Hello :) I am interested in having a few ideas turned into miniature figures within the next 45 days (i.e. i'd like to have them started upon in the next 7) ....
Hi all, I wonder if any of you can advise me. I'm doing a sculpt in 28mm of chap with long hair in ringlets. I wonder if any of you might suggest a technique?...
I'm looking to get into using 3D modelling software for sculpting, does anyone in the group have any advice as to which software tool is the best. I've been...
... This is a hard question to answer because there's a lot of personal preference involved. There are a lot of really capable 3D programs on the market that...
I know many folks using Rhino extensively though mostly for straight line stuff like robots and tanks. I like AC3D and Zbrush but I do mostly organic shapes....
This is one that will fall to preference, or more crucially... cost! Personally, I love 3d Studio Max, but am no longer in a situation to use it. For free...
Any sculptors out there who have experience with anthropomorpic figures in 15 mm interested in a sculpting 15 mm Ratmen samurai, ronin, yojimbo, etc? Naga are...
Has anyone responded to you on this? From: poshgoblin To: "1listSculpting@yahoogroups.com" <1listSculpting@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sunday, July 3, 2011 1:49 PM ...
The only way I can think of is to make each ringlet separately. If you roll out a really thin sausage for each one, then twist it gently before stretching by...
To add, if it comes to 3D modelling there are a few different methods of working. I would install a couple of them, go though the tutorials and see what you...
... What about making coils of wire? Fuse-wire wrapped round a suitably small mandrel, then push the coil over so it flattens. Don't know if fusewire will...
Hi Dave, Thanks for your thoughts as I was coming to a similar conclusion in that I realized I was going to have to make each one separately. The method I am ...
... To get an effect like the posted link I would modify your method slightly. Wrap a thin flat strip of putty around a bit of wire or brass rod in a tight...
Hi! My name is Terri and I've been researching 3D printing but there are a few things I can't quite work out and I'm hoping someone here can help me or point...
I've not researched this, but have seen one work. I think it depends on what resolution it is set at for whether it could be a master quality (first ones may...
Hi, - Is the 3D print (or is it Rapid Prototype?) Originally the collective name for the technique is rapid prototyping as this is what is was developed for....
If you look on my website you'll see several examples of parts I've made from 3D printing. The best example is probably here. http://tinyurl.com/69dl3lx This...
... Most of the materials available - especially those that have the kind of detail you'd want for miniatures - would not survive being put in a vulcanizer and...
So from what I understand here, one can use the 3D print process, and have you or someone you know, do the injection casting using low temp sort of plastics or...
Hi, What I described was the process for using 3D printing to create a master that can be used for making moulds for hand or spincasting. Or to use 3D printing...
Thanks to Dave, Katie and Lane for your suggestions. In the end and after a bit of experimentation I settled for using a thin fuse wire core for each ringlet,...
I would 2nd the I hope that there is a sculptors meeting as well. I have not been able to find it for a bit now and would love to listen to the panel or have a...
Does anyone know a source for Bronze Age Miniatures in the US? I'm particularly interested in their Barsoom/John Carter miniatures. Their site doesn't seem...
I'm up for a sculptor's meeting. In the past it has been held on Friday night starting at 8 (or 9?). We've usually met around the area with the painting...
Hello! As I am more in sculpting I see my biggest problem are proportions. I think I have good handling with materials but when I want to copy a thing from...
