Recent Converts

What follows are some recent conversions I made to some Foundry figures, using greenstuff, a bit of "brownstuff" (another Kneadatite epoxy putty, good for sharper edges, can be sanded and worked a bit with knives or files after curing), some wire and leftover bits from my "bits box".


First is an unspecified officer with a flagon of Dragon Ale (slogan: "The flagon with the dragon has the brew that is true").

Goldberg variations: A view of the Saxe-Goldberg Royal Engineers as seen from the front. These guys are famous for their ingenious devices and engineering works.

A view from the back. They are prepared for all sorts of eventualities and cunning plans, adept at fieldworks, bridges and other marvels of modern engineering.

("A band? What do we need a band for?" "Have a little faith, Beispiel. They're beautiful people.")

The Saxe-Goldberg Royal Engineers are lead by Captain Walbert Weinstein. A famous ancestor of Walbert was the Ritter von Weissknicht.

A view from the other side.

In the meantime... there are a few other minis waiting on the painting desk before these guys get their colors.

A few good lads

The first of the Highlanders are gathering.

The one on the far right is one of the first batch of sculpts I did. I thought they were a bit too clunky so I sculpted another batch and tried to make them a bit slimmer/finer-detailed. The 3 on the left are made from those. The painted mini is a Foundry civilian, for comparison.




Back view of the 3 "slimmer" lads, for a better look at some of the details. The brownish bits were made with a mix of greenstuff and brownstuff, which results in a cured putty that can be sand or filed without being too crumbly.


Now I need to paint these guys, and finish adding bits to more of the base minis to make a unit.

And, at the request of Tippelbruder, a non-miniature, the Lion of the West, my cat, Killian.
