Christmas miniature but didn't have time... so here's the latest sculpt, an Ordnance Officer. Merry Christmas :) :

This is another advisor, namely and Air Force one. He's old-school Air Force so he isn't allowed a beard and has to make do with a big moustache instead :) :

Very nice sculpts! :)



Did the Mobile Infantry make him the Space Dwarf he is today?  ;)

A small update... Thor, the Engineseer and the two advisors have now been sent off for casting. I should have sculpted a pair of Servitors to go with the Engineseer but I have been distracted with a couple of other projects...

First, a friend of mine asked me to sculpt him a diver that he could wear as a pendent. He provided me reference to use and this is what I came up with:



Second, a conversion was needed for a game board at Salute 2023... so I dug out a Hasslefree Miniatures dolly and converted it into this well known, sci-fi heroine:



I am now working on a caricature of a political figure and a pair of laughing Buddhas... which are far from finished. Hopefully, I'll get back to the Servitors soon but I think I just need a bit of time away to act as a palette cleanser :)

Cool models! I have to admit, I was nosing around Macrocosm last night <ahem>, but the web store is functionally closed for now whilst the owner completes a house move.

Anyway.

The diver, with a few tweaks, might not actually be a bad basis for a servitor you know... Any chance you could get a copy of the master (or the original master) back after it's cast for some tweaks?  :)

I think the shop will be open soon because the machines are up and running at the new address. I'll ping Chris a message and ask when things will resume :) .

I reckon you're right about the diver, they'd make good servitors (a bit like the old action force diver/robot troopers). They'd certainly work for humans (it's a bit bigger than my Dwarfs) but my army uses robots rather than lobotomised Dwarfs and I've got two partially finished on the corks. I will be getting a bunch of casts back (of the diver) so I might tinker anyway :) .

The wheels are still in turn... the process is still going on... Casting has been happening:



I haven't received these yet but the diver is still needed in metal so I reckon I'll get the metal/resin casts in one batch.

With the Engineseer and advisors being finished, it's just a case of finishing the servitors and all of the sculpting will be finished for the project.

With 10th edition (WH40K) on the horizon, I may start another project to fill out a few new slots but I'm in no rush because it would be nice to paint my army :) .

Cool. The mechanical arm has come out nicely. I imagine fiddly bits like that will be a pain.
