My fellow model makers, @nerdlings and @warhammercommunity, #ttrpg gamers and the like. Where are you getting your green stuff from? That's the 2-part epoxy putty that cures to a flexible, rubbery finish. Particularly, I'd like to get separate sticks of yellow/blue (or other alternatives) […]

Flying Kroot. One thing I learnt about Kroot was that they take on features of the creatures they eat. What happens if you feed them birds? And further to that, my answer to how would a kroot with wings handle a gun... Sculpted wings, re-posed legs, cut off feet […] [Original post on dice.camp]
I think I found the perfect project for model makers: 1:1 scale Bonzai tree. It's basically a scale model tree, in a tiny pot. An ideal present for your non-"scale model army guy"-loving friends/family. #ScaleModel #BonzaiTree #Scratchbuilt #Art #Sculpture #DrH
More angles of the Noxious Blightbringer. Faded green armour, as is usual for Nurgle, and rusty trim. Together with the brass/verdigris bells and pale bone, there's a nice contrast with the rich burgundy-like colour of the cloth. #Warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity […] [Original post on dice.camp]
Goblin Vs Dwarf. Thorin Oakenshield meets the Goblin King. Not quite how it plays out in the book, but call it artistic licence. I painted this diorama as if lit only from the 2 torches at either end of the bridge. One of those occasions when I do OSL. Again […] [Original post on dice.camp]
Close-ups of The Mechanic. My army's techmarine/techpriest. On one side, they have a large claw and a nail-gun, for gripping and afixing in place that which requires it. The other side has a trio of meca-tentacles with interchangable tools. More tools are stored […] [Original post on dice.camp]
Base details for the Safeguard Necron conversion. A simple stomp of a metal skull into concrete. a) shows the power in her slim frame. b) call back to the head-swap of a necron mini', but without any confusion of using a necron head. c) kind of a reverse T2 […] [Original post on dice.camp]
Mirkwood Book Nook. To display the Mithril-Miniatures figures of Elrond and Thranduil I built a book-nook. Scratchbuilt trees and some elven architecture. Built the box first, with planning for the interior. Then built and painted the two halves before closing […] [Original post on dice.camp]
Ol' One Toof. Ork Nob #1 for my personal army/collection. I wanted him to be the least comedic relief Ork I could make. Do not make any jokes around him. Various changes across the model; from re-posing and equipment alterations, to bulking up the body by adding […] [Original post on dice.camp]
Rescue Terminators. So named and themed because these are ebay rescues. These were cursed with too much glue, no mould-line removal, some sprue gates still attached, some broken off with some of the model, but no paint thankfully. The rescue required sawing arms […] [Original post on dice.camp]
N-Gauge train display base. Some backstory; All the model train stuff was my Grandfather's and was inherited by my Father. Unused for many years, one day we could not find it and believed it stolen. Then, while looking for something else, I stumbled across it all […] [Original post on dice.camp]
Primaris Intercessors Squad A. From the Dark Imperium box set. I painted these up in a unque paint scheme to make them stand out (and allow anyone to add them to their army), and left space for a chapter symbol to be added later. Then gave them custom made […] [Original post on dice.camp]
Inceptors. The trio of Inceptors from the Dark Imperium box. I have a dislike for clear flight stands, so these got unique bases. Plus some minor reposing and sculpted flames for the jetpacks. And I used 9 different metallic paints on these, just because I […] [Original post on dice.camp]
More angles of the Peugeot "not-Spinner". Including a scale shot with a tape-measure. #BladeRunner #BladeRunner2049 #ScaleModel #NotSpinner #Pug #DrH
More angles of the Piranha plant sculpture. The stem is based around a wire coathanger, foil and thin wire, coated in green-stuff epoxy putty. It has a tiny bit of springiness so that it won't crack if knocked over. #PiranhaPlant #SuperMario #Sculpture #DrH
A few more views of the "Tyranid Hunter" that is Dire Avenger #3 The spear arm is an older eldar arm (than the majority of the mini') and a (possible) Fantasy Orc halberd and hand. I just combined the two at the wrist. #PaintingMiniatures #Warhammer40k […] [Original post on dice.camp]
Chibi Princess Mononoke, San on Wolf. Once I saw the Super Dungeon Explore wolf rider, I had to have it and fully convert it to San on a wolf. ❤️ San. The mask required some carving, I added her fur cloak with putty, cleaned up some of the casting (removed the […] [Original post on dice.camp]
UFO crash. Where did it come from? What was it's purpose? Why did it crash? A possible start to a modular gaming table, stands alone until I have space and time. The UFO was inspired by H.R.Giger. Much of the graffiti tags are references to my regulars on […] [Original post on dice.camp]
More angles of the Grot Biker. The base is a sprinkling of water-filter activated carbon grains, closely packed and then sanded flat to create a tarmac look. Leave intentional gaps for pot-holes. The poster is a classic Isle of Man TT advert. Because motorbike […] [Original post on dice.camp]
More angles of the Police Spinner model. The various lights about the vehicle were made from clear plastic pieces and tinted with clear (or dilute) paint. The rooftop light fixture involved ~19 pieces iirc. The windows were painted using the "black gem" method […] [Original post on dice.camp]
I've mentioned it before, but I don't think I've ever shown you lot here, how I base my mini's. The main difference is the mixture I use for the texture. My mud'n'rocks mix is mostly crumbs of dried paint, plaster, shavings and sawdust of wood and plastic, and […] [Original post on dice.camp]
Hide / Shield. Terrain piece made from mainly household junk (what can you spot?). Some additional scrap cast pieces from my experiments and a wall corner of foamcore. based on a CD covered in tissue/PVA. Turning the corner of a ruined building into a shield or […] [Original post on dice.camp]
Some more angles of the Mantis Warrior space marine. The mines on his base are made from 3 pieces of sprue: 2 cross-sections of trapezoid sprue and 1 round injection point. #MantisWarrior #SpaceMarine #Warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity #DrH
Noisy Cricket. 1:1 Prop replica built from scratch with wood, plastic and epoxy putty. As close as I could get using movie screenshots. Fits in the palm of your hand. #MenInBlack #MIB #NoisyCricket #PropReplica #Scratchbuilt #DrH
Dragon statue. Sculpted in epoxy putty. Air-dry clay and plaster for the rock. Standing ~100mm tall. #Dragon #DragonStatue #Sculpture #DrH
Primaris lieutenants and Captian. From the Dark Imperium box set. Re-posed one of them and gave them all unique bases. Then painted them all up in a heroic colour scheme. #Warhammer40k #Primaris #SpaceMarines #Lieutenant #GravisCaptain #WarhammerCommunity #DrH
What's this? A project idea from long ago; A stealth suit partially cloaked... To start with, collect pieces to build and add some other bits to incorporate. Because I can't just build a mini', I have to modify it to fit my army/collection. Glue some bits […] [Original post on dice.camp]
