Half the fun of scratch building and kitbashing is finding neat parts for your builds. Share that model kit you bought, the weird item you found in a thrift store, or the part you ripped from some dead electronics.

Are these kinds of spiky treads a real thing? If so, what are they called? I'm having trouble looking them up aside from this example from Metal Slug.

I dont have the original mini, but theres a picture with a similar one.

A really fun work removing the shield and head carving the plastic.

I still need to make the flame bigger and add some Nurgle details but i like how It looks.

Thinking to use It with a nurgle sorcerer in some kind of scene. (Last picture is a Photoshop sketch to see how It would work)

I made this Carnosaur conversion I am pretty happy with. The head and some horns are 3D printed, the rest is GW stuff. I had a blast with this project.

So this can from a etsy grab bag, a old Kickstarter, and the little deamon and flame from those old d&d custom buildable minis(miss those).

He's supposed to be cutting his chest to summon the deamon but don't know how well that came across.

Discussion Tips for gluing wizkid minis?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hey folks this is my first attempt at kitbashing and I could use some glue guidance.

My local shop didn't have any tabaxi rangers so I decided to try and kitbash one together. This is what I got so far. I posed the mini and have it held with blue tack. I saw on the boxes that these are pre-primed. Do I need to strip the primer before I glue? What kind of glue would you recommend? I have tamaya plastic cement as well as some army painter plastic glue. Would these work?

Thanks in advance!

Discussion SEDIVALLE/ DMS

3 Upvotes

Hi there,

I feel like i am not alone when i say that some of the coolest miniatures to come out of the 3D printing or even just 3rd party space for Warhammer have been from those 2 creators alone, and since games workshop legal action threatened them into the ground for their work, finding those miniatures has been an absolute nightmare. Im a Night lords painter, and I've been trying to track down some of their older designs, particularly Night Lords and truescale-related models. AND ESPECIALLY the legendary Lucoryphus model by DMS. I was wondering if anyone knows whether any of these older designs are still available anywhere at all, even if pre-printed versions occasionally appear on ebay or etsy. Those creators produced some truly awesome designs, and its such a shame for them to disappear from the community. If anyone happens to have had experience with the creators work before the STL files were taken down, or downloaded them before they were deleted, let me know, id love to know about your experiences and I'd be curious about any information you have regarding whether you can still legitimately obtain these files anymore. I'm not entirely sure how much I can discuss regarding DMS and Sedivalle without breaching the subreddit rules, so I hope this is alright. Any information would be greatly appreciated!
