Boring AF

That's it. Been working on pro making molds of my miniatures, finally. Boring, time consuming and I bet it's not worth it (why might I want copies?) yet I kinda wanted to do all myself old-school using wax, wood and whatnot as I were taught instead of YouTube hacks "you've doing it wrong" kind of stuff.

So far I have a necromutant body, a complete necromutant figure and a weapon. Hope to be finishing more necros and starting an ezoghoul model which will be a pain in the ass mould making wise.

Sorry, not much eye candy but I swear It's more involved than painting stuff. Just less interesting to look at. Had to smooth things up, do some filling etc.

BTW the gun was almost destroyed in my 1st attempt so now its surface looks weird. I textured it to look more necrotech-ish but got uncured silicone on it and the weirdness is now accentuated. Algeroth may still approve.

Dunno what color cast them, maybe transparent  or colored clear, or mixed colored clear like gummy bears... maybe pastel. Dunno.

I bet there's someone thinking "just trans like you" xD

No se para que me pongo a hacer copias, la verdad. Es un currando, aburrido y chupa una de tiempo que ni te cuento. Pero quería hacerlo al estilo traditional. Con madera, cera, olla de vacío... nada de rolls de YouTube de haz el molde con legosy tal y cual.

No se que haré con las copias, pero quería hacerlas "como antes" . Tengo ya 3 moldes: un cuerpo, un arma y una figura completa.

A ver como acaba el experimento, no se si me cansaré antes o me quedaré sin dinero para tirar por el váter.  Siento que no mole 1000 pero da más curro esto que pintar, solo que no es tan guay de ver.

Que molaría más? Miniaturas transparentes, trans pero de algún color? O colores varios tipo gomitas? O tonos pastel?

Seguro que alguien va a pensar "trans como tú" xD

Useless Hobby Guy

I can't f*king believe it. It's not that I'm lazy, I'm retarded that's it. As much IQ as primary colors are.

Had these pics done like in February 2021. Just saw the mini sitting there and wanted to check the post and OUCH!

The original body is years old now, I sculpted over with grey putty.

It is a putrid dmön playing with a human face, which tried to sculpt "rubbery" hope it shows.

He's kinda "look at me I'm human, I love you Blergh!" and Blergh saying "For Satan's sake throw that already, they kiss each other with that!"

I'm really sorry for anyone who actually may care about what I do. Sure there are more undocumented shit around. 

No doy crédito,  pero como puedo ser tan mendrugo? He mirado la info y las fotos están hechas en febrero 2021! Menudo anormal. En fin.

El cuerpo es de hace unos años ya, lo continué con masilla gris.

Es básicamente un demoño de mugre que está haciendo el idiota con una cara humana "Floid, te parece que tengo mala cara?".

Intenté que pareciera "gomosa" tanto modelando como pintando.

Me sabe francamente mal, he ido a mear in the nay y al pasar por el mueble la he visto y me ha dado por mirar el blog. Se me ha caído la cara de vergüenza, así que me he puesto a escribir in demidel ofdenay como buen anormal que soy.

Ala, que os den morcilla. Tengo sueño!

Necrotyrant | Finish Him !! (FFS)

Ok. Almost done according with your recipe. May smooth things up, coat the chain (I prefer sculpted chain, looks more 'part of the fig').

I'm considering adding a belt (chain?) buckle or something and that's it. Weapons sold separately. 

Got the vacuum chamber already so after few touch ups it will be science time. Silicone, resins and weird machinery.

Ya casi, según lo dicho. Toca suavizar cuatro cosas, darle grosor a la cadena (prefiero modelarla yo, la verdad) y tal vez añadirle una hebilla o algo delante.

Tengo la cámara de vacío y los potingues así que en breve toca intoxicarse.

Necrotyrant | Painting considerations while sculpting

So the guy is almost done now. In the 90s I came to read a Tim Prow interview where he said he left blank plates and surfaces not by laziness but to allow painters add their own stuff.

That's somehow happening to me. That guy will most likely be pale green skinned, rotten flesh or so with leather pants/boots AND blueish metal (Paul Bonner / Horley style) for the gun, boot tip etc.

Then I picture myself painting lots of metal on the right side of the mini (boot, weapon) and none on the bone blade side. I think this MIGHT bother my future me so:

Should I add a metallic shoulderpad on his bone blade arm just for color composition harmony?

That may kill the savage IDC look.

I am also considering adding chain belt to his pants to break up textures.

In the same fashion may add rags or bandages on his pistol handing waist.

I would love to know your thoughts on that subject.

Esto está casi ya. El caso es que tengo en mente a mi yo del futuro pintando y meh.

