WIP my sculpts

Update on the girls I have been sculpting.

I finish painting them, a little more work on the bases and a shot of dull coat and done

Comments appreciated

Next up in sculpting.
 I have been working on is from the "Fifth Element" and "Farscape"
A Stewardess and a Police officer and from "Farscape Rygel the 16th"
So far they are coming along OK for someone self taught.

Some new sculptings

Attempting to do some sculpting using some generic Bronze age girls for the base.  I then surfed the web for some ideas, I knew the first one I wanted to try to do was Ali Larters  character Clair Redfield from resident evil. I just really liked the look.

I also found a bunch of drawings that I liked, one steampunky the other a survivor type

For the steampunk girl I added a radio device to her hand and I am reworking the things in the front of the survivor, I am not happy with how they came out(I think the are suppose to be knives but not really sure)  I'm also think of placing a weapon in her hand.  Comment and suggestions always appreciate.
Sorry for the picture quality

behind the lines

Equipment check,  Towel, check, shower cap,  check, Soap on a rope, check ,back brush,check...even a Quar needs to keep clean.

 I wanted to do a few terrain pieces for a rear camp I figured on doing a shower, latrine, cook tent, and hospital tent, any comments or other ideas would be appreciated.

The Showers
 Fun first little vignette for my Quar camp, I used some corrugated plastic card and pipe,coffee stirrers, some paper towels soaked in white glue and some small chain.  Its a gravity feed shower using a rain barrel and pull chains,offering some bit ofcomfort to those Quar who in the rear  rinse, lather,repeat

My soon to be clean Ryfler, started out as Ehn'k'du a Quar barbarian(picture from Zombiesmiths web site)

I basically just covered him up with putty, for the Cap/towel, filed the sword down and added a brush head,removed the scabbard and bracelet, added some toes, and a  bar of soap to the neck chain. 

Time to get clean :)

new stuff and wip

Well it’s been a while since I have posted anything, so I figured I better do something.  I have been working on a bunch of 15mm stuff but nothing done yet. And I am still working on my Quarworld

First up is my Caravan Master.  I started and finished him a while ago but never posted the final picture so here he is.  The Master himself (kind of inspired by the late artist Mobeus), along with the saddle and most of the baggage were made with bits of extra Quar, putty and metal rings. 

 He leads the caravan through the deserts of Kryst, smoking his hookah and riding atop a large beasty that started out as a Bantha from the Star Wars universe. I cut off the tusken raider atop and the horns, then removed the mouth. I added the saddle rig re sculpted the fur on the face and added the eyes and tusks to give it more of an elephant look.   

Next, yet more caravan beasty’s on the horizon.  A pretty simple conversion so far, starting out with an inexpensive toy Rhinoceros with his horns and ears clipped off and a boney face plate and rounded horns, saddle and blanket roll added with putty. any suggestion on a color scheme?

The Faerf and Sothwyr armored vehicle are resin castings from Zomiesmiths’ Quar line.  The upper body of both casting were well detailed but the underside of both has major air bubbles that left large holes.  The Faerf  I filled in with putty and re scultped the saddle straps that were now gone.  The Sothwyr I think I will leave as is and paint it up as if it ran over a landmine(making lemonade out of lemons) I am going to try to do a desert pink (SAS, LRDP) style paint job on this and see how it comes out. 

 

Almost finished with my armored car I built for the Quar adding a bit of baggage to the rear (some baggage,bread fuel and a barrel of water (?) or maybe something else.

Hunger games

Saw the Hunger games. Liked it a lot but still hard to transfer the book to film.
I Did not like some of the changes they made and the shaky camera techniques make most of the movie a blur, however if you read the books(which you should because they are amazing) you can follow the movie better if than you have not.
Jennifer Lawrence does a great job as Katniss Everdean one of the coolest kick ass, vulnerable character, but the movie is so fast paced that the biggest part of the story, the Relationships between Katniss and the others is really not as fleshed out as it needed to be.
The movie, although a violent plot line is really not that gory and in my opinion the lack of it makes the impact of the story seem less.
All that being said I still loved the movie and am a certified Hunger games Fanatic.

Trash bash entry

2012 Trash bash contest entry

Back to my Quar

After sometime away I am back to my Quar.
I just finish my entry into the the Trash bash contest at http://roebeast.blogspot.com/ and now that,that is finished I have started back on my Quar, this time Trench raiders.
The 1st one finished had a new weapon added a wicked little truncheon and other than that was the standard figure. I placed them all on some nice trench bases and added some barbed wire. The Quar are just fun figures to paintbut I still have 100 more to go.
Long live the royalist cause!
