Fairytale troll











The big guy is finally done and with some decent photos too. This is a toy from the "how to train your dragon" movie with a new face and a tail to make it looks like a fairytale troll. The small boar on his shoulder is a decorative bead.
I tried a lot of new techniques on this guy, so it looks a little bit different from my usual style.

I have no intention to play with him, so the base is not legal for any game, but I think he can fit well in Mordheim. 
Barbarian for scale.

Beastie boys

Another band made with old recycled and kitbashed miniatures. 
I'm particularly proud of the minotaur. 
The bases are not finished yet.
It took me months to finish the band and the photos are all over the place.

Scatter terrain

After the big fortress I still was in a terrain mood.
So here some more scatter terrain. 
Some is old, some is new, but it is all for my WH 40k little guys. 





Some toy soldier stuff, the cannon is decent once painted. 






My pride and joy. Cacti.

Foam fortress tutorial (sort of)

Long time no see, I was very busy. 

Recently, I found a very promising bit of packaging and I decided to finally make some terrain. 

Here is a step by step gallery of the project. 

First, composition. Not a lot of work here, the packaging was already looking like a hangar, I simply cut half of it with a knife and glue it together with toothpicks and  school glue.

Then 3 coat of glue+water+sand+paint.

Beads and skewers as details and stairs.


These beads to be precise.

Some dressing made with paper and corrugated cardboard. The re numbers and other posters are small scraps from a newspaper.

Drybrush, drybruks, drybrush.


And a brown wash later here we are.

The front door is only dry fit, so I can drive my rhino inside.


And I can use toy guns for firepower.

More dressing, made with toy parts.


And more newspaper scraps for posters.




And next?

I'm working on some toy soldiers stuff to add some obstacles on the table.

 

What do you think? I'm very happy with the result, and it took a little more than an afternoon.
