You know NAVARRO... what consistently amazes me about your work isn't necessarily your technical acumen. I mean your fantastically talented... but I can grok that. What gets me is your creativity... where in your brain all this amazing stuff comes from. Just blows me away.

**NAVARRO**

Its you guys with all the hundreds of projects you have been posting for decades that inspire my own projects I guess. This hobby is all about recycling and adjusting ideas. Thank you man.

**NAVARRO**

Happy Orktober all!

I converted my megaboss and gore gruntas with the beetles that I have sculpted a year or so ago…

**Gitsplitta**

Amazing work as usual!

**Theophony**

Great stuff, his armor plates make him look like he’s trying to have an armored shell also.

Now you need a dung beetle with the dung ball full of snotlings

.

**Camkierhi**

Oh that is a beautiful thing, or three. So nice to see some action here, and great stuff as always.

**NAVARRO**

Thanks! Most of the things that I have sculpted this year I cannot reveal them yet… so soon enough there are 5 waves of multiple sculpts on the way.

Dung beetle

Classy!

**Jin**

Ooo, you're posting again! Yay!

**Kid_Kyoto**

Always a treat to see your stuff!

**NAVARRO**

Thanks! I dont think I ever posted the giant ant.

**Anvildude**

them... Them... THEM!!!

**amazingturtles**

Now that is the sort of ant i love. Well, i love all sorts, but that is a very good ant is what i am saying

**Gitsplitta**

Fantastic!

**Commander Cain**

Great looking stuff, those beetle riders are fantastic!

**NAVARRO**

Thank you all.

Preparing for next year and its going to be Fungi all the way… heres the first.

**tinfoil**

Very very nice!! Your usual craft. Your characteristic sense of the weird, the alien, the grotesque. Always nice to see to what you've been up to. Always surprising, always unsettling to see what that is.
And I mean that in the most complementary way.

**Camkierhi**

Not Mush-room in here for that kinda thing!!!

Excellent work as always, looking forward to seeing some more around here.

**NAVARRO**

Wow tinfoil that is probably one of the best compliments that I have ever had. Thank you Sir. I always love to discover and create new creatures and like yourself its something that spices my curiosity.

@Camkierhi I will post loads of fungi very very soon.

**Gitsplitta**

I'm very excited about next year then!

**Boss Salvage**

Great first sculpt! Excited to see the weird, tentacular places this project goes

**NAVARRO**

The usual season doodle is in order so…

**Ruglud**

Love these creations fella, that giant mushroom is, as tinfoil says, very unsettling, so you get a

from me.

Merry Christmush to you and yours as well

**NAVARRO**

Thank you Ruglud. May you enjoy the holiday season with plenty of plastic to keep you busy.

**NAVARRO**

Did some bits for my Death Guard. Got some fancy vehicles, so I can Rhino rush.

**Gitsplitta**

Nice conversions.

**insaniak**

I heard you like tanks so... Ahem...

They look great!

**zahnib**

Throughly enjoyed reading through the past fifteen pages of your blog! You're an amazing sculptor, do you do it full time?

**NAVARRO**

Thanks all

Glad you enjoyed the blog. I only sculpt on my free times, long nights after I finish my 9 to 5 full-time job and take care of the kids, put them to bed etc… Usually start up around 10 most days if I'm not reallllly tired and finish up between Midnight and 1 in the morning. I do sculpt a lot on weekends to keep up with demand.
I do love it, even if most of the time is just more work. If I could pay the bills with only sculpting I would do it, but as it stands it's not a profitable venture to pursue.
Graphic designer by day, parent in the evening, sculptor at night.

Blimey! Well you've got quite the talent for it! It probably keeps it exciting though having another full time occupation and just doing sculpting on the side. Graphic design sounds great as well, sounds like you've got a good balance. I look forward to seeing what you produce in the future!

I recognize the tank from the the Russian Chemical Set, where's the other one from?
