New Sci-Fi soldier

 The Tox Troopers have been needing a target to shoot at for a while. I'll do a scale test print of this guy soon.

Armoured Skeletons (Mythology)

I see tons of 3d sculpts intended for miniatures but they're pretty much vapourware as far as I'm concerned...

That said, these are some test sculpts I'll be printing soon.

Paint jobs - 3D printed skeletons

I think these aren't bad, I could tweak them forever but they paint up well (very quick paint job and I'm a bit rusty).

The poses need a bit of work. I really like the one slightly swaying and dragging his sword and would like to get more of that characterisation into the range. 

In terms of scale style and size I think I'm good to go, next up will be making some dynamic looking poses and getting them printed. The armour will have slightly more elaboration on it so when I go in with the patina on the bronze the wash has lots of detail to pool around. I do regret the armoured skeleton pose being a bit bland but it was actually the first test print... just so happens it was spot on in terms of what I wanted and was able to paint it.

Getting ahead of myself, no reason I can't do medieval themed skeletons with these base files in the future.

For now I'm sticking to mythology.

More test prints - Mythology

I've finally nailed my style and scale (I think) for this range, and possibly all future ranges.

Lots of trial and error but these things print out great at 28mm all the way up to 35mm. Even 25mm - I have some at that scale for use with the GW LOTR range.

Next up is the painting test and then I'll start working towards a plan for retail sometime this summer.

(I've sculpted a lot more stuff but these are the closest to production ready, and the larger wraith was a print test, it needs a few tweaks back in zbrush)
