Once again #leto2 has found his way to my workbench. This time just making adjustments to his face. I’d really like to call him done, cook the clay and start painting, but then in also still debating trying to make a mold of him and cast a small edition. I just know his face will want to catch air bubbles, so if I do it I really need to get out the pressure pot, and all, do it right… but the eagerness to be done might win out, and he may just be this one off. #dune #miniature #moldmaking

Leto 2
Knight’s house
My mecha factory, #knightshouse It’s not done, still a lot of details left to add, clamps and servitors to build and repair the knights, more walkways and gantries… and as much as I enjoy seeing all the parts coming together I’m finding it too visually noisy, so it’s time. Time to prime. #kitbash #40k
Ships crew
I’ve been wanting to start a spaceship build, but thought I’d better have a crew first, so I put this ragtag group together with models from #colony87 #astropolis and cp models. It’s nice to have an assortment of characterful non-coms to be my pilots. I had a hard time coming up with a color scheme that remained muted, but conveyed the right tone, and fought the purple I’d added initially, but I’m happy with how they came out

I put this team together without knowing the goal, just a vague idea of a rebellious group of pilots and adventures, to work for my noble house. But as I painted, as I often do, I started brainstorming their backstory and place in the world, and realized they weren’t simply Rogue traders, like I’d first thought but something more…
We don’t hear much from the Sensei these days, but I suspect the descendants of the Emperor are still out there, keeping out of the Eyes of the inquisition…
Welding
- Spent some time #welding more scrap steel into the legs and torso of my #DonQuixote commission #sculpture . I need him to be untipoverable before I trust the weight of the cast cement head. It already feels way more solid with the extra rebar in the base. I’m starting to see the silhouette again, and am debating where to cast more cement over him, or leaving the metal frame exposed, or making armor
Head of DonQuixote
Head of #DonQuixote pulled from the mold and given a quick once over. Pretty happy with how he came out, the gears and metal look better than I’d expected. It’s pretty heavy though, and I’m feeling like I may need to reinforce the body frame even more before I even test it out. #art #sculpture
Cement in mold
#cementcasting head of #donquixote is just about ready to putt out of the mold, thinking of hitting it with a wire brush #art #sculpture
Truck progress
Traveling traders truck. I’ve been slowly adding detail here and there, to make it lived in, some twine to secure the sail as the caravan top, balsa wood framing and side shelves. I made some #terraintutors style garbage bage alone with some resin cast trash cans, barrels and a skull. #modeling #miniature #travelingtrader #kitbash
