I procrastinate from my real work by designing retro miniatures, you can find them all here https://cults3d.com/en/users/Doctor-Spork/creations
I attempted to mash together the deodorant stick Grav-Attack Tank and the Rogue Trader era Predator
If anyone wants to try printing one for themselves I've uploaded it to Cults3D https://cults3d.com/en/users/Doctor-Spork/3d-models
Yeah, sorry. I think I messed it up trying to add the thumbnail picture. That should be it fixed now.
Cheers, there are another five and patriarch to add to this lot
Cheers.
These were the first four that I did for a game of Necromunda at BOYL, So the rest should end up looking like them.
Time to get back to work on the cult
Painting my space wizard was a fun little distraction, but genestealers don't paint themselves.
I've got my infantry base coated so it's time to give them a good wash.
And I've got a little squat that Chris at Ontos Games gave me at BOYL for when I'm sick of batch painting cultists.
Squiggly beasts were fantastic, but I have to disagree about the Zoanthrope I've always loved it. I am a bit odd though.
Finally got my hands on the 2nd ed Tyranid codex
Having thought I would be chasing this forever due to the fact I didn't want to pay £50-100 for one I managed to grab this for a tenner.
Even better, when it arrived it appears to be in near mint condition. Oh happy days!
Josh has a really clean simple style for doing NMM that doesn't look to out of place on older miniatures (you can see it in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1OAylxlbyc ) so hopefully I'll be able do something like that in future.
In the painting guide I posted in reply to another comment Mike McVey describes his method for painting gold start with a white base coat then paint a mix of gold and yellow ink over it. That is such a mad concept to me that you would paint gold over white.
Cheers, I'm not so sure about the metallics myself. I've been getting lessons from Josh at the Crown of Command podcast and he has really pushed my colours and highlighting to the next level, but the next lesson is non metal metallics which I am hoping will really improve that part of my painting as currently I think it is lacking.
I recently got this book, it may have had a slight effect on my choice of colours
Just finished up another classic bit of 90's scenery
I love how 3D printing has let me bring some classic bit of scenery back to life.
I printed this off on an Ender 3 with no supports. If anyone has a 3D printer and wants on for themselves it's available over on Cults 3D https://cults3d.com/en/users/Doctor-Spork/3d-models
Finally got my hands on an orginal Ork Battlewagon
I always wanted one of these, but the prices these days are beyond ridiculous. So when I got the chance to buy this (nearly complete) one for 50 euros I did not hesitate. Can't wait to do some fabrication and bring this pile of scrap back to it's former glory.
I used a set of these

That looks cool. It's amazing how little it takes to change the whole mood of a model.
Cheers, I've always loved adding little embellishments to models. One day I might try to sculpt a miniature from scratch.
Who wants a game of Warhammer 40000 Quest?
I did a little bit of sculpting on a 3D print of the old Warhammer Quest wizard, I'm planning on using him as a 40k imperial psyker
My First White Dwarf With Josh at the Crown of Command Podcast
Josh was kind enough to invite me on to discuss my first white dwarf, issue 169 with the cardboard battle bunker. So if you have 20 minutes to waste why not give it a watch.

I should be up for that, I've really been getting into the swing of things with my painting recently.
I finally finished off printing my Land Raider Proxies
Been working away on these pair for a while. After seeing how much it was going to cost to buy an original I decided to make my own. One is inspired by the classic kit, the other by the original scratch built model from the Rogue Trader rule book. Both were printed on my Ender 3 with no supports.
They are available on my Cults3D page if anyone is interested.

It's one of the reasons I take so ling to paint anything, there is something like six thin coats of white paint on them all.
Cheers. The Bezerkers are going to be part of an Emperors Children warband so I wanted them to have more colour than just red.
Thanks. I modelled it in blender and was trying to mash up the old epicast model and the original rhino kit
A Little Spooky WIP For You, Happy Halloween
I made this fella when I go some pipe rollers from green stuff world.
Finished up my Chaos Lord
This fella was an ebay rescue that came with so much paint on it that I wasn't sure if he was actually this model. So I stripped him and did my best to give him a new lease of life as the first of my Emperors Children.
And now he is my entry for the fedipaint painting contest over on Mastodon.
