Been quite a bit since I posted anything.
Still doing a lot of stuff though & have lots to share.
Here are some infantry from Panthera . I like his work a lot especially the split core ( separate torso & legs) .Loads of possibilities for kitbashing.
Papsikels Fukimasa Battle Droids are among the best around.
Enjoy
Thanks for your comments.

Hey. Do You have link for this Infantry?
ReplyDeleteHey Ryoken.
ReplyDeleteOff course.
This is his Patreon link. I suggest you go through the posts as he gives free sample minis from time to time.

You can also look him up on Cults3D, here.

Note that some of the minis I did are kitbashed.
The above links should help.

The base material is made up of mostly natural stuff mixed with liquid limestone acrylic sealer.
ReplyDeleteEarth, sand, tea, coffee , leaves, crayons, colour pencils ,cork etc. I found a cheap coffee grinder from Lidl that is great for grinding. Even grinds 3d printed resin supports which is super for rubble (Note i grind outside because most dust is harmful ).
Sometimes I add drops of concentrated grout colour to get different shades. I also thin white acrylic wood paste with the sealer to a sludge.Then fill old W&n plastic colour bottles with the stuff. I put a sample of it on the cap as an indicator. Scrape it off when a new batch is made. Small pieces of dried paint can be ground also.
I have around 10 different shades of green & brown, plus bright colours for alien terrain. There are loads of pics on my blog.
The plants are all hand made from dried asparagus fern leaves.Coloured according to need.
Doing camo on 15/18 mm is not easy ( doesn't look perfect under the camera ) but looks good on the table top. Paint & thin permanent markers were used to do it.

The Paps mechs are around 36 - 37 mm high & base is 32mm .
ReplyDeleteI have other Paps mechs on my blog.

Armour & transports still being done but you will like them for sure.
Oh , just to edit "Ground colour pencils " is referring to the colour bit and NOT the whole pencil ( though I think you can do that also if
you shave it first using a sharpener then the coffee grinder. Grinding the whole pencil might overload it & most probably burn the motor.
And please be very careful when using coffee grinder type machines, always remove the electrical plug before poking your fingers into it.
I also have a much heavier grinding diy contraption but using an angle grinder ;)
Here's what one can do with rough ground crayons for lava.

Also ( in the spirit of the my usual reduce, reuse , recycle ) you can also grind the dried up paint on say citadel type tubs and it works great as it is well pigmented.
Ask if you have questions. :)
May you be inspired
