I just spent a week down the south coast on holiday. Unfortunately I had no mobile phone access- which meant no internet... which was a mixed blessing. Once I dig myself out of this weeks emails I should be responding properly!
If you ordered figures this week, they will be posted off promptly on monday!
Whilst away I actually got a little sculpting done, finishing several figures and knocking out a brand new armoured goblin guard for my dungeon range. I made him using procreate- on a 4:6 black/white ratio... which makes its stickier and firm- which I found excellent for smaller minis, such as 15mm figs.
I also experimented with shortcuts and techniques using instant mold (friendly plastic). Very cool for getting things roughed in by borrowing from my earlier sculpts, though the fine details still need to be worked over. If you think its a solution for copying figures, you will be pretty disappointed though- the pull of the putty means you get rounded features. One solution is to make an ultra thin layer of firm white procreate and once dry fill it in. This makes a sharper cast. As does adding super sculpey to the mix to break the surface tension.
Anyway, very handy for doing B sides of detailed things such as shoulder pads. I can make a rough copy, cast it and place it close by for reference whilst I sculpt the other.
All in all, very handy tool... but its not the messiah I had hoped for!
