"frothers" ???

haha, that diorama looks somehow familiar to the "alien"-fan in me

That diorama is amazing. As soon as I saw it I remembered the scene when Kane gets "facehuggered". Keep up the amazing work.

Diorama is finished


Scale pic

Wow that paint job is amazing specially at that scale. A true inspiration

I am so glad I stumbled across this blog. Navarro, your work is incredible and immensely motivating. Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to following this blog!

I was looking at your painted diorama thinking that is so cool, then I scrolled down and saw the scale shot and realised how small it was.

It didn't twig at first as I didn't take into account the base, I thought it was 28mm. Excellent work

Glad you guys enjoyed it and hope you all get motivated to paint and sculpt more, thanks.

The mini is really tiny and was so fun to do this diorama that I'm thinking on doing more in 2012.

It's phenominal NAVARRO... not just the scale but the fact you've done the diorama-wide OSL perfectly just amazes me.

I really enjoy seeing these NAVARRO, please keep up the updates!

Are you excited to see Prometheus?

Its fun to OSL everything a bit, I now want to try more ambitious colors or even go wild and try out something monochrome.

Prometheus? Its going to be so massive that I have to mentally prep myself for it Can't wait!!

To kick of 2012 a very simple tutorial for all.

cheers

Wonderful work in such a tiny scale with the diorama, I just discovered this thread (I've been under a rock) and the sculpting here is absolutely stunning, keep the updates coming, very awesome stuff!

fantastic tutorial there, really clever techniques

Another little update.

Just finished 9 "pleasure heads"

loving the middle ones and the bottom ones

Agree with Bigfish, those two sets of 3 (middle and bottom) are down-right awesome!

Your sculpting skills are brilliant, i've been using some of your tutorials for one of my projects and its been brilliant help

Glad I could help with tuts, that makes a happy bugger! In Portugal in some rare events I did some sculpting workshops for people and since Im going to the UK maybe one day I will arrange some workshops for folks there.

If you do run some workshops over here, consider me there lol

Great tutorial (love the mushrooms!) and I love the heads!
Great work as always!

Thanks mates

New Stuff!!
Corpses fields base set for secret weapon miniatures:

Nice... gruesome.

I have a question for you. Why do you mike the sculpting of your bases inset like that rather than coming right up to the top? I have some of what I believe are your bases from secret weapon and having the base deep set like that makes them very difficult to work with, especially if the mini has a wider stance. I and up either standing it on the lip, which kid of defeats the whole effect of the base, or putting one foot on and one foot off... which is neat looking but messes with game play.

Actually these are the first ones I did for the new range from secret weapons hollow bases... The plan for these hollow bases is that you can fill the bases with water effects or blood gory effects so that models are knee deep on a base full of nasty cadavers

AH! That makes more sense. Guess I'll need to learn how to do water effects!

Thanks! You do great work. Love the bases you've been showing off here.

Navarro those new bases are insane! I love the gruesome-ness! When can we expect them for sale at Secret Weapon?

Wow, those are fantastic man! I am glad to see you are still as awesome as ever, even in the cold wilderness of Britannia!

Thanks! Loving it over here mate, really cool country!Awesome people etc.


So the cold makes me stay at home sculpting like a crazy in order to warm up my hands... In 5 days I sculpted these bases with the same theme but this time with warmachine style.

New painting project for one rare 15mm yoda... Just sculpted a base inspired in Dagobah
