Thantos's Sculpting Log

[Big Bene]

Ha thats awesome! I wonder if its possible to cast that... hmmm

I liked it a lot when i first saw it, and I'm still wanting to make one, too. Have the glitter sticking around somewhere catching dust... just too many projects...
I think the "gems" look too big and unrealistic compared to the ingenius rest of the scene and really somewhat ruin the effect.
Now, is it castable? It may be, but it would be difficult to paint decently and still would not look as good as the "real" coins in the Reaper example. Perhaps one could make (and cast) a room with a pre-modelled gold "hill", complete with weapons and other precioses sticking out, and include a bag of glitter to glue on. You could also make some better gemstones of clear resin, but these would have to be extremely small and probably difficult to cast (or to separate form the sprue).

Oh yea, some new stuff

Did you make these? I think the modelling work is really superb, but frankly, Ipersonally find only the boarman interesting enough to consider buing it.
By the way - I'm still checking regulary if Ampersand's wizard (and Elf) are finally orderable...

[Thantos]

Not sculpted by me (unfortunately) by a german chap called Gregor who heads up Runecast.

Was in contact with Amp, hes pretty busy at the moment but assures me hes going to send the greens on shortly.

[Redav]

G'day. Just letting you know that the order arrived safe and sound. Many thanks!

[Thantos]

Glad to hear Redav Good luck in your dungeon!

[Thantos]

Well Cave dragon is all sorted n in store.


Potions are also in store now too


Candles will be up soon.


And there is something else... i swear i have forgotten something ... hmmm...

[Sjeng]

lol stop the teasing
I like the dragon sculpt a lot, but the structure on the wings is a bit weird to be honest...

[Thantos]

Thats a Bob Naismith and John Pickford collaboration sculpt that is

Oh yea i guess there was some elf n dwarf casts too





Really pleased with them myself, first cast i ran has no bubbles or miscast areas. A little tricky demounding them, but all the individual fingers are cast fine.
And ive upgraded my resin supplier now so its easier to cut and clip with these. Now the same (damned expensive) brand used by forgeworld

Ill do a thread for Ye Olde Inn preorders if people want to get hold of them before general sale.

Your last photo tells us where you keep all your secrets . Those do look good and glad they came out nice.

[Sjeng]

Sweet! Reserve a set for me, I'll order them along with the barbarian (which might take a long while, I know). By then you might have some more cool stuff.

[TMU]

Niiice!
