Sculpting 28mm dungeon accessories (Updated 5.3.14)
« on: February 07, 2014, 12:50:54 PM »
I was eyeing to buy some dungeon accessories lately, but then I got an even better idea: I'll make them myself. These are made with Fimo and are suitable for 28mm figures. I have been playing with fimo before, but it occurred to me only now that I could do 28mm stuff with it. When making figures, I tend to slip out of scale and they end up too large. Hats off to all the sculpters out there, the work really requires a lot of skill. I fell in love with sculpting and I'm very keen on learning, so all comments and critique are highly appreciated, as well as sculpting ideas.

I made this bed first for an inn:


Treasure chest without a lid:


Double door with a Reaper figure for scale, I will add a bit of wall and floor later:


Some accessories:


Adventuring in dungeons can be tiring, here is the first sleepy hero - the Dwarf:


Trapdoor (could be a window too):


And finally a cave slug:

Very nice! I'm inspired to get some FIMO myself and try it - the cave slug especially suggests all sorts of uses.

They are really, really good. The sleepy dwarf is my fave.

Polymer clay is quickly becoming my favorite medium.  Especially when I see inspiring posts like this... Thanks and great work!

Thanks for the comments! I had some time to paint some of them during the weekend:









Painting them taught me some things about sculpting as well. The sculpting on some was not deep enough, and on others I had just fumbled in hurry and the painting really brings the mistakes visible. I find it a lot easier to paint good sculpts made by professionals then my own sculpts :). However, as dungeon scenery, they make their job and I'm quite happy how they turned out.

I love your sculpting and painting style! The dwarf is awesome too. The red nose is a nice touch.

I finished the double door today, a Reaper Bones figure for scale. I'll probably give resin casting a try with this at some point:


Here is a Dwarven fountain:


And here is another sleepy adventurer, this time a barbarian (sorry for the blurry picture):


Thanks for the comments, I had fun making these.
