Now theres something a bit unusual.... very cool.
Top-notch =D> 8) :-bd
REALLY like that !
Glad you didn't go OTT with the mouth....What you've done works particularly well !
The 'movement' in the tentacles is terrific....Side view especially.
The Aussies may have 'Drop bears'....Dungeoneers (?) have these nasties to contend with...Great job.
Cheers - Phil.
QuoteI see it as a wandering monster and can give you my idea for stats and special abilities for Dungeon World if you want.
I`d be very interested in seeing the DW stats for this creation capthugeca; its similar in a few ways to my Floating Roof Monster (DW 2nd Ed - Advanced Suplement) and could possibly work well as a stand in piece. At the moment I use the Pendraken Sci-Fi Face Huggers to represent these critters.
Hello guys,
Spoiler: English is not my first language, so please don't mind the awful spelling etc. .)

I wanted to ask you guys, what kind of putty you use to sculpt your entries?
I have never sculpted anything before, but I had some attempts with greenstuff, which disappointed me because it only felt like dried chewing gum in the end,
although I wanted my mini to have a stone-like feeling to it. Then I switched to miliput, which was much better and allowed me to be more precise and include
much more details (although I read in most forums, that people are much more convinced about greenstuff for including details etc.).
Okay... So the question I had: What materials do you use and what could you recommend to me?
I hope my poor english did not make your eyes bleed ~__~
Thanks in advance for the support!
Cheers from Berlin,
MH5TS3
Hi MH5TS3.
If I understand your requirements correctly for a much 'harder' putty...You could try Brown Stuff !
Not too dissimilar to work with to Green Stuff..But the finish is much harder and almost 'brittle'.
A lot of people like this putty a lot....But compared to Green Stuff it is very expensive.
Which is why I use very little of it.
Alternatively you could try mixing Magic Sculp in a 50/50 ratio with green stuff....This gives a slightly harder 'finish' once the putty has set.
Hope this helps.
Cheers - Phil.

I use Pro-Create. Not quite as hard as Milliput but much better than Green Stuff. Have never used Brown Stuff
Spiffy entries so far. :)
I'm driven to try out different types of putty, just to see what they're like. It's an obsession. I've tried over a dozen so far, and have my eye on more. But when it comes to recommending putty...

... I have to say, if it works for you, use it. ;)
I also second Techno's suggestion of mixing green stuff with something else. It's 'memory' can cause it to be springy and blobby, and like you say: like chewing gum. But mix it with a putty with low memory (any other putty, AFAIK!) and it becomes a great sculpting medium. I know sculptors who usually mix it with brown stuff (e.g. Kev White) or procreate (e.g. Andy Foster).
I liked using a mix with apoxie sculpt - similar to magic sculp. I still do, but these days I mostly use a GS/milliput mix (yellow-grey grade), since I 'rediscovered' milliput. I first used it when I got into this sculpting game, and hated it for being messy and crumbly. Started using it again recently, and learned a couple of tricks to help control it. One of those was to mix some GS with it. ;)
My basilisk (http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=2864.0) entry is bulked out with a GS/milliput mix. More milliput than GS means it's pretty hard and sturdy. The final layer and details are likely be mostly greenstuff, with a little bit of something mixed in to 'loosen' it. Maybe milliput again, or procreate. The other 'sneak peek' is milliput terracotta with GS.

That's pretty damn good Annatar - better than a lot of 25 to 32 mm scale scorpion miniatures
EDIT: Moved to discussion thread.
I like your hairy something too, Annatar. :-bd
Like it, very cool fgure. It has a bit of yeti, a bit of Wompa, not what you would expect to meet, but very scary! NICE SCULPT!
Love the Honey Monster, would buy that :)
Same here !
The scorpion and the yeti are brilliant !
Cheers - Phil.
Thanks :-[
Some very nice entries coming in here! Great stuff. 8)

Second that! :-bd
Not that it is a squig, of course. In fact, nothing like a squig. Don't know where anyone could even imagine that it is a squig.
[Just covering your back from any legal action, Leon. :D]
Nah, you're right. Clearly not a Squig, those are made in much biggerer scale by Someone Else...y'know, them wot invented "The Hobby" TM
That sculpt of Karl's looks pretty much like a Squog to me :) And a very nice Squog at that. 8)

