Here are a bunch of just finished sculpts, modern people. (metal HF minis for scale, obviously not my sculpt...) I was a bit inspired by slasher movies so I thought I would make some crazy people...

Some parts I'm suprise how decent it turned out, others I wish I could do better, some parts I wished I had made smaller....

Very cool! I didn't reaize you were such a talented sculptor! I like the old man with the axe, he totally reminds me of some back country horror... The woman is also cool, she could be painted to fit a number of different themes. The short one with the shotgun is awesome, in a different context from the others. Very cool. Are you going to paint these up?

You are a rennassiance man when it comes to miniatures!

You can do it all.

Gorgeous smoothness! Cool characters.

thanks!

I'm hoping to get them into metal before I paint them. Will have to decide what to do with them...

Those are really good. As I'm currently trying to improve my sculpting I can appreciate the work that has gone into these. The smoothness of the greenstuff is better than anything I have really managed so far. What I also like is the amount of character you have put into each figure.

I really like the hippy axeman and the sawn-off guy (and he has a shotgun :

: ). The pose on the girl is a difficult one, not something I would dream of attempting at the moment. She doesnt seem quite right, her hair seems too regular and her hips could be a bit more pronounced.

Not really in a position to criticise too much as I would love to be this good. :roll:

thanks!

Using clayshapers really helped with the smoothness. I picked them up from an arts supplies store. Or you can get them from heresy

I agree the girl is a bit odd. I tried to fix it but its still messy. I redid the arms twice already, they were a bit worse off before. I just redid the arse too, so I'll take a photo later.

I didn't notice the hair looked like that until I took the photo, its touching too many things for me to carve off safely... wouldn't want to wreck something else so it will have to do.

btw, everyone is in a position to criticise!

Very nice work!
Have you tried your hand with historical minis?

KeyanSark · « **Reply #7 on:** August 08, 2007, 08:33:05 AM »

You should buy some insurance for those hand of yours...

thanks!

the naked greek was the most historical thing I tried I think. I've got a cartoony viking somewhere too. But most of my historical needs are serviced by existing sculpts already.

I like the woman's hair. It reminds me of crimped hair, which typically looks pretty uniform.

So, how would you go about getting these into metal?

Looking into options of casting right now, let you know if the pan out.
