I have three main armies in various stages of modeling and painting. I am mainly in it for the love of modeling and so I don't get very caught up in fluff or rules considerations. I have been inspired by many blogs on Dakka and so now I guess its my turn to share.

My latest completed project started as a "Fisher Price" toy garage. It was also the first time I experimented with rust/corrosion effects

I bought a large collection of Tyranid that included a whole bunch of the old warrior model which I think are completely ridiculous. But when combined with some modern warrior bitz I think they turned out pretty cool.

Had a lot of fun with these guys, I love gretchin

I'm in shock no one has commented yet! these are fething amazing! Nice work

the Fischer Price conversion is brilliant!

My sister used to have that garage! You did a great job with it; I didn't recognize it until you pointed that out. Everything else is good as well. The Gretchin are painted nicely.

I got some Nobz completed



Started on the skin for these guys





Working on a looted wagon


My favorite pet hobby at the moment... SQUIGS

Got another leg fleshed out last night, hoping to work on the details today.

Really dig the Warrior combo, that turned out damn fine. Also the goblin riding a turtle, 'nuff said.

Did a little work on the face, added some eyeballs. I plan on casting this guy so I may make the teeth as a separate pieces.

I would say leave the pupils for painting, sculpted on it looks odd.

Yea Im sitting here staring at it, thinking the same thing

I have always thought a white undercoat
makes a model look a bit cartoonie. O well the figs look great!

Wow that FP toy conversion is epic. How does it scale with 40k?

And I'm am always a fan of BLKOrk conversion. Great stuff so far cant wait for more.

Those are some scary looking nobz! Also great work on that garage!

An early WIP of the Fisher Price garage

Dude that is awesome. And its almost like it was make for 40k. Great idea. Now everyone will be look for these toys to make 40k terrain.

Yay! I love your conversion of the garage. I personally have used one of their old white castle things for a Fantasy castle (Pics in my gallery when I get home tonight), but no-one in my local club wants to use it because they can't be bothered to figure out rules for it

I have to say you've done a great job on the weathering effects, especially with the rusted corrugated metal and elevator, and I especially like the little posters on the support columns!

Now I'm tempted to find one of their old McDonalds restaraunts and make a wrecked drive-thru, with tank traps in the drive-thru-lane

Here is a little side project I have been working on. I got some trees from the model train shop and put them on cheap craft store magnets. The plan is to put the metal sheet under my battle mat and arrange the forest however I want. It works pretty well. I hindsight I should have used small rare earth magnets so they wouldn't be so obvious. I had some ordered but that fell through... I still have 23 tree armatures so once I get my magnets from K&J I will finish it off.
They are pretty fun to put together you can twist and bend the armature into what ever shape you want. I painted them with some bulk brown and then spots of Bleached bone and small dabs of camo green.


ignore the glue it dried clear....


Also I picked this up at a garage sale for 25 cents, it was a boring glossy brown color so I put 3 shades of grey on it. Thinking about plugging the hole on top with magnets for some kind of turret or comm tower.


And finally I picked these babies up for 3 dollars!!! Its the really old version with crappy terminators but the genestealers are pretty decent and none of them are assembled or painted!!! Its a pretty complete set from what I can tell. I figure I will paint up the terminators as corroded copper statues for a terrain piece..

This is some solid work. Thanks for sharing.

The FP Garage is awesome i am going to have to sort through my sons old toys tonight lol.

The Fisher Price parking garage is Excellent! Great piece of scenery to play on !

Loving the conversion. What did you use to make the corrugated steel sheets?

For my next terrain conversion I picked up some hirst-arts molds. If you have never heard of them I highly recommend them. https://www.hirstarts.com/

The Blue molds are from the SCI-FI section of Hirst-Arts. The others I made with Smooth-On products.


After quickly casting them a few times I have a huge selection of parts. Note the first couple cast came out with some bubbles but after a few casts they improved. I am using cheap plaster for this project mainly because I cant find "Dental Stone" in my area. I have resin but I reserve that for miniatures and stuff..




When I picked up the FP garage I also got the airport for 2 bucks.

the cool thing about it is this large folding catwalk thing

You can see I have already glued down some detail pieces. Im going for a transport unloading station...

I decided to use some of the poorly cast pieces anyways... battle damage right?

More interesting pieces I found at a garage sale. Cant wait to start converting...

gotta love the gothic statue set into a modern building...

hmmmm... decapitated Aquilla?

That´s some really amazing terrain pieces! I think I should start looking at some of the local garage sales myself. Fisher Price seems to fit the 40k scale pretty good. Nice Work!

