Some of my Pulp scenery (lots of pics)

[magokiron]

Hi folks.

I have droooled over all your wonderful scenery for so long, that I think is time for me to post some of the scenery I've been building for my Pulp games.

Hope you like this, but bear in mind that most of the time I work with a tight budget, and also remember there are some people far more talented than me, so please bear with me.

Some jungle tiles. I made about a dozen of these to populate the table, but just show some here so you get the idea.







I know hexes seem strange at first glance, but I think they are very practical and you can arrange them close together to make larger jungle areas.

Ok. and here are some rocks I made like 10+ years ago:











Now, a very old piece of scenery (I made it more than 8 years ago), that has seen lots of battles. This is one of my gaming group favorites for its versatility.

Dino bones:









And some moais I sculpted from scratch recently:



More to come...

Great!

You should be casting up some of those sculpts, and adding to the range for your own little hobby company 

The skull rocks and the moais are really nice.

The layered rocks are typical 80's style GW stuff - I made some myself at one point - think they ended up in a games club.

[Muskie]

Your scenery looks fine.  I've been making some scenery myself and when I start to think about repaint, or adding more layers of highlights, I remind myself most people look at it from arms length, it's the figs they look at up close.

Cheers,

However, the layered rocks still look nice if they stick out of some trees or shrubbery. I like your terrain. If there is one thing I would do differently it's the green of the jungle bases. I'd go for a more brownish earth color with patches of vegetation. But that's just personal taste. And I can understand why your dinosaur is a favourite: it's really coool, something I've always wanted to do but never got around to doing.

The dino bones scenery piece is very nice

To all of you, who has taken your time to see my stuff and leave some comments, thanks you very much.

Your feedback is gratly appreciated.

He,he, that's right, you got me

They were made LOTS of years ago for WHFB 4th! (Oh. my, how time flyes!), inspired in WD and some GW rule and army books.

They look so simple now, compared with some of my recent stuff, but still are practical to place on the table, and I wanted to share them with you. By the way, I made like 6 different models, but just a couple seem right to photograph, so you get the idea.

Maybe in a near future I will post a "group pic" so you can see all them together.

Meanwhile, here is a little hill I made as an experiment.

I think it doesn't turn half bad, although I realize it's quite small, but as I said, it was an experiment:





And a litlle "stone circle" I made for some arcane rites.

I guess I must add some debris and folliage, as this looks so "new", but anyhow, here it is:

Great!

It's curious you say that, as these I sculpted for myself with green stuff (well, some sort of "almost white" stuff actually), and I think they ended up pretty well, so I'm tempted to cast them in resin and made  me a few copies.

Any of you are interested?









Well, that's it for now.

Some more things to come yet... 

Best wishes.

Those idols are nice. I could see a market for them if they were priced right.

[Hitman]

I was going to say that your terrain was nothing to sneeze at, and then I actually sneezed....

Anyways, great looking pieces. I really like the dino bones, and Moais head and the 2 idols. If they are reasonably priced, I would be very interested in getting some of the idols. Keep me posted.

Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing your ideas.
Regards,
Hitman

I am loving your sculpts. You would sell at least the one set to me if you cast them.

True

These look great! I would be interested in some of these 

[Argonor]

Sir, you MUST keep sculpting!  There's talent in there, for sure. Although idols and primitive statues may not be the hardest things to sculpt, especially the idols show that you have more than a hang of it!

I second the opinions that say you'd find a market. They're cool!

[white knight]

I agree, those idols are the dogs dangly bits and if you get a chance to cast them up, go for it.

I also like the dino bones and the stone circle and... loads of good stuff.

But I must say that last hill made me think of a cake at first sight. Probably a combination of steep sides and a too round shape. But the principles and techniques that were used are sound.

[magokiron]

Thanks you all for your kind words and interest.

I may try to make the silicone moulds and resin castings of the tiki idols this weekend.

Let me see how that turns out, and then we'll talk about them.

But remember that I'm in Mexico, so post charges may be a little high for some of you over the pond.

Anyhow, this thread is about pieces of scenery, so let me show you some other of my pieces... 

A ruined Ganesha temple.

The idol is a resin piece I bought at an esoteric shop, but I immediately saw the possibilities.

All walls and the floor are made with high density stirofoam 0.5mm thick.

And I plan to add 2 or 3 more small "rubble" pieces to complete the set, but so far, I'm very happy about how this one turned out.

Hope you like it.









Some other stuff still on my desk... 

Best wishes.

[Calimero]

Cool stuff. I really like the two idols

I wonder what the postage is like to Australia from Mexico
