Scalewise, those look like they might be 10mm not 15mm.

… yeah I know the feeling, I’ve been planning to do my own minis for years, but I never get round to it 😛 ha ha ha hmmm …the amount you can get out of a mold depends a lot on the undercuts, because they can tear the molds if they catch on the rubber […]

p.s. when using Zbrush to sculpt for minis, the process is a little bit different
because you need to be very careful about how thin things are 🙂
and you just need to adapt the process a bit to make sure the different parts make a solid shell 🙂

Fantastic stuff @oathsworn – can’t wait to read the rules in full 🙂

I’m not afraid of a steep learning curve. Infini-D was a two-month long course!

I use a 3d sculpting program called Zbrush 🙂 http://pixologic.com/ I started out as hand sculptor before I learned 3d so it was perfect for me 🙂 it feels very much like sculpting with 3d clay, it’s just pure awesome 😀 it’s very different to normal 3d programs though ( because it doesn’t suck donkey […]

I’ve been doing a bit of a shop in this regard, @motioninpoetry , as I will eventually get around to making my own figures. I had planned on going with a vulcanized rubber mold, and a two-part plastic or resin, but I wasn’t sure how many reasonable copies you could make before the whole thing came […]

This is really weird timing. My box of Shermans arrived this morning. I was looking at them thinking that I’d need a little help to know how to put them together and then this pops up!
Thanks

@motioninpoetry What 3D program do you use, if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve done a fair bit of 3D modelling, but that was (gasp) twenty years ago, using a program called Infini-D. And that was solely for animation, as I don’t think 3D printers were even on the horizon yet.

… he seems to be shouting a lot, so it must be painful 😛 ha ha

I agree, the PSC Shermans are also just a tad too small sitting next to the Battlefront ones

this is looking great 🙂

@cpauls1 I understand if you can see some similarities between this and the Hephaestus mini, but that’s probably because they were both designed by the same concept artist, Roberto Cirillo 😛 … I think this is more to do with the concept artists personal design style more than anything 😛 on the casting side of things, […]

Over on the Prodos Facebook page, lots of people seem to think that the ‘would you like to know more?’ tagline at the bottom of the image means that Prodos is actually licencing Heinlein’s Starship Troopers universe, or more accurately the cinematic version of that setting, but those are definitely Zerglings and Hydralisks in model […]
