Jester Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Well, here we have two Werner Klocke sculpts: Gargram Heavyhand and a Freebooter Fairy. As far as Gargram goes, just think "HEAVY DWARVEN METAL"... All paint on the figure is MSP. Not the base, though... and I guess I wanted a dwarf as I haven't done a piece for myself in quite some time. Gargram Heavyhand (Standard View) Enlarged view of Gargram And then we come to the Freebooter Fairy... I had fun with this project. The mushroom is custom-sculpted out of ApoxieClay, and she's pinned everywhere. In fact the pin in her foot is a highspeed drillbit as nothing else was rigid enough to suit the piece. Freebooter Fairy (NUDITY WARNING) So enjoy, and see yah around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstar Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 The "dark iron" effect on the Dwarf is nice. Looks good with that gold of yours. The mushroom under that fairy is disturbingly realistic, totally convincing. In any case, well done on the whole Fairie, I like the seamless look of the contact point of her feet and the 'shroom top.

Jubilee Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 All of your blends and transitions are so smooth. I'm jealous. The only criticism I have is that the NMM gold on the fairy's spear and the color of her wings are very close in color, so it seems a bit 'off' to me.

Brushmaster Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Very , very nice!!!! How do you get metal to look so nice ? WOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 I've attached a pic below of how the Fairy looked prior to priming and painting. I had to do a test to see if she would stay put on the mushroom sculpt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstar Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Apoxie clay eh...I didn't think you coud get something like this out of the stuff...thought it was more for "bulking out" projects and not for detail. What do you think of working with it? I've seen the "Black Gobbo" guys use it alot in their terrain projects, but haven't seen any sculpting like this with it before. As I understand it's fairly affordable as well but I thought it was more of a "goopy" type of clay that you kind of "slimed" over your layout to build it up lol.

Lawgiver Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Gorgeous work as usual. The blending is great. I love the beard on the dwarf. very realistic. Armor rocks as does the realistic looking base. The mushroom on the fairie looks real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know a lot about the "Black Gobbo" guys... but I've used the ApoxieClay and ApoxieSculpt for terrain as well as sculpting for awhile now. The sculpting properties are somewhat iffy at times, but if you let it cure up about 30 minutes, it works well enough, plus you can cut it into greenstuff as well. Plus it does take a bit longer than GS to cure... but everything does have it's advantages. The ApoxieSculpt is a real brittle mess to work with right away, but I do love it for terrain. The ApoxieClay is what I prefer with sculpting. But the best part - other than it being cheaper than GS by a large margin - is that you can shape, cut, sand, file, dremel, crack, etc. to it once it's cured.

CuCulain42 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Very nice, the dwarf really looks like he's wearing iron armour. And that musroom Wow, The fairy isn't bad either. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstar Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Haha, sounds like the Apoxie stuff would be very useful around here. :) I love the green stuff, but like you said, it's costly. Thanks for the review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordColdsteal Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Wow.. that is some great NMM. I love the dark with the gold. Awsome job! The dwarf's hair is amazing, great job. The fiary looks amazing as well. I love the wings. The skin is right on as well. Truly inspirational. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 Is this the stuff you used Jester? http://www.avesstudio.com/Products/Apoxie_...poxie_clay.html Yep... and they also sell the ApoxieSculpt... I bought the 1 lb tubs of each... and the best thing is it is freeze/thawable so you only have to keep out a bit at a time... Here's the Apoxie Sculpt link: http://www.avesstudio.com/Products/Apoxie_...xie_sculpt.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niloc Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Outstanding job on the dwarf and fairy ! Thanks for sharing :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enchantra Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Thanks Jester, you rock. they had some other neat stuff on that site as well. Interesting to note a lot of their clays can withstand temps up to 500 degrees, that's darn impressive, heck pewter melts at a lower temp then that. I wonder if you could make greens from this stuff?
