15mm SciFi Scenery - Table!

[Sangennaru]

Hi there!

I just started a very new project, inspired by the architecture of Dredd (2012) and Pacific Rim (2013).

My basic conceps drawn while watching Pacific Rim:



First i thought to go for 3d, but after a few concepts i decided it was too expensive, still i made some sketches:



So... i started working manually. The base is in Eulithe, then coated with very wet ceramic plaster. The roughness of the Eulithe makes it completely merger with plaster, resulting in a very versatile material.

Here's my very first work so far:

Nice Jack. You and I still need to touch base on those other building ideas at some stage. Early 2014?

Why not! From March i will be located in Canada, but it's not a great difference, internet is everywhere!

How long for? And what about your moulding equipment?

my moulding equipment is composed mainly from my hands. Of cours i can't bring with me more than 1 or 2 kg of silicon moulds, but for that reason i'm keeping for Canada my WWII 28mm project, which is freezed since 8-9 months, and probably some other small 3d modelling and casting!

I'll be back next November, but hopefully i'll manage to go back to Canada undefinitely.


BTW, more progresses pretty soon! =)

And nice project btw

I'll be using your models, why they will arrive at my home!


yeah, master degree thesis at the University of Guelph!

Ok, before night, the updates:
After the first column i made some more:



I'm now working on the walls sections. They are 4 x 6 cm, 3mm thick.



All this project is just a test, i want to see what i can do in this style. Then i'll think about 3d printing or whatever.

Looking good Jack. Nice!

Hey! The University of Guelph is where I went to school!

Let me know if you have any questions about the town or university!

Oh and the buildings look very promising too.

at the moment the building is nothing more than three plaster pieces, i hope it'll get better soon!

I'll write you via PM, a Guelphian is always useful!

I reckon that stuff may just be Phenolic Foam aka "Balsa Foam" under a different tradename, it both looks like it and your description sounds just like it.

I use it for carving fantasy stuff..just started doing some new stuff with it actually and its great stuff.

Yep, probably it's a kind of balsafoam... but much cheaper! =)

A small update, while finishing 10 cowboys in 15mm:





and i started also same walls. They are just experiments, i'll have to see what will be better to do!
