The Mace of Hades shrunk down to MIMP size, Will cast in polyurethane rubber and keep him monochromatic like the original line.

I used some Sculpey firm and a lot of Green Stuff to sculpt this little fellow.
I'll attach turn around pictures soon.





I will also be doing some other sculpts the same scale soon.

What do you think guys?

Is the green stuff you're using like Apoxy?

Is the green stuff you're using like Apoxy?

Kind of yeah its actually called Green Stuff but it is basically just Kneadatite, a pretty commonly used sculpting material for war gaming miniatures. It works like an apoxie but has a long cure time.

Why am I just finding this?

No worries you caught on early in the game I still have a 3rd figure to sculpt.

[ironmask]

Very good. Thanks for the heads up, and good work!

Thanks! No problem man.
One more quick update, Oculus is finished.

[ironmask]

I am really excited about these.
It honestly, has motivated me back into working on my own minis! Good work, duder!

Thanks man! Good luck with your minis!

[oOMoSOo]

Nearly finished with figure #3, it took me a while to decide which one of my many designs to make first.
Finally decided on the 3rd design for FOEZ! and went with the fan named Clawgrugg
Largest part of the update: We have recently been able to really get set up and ready for large runs and much more fun production. Lots of colorants to run some opaque and lots of translucent, some glow,UV glow, etc...
The molds for the minis will be made this week and coming over the month the initial release

[PlasticPlayhouse]

really cool stuff man!

[bigazzhead]

I know I'm definitely gonna have to pick up a set when these come out. I'm very impressed.

Yeah man usually not that intetested in diy figures but looking at what you have done here may have changed my mind

[oOMoSOo]

Thanks!

Thank-you! That is always good to hear, you wont have to wait long I'll be making molds tonight.

Awesome! That is a big compliment, thank-you! I try to strive for more professional results with my sculpts and designs.

Alrighty! He's done, here are a couple shots, more on my Flickr.





Making molds tonight, and casting soon this will be a much larger run than anything I've done before so spread the word around to all your mini friends there will be plenty for everyone.
Sadly however something I have recently found about the rubber I was intending on using for these is that it uses mercury to cure and takes 7 days to fully cure. I don't have the facilities to deal with that so I will be casting in a durable urethane plastic, I will be making up for the lack of rubber with awesome effects and a nice price point!

[ironmask]

"Nice price point" sounds pretty awesome. That has been a big drawback to DIY figures for me, as it's hard to substantiate $15-$20 for one 2" (or smaller) mini.
But the sculpts are very nice!

[TOPHER]

Really kewl figs,nice work!!
I can totally see Oculus Viri on a Skate Space Board.
They also look as though they can fit in the OMFG! line.

Yeah man I feel ya there, that's one thing about most resin artists, they just don't get it. I know starting is expensive but just like every other production method once you have made more than the initial cost its all profit and that will happen faster if the prices are fair.

I was thinking, and none of this is solid yet but... My idea was about $15-$20 for the set of three.
