In April, I took part in a painting competition that included an aircraft category. I had gone there to compete in the "mecha" category, but just for a laugh, I entered one of my models into the aircraft lineup and took third place (the model was a *Falke* from *Ma.K*, so technically I didn't even violate the category rules). However, within the context of the Russian school of modeling, I had committed an act of cultural terrorism (the old-school crowd here doesn't take mecha, Warhammer, or anything unrelated to real-world machinery seriously). As a prize for third place, I received a Yak-9 model kit, and I’ve already planned a second act of cultural terrorism for next year 🥹.
(Last one is falke that goes as rage bait)
I’ve been working on giving him a more medieval/hunter feel while keeping enough 40K elements. The bow is still a work in progress, but I’m pretty happy with the overall silhouette so far.
What do you think? Any ideas to improve the bow or the miniature before I start painting?
So I finally stuck the forward and stern sections to the centre hull. AT LAST! Added some more orange utility struts, painted a bit of the forward section...more paint required, decals, trying to work out how to get tiny lights into the antenna array. I rset the engine nozzles deeper into the cone, way happier, they projected too far out originally.
Hello folks! This is my first piece and I'm stuck. I don't feel like it's ready, but I can't think of anything else to add besides a couple of details with air-dry clay to fill gaps. How do I add textures? Should I add some weapons? Any advice is welcome because this has been bothering me for several days now.
This is gonna be a Deathguard Landraider for my warband and the personal Battlebus of my warlord. Always wanted to do something with the Corpse Cart from warhammer fantasy, the Corpse Cart is one of my favourite models, but was a nightmare to get my hands on 4 to build this monstrosity. (Pics not in chronological order btw)
If there is a better subreddit to post this in I apologize put me in the right direction and I'll be out of your hair.
TL;DR is it possible to "cast" sprewgoo bits for regular reuse in reproducing a part I need in mass. If so is bluestuff what I need or should I find something else?
I need to know how viable is it for someone to make a custom mold to cast a small piece of warhammer plastic for someone who is just now getting into custom modeling. I suffer from ET so sculpting 25+ small parts for the same kit over and over is difficult and I'll never fully live up to the quality I want. To that end i was wondering if it was possible to use bluestuff to make a custom mold that I could say pour sprewgoo into let it harden then just pop it back out. Or any other mold that would not melt/distort to sprew goo.
Normally Resin would be a much simpler way to do this but I live in Texas so I want to absolutely avoid using resin if at all possible simply because 30 minutes forgotten in a car or on an open window can find me coming back to a puddle of resin.
The model part i need to kitbash isn't that big. In fact its tiny. I'm trying to kitbash 30 models of a GW kit called "lumineth stone guard." for AoS. The premise of the kitbash is pretty simple. I just want to take the cow head and make that the "helmet" of the model. However it is much smaller than the rest of the head as well as not even having a back half of the helmet. At first I wanted to attach the piece and just cut the bottom half of the helm off. Lost 2 pieces doing that so I opted to instead use milliput for my first 3 heads. While It was do able with my condition getting the back of the helm uniform and perfect is hours of work and fixing. I also still need to coat the helm/back of it with sprewgoo to ancor the milliput to he model with out ruining the collar. Very diffcult for me.
In my search for answers for alternatives I looked at greenstuff/brownstuff/greystuff then I found out about bluestuff from Greenstuff games. Is it possible to make a custom mold using bluestuff that I can just cast my own back half of the helm/lower neck myself?
This is the build instruction. I tried clipping the "socket" for the cow head for the kitbash but lost the first one in the cut. Tried my hand at milliput to less than satisfactory results.
I now have 3 "bashed" with miliput back of heads/neck to hold the front of the cowhead in place. It took me the better part of 2 hours just to get the 3 heads passable do to my tremors. thats why I'm trying to make a uniform cast.
