Countdown to 2013: HAPPILY SCULPTING!

Autumn is my favorite time of the year, and I am enjoying it very much indeed! I have all of my Body Blanks cleaned up and organized, and now I am working on The TOXIC DEAD Sculptures. Halloween is this month and it is very appropriate that I start work on my Undead Army...

This is the best time of the year...I am having fun, and I hope that you all are too!

TOXIC DEAD BLACK BARREL WIP Preview

Can you Brothers figure out what I am going to do with these?

 

Oh Yes...

Yes, yes, yes!

BULLETS WIP Preview

Bullets have been a pet peeve of mine from day one, when I determined to make a complete range of 15MM Figures. I have my new Digital Sculptor working on them this week...soon I will be happy I think...lol.

To give you an idea of how fine these little bullets are, each of the squares on the gray background are 1 Milometer.

MURGHASTE WAR CREW WIP

It's all about The MURG this month!

I am going to have 10 Murghaste in this War Crew, so I need to miracle up two more. I may use another Byron and just blatantly steal another one of Rodie's Models to get this first set done.

Thanks for the help on these Mr. Campbell...you are one of the few.

60,311 Veiws...Thanks Brothers!

WAR ART has passed 60,000 Page Views. This is kind of cool considering that I have not been posting much of anything of real interest.

I have been working on art and stories a lot, in the last few months. I had some concepts to get down on paper, but now I am back to Sculpting.

I might be able to get the next 30 models done by October.

Thanks to all of you who matter, for checking in from time to time, and posting encouraging comments.

Glertchech Boss One & A Restructured Murg War Crew

I am doing my final planning for Master Mold Two and looking ahead to Master Mold Three.

I thought that I was done with The Murghaste War Crew, but as I worked on the final details it became apparent that the short thick guy was looking less like his fellow M.U.R.G. Brothers, and more like a large Glertch.

 

  
After giving this Happy Accident serious consideration I have decided to indeed change things around. This brings my Heavy Cannon Model that would have been the first Murghaste Death Trooper back to my sculpting desk, as the third and final member of War Crew One.

Now that I have the models set as a trio (oddly enough for the first time) I think that this is a much better grouping. I do not know what I was thinking, but at the time it seemed important to have the tough little bustard in the mix, to give the Murghaste Raiders some diversity...in this case it did not work.

With that decision made, now what should I do with the odd Murg out?

He gets some details changed and he becomes the first Glertch Boss model I think...

Okay then...lol...problem solved and it's back to sculpting!

Business & Bullets

I had a Business & Bullets chat with IWM Mike tonight. The business side is that he is going to be out of town on the first week of October. This is likely going to effect my 13th opening for BME.
I am going to see what I can do about this.

As for The Bullets. Mike helped me figure out the best way to sculpt the bullets and some other items for my Heavy Weapons Sets. If I am careful I can do some very nice bits, that will cast up properly.

You know it is a lot of work to make good bullets in this scale...Crazy Work!
I Love IT!

TRIBALS: BULLIOD WIP Preview 2

Bulliods are the common Trekking Beast of The Nomads, They are also used by other Travelers Of The Waste. Bulliod Herds roam over the vast plains of The Forgotten Places.

A Word On Design. This is the Body Blank Version of this model. I am going to convert it into at least three posses to make a nice unit of Mounted Nomads.

I am going to try to get this model in Master Mold two...by next week.

NON-COMBATANTS: BARREL MAN WIP Preview 1

This is the second figure for my Non Combatants and the start of my New QWIK Arena Figures.

I like this guy, he is going to look good seating on his barrel watching DEAD QWIK Matches and guarding the inventory at Market Tables.

Joseph

TRIBALS: COUNTRY FOLK WIP Preview 1

I started working on The Country Folk just for a change from my more involved figures.

She will be the first model for my Non Combatant (Citizens-Slaves-Captives) Range, many of these of course will also become Zombies...later.

She is going to be a fun little sculpt I think.

Joseph

TOXIC CUALDRON WIP Preview 1

This model is an older project, that I am starting to work on again for my October Undead releases.

A Word On Design. I am going to complete this model with a group of Cauldron Bearers and Toxic Dead.

MANIC WIDOW WIP Preview 2

I recently got back in the mood to work on this crazy bitch. She is starting to look something like what I imagined her to be...now.

I am working on her Familiar too, and should have the complete set done this month, with some of my other older models.

SONIC CLERICS WIP Preview 2

Moving right along on these...and I am enjoying the work.

IRON MONKS WIP Preview 1

Iron Monks are another Warrior Caste of The Temple Of The Metacaste. They train to use their inner Force and Body harmoniously. I will post a detailed Overview of them when I have completed the first models.

This WIP is of a Meta Sapian. I will post more on this later...

A Word On Design.  I am sculpting this particular Iron Monk with separate arms and weapons, and he will also be done piloting a Heavy War Bike.

SONIC CLERICS WIP Preview 1

I have been wanting to do something like the Weirding Way as depicted in DUNE 1984, or Noise Marines in 15MM for some time. Just as my Murghaste Warriors fill the need to do a crazy Mutant Nasties Faction, The Sonic Clerics take care of the need for Tech-Sonic Martial Warriors.

I have the first three Armatures ready for sculpting now, thanks to The Shelly Masters. I am going to do a base Sonic Weapon, and cast it with some of my other Guns & weapons, these first three will have Heavy Weapons, and so there is no need to do more than this trio. Later I will do at least three more Clerics with the Guitar-like Weapon, in some of the crazy jumping and spinning poses that I saw just last week in Celldweller's Switch Back Video...I love it.

Okay, back to sculpting...

SECOND SERIES SCULPTURES

I think this collection of work will make the bulk of The TOMORROW BLACK Series 2 Sculptures. I may be able to add more to the Second Master Mold, but I am going to get these done first.

MINI MECHS WIP 1

These little machines are going to be fun when I get them completed I should think, and downright useful in games.



A Word On Design. I am going to make these very tiny models as detailed as possible. They are the little Bot side kicks for some of my Characters, and cool Terrain Elements which will impact game play.

CHARACTERS: JAKA THE MAN KILLER WIP Preview 1

Jaka is a well known Rouge Scout who will guide any who are able to pay him well. In his youth he was a Gladiator, but in time won his freedom, at the cost of hundreds of other Gladiators lives. He is a truly wicked Hyena Manimal, that enjoys torturing his opponents in Martial Combat. Jaka often associates with Kainards, and occasionalley Whurgs, on nightly ventures for mutual gain.

A Word On Design. Jaka is The First Model for what may become a Hyena Manimal Raiders Set.

Note: From RtoL are Rodrick's Werewolf sculpture sold by Mike at Rebel Minis, and Jaka, and finally my little Kainard Body Blank WIP.

Jaka is another member of my Mutant Juggers Team for QWIK .