Thanks, I forgot to mention this last pile of goodies where free

Started working on a fallen manufactorum tower. I cut it in three pieces and glued it down to some wood. I filled the inside with plaster to add some strength to the fallen parts.


Added some debris

coolio

You continue to astound me with the awesomenes sof your conversions from random garage sale items

Did a bit more work on my squig sculpt. I need to redo the feet, I have new claws made already. I also plan to fill in the pupils of the eyes.

Nice finds. I always tell myself that I'm gonna go garage saleing but never do.

Your squig is looking really go also. Keep it up.

Thanks for the encouragement!

Here are a couple pieces I am working on.. Grot Bionics!
I plan to make a couple more arms, a torso, legs, and backpacks. hopefully they will cast well and I can mass produce them.

Awesome find at the garage sale! Love the creativity you have put into your terrain. Hope to see more!

I laid down the primary colors on my fallen tower. Hopefully by tonight I will have finished adding the remaining colors so I can wash, weather and highlight it tomorrow.

blue? interesting
cant wait to see what happens

You do some great work man! keep it up! subbed!

Awesome stuff! That looted wagon further up is just great. I never see ork players using tau gear on their looted wagons, its always the same IG or SM stuff. Really unique...i didnt see it finished so im hoping you post something on it soon! And of course the painting on the orks is fantastic(k)!!

Thanks for the support guys!

I decided to list all my works in progress...

c) Tyranid - organic, Alien, egg sacs, rippers?

The fact that you cataloged and listed your projects makes you a better man than I am. Once I had the idea to get all of my unpainted minis out and line them up for painting...that was too much for me to ask myself, too scary.

Quick tip, if you're stuck using cheaper plaster than dental stone, you can add a little bit of watered down PVA glue to the plaster to at least make it slightly less crumbly, but it will take longer to set. Also, brushing on watered down PVA after the plaster dries will help strengthen it as well.

I honestly dread painting troops. The problem is I love building them! It just alot of repetitive details to paint. Terrain is a different story because each piece is unique. So building projects keep floating to the top of the list while my armies sit neglected

Thanks for the tip! I really enjoy your work BTW. I use a wall patching product called "fix-all". It is really cheap, dries pretty fast, and will hold up to some serious abuse. The only issue I have is minor chipping if dropped on concrete. Haven't had a problem with it crumbling at all. I have had some success eliminating bubbles by soaking the molds in water mixed with a couple drops of flow aid, a tip I got from the hirst-arts website.

Ok so I finished off my fallen tower scenery. Well I still have to spray it with a matte seal (bad weather right now) and then add a couple glossy highlights. Comments and Ideas are always welcome thank you for looking!









Tell me what you think!

Wow! Looks great! Have yo gotten anywhere on the got you teased about earlier?

thanks RS! I have made some progress on it! I am completely scratch building it with the intention of making it a kit. I finished detailing a servo arm last night, almost done with a super dakka arm. in the next couple days I hope to mold 2 torsos, 4 arms, and one back pack. once I cast these I will do more work on the legs. Maybe when I get home tonight I will blue tac one together and snap some pics.

You rock! Can't wait to see the fisher price stuff. Its this kind of creativity that really makes the hobby for me. Right there with you about painting troops - I'd farm it out if I could afford that. Much more fun creating them.

Can't wait to see it! I too love converting/building stuff...HATE painting! (it scares the BeJeebus out of me!)

Here is the cyber goblins I have been working on, still a long ways to go as far as details.

one of two generic torsos taking shape

arms and backpack bits

A couple shots of the dakka arm tacked to a torso with a temporary head and pointy arm


A couple shots of the mech kit tacked to a different torso with a temporary head



Again the heads are only temporary. I plan to sculpt cyber type heads. The mech kit will have guitar wire type mechandrites and maybe a tool bag full of wrenches. The dakka arm will have a sculpted bicept and shoulder. After I cast the top half I will work on a couple leg sets.

Those are brilliant! Freaking awesome!

Forgive me if you mentioned it before, but are you making these for an IG based Grot army?

I can't wait to see more!

Awesome! He looks like a Goblin Mega Man posing with his outstretched finger! Very cool!

RSJake wrote:

No they are just for my standard ork army at this point. Its more of an exercise to prove to myself that I can make a pose-able miniature kit from scratch.

I do love Grot IG Armies though..... so who knows

Either way, I can't wait to see the end result!

I got inspired and quickly turned out another servo arm. It only took about 15 minutes and I snapped some pics and made a tutorial. Hope it helps inspire you.
Tutorial : http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/402303.page#3414552

Oh, wow, really amazing stuff here - awesome skills. That terrain piece works really well - great as an objective marker.

