Another quick tutorial: easy columns. This metod Can help you to make some cheap terrain, but unfortunately nothing very detailed. In any DIY store you can find wooden caps used to repair imperfections on your wooded forniture. You drimel out the gross part and glue a wood cap. These caps can be found in several sizes. You simply need to glue these caps together. Here an example of the product. And here some example. The cilindrical piece is also found in the same bricolage stores. And with some drybrush... As stated before, nothing spectacular, you can see the wood texture. But you can make a large amount of these colums in a very small amount of time and with even less money.

Here a new project in its early stage. The aim is to make a Slaan Blood Bowl team on the cheap. But at the moment I have not enough toys to make a full team (I have only have 6 of these toad like mini gormiti), so I decided to test the idea at the moment. Here the first modified toad (a catcher), I have no idea of a theme a the moment, but this first one kinda looks like a japanese monster. Maybe I should go with a yokai theme. more images here toy-hammer.blogspot.it/2018/03/wip-frogfolk-part-2.html

Last February the Tabletop Craft Guild made a contest, use a soda bottle to craft anything you want. It was a little funny challenge and I made this observatory. Naturally, after finishing it I got a better idea, a retro-sci-fi space rocket... well, next bottle. More at my blog.

I originally planned to make these three guys as Blood Bowl players. But in the end I changed my mind and I simply used them as an excuse to experiment with a different palette from my usual one. Tell me what do you think? Do you like more these vivid colors or my usual dull palette? More images here toy-hammer.blogspot.it/2018/02/tzeentch-proxies.html

Something different today. I need a little help. I'm finally creating a set of science fiction miniatures. The theme will be "cyberpunk parkour", or as I like to call: "Punkour": D. I defined a series of characters and props, but before having them modeled in 3D, I started with a good old character design. He is the simplest of this set of characters, which artificial legs do you prefer? And btw, yes, I can draw. Contact me if you like more art.

If you play wargames I'm sure you have some forgotten army around your house. It's the same for me, my Warhammer Orc army is an unfinished mess. I've sold halfof it, but I still have a lot of orcs, and to tell the truth I cannot look at those goofy faces anymore. So time for an head swap, let see what toys I have around? Well, in the end I think they look great now! Good proxies for Chaos Beastmen. There are a lot of photos, so for a full view, check my blog. toy-hammer.blogspot.it/2018/01/elephant-men-orc-toybash.html

Hello guys, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas full of love and gifts. Well, back to business. Looking for gifts I finally found some big cone-shaped seashells. I think they are used for fish tanks, but we'll use them for something better. Stalagmites! (or stalactites if you glue them on the ceiling). First of all what do you need? The cheapest air dry modelling clay you can find (if you are a gluegun master you can use it) cone shaped seashells something to use as a base (I used pressed cardboard) sand glue paint In this tutorial I'll show you how to make stone, ice and lava terrain. But you can use these shells to make some organic looking terrain too, maybe an alien breeding nest, or crystal towers. If you are thinking to use one of these shell as a base for a Roper or some other creature... please let me know if you made it. Cave stalagmites tutorial 1) make a little blob of clay on your base and put the shells in the order you like. I prefer to have the big sheels a little on the background. 2) sculpt the clay as you like, you can texturize it with a rock or tin foil. I used the back of a brush to make some holes. I also add some big rocks around. 3) flock as you like. I used two different sands to have a mix of small and medium rocks. 4) paint it. I used only drybrush from this one. In order: black primer, dark brown, sienna brown, dark gray, light gray, white. The technique is the same if you want to make different terrain. For example: Icicles The difference is only in the paint, you can check my igloo tutorial to know how I painted the ice. The short version is: white coat, cyan wash, drybrush white, fake snow. Let's see how they look painted and with Santa's friends. Also, about the igloo, here a bonus figure, the saberthoot tiger toy I showed in the tutorial. I think it is pretty amazing. Last, lava terrain. Again, same technique. This time I used the same colors as for my fire elemental. White basecoat, yellow, red wash, drybrush yellow, drybrush black, drybrush dark gray. And finally, a shot with everything. As stated before, you can put the shells upside down to make stalactites.
