Model Making

Here you'll find a selection of my works. All of these projects are by my metrics finished, and all show off interesting parts of my talents as a model maker. They show my views on them not all of them these views are charitable but if nothing else you gain an insight into how I think.

Model Examples

Demon Lord

Demon Lord Model

Techniques used:

  • Kit bashing.
  • Sculpting

Materials used:

  • Warhammer kits (from some Winged Ghouls and a Vampire Lord)
  • Green Stuff

Fun Fact:

  • Getting the pose to work with the parts I had required the use of green stuff to join them together.

Blind Troll

Blind Troll Model

Techniques used:

  • Kit bashing
  • Sculpting

Materials used:

  • Fimo.
  • Green stuff.
  • Warhammer parts (from Trolls)

Fun Fact:

  • This was the project that made me give up on Fimo as a material as I do not like having to bake it in the oven on a very specific temperature

Centipede

  • Junk Modelling
  • Sculpting

Killer Robot

  • Straws
  • Wire
  • One small piece of Warhammer kit for the gun.
  • Bits of model kit sprue for the base.

Fun Fact:

  • This is my best work from a scrap modelling perspective. I love the dynamic motion that I've managed to get out of this model.

Life Fountain

Life Fountain Model

Techniques used:

  • Junk Modelling
  • Sculpting
  • Painting

Materials used:

  • Chewing gum pots and other plastic containers.
  • Chopped up bits of sprue.
  • A lot of hot glue (for the "water")
  • Milliput

Fun Fact:

  • I'm not sure what the fluid coming out of this fountain is, but it does seem to be giving life to the nearby ground. I don't know if it's good to drink though.

Time Warrior

Time Warrior Model

Techniques used:

  • Sculpting
  • Painting.

Materials used:

  • Milliput
  • Plastic lid (for the base).
  • Wire

Fun Fact:

  • This is one of the only times I've experimented with trying to paint light on a miniature. It was a lot of fun if a little time consuming.

Tinkerer Girl

Tinkerer Girl Model

Techniques used:

  • Sculpting

Materials used:

  • White tack

Fun Fact:

  • I discovered white tack was a good thing to sculpt with purely on a whim. It's very forgiving to work with and due to the fact that it's easy to reuse. It is a great thing to hone your sculpting skills with. (Also it is cheap.)

Wasteland Cyborg

Wasteland Cyborg Model

Techniques used:

  • Sculpting.
  • Kit bashing.
  • Painting.

Materials used:

  • Warhammer kits.
  • Green Stuff

Fun Fact:

  • This comes from the same world that the killer robot comes from as they're both powered by the same mysterious green goo.
