The more stylized knight is quite cool, so is the fishmen. What ratio do you use for the dissolved putty?

Np specific ration, I just take a blob of putty, pop it on a palette, then use a paintbrush to saturate it with lighter fluid. then I agitate it a bit with a small dotting tool and use the resulting slurry to build up dots and lines on the mini. I find lighter fluid works best since it's quite aggressive - although I'd advise caution if you use it to smooth your sculpt since it can turn the putty into an unworkable sludge quite quickly - it'll hold its shape but won't have any resistance to a wayward tool.

The new skeleton is pretty awesome again  :-*

As soon as they're cast up, I feel another order coming up...
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

I really appreciate these skeletons.  Can't wait to see more and then order them.

I've just put the skeletons and the fishman up on the webstore after a little holiday, along with some other new stuff. I've got the rust goblins lined up to go live soon too :)

Re: 28mm fantasy sculpts from mammoth minis - goblins, EVIL, and two heads
« Reply #98 on: 19 August 2024, 09:15:04 PM »
After a lovely time selling my wares at britcon, I have knocked up a few more minis. We've got a new rust goblin - this time a dual wielding warlord. these little guys keep proving to be very popular at shows.



I've also made a companion figure to my knight of the red death swordsman - this time a sort of red death cleric. I don't know what the red death is, but I imagine these fellows forming a sort of evil D&D party.







I also knocked up this two headed mutant gunslinger - he's sci fi leaning but I think he'd fit into a game of mordheim well enough.







The mutant gunslinger and the cleric are perhaps the best way to show off my new approach to fine musculature and facial detail -
I've started "Painting" these details onto miniautres in a sort of Pate sur pate method. Basically I use a strong thinner to dilute my beesputty down to a slurry, then I build up fine details like faces, knuckles, veins etc by painting these on in little dabs with a small brush. I've found this far nicer than trying to push and smooth the soft putty.

Cheers!

I cast up the anti cleric and I can't describe how satisfying it was to pull a perfect cast first time.

It really did come out great.
I'll also add that green is actually a good colour for such a sculpt. I can see it painted eith a green hue.

It took a while but I finally added a whole host of these sculpts to the mammoth webstore.

The two headed mutant, the cleric and the whole range of rust goblins (including their armoured dragon war beast and a new champion) are all available now at www.mammothminiatures.com
