These are figures I've been working on the last couple of months. The first one is ca 30 mm to the eyes. Made with a mix of procreate and brownstuff (mostly...
Hello, I just bought a spincast setup from a friend of mine who used to run a small business casting miniatures. I am new and learning how to use all the...
You get different properties and colors. Personally i don't like the color of either vanilla greenstuff or procreate. It's a matter of taste, but i find PC...
I have a question that I could only find references to in the Faq. I'm working on some sculpts that I would like to eventually submit or resubmit to the...
Hola Xenos creo que va bien la figura, el rifle esta quedadndo muy loco jaja, espero ver fotos mas adelantadas de la misma. Aprobecho para avisarte ( y a otros...
Hopefully will post some pics soon. I've been converting reaper minis. One that's already done can be seen here: http://www.thrashweb.net/ImperialKnight.jpg ...
To be honest I haven't tried using vanilla procreate for carving. I mix in either brownstuff or magic sculp (or both) if I'm going to do that kind of thing....
Folks, Has anyone tried the RTV gasket sealer sold in toothpaste tubes sold by auto shops to make molds? If so, any tips on using this product? Thanks, Steve...
Yep I used it "back in the day" unless you are one cheap bastard like I was I'd recommend going to smoothon's website or if you have a local tap plastics in...
Hola Dahisin! Pues si, el rifle esta quedando algo raro sobre todo la punta del cañon que lo hace ver como esas pistolas lasers de los 60s jejeje. En fin, voy...
On the topic of casting, i was in hobbycraft yesterday (I live in the UK, not sure if you guys have it in the US) and I saw they sell casting resin and RTV...
Castaldo has a 2-part putty casting rtv "rubber" called Quik-sil. You mix the 2 parts together. Put enough for 1/2 a mold in a box, add your mini, add some...
Dan You can get the Smoothon products mentioned above from 4D Modelshop. Not cheap either, but may compare favourably. http://www.modelshop.co.uk/ Mike...
Tried the quick-sil. If you aren't FAST on the mixing the putty parts it can be grainy. Also tried Polytek and it was ok. I think my favorite has been...
True about needing to be ready when using the Quik-Sil. I never had a problem with mixing though. One thing to remember is it doesn't need to be mixed...
Long time lurker and thought I'd show some of my work, the latest being an addition to my french Resistance, a cafe owner, in Simon's pictures album. Simon...
What does should a person due to see if a company is interested in buying the sculptures that we make? I know that there is a large convention in Indy around...
I know if i wanted to sell my own mini's I'd create molds myself (not that hard) cast them in easy to mix resin and then sell them from a website and post in...
I seriously doubt they'd take possession without a deal in writing. Make sure you approach a company that works in the style, genre, scale of the mini you're...
Don't bother trying to sell you sculpts. Most (or all) companies currently know what they want for minis; style, genre, scale, proportion, character, etc....
Going to GenCon to meet the art directors and owners of mini companies is one of the best things you can do to get them to look at your work. You can show them...
I can only speak for myself, running my very small "Forge of Ice" miniatures company out of my apartment here in Fairbanks, Alaska. I've had numerous people...
Hi Todd, I cannot speak with authority about Procreate because after my own tests with it, I have decided I prefer Kneadatite. If you haven't tried it yet and ...
