I am sculpting these miniatures, you see.

Not many words.
Look; pictures!

These I will paint.

Some nice items.

More dire bat face

Courtesy sleep deficit:

Notes: progressing slowly. Lots of technical challenges. I tried to kick the hand up a notch. Doesn’t show so well with the lighting. The ears membrane I realized will have to serve only as a support for the sculpted surface. It’s too thin to do anything with.

Lots of work yet remains.

Got some new gear.

Dire bat and Vampire spec-ops - 28mm WIP

Facing some interesting and educational challenges so far. I'm looking forward to seeing things flesh out more but it's really fun.

The sleeve I freestyled as I sculpted it. It occurred to me on the fly to add the outerwear and to sculpt him as wearing a military style sweater. It just seemed too silly and awesome to pass up.

Give us a hand, willya?

Trying out this new/old hand technique. It's difficult to get the right thickness and smoothness as well as give some more specific description to the anatomy of the hand. A very intense session, sculpting that. I mixed some Green Stuff into the putty to give it higher stickiness so that it would adhere better to the bare copper wire.

I should do whatever gear and details go on the torso before dressing up the anatomy of the arm.

I like big bats and I cannot lie

I've done some work. The amount of mass on the bat creature is pure insanity compared to what I'm used.

New project: Vampire spec-ops riding Dire-Bat

Starting on a new project
1:56/Warpunk/Vampire Spec-Ops riding Dire-Bat.

I'm keen to see how it goes. There are going to be a lot of special challenges.


The scale 1:56 is a good fit for 28mm miniatures size. I'm working right now mostly in Green Stuff AKA blue/yellow Kneadatite. Later I'll use KraftMark ProCreate which I prefer for the outer layers work. That's just a personal preference.

The Warpunk genre is simply a mash up between stock fantasy and 20th century military themes.
