Hot-rodding my hot rod for Gaslands.

When cars wreck, you turn them over and they become terrain. Good excuse to model the mechanical bits underneath! Third-party wheels and crew would help, but for now I'm enjoying the scratch-built extras.

Currently obsessed with plastic bread clips. Great for testing out new paints, techniques, and color schemes. Also a source of plasticard for modelling. #minipainting

Another #oldhammer #genestealer converted for proportion and pose. I love these original designs. They just need a bit of love. #blanchitsu #inq28 #greenstuff

The bone shield! The jawbone gorget! So cool!

The wacky hair/fur/shotgun combo on this dude make him one of my favorites from the set. Very Blanche.

thx!

A nuppeppo from Japanese folktale: lil' meat-guy that likes to gross people out with its blobby appearance and rotten-corpse smell. The first time I've sculpted a mini from scratch!

Another #oldhammer genestealer hybrid converted for proportion and pose. This guy sat for years in a box, almost finished. I managed to resist the urge to redo everything and instead just let it be a marker of lessons learned. Onward and upward!

It's a sign you need to go bigger!

Two goblin green glazed, please

Taking notes on the my fav parts of the malstrain models

Oh no! If you're not careful, you'll soon be making your own custom jigs.

This same thing continued in the US through the mid-20th century. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redlining

Seconding cut and pin, at least for skirmish warbands. I also glue halved washers into the bases and fill the rest with epoxy putty leftovers. This makes the base solid so it won't flex and break the glue bond. It's also very stable on uneven terrain.

It's hard to see here because of the surfacer, but extending their necks a bit does wonders. That fleshy texture is easy to sculpt and very forgiving of imperfections.

Reposing a classic: Silhouette more focused on iconic design elements. Actually looking at other models in game. Sneakier. Creepier.

Old #jesgoodwin sculpts really hold up with more-realistic proportions.
