and had a go at sculpting a 6mm figure to see if I could do it.

I had no idea how to start so had a quick look on TMP about armatures and bases and all that and after 10 minutes decided just to have a go anyway!

I also had no idea what to make so I just started with legs, then a body then a head.
It was at this point I decided I wanted him to have a gun.
I bashed some plasticard and brass strips together using superglue and made a strange looking rifle type thing.
Stuck some arms on and then decided he was going to be a post-apocalyptic sort.
So a knee pad, a beret, a pouch and giant rucksack followed.

It was not long until I had a little 6mm man all of my own making.
Yay!

I then decided I wanted a suitable base for him.
So I got out the Green Stuff again and made a barren base with bits of the old world poking through the mud.
Pipes, a rusted metal cage, a puddle full of water and a blue tarpaulin with a curious shape under it were then added.
Finished.


I think that all things considered, this being the first time I have used Green Stuff and the first time I have ever tried to sculpt a figure it is not too bad.
It is not of saleable quality, his eyes are wonky and the detail is not crisp enough but I reckon with a bit more practice I may be able to sell one or two of them.


Anyway, say hello to Badland Bob.






















Michael.

Great effort, he looks like a little para from the falklands war


Regards epic

Thanks.

I had a go at another one last night.
Still very rough as this is still only my second ever sculpt but hopefully you can see who it is meant to be...?





I could not get a good photo of the front but he has a waistcoat and cravat.

The scarf gives it away Very good sculpt

It's not Ron Jeremy with a fluffy coat?

eeeeeeeeeeeeeew

really nice stuff - especially for ur first attempts

as for the second one - my guess would be some dude who rides around in a British police box

Excellent work. However, they look large for 6mm. How tall are they? 10mm?

Who could that be?

Nice sculpts, you have the knack.

Badland Bob is 6mm to the eyes.
The other chap is 6.5mm to the eyes (I wanted him to be a bit taller than the average joe)


May I ask why you thought they were 10mm?

Don't really know, it was just a feeling. Maybe the proportions, might also be the base on BB. Could be the details, too - they're a lot more detailed than many of the 6mm figs I own. Given they're 40% smaller than I expected I'm even more impressed.