Silly me, you're right! Definitely more of a Squog.... (To be honest, I'd never heard of a Squig, and thought it was his name for the sculpt!)
Although it does have other meanings apparently: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=squig (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=squig) :o
Second thought, Privateer, it's an awful scuplt! Next time do one to the second definition on urban dictionary and forget the 10mm scale. Life size would be better. ;)
Sorry thats my fault for calling it that, my partner thinks it looks like me when I have just discovered that their is pudding (the smile I think) This is a smaller and better one of a sculpt that Karl did about 15 years ago, that one had not legs and no tail and the teeth were different - not the same at all really
So again sorry for the mis spelling of the name of the creature.
David
Here is the squog hunting a pudding, it's favourite food. A pudding in itself is not dangerous, but often what's hiding in it is.
No squogs or puddings were harmed in the photoshopping of this image

I think Squog is a better name anyway - thanks Leon

The Elder Thing is excellent!
Now to get the 1930's ganster range up and running and we have a full-blown Call of Cthulhu option on the go!
Thanks Luddite.
At first I thought the larger head was too big. Since I made the larger one first, I went on to make the smaller one next to see what that would look like. Seeing them both together, though, I like the larger head as it makes the Elder Thing look more alien.
In case I didn't note it in the entry, the head and the wings are tacked on with a temporary putty. Here in the colonies its called blu-tac. Not sure what you call on your side of the pond.
I wonder if there are enough submissions for a 10mm horror or Cthulhu line.
More pictures later this weekend.

Yep - blu-tac here too :)
I think there's plenty of figures which are useable for Cthulhu from the Pendraken ranges - and more Eldritch gribblies are always welcome - yours looks great 8)

Thanks for the links! It was a blast to see the giant worms painted up. I sculpted them, and so it feels good knowing others like the worms as much as I do!
I'll have to come back and read more about Strange Aeons. It looks interesting.
Great work Annatar :) ! Kraken Man looks squidlicious.
Thanks Nico :)
@ BlackEd
Nice Sculpt !!!! The chariot-monster reminds me of the Grey Mouser and Ffahrd novel "stardock" by Fritz Leiber.
In this story the two heroes encounter giant, invisible, airfloating manta rays, which are used as mounts.
Nico, that manticore entry is very nice, and it's only 15mm square? Excellent work.
Thx. It's 15x14 mm when you put it on square paper. I've got really skinny fingers :)
p.S.: Sorry about the picture size
VERY nice Nico... the manticore really caught my eye.
I`m especially impressed by the dungeon logic and background behind the piece. This is something I`ve been looking to see more of; and is a really nice inclusion.
Good work.

No worries, some pics appear huge for no reason, it's no problem to bring them down a bit. 8)
very nice work!!! :-bd
Yes, brilliant, Nico!
The judges have got a real job on their hands. I'm hoping quite a few of the entries will eventually find their way into the Pendraken line.
Not long now, all entries must be in by midnight tonight! 8)
Very cool descriptions... very cool skulpt.
thx all :)
I'm working on a few more but don't think any of these will be anywhere near finished by midnight.
hehe nice work Annatar :)
Unfortunately procrastination and distraction scupper my schemes once again. (Blast you, procrastination and distraction! Next time I shall be victorious!) Congrats to all entrants who aren't so easily led astray by shiny things. :)
Nico, hat down and thumbs up for your entry! niceee sculpts :D
Some great work, well done everyone!
I'll second that Lemmy....I pity the judges !
Cheers - Phil.
Well done to al the entrants, some really excellent work.
I'd be quite happy to see all of them released!
Likewise - some cracking stuff 8)
Impressive work by everyone =D>
It'll be a tough job for the judges!
Cheers,
Kev
Thx again and yeah, some good stuff there :) - I take some pleasure in your descriptions Annantar, Ivan I like Fang's rider, he looks proud and determined. And Vermis: Shame on you ! Your Basilisk was outstanding.
Pity I won't be able to access a computer until monday ... :( :-X
Anyway, good luck to everyone ! I'm curious :)

I didn't think they were his own work, so deleted the entry... Plus, they'd never fit in a Dungeon anyway. :D
Brought back memories of Chorlton and the wheelies
