18mm Cultists

These are from Duncan Shadow .

Very nice minis & in parts so would be great for 28mm games like Silver bayonet.

I got parts from other models so as to make them more modern as the minis are equipped for fantasy ( e.g. bows ) though the knives can be used in any setting.

Again as I said before, I print 18mm as whole minis. Quite like how they came out & will do more with daggers & an Hmg, perhaps.

The metal mini is an 18mm GZG model.

More painted models

Here we see one of the preachers of the word being transformed into a creature from another dimension/warp ( result could be random - from a squirming tentacle to a fully fledged demon. The demon is a fantasy metal mini.

Here's a model I kitbashed Doris the sad eyed familiar.

18mm Scifi Raygun Raptors

I got these Raygun Raptors on KS last year & finally decided to do them out in 18mm.

Quite nice minis with a lot of variation and quite unique weaponry.

They come in parts & it does take quite some time to build them in 3D builder. I almost always print

whole 18mm minis. Printing parts is for 28/32mm. Too fiddly to glue.

These are the stormtroopers & the metal mini is a GZG one.

Here are some more.

Squat Judges.

Hello again all,

I got Papsikels "Squats" on patreon & decided to do a kitbash from various parts.

A short judge dread!!! 

The metal figure is an 18mm GZG Brethren mini.

Thanks for your comments.

GZG New Israelis 18mm Scifi

These minis which remind me of the Spartans in Halo are some of the nicest & beefiest around. They complement the light infantry perfectly ( 3rd pic from last ).  Their Golem Power armour ( last 2 pics ) are quite nice also. The separately moulded arms/weapons add variety but these types of minis are becoming too fiddly for me to superglue.😓

What can I say I love metal minis as they beat 3d printed ones hands down because they are heftier. Having said that, plastic ( i.e. polystyrene) ones are much more versatile for converting etc.

I had a stack of them & it was quite a job to finish them but perseverance pays out in the end. I printed some design compatible Banshee mechs as battle suits. These are superb & free https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-bnc-3m-banshee-for-battletech-104769

18mm Gitungi Mechs - 3D Printed

Hello again all,

These are my take on Gitungi mechs.

I found an art model on sale at Daz3d  https://www.daz3d.com/heavy-mech and since it is very similar to a Gitungi decided to convert it to a 3mf then to stl. The crew are converted from a DutchMogul model.

Models made for art purposes ( & there are splendid ones to be found ) are usually more finely detailed than those designed for printing so I had to remove tiny parts which would prove problematic in printing & strengthen the ankles etc. It does take time but worth it in the end.

I think it fits the bill perfectly.

The infantry & vehicles are here [url]https://castrarunis.blogspot.com/2020/03/gitungi-by-micropanzer.html[/url]

and here https://castrarunis.blogspot.com/2020/11/finished-prime-movers-gitungi-vehicles.html

It is not all a bed of roses. Resin printing reminds me of the Win95 play with words " Plug & Pray " instead of " Plug & play ".

Went to print some more - same model - 3 failures ( both with missing fist arm, one seems to have met Dart Vader !! & the other just supports remained ) & 2 damaged Fep later. 

Only the Gods of printing know what happened...... printed 2 more arms & I will use the cut one in a diorama or something.

Thanks for your comments.

3D printed droids - 18mm from Papsikels

Hello again all,

These are from Papsikels.

I must say that they do some very nice & diverse droids/robots. Super for scifi & cyberpunk.

Will post more of their models. They are designed for 28/32mm but as you can see they work great in 18mm.  

And here are some more from Papsikels.

And some more of their robotic goodness 

Thanks for your comments. Z
