I just received these photos of some Gargant sculpts that are no longer in my possession.<br />
They are about 22 years old and are part of what led to me getting my first professional sculpting work from Ral Partha.<br />
I used Super Sculpey, toothpicks, plastic card, some tubing, and other bits to make them.<br />
The Gargants and banners are still as I painted them.<br />
I even made the bases.<br />
The dustiness is a bit unfortunate and beyond my control.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467887026925260898.post-68559552567103887212016-08-23T19:37:00.001-07:002016-08-23T19:37:32.669-07:00<br />

This is perhaps the most quickly sculpted figure that I have ever made. It's also one of the earliest as it is from around 1997. I think it took about an hour and a half (and it shows).<br />

Although I need to get more lights to get better pictures (depth of
field, even lighting, shadow elimination, etc.), the color looks pretty
accurate from where I sit.<br />
<br />
The modeling tip is in how I based the riders.<br />
As well as carving the tabs that connected their feet into mounting pegs (Sorry, there are no pictures of the process.), I made a press mold of the flooring of the top tier of the howdah. <br />
When the press mold was cured, I took some of GW's non-slotted 25mm bases and, one by one, laid a thin sheet of greenstuff epoxy putty over their surfaces and pressed the wicker texture into the putty. Excess putty was trimmed away with a hobby knife.<br />
The press mold had an area about four times that of a regular base so I was able to get a lot of variance in the resulting floor patterns.<br />
While the putty on the bases was still uncured, I took the figures and pressed their mounting pegs into the soft putty to mark where the bases would need to be drilled out. <br />
The final steps were painting and mounting the figures.<br />

After being prodded by a friend to
make it so that the doors of some of his vehicles would have working
hinges where they hadn't before, I gave it a try.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
One success led to being asked to do it
again on another vehicle.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Very quickly I realized that my time
was far too valuable to waste on making them from scratch for each
vehicle, so I made these hinge pins as a short-cut. (They are
available <a href="http://tinminis.com/catalog/?cata=7000"><span style="color: maroon;">here</span></a>.)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The photos below will show a step by
step guide to how I used them on one of Games Workshop's Space Marine
Rhinos.</div>

from a steel wire with a pyramid shaped tip ground onto it.)</div>

The pin with the larger head was right
for this job and the first thing I did was drill it through with a
.035 bit. I left it on the sprue for easier handling.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I drilled in about halfway from one
side then finished drilling from the other side. This kept burrs from
forming when the drill exited the hole.</div>

light cuts at different angles to cut out small wedges of material to
avoid breaking the hinge.</div>

In this case, I had to cut into the
edge of the door at an angle so that enough material would be removed to accommodate the
cylinder of the pin. The cylinder of the pin needed to be flush with
the cylinder of the hinge on the door or it would not work properly.</div>

Once enough material was removed from
the door, I placed the door in its proper position on the model and
used my center-punch tool to mark where I had to drill.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
This will need to be done before you
permanently insert the pins into the door hinge.

A thumbtack or something similar would
have worked just as well as a center-punch.</div>

I then drilled out the hinge on the
door with a .022 bit. I went all the way through the outer part but
did not drill all the way through the inner part. The slightly over-sized holes will allow the hinges to move without stressing the plastic too much. </div>

After clipping the wire to size, I
applied a small droplet of CA glue to the outside of the hinge where
the brass connector pin was inserted. I wiggled the hinge pin to
ensure that it did not get glued in place.</div>

Then the burr of the brass rod was

The body was drilled in the spots
marked by the center-punch with a .035 drill and the narrow ends of
the hinge pins were inserted in the resultant holes and glued from
below. This would have been easier if the model had not been
pre-assembled (I received it that way). </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Before inserting them, the hinge pins needed to be
trimmed by about one millimeter or they would protrude into the
interior of the vehicle.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
It's a good idea to make sure both
doors fit well before gluing them in place.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The same techniques were used to attach the side doors to the vehicle but it required the use of the smaller hinge pins.</div>

It's been a very long time since my
last post. Sorry about that. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
There were a great number of things
taking up my time, and whenever it crossed my mind to post something
here, there were always other matters taking precedence.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I'm free to get back to sculpting freelance and, as I am able, I will post WIP photos of those professional pieces as well as personal works. </div>
