The Sculpting Workshop

A very enjoyable weekend with friends, to all of them thank you for attending and sharing your miniatures I hope one day when I come back in holidays to find all of you sculpting and painting like mad people :D

Beast of Wars On the table show

I usually follow Beasts of Wars reviews and online shows, for those that don't know the outstanding hobby goodies that they deliver every day just check them out at.

http://www.beastsofwar.com/

They have a biweekly show called On the table were they resume some of the last miniatures news on the market... This time they also showed some of my sculpts for Fractured Dimensions Miniatures

Check Minute 8:30.

Lots of interesting ranges to check out.


Since I forgot to add a scale picture for fractured dimensions minis here, its time to fix that...

The metal miniature on the right is about 28mm to the eye level.

New base set for Secret Weapon Miniatures

Secret Weapon Miniatures will have in January of 2012 some new bases sets that I had the pleasure to sculpt. Following the alien theme I sculpted lots of living things on top the space deck bases that Justin sent me.

Eggs, bugs, face buggers, tentacled alien nastiness, its all there. I think these are cool for Space hulk environments.

More bases are planned for Secret Weapons Miniatures but this time with a different theme.

The Mimic

Another classic monster, and one of my all time favorites, the Mimic... Imagine your venturing into a dungeon in search for treasures and you find in a dark corner of a room a treasure chest that you promptly try to open it to see what treasures it holds inside, and guess what, you are the dinner on the plate.

The Mimic

The Mimic has 25mm to the top of the chest and its a Kit composed with 4 bits.

The kit bits are optional so you can create several different Mimics just by selecting alternative combinations of them.

Bits are:

- The base with the chest

- The chest lid that you can glue more or less opened

- Optional tongue

- Optional Right arm

This miniature kit will be produced by Fractured Dimensions Miniatures and I hope you dungeon explorers among us appreciate it.

The Lemures

Hello fellow fantasy RPG monsters fans I have finished some more sculpts... If you remember the old rpg add demons named Lemures for your dungeons adventures then you will be happy to see them fleshed out in a sculpt for your games.

I remember the Lemures having big google eyes, melting mouths and a body that was part mud or melting and part flesh, they are also quite muscled so here's what I did with them.

The Lemures

The big Lemure ( 28mm to the eye)

Lemure Medium size (24mm to the eye)

Lemure Medium size 2 ( 22mm to the eye)

Lemure Small (21mm to the eye but body less bulky)

Family picture

Thats about it, some melting demons to spread chaos in your fantasy games, your dungeons will never be the same...

Tomorrow I will post THE MIMIC muhahaha

These miniatures will all soon be produced by Fractured Dimensions Miniatures.

Cheers.

Painting Chewk, the color guide

After much thinking I finally painted the Chewk like some kind of prawn man and here are the results. I opted for saturated colors since I believe they work best for such smallish scales, making good contrasts.

Never painted a 10mm before and its hilarious to be honest, specially if you paint it like a normal 28mm.
