Those dinky rhinos are very cool! Get ‘em while you can….

Cheers Fred

I started work on some troops to stick inside the rhinos - They look familiar...

(All done in MS builder, With the head taken from the MS paint 3d library. Gonna print these are 15mm so not too bothered about detail, just form.)

Well it finally happened - After almost 20 years I finally sculpted my own space marine.

I originally just wanted to make some 15mm marines so I could play horus heresy skirmish games at a small scale, But i was curious how an MS paint/3D builder miniature would hold up at a larger scale, SO i printed it at "true" scale, Pushing 40mm (really nice and chunky, much bigger than GW scale but very pleasing) and think it turned out pretty nicely - Certainly it gives alot of surface to mess with when it comes to painting.

The 15mm minis have come out nicely and will look pretty on the table with their matching rhinos. I need to refine the hands a bit, I phoned it in as I wasn't planning on them getting printed at a large scale, but I think I'm going to want more of these guys so I will come up with a better hand system.

Gave the little marines a lick of paint - Not too shabby.

You still Painting away? Awesome!

I'm impressed how good purely geometric shapes look in smaller scales.

Great job so far! Love especially the non-GW stuff, as it's really original in design! The robo-gunslinger is great!

High praise from the master!
I think this process certainly favours mechanical stuff, So things like the robots and tanks work really well and are much easier to do than say, the marines or infantry.

Gave the big marine a nicer paintjob - For MS paint I think he looks pretty damn good.

I have revised my marine hand design, So it now fits flush to the wrist and has more pronounced fingers. Not that you'll notice at 15mm. but it bothered me so it needed fixing.

So you are sculpting in 15mm and then printing the guy at 28mm.

Have you thought about sculpting at 28mm and then printing at 15mm? You might get a lot more detail.

I'm sculpting at no real scale and then just adjusting it prior to printing.

I actually like your marine better than the GW models. Heresy runs deep in my bones

How re-posable are the figures in MS Paint?
