LOL...that Obelix model! smaller scale and you´d have yourself an awesome looking dwarf....

i like that you used cadian kneeling heavy weapon legs for your blood bowlers....kind of like a sweet revenge for all the kitbashs that have been done the other way to make medieval looking troopers....

I was a little limited by my bits box, I actualy used 3 or 4 already glued empirial models to have all these characters. But it is for the best, I like pirates more than bland empirials

Very busy month, I only painted the two big guys.

I'm back

Some progression on the pirate crew.

Love the pirates, who made the two ogres?

Yaargh. There be Pirates!

Looking good dude.

The fat one is a resculpted Obelix kinder egg surprise, the fit one is an hulk minifigure with an old orc head.

Other creatures made with these hulk minifigures.

Oh that is nice.

*Slow clap*

Terrific stuff- imagination unbound! I've read through the whole string so far and have to admit: seeing some of the materials you started with I thought to myself 'no way is that gonna come out right'. I'm thinking particularly of the wrestling figure. But dang if at the end it isn't a super Norse Frost Giant type character, with no hint of its origins.

I look forward to seeing more mad genius on these pages!

great work, one question though, what is the white stuff with the genie guy with the beard?

Which one?
The sculpting clay is Andrea Sculpt or Milliput, if you are talking about the snow of the blue giant is cheap fake snow made for christmas decorations, made, I think, from cotton, or some plastic fiber.

Ah super fine milliput, I use the standard one as like the bulk for stuff I make as it is cheaper. I have heard of Andrea paints before but never the clay.

Some old stuff, Heroclix conversions.











I got better.

respect! i own some of the above models...and especially the dr. doom conversions are ace as they get!

sabertooth too.and electra is a wicked one...also ben grim as a golem is kind of a very humerous conversion....

I took a break on the pirate crew because I wanted to finish this toy I found.

It's a Huntik Minifigure (https://www.nattoysmodels.com/15196-thickbox_default/huntik-secrets-seekers-3d-serie-1-hoplite-figure-6-7cm-card.jpg), I found it without the shield and the sword but that was not a problem.

I think it can work in Sigmar, maybe a good dragon ogre?

I usually don't make terrain, but lately I'm a little bored in only painting miniatures.

So here a litlle piece made with some trash I had at home.

I wanted something useable in modern, future and steampunk settings.
The base is a little bland, maybe I'll add something later.

Looks good, when I started making terrain I reduced drastically my output of painted miniatures ...I need to refocusing^^
But making terrain can be sometimes more rewarding than painting minis...at least for a sub par painter like me

Thanks, here another.

I'll never end the pirates, I'm too easily distracted.
Well, fimir from a plastic dinosaur, enjoy.

A friend of mine give me some old minis and a lot of old plastic soldiers, pirates and cowboys. I'm making good use of them.

What sorcery is this???

Cracking job.

That Firmir is amazing, and the toy soldier statue is no slouch either.

I'm thinking to begin a blog about my miniatures. What do you think? For the name I like: toy-hammer or toybash.

You mean a separate (stand-alone) blog? Because this one is already great and has good following! Lots of inspiring things.

Yes, but I'll also upload the iamges here and on the other forum I'm subscribed.
But with a blog I'll be able to post some more w.i.p. stuff and maybe some articles.

Well, I'll think about that, for now here a zoat.

I checked my bit box and old miniature collection to see if I can assemble a blood bowl amazon team.
Unfortunately, not. I litterally only have 4 female miniatures in my collection, 3 heroclix and a pathfinderd one.
Ok, a mixed amazon and pygmy team? Lustria for the win?
ehhh, kinda...
I have 3 Fenryll pygmies, not bad but not the best, a box of goblins I can customize...
Ok, no bloodbowl, but at least let me see if I can prepare some "african" themed encounter for d&d.

Here the result.
note: heroclix face sculpts are terrible.
