r/miniaturesculpting

I’ve been making these little bead bots from beads, plastic scraps, bits of packaging, and whatever weird shapes I can find on the desk. Bill Making Stuff was a big inspiration, and I honestly didn’t expect the process to feel this relaxing. There’s something very soothing about giving random junk tiny robot personalities.

I sculpted this dragon in 10 parts (last picture) with Beesputty, Sculpey and a bit of epoxy clay. I then made molds for the parts and started casting it in resin.

Sculpting this dragon in separate parts was a pain in the ass. Looking back I should have sculpted it completely and then cut it into parts. I thought I would be able to get the parts to fit better if I sculpted them separately (which is kind of true), but it was really difficult to get a good view on the pose and the proportions.

The wings are made with thin brass sheet with polymer clay over them. They are nice and thin, but still thick enough to get good casts.

I originally started sculpting because I wanted to make my own resin kit, and I cannot believe I finally did. It was a long journey, but the results are far better then I had expected them to be.

I might need to go in and fill some of those undercuts otherwise casting this is going to be a nightmare! Some liquid greenstuff would work, right?

My most recent make, showcases the rare and powerful egyptian god cards from the yu-gi-oh franchise. Another artifact that I've been excited to make for some time now. I love the immense detail from the hieroglyphs in the background to the wooden frame and card prints. (Basswood, Laser Engraving, Distressing, Resin)

So I sculpted this little fella a while back and I've had a well respected and loved miniatures company express interest and said 'If we don't take it I know someone that will.'

I'm making a new one as I didn't sculpt it with selling in mind so used donor hands, feet and mouth so I'm sculpting one fully from scratch and keeping the arms separated for casting.

Thing is I've never sold anything like this before so what's the kind of price range I should be asking for?

I see a lot of Sylvaneth/Nurgle conversions. So, I wanted to explore a Tzeench version.

Here's my Tzeeneth Treelord of Change.

Sculpted Michelangelo inspired by the original Playmates figures

Wanted this to come out smoother but he survived being attacked by 2 naughty kitties. I’ve included the 2 little culprits in the photos too.

I think it’s a bit of a combination of the original Playmates figures Playmates and the sketch turtles.
