If you want to see me struggling with a ruler and a spotlight...

Amazing mate! You might not be able to spin webs, your weakness might not be a rear green rock, you may not have a experimental metal en-crusted Skelton, or a t-shirt with a incriminating skull on it.... I wager that you ain't even got lazer beam eyes or be blind all together... I bet if I wind you up you won't turn green and beat the hell out of me... However... In my eyes... Your still a hero!

Exaggeration. 

The head of the one with the squared blade is "strange", I may change it.

The odd strange one is good in a unit! How many are you doing? I would love a unit of  20 of these guys!

I'm currently at 6 finished.

I have a 10mm fant army now using med evil knights on foot etc. if Leon produced you guys they would make very nice chosen/heros . Oh! You should do some on horses... If I were you I'd get them moulded and then chop of at waist and convert a current horse with armoured legs.

Here we go, my work on a Nurglr chaos lord on chariot

First up, my chariots are going to be dragged by giant rats, but my lord something a little more... Icky

Now Im using the Tentical Bahenoth to drag the chariot, but having two identical tentacles would look odd so I removed the tale of one and will re sculpted my self.

Now I've sculpted the tale back on and will place the chariot before doing my finishing touches

Next the lord. I will start with the above and hopefully my skills with green stuff can do something half decent... So first go at 10mm putty...

I've made the helmet, added armour to the upper arms and legs and a large fur cloak to the original.

Here's the chariot in place, Tenticals added and lord mounted

While I'm imageShacking, hers the start of my knights, they (and my warriors in foot) just need the coffin lid style shields adding. Note: the horn made by cutting and bending a lance.

all very nice figures - barbarian (techno ?)'s  and vulpine's

Barbarian - from your photos it looks like no soldering is required to model 10mm figures' wire frames and you just twisted wires together? Is that right or was soldering necessary and just not shown?

Vulpine....
That's going really nicely !

Dunnadd...
I'm not certain....But I doubt if many (any ?) designers do any actual soldering at this particular scale
But I'll be interested to hear Barbarian's answer.
I'm guessing that the majority of designers nowadays, would only use one solder spot (at most), and this to join 'hips/backboe to legs' on scales of 15mm upwards....Though I know a quite number of designers that don't even do that. (i.e no soldering at all).....Even on much bigger scales.
There are a few different methods of starting/making the original frame, before it becomes a 'mannequin', and I think we all have our particular favourite method.
It's what works easiest for the individual, I suppose.

I've only seen Barbarian's method of twisted wire used on much larger scale figures.
I'm guessing that he finds this the most comfortable way for himself.

Again, I'd be very interested to hear his comments.

It's always very fascinating to see/hear new techniques !

Cheers - Phil.

I don't use any glue or soldering.
(Except to fix the structure to the base of sculpting, where I use glue as shown on pictures.)

I usually do this method for 28 mm with FIMO/Super Sclupey III as these won't glue to the wire by themselves. More precisely, they will, but ultimately, they will rotate when I'll push the paste on the limbs : You have to put a fine layer of Green stuff, then apply a fine layer of Fimo/Super Sculpey while the Green stuff is "wet".

On the other hands, I know someone who does everything with green stuff without any wire or frame (Gaëlle Goumont), and he is really talented. I can't understand how he does it. (He maid this

I know another who have casts of heads, feet and hands, who used them with wire, then use exclusively Milliput resculpted when dried. (he works in 54 mm and taller) (Adriano Laruccia - Portfolio http://www.lugdunum-figurines.com/site/spip.php?article105)

Another one sculpt with Lead (yes Lead !) and soldering iron in 54 mm. (Bruno Leibovitz from Metal models...)

My armatures are copied on the method of former Rackham's sculptors...Cyril Abati, Michaël Bigaud...)

Those wings! In 10mm wow!

I say we should ban Barbarian from the forum. He's making us all look stupid... Smart ass

No, I'm hoping he's showing us Pendraken's new Chaos range, I want it and I want it NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
