Turtles rule 

Tempting, aint they?
 

[Doomsdave]

This whole project is just fantastic.  Well done!  I love the turtles the most.

Thanks Dave!

And the warrior commission done, had to be red! The green skeleton knight is by Soda Pop Miniatures.



A new model shop has opened up near where I work in Manchester so managed to pick up some scenery stuff from there. Really like the little leaves I picked up

I've first seen this thread now and wow! Some stunning work!

Absolutly awesome. Wonderfull sculpting and amazing paintjobs.

Inspiring too. I've long desired to get into sculpting but the difficulty put me off.
This kind of stuff looks like I might be able to get something similar with some practice then work from there.
Not on the first try but this looks both achievable and cool.
Not that I'm saying:'well that looks easy.'
But I think I might just start sculpting some chibi at some point.

Yeah I definitely recommend it, chibis are pretty forgiving to sculpt as the whole style is abbreviated, so hands and feet are pretty much tapered points, head to body ratio of 1/3 or even 1/2. Give it a go and post some pics!

Ive managed to finish of some more custom casts.

Beefy castle crashers


Rather than injecting the resin in I used a split mould technique - cuts down the mould making time by half


Mixture of fimo and greenstuff



Black Knight



Some more thieves


Thief boss Ayame


Harlequin Harley Quinn


And a few more WIP sculpts, I aim to get mould making again soon










Castle war!


Thanks for looking!

[von Lucky]

Cute as hell.

[Mason]

Brilliant!
 

Put me down for a couple of guitar heroes as soon as you cast them up.

Thanks! Id recommend the Super Dungeon Explore or Arcadia Quest boxed sets if you like the chibi stuff. Great value that works out around £1 per mini.

Will do! He will come with a both choices of an electric guitar or acoustic lute (to stop any Dylan-esque electric backlash a Stratocaster being used in a fantasy dungeon...)

Just in the process of making moulds for the elves, but Ill be casting him up soon - I really want to paint him!

Cheers

Some more casting and painting has been taking place Im poised to buy a presure pot for casing too, just need to work out where to store the 25litre compressor without the missus kicking off

Darkish elves







50 pence Britannia - Had to get rid of the spear as it was too brittle. I think it would definitely be a brass rod job in the future.


Skyrim Spriggan





Chibi Hendrix, The lute has been painted, no pics taken yet though. His military colours are based on the Napoenonic French Dragoons

Thanks!

Did you ever end up doing cloud or Vincent from ff7?

[Andrew May]

I keep forgetting to look here, Mark! Everything looks great, the painting especially so!

[The Voivod]

Awesome stuff once nore.

Love Britannia, those rosey cheeks are adorable.

[white knight]

When I have some spare cash, I'll have to shoot you another order, loving the elves!
