Anywho since people have been asking for more posts of other's work, I figured I would make a thread posting some finished projects and some WIP.

In the thumbnail is my 28mm scale soviet KV-1/KV-2 for Bolt Action/Chain of Command/whatever WWII game I can play manufacturered by Warlord Games. Also if anyone has any pictures of real KV-2s with soviet insignia/anti-fascist slogans, that'd be great since I couldn't find any when I was doing research on this. Very few KV-2s survived the war.

Show

28mm soviet weapon teams. Heavy mortar, vickers machine guns, and DP-27/28 LMGs. Variety of manufacturers, namely the Toy Soldier Company and Wargames Foundry.

Show

Chibi Sherman with Kay from Girls Und Panzer. I sculpted the Kay from scratch. It was my first time sculpting a person, so I wanted to do something that didn't need to be completely accurate. I really, really needed to have more sculpting wire because those fingers were a pain. The face also ended up being a little too flat. Not a serious project, was just something I got for Christmas to bang together real quick.

Show

28mm Raptorling Riders from Warmonger Miniatures. These guys were a blast to paint. I use them mainly as Squig Hoppers in Warhammer.

Scratch built orc baggage train for use in God of Battles or whatever scenarios in other games. The orc driver was my second mini from scratch after doing Kay above. The boar and squigs were made from leftover Games Workshop bits. The wagon itself is poster board with the paper peeled off and carved into before sealing it with Mod Podge. The wheels were wrapped in sheet styrene (a.k.a. plasticard) and leftover bitz were used as details for the rest of the wagon. The furs are simply torn pieces of paper from the poster board layered over tissue paper and sealed with Mod Podge.

I've hit the image limit so I'll come back later to add more in the comments.

    But wait....there's more!

    Some ork stuff from the Speed Freekz box set by GW. I went a little overboard with the mud and completely covered up the nice checker pattern I had on the front. Oh well it still looks nice.

    Show

    Scratch building a Stompa. This is an ongoing WIP. If I have leftover scraps of styrene or excess putty, it goes on the Stompa. That way, I'm not throwing away perfectly good materials just because they're small and I can't use them right away.

    Show

    Part of the Gnome Guard by Tom Mason (go watch his YouTube channel for sculpting lessons). I'm using this as a Saurus Warrior for Warhammer Fantasy. I really like how he turned out. The one thing I would have done differently is not have so much texture on the Jaguar fur. I should have painted the fur on, rather than making it this way so I could have had more distinct spots.

    Show

    More Gnome Guard. These ones will represent various skinks, whether it's Cohorts, Scouts, or Chameleons. With this project, I'm doing more to explore the Four Canonical Painting methods of the Renaissance, specifically Cangiante. Frank Frazetta was a master of it and it really adds to the fantastical nature of his paintings. I've gone with Cobalt Blue to shade in areas, rather than using a dark wash.

    Show

    Goliath Genestealer Cult and Ordo Xenos Inquisitor. These guys didn't take as long as I thought they would. Went by rule of cool when deciding on weapon load outs and conversions. The second pic is the Inquisitor's underpainting/grisaille. I'll post pics of the assembly and greenstuff stages. Hexbear is getting mad at the amount of images being uploaded.
