Fifty shades of pike grey- scifi models in 28mm

[Freddy]

Really cool stuff! Like Pattus I am blown away by your ability to simply sculpt models into existence, really nice work

Thank you! Sculpting is maybe the most enjoyable aspect of the hobby for me!

...but now lets see some sculpts from other people. Chaos cultists from the Blackstone Fortress box, the only alteration I made on them was the base decorations.

Nice! Love the cool palette, looks really striking

[scotty]

They look great, especially the skin tones

[Freddy]

Thank you!
The skin tone is a bit too purple, but the yellow and the blue work well together (being complementer colours after all)

3 from the scientist on pg7, simple sculpts are cool because a headswap could make a huge difference

Woha, the painting of the cultist is really nice like that ! It changes a lot form classical colour scheme.

Thank you!
My paint scheme for Chaos is sand yellow for the clothing and a god-specific colour for the armour: pale green for Nurgle, pink for Slaanesh, red for Khorne and this blue is for Tzench.

After I made the houses on pg10, I decided to design non-terrain models too from mdf. My first choice was the Thudd gun, I made the lower part from mdf (the wheels are too thin, the other pictures have the corrected version)


The rest was designed to be resin-cast: the barrels are from plastic pipes and a lot of putty, the rest mostly plastic. I made an ammo piece too.



On this base I added some scratch pieces too, the shield for example would be too thick from mdf and not worth to cast for two piece.




For the crew I sculpted another guy:


The rest are conversions, mostly my older figures, but you can see a Valkyrie pilot with a set of FW Thudd gun crew hands (the one on the left)


And I also made a base for them, the same size as for the Bombasts on pg10.


...and now we are painting

Excellent pj on those cultists, I really like the flesh tones.

Canons that made me think of retrofuture are very nice, good job !

[Freddy]

Thanks, guys!

Yeah, I always loved that steampunk vibe of the DKoK range.

The scientists got a female colleague- or, thanks to the wonders of the resin casting, multiple of them. I need 6 scientists to run screaming in the corridors when the thing-you-should-not-worry-about-as-it-is-contained-with-maximum-security breaks out from the lab.