...and, seriously... $3 for two completely intact boxes of Space Hulk?! Nice find!

Keep up the good work.

BALLZ!! That's incredible work! The terrain is lloking great. I love the blue flower thing, it's a great detail.

Those servo arms and sculpted grots

Subscribed!

Very nice terrain, the colours remind me of a planet from Mass Effect. The last guitar sring hand is just what I was looking for to make my next grot!

That's superb stuff.

And thank you for tutorials - it's very handy.

WOW


the FP conversion is getting borrowed, Thanks Sir

Here is a sneak peek of my WIP grot cyber legs

very smart mate genious idea on the terrain

Your plasticard work is brilliant, I exalted your tutorial for reference,very handy.

Very clever plasticard work. Well done, Depraved, excellent execution.

Thanks for the support guys... Haven't had much time to work on my projects lately but I do have some pictures coming. I got the fisher price airport completely detailed. Just waiting on a clear day to prime it. Im part way through sculpting a cyber grot head. The teeth are trickier than I imagined they would be. The two torso's I have been working on are complete. I will probably make a mold of them and the cyber bits soon.

I haven't had much time to surf lately, but your Cyber-Grot progress is awesome! The legs are a trip! I am working on my own cyber-grot for the Waaagh Dakka, but it won't be for mass production. I can't wait to see all the parts put together! I like where the torso is going! And I can't wait to see your sculpted head!

Man, this stuff is pretty incredible! Im especially loving your scenery! WOW

I poured the second half of a mold containing 2 torsos, the legs and 2 cyber arms. I poured it last night and I won't get to open it up until I get off work today. I'm hoping it will cast well. I made a ton of wireframe sketches for full body sculpts and I spent last night trying a few different methods of making armatures. Most of them didn't work out.

For the fallen tower, what did you use for the moss and vines?

DrCrook wrote:For the fallen tower, what did you use for the moss and vines?

Most of the plants are from a model train store.

the moss is clump foliage of different colors, like http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/woo/woofc683.htm

The Vines are wire panted green, sprinkled with parsley and then sprayed with matte.

I also used some flock on the fallen portion... like so http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/woo/woofl634.htm

Ok the first cast of my new mold turned out pretty decent. Im sure it will get even better as I use it more.

Grot face WIP

The casts look great! And the grot head looks promising! I like the teeth!

Very Cool dood!

i love the terrain great stuff

Not a very productive weekend as I ended up playing Space Marine for Xbox instead of working on my projects. I did manage ti slap together a prototype cyber grot. The power claw did not cast well but I left it as is.. I will probably redo the legs as well. I rushed the paint job, which I regret, but here it is...






I probably should have cleaned it up a little more after taking the pieces from the mold but I was impatient. perhaps I will spend more time on the next one....

Very nice and solid this one is! Yeeesss...

OMG, that is so badass. Very very well done. He looks like he is limping a bit, A great artist can capture action in a single pose. Again, very very well done.

prototype cyber grot #2 WIP

Awesome! I like the battle damage of the "miscast klaw" Makes it look used.

The leg possitioning is a bit awkward, but then again, it looks like he's stalking his next victim! Are the legs positionable? Or are they a single piece? I think a standing pose would look good too.

Is that your sculpted head?

Can't wait to see #2!

The legs are positionable, I wanted something different because all of the GW grots look like they are squating down. I may have over done it a bit. It doesnt look so dramatic from a table top view as it does from eye level. For a prototype Im happy with it. The 1st legs are a bit thin for casting though so I have a few WIP ideas for round two. my next mold will have two different leg types, a torso, and a couple squigs. That is not my sculpted head by the way.... really need to get that done!

Well, keep up the good work, I'll be watching for your next go around!

Going with a beefer, easier to cast cyber leg..

Here it is attached

and my much neglected squigs, any left over greenstuff I have mixed from other projects goes on them... they will get done eventually. Here is a family photo after their recent meal of leftovers.

THose are your sculpts? THose are fantastic! Cast those up, I'll buy some!

Thanks man, that means alot to me! They still need some work, but when I do cast I will keep you in mind.

That cyber leg looks kick-ass! Does it make him too tall? Or is it that tiny? Your work astounds me! Love it!

It's a pretty tiny leg! I used measurements from the grot assistant in the background. It may be +/- 1mm but my aim is to give them character still while retaining their runt stature.