La carne será verde pálido y la pistola, puntera de bota... metálico azulado. Y la cuestión es que veo mucho metálico en la parte derecha de la miniatura y nada en la izquierda.

Se antoja poco armonioso.

No se si añadir una hombreras metálica al brazo del pincho para que a la hora de pintar haya una rotura de color ahí.

Me preocupa perder el look salvaje y de me la pela todo que tiene el necromuyayo. 

En la misma linea de pensamiento, podría añadir un cinturón de cadena o vendajes en el brazo donde irá la pistola, para añadir "chicha" que pintar y no sea todo la misma superficie.

Me interesa bastante tu opinión (si a esto, no a aquello)... no se si esta mierda me la planteo yo solo o cuando pintas se nota que el escultor piensa en esas cosas.

Necrotyrant

 

Noticed casting just 1 body and 1 weapon is nuts due to the tiny amount of resin needed for that so decided to quick try doing something else.

There's oficial rules for the necrotyrant both in ultimate warzone  and the collectible miniatures game but neither art nor proper models were released ever. 

Necrotyrants are supposed to be necromutant failures: they retain little to no memory of their former selves and feel no pain due half assed nerve connections so they show a huge disregard for their own (and mates') survivability.

I think I'll give him a blade arm, like in the movie, just trousers and 1 classic dark legion shoulderpad, plus the mandatory belzerach and that's it.

Molds have been a failure (1st try) almost destroying masters but gave a 2nd try using years old silicone leftover I had around and looks like it worked.

Vacuum pot will be on my way maybe next week. Lots of money investment for non comercial non profit stuff but castings with bubbles are a no-no.

Me he dado cuenta que mezclar resina para piezas tan pequeñas es chungo, así que decidí hacer alguna figura más para poder manejar cantidades cómodamente.

Es un Necrotyrant a medias. Jamás hubo mini oficial; se supone que son necromutantes fallidos que no retienen memoria, tienen poca inteligencia y no conservan sensibilidad. Esta mezcla hace que sientan poco aprecio por su propia seguridad y la de sus compas (si no duele...)

Creo que lo haré estilo película,  con un brazo cuchilla.

Moldes hasta ahora mal, pero en un segundo intento con restos de otra silicona diferente (con años a sus espaldas, no debería haber funcionado) parece que bien.

Compraré una cámara de vacío,  pésima decisión puesto que no voy a sacar pasta de esto, así que no amortizar nada (podría ir modelando y pintando y no hacer copias de las figuras) pero bueno. La burra grande ande o no ande.

Belzerach | Necromutant

Since 90s I collected everything Mutant Chronicles but minis (maybe a couple for warhammer proxies) and never had a chance to play warzone but always had in mind to make my own minis and give it a try.

Recently I bought the deceased game Mutant  Chronicles the collectible minis game for 5 creds.

It came with 6 miniatures but I couldn't care less. The selling point for me was a simple grid game system with custom dice and maybe the best army building I've ever seen: You set a point budget (3 in skirmish games) so you can buy that many things on each category bronze, silver gold. Oh. And I came with all minis stats cards so I could make my own.

I started with most iconic stuff on that universe, that are necromutants (followed by razides and nephrarites I guess) and their trademark Belzerach gun. It's WIP RN I may cast weapon and body as they are and sculptur different arms and heads for each rank.

Lots of work (sculpting each from scratch would take me less time, effort and provide more fun) for something that won't go elsewhere but from manhole to living room but I'm doing because potatoes.

I bet Demimorgana will like this one.

Catch you later.

Siempre fui muy fan del universo Mutant Chronicles,  llegando a tener el juego de rol, warzone y sus suplementos, revistas... en los 90s me ponía palote pero solo jugaba a warhammer. 

Hace poco vi de saldo el juego de minis coleccionable por 5 rukkles y dije "a cagar, incluye los perfiles, me haré las minis".

El sistema de juego es ligerito. Esto que ves es el irónico rifle belzerach y el torso de un necromutante.

A ver cuanto tardo en perder interés...

The Green Stuff

 I'm basically posting to let everyone who might care know we are still alive. Some jobs changed,  some jobs went away some good stuff happened  but for the most part it was all regular s**t.

ATM I feel short on willpower to hobby anymore not to say the social media part of it, being the writing, the pic shooting, cropping etc.

Let'smake it clear, this green stuff we decided to take care of is a time sucking machine, keen on biting and screaming. Lost all my energy getting old, I hope he turns all gray or something quieter.

I'll call it a day when it learns not to stand on my ankle and bite my brushes.

Thanks.