Awesome! scale is so hard to tell sometimes. I'm constantly holding the pieces I'm working on up to a mini of similar scale just to see if it'll work. And that's when the piece in question is in my hand! I'm totally lost looking at pictures!

again no real progress, but here is my pumpkin head warboss

Love the Warboss 'umpkin 'Ead!

No prgress on the cyber grots? :(

No, I haven't had the time to pick up a razor knife or GS in a week or so! I think I am going through withdrawls.
I did sketch up a few things, like an idea for a Grot strapped with explosives chasing a squig with the detonator.

Hahahahaha!
I like it!

that would be a funny model to have, another thing you could do is a squig with a collar and its chain is wrapped around the grots leg taking him on for the ride

Laying out my weekend projects







work work work

Holy Crap! Wow! Rock on dood! Will be watching.

thats a lot of GS

Super cool tasty bits there! That's quite a lot of awesome sculpting. Man, now I'm looking forward to the end of the weekend to see what you can turn out.

I like those cyber legs.
And the sketch of Grot chasing a squig is hilarious! Greate concept

Just discovered this plog. Your plasticard work is really inspiring. I need to get around to buying some. It would make my life so much easier! Your squigs look very cool too! Looking forward to more.

It's been far too long since I posted here and I have a lot of catching up to do. First time posting with an iPad.. Here goes


This is a vehicle I built from ramshackle games for a post apoc GURPs game I had running for awhile. The gun is attached via magnet.


Another one from ramshackle. This one is mainly used for scenery.


The next three shots are a fisher price airport that I started a few years back, I still would like to add some finishing touches.




And another toy turned scenery

Holy Crap! I had that airport!! -Needs rivets

@dsteingass yes rivets are needed.


So for my birthday I got a new camera which I am totally thrilled about. I can finally post some worthy images.

Lets start with a project I mentioned a while back. My Magnetic Forest. I used railroad trees, and magnets to create a kind of modular forest. All the pieces can be rearranged at will.

A close up of some the zombies seen above,

When I was in the army we built wooden kill houses to practice room clearing. This next project was inspired by that.
I built these using my jigsaw. Here they are laid out like a city street.

Here they are as multistory buildings

Or a single large building... with furniture

A close up of the kitchen

and just because I had the jigsaw out I started a 28mm dollhouse



These pre made little jewelry boxes made great pill boxes.



Thanks you looking. All comments and suggestions are welcome.

Love the pill boxes! They look fantastic, and I may need to borrow that idea

@darkPrince010 thanks! they were very cheap, fast and easy.

I have made an oath that I will not build, convert, sculpt, mold or cast anything until I make a significant dent in my paint list. I have several character figs that I want to spend some time with and then I have an entire Tyranid army that I am going to spray, base, and dip.

Here are a few shots from my WIP paint tray.

My son is putting together a space marine army. Here is his first squad that we built and base coated together.
An aspiring champion conversion for my Chaos army.

Some children for DnD games..

Alice in Wonderland...

I keep all my painting stuff in a small cabinet and when I set up to paint I usually have to make several trips. I made this simple little tray that will fit in the small cabinet and still hold all my stuff.


I am truly focused on getting my painting done. I got lucky and had a good day of sun and primed most of my tyranids.

Besides that I have just been working on painting my sons Space Marine squad. He helped build, picked the scheme, and helped basecoat the red. Now Im picking out the details before highlighting and washing.

The color I am using for my sons Space Marines is a mix of Red and Orange. I am trying to decide whether to highlight with Orange or a mix of orange and yellow. Any suggestions?

I have so far been able to hold true to my oath. No building until all painting is done. It is not easy for me... So many great ideas that I want to start. I just got some procreate in the mail and I am eager to get back to sculpting. I want to cast up some custom grots and squigs. First I need to paint 200+ tyranids, 30+ orcs, 2 chimeras, a basilisk, a repressor, a rhino, and tons of other misc...

Most recently I have been nearing the end of this space marine squad. I plan to give them a red wash and then some extra highlights.


Got the base coat done on my basilisk crew. Not happy with the range finder.

My commissar is just about ready for a wash

Working on getting some entertainment for the troops...



A couple psychers in the early painting stages..



Thanks for looking.

I have had these guys done for a while now but I haven't gotten around to posting them. I am using pig-iron miniatures for a Rebel IG. The idea is that they are NOT crazed chaos cultists but rather just good soldiers following the orders of a corrupt few. That way they can have a clean professional look and still be evil.

Urban scheme

Forest scheme

Sniper team


I still need to paint the vehicles but I am waiting until I get an Airbrush for that. I am really love the wicked tank treads on these guys. I see that I may need to scrape off the skull and wings in a few places..

I like the added details on that basilisk. Nice and spikey!

Good stuff, dude. Love how those old school CSMs turned out...

I have not gotten any work done on my todo list for awhile. I did play some MageKnight today..

Man, I haven't seen Mage Knight stuff in forever... Nice setup, dude.

Man, that's always hard to keep promises like that, 'cause there's always more stuff you want to build, new stuff you want to try...
I'd recommend, by the way, instead of a red wash, pick up some Liquitex Payne's Gray acrylic paint (like $2-3 at an art supply shop), thin it and do a wash with that. Works with just about any color, and looks WAY better than 99% of colored washes, in my opinion. Do a search on Payne's Gray wash and you'll see what I'm talking about.
I think the basilisk crew looks f'ing awesome.

I got another Nob painted! yay.....

Yes! Just barely sliding under the Threadcromancy timeframe.

Found a couple of your images when I was surfing the Gallery and had to find if you had a thread or not. Glad to see that you do. Your terrain is excellent! I especially like the weathering effects you've accomplished, and I'm really impressed how you've taken a Fischer Price toy garage and turned it into a functional and completely believable piece of wargame terrain.

The Zombies caught my attention as I've been putting a LOT of them together lately. And I also like the Cultists a lot. Your projects are all over the place and they are all very cool.

Subbed. I know you do not update frequently, but from what I've seen so far it's worth the wait.

@Skalk - Thanks man. Those zombies where a lot of fun to paint.

I have decided to update and consolidate my terrain. I tossed some older pieces out into the garage to be reprocessed into something new. I have seen lots of "ruined city" builds… well mine is more of plain old city. Instead of collapsed walls and ruin I intend to have intact buildings full of purpose. I prefer small skirmish games so this suits me well.

My first update was to rip out a couple levels from the parking garage. I never really liked the way the multiple levels played. Too hard to move your models under.



The next project is updating my kill house concept. I cast a bunch of detail parts to give each room more flavor. I still need to paint them up to match the parking lot…

Also put this check point type shelter together from a kit. I like it, I think it needs some more detail work, some plant life, spent shell casings or something.... Bad lighting in this picture, sorry.

dude that fishr price painjob its sweet ware you from btw

Your terrain is so very cool. It will be a huge twist on how games are played.

Have you had any problems w/ those Hurst casts? I have used them before. They look great but the plaster is brittle and doesn't take much to break off at the base where it is glued.
I've tried liquid and gel superglue. The glue doesn't come undone, it's the plaster that actually breaks at the base. There is always a bit of plaster left glued to the base of whatever I had it glued to. I can re-glue it w/o a problem but it always chips paint and will eventually break again- just above the new glue. . If you check some of my terrain pieces you'll see boxes and barrels and other things cast from Hurst. They look great (Hurst is awesome) but I've had some really bad luck with them.

I love the Hirst arts molds. The durability of the cast really depends on the quality of the plaster. The best I have heard of is dental stone... not easy to find in my area. I use a product called FIX-IT-ALL. I buy it at home depot for pretty cheap. It is also very helpful patching holes around the house.

I have had issues gluing it down if I haven't given the plaster enough time to dry. Some people use a food dehydrator or the oven... I like to set it by the fireplace until it gets a yellowish tint to it. I have had to same experience you describe with the plaster breaking and the glue holding, but never with a fully hardened piece.

My Mageknight terrain is around 6 years old and has maybe a handful of chips. Its has been handled pretty roughly too.

I usually cast a bunch at once and then don't use them for a long time (I lose interest in things when I have to wait for them) but I cast with hydrocal (slightly tougher than plaster). I've seen dental stone in action (I've bought some things from sellers on eBay) and while it is tougher it is still prone to breakage. Lost another barrel and crate this weekend in a game.

I need to step up to resin.

Some really nice scratchbuilding and kit bashing in this thread, as well as some excellent painting!

I love the fallen tower - it is rare to see good combinations of urban and overgrown terrain. Very nice.

Thanks that is my favorite piece and I am really happy with how it turned out.

I am clearing some space in my hobby schedule to work on a project I have been excited about for quite a while. For those who haven't seen btldoomhammer's sculpting threads I encourage you to look him up. I bought a set of his possessed terminators and I am in the process of assembling them.

Check out his thread for more http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/534015.page


Please forgive the poor pictures it was hard to capture the details on the white resin. Once I get some paint on them I am hoping you will see how beautiful the detail is on these.




I did a head swap on these guys. I have been itching to use these bits on something.
