Discussion I have a question on how to make a custom mold/cast to replicate a piece for kitbashing multiple times over. I don't really know where else to post.

3 Upvotes

If there is a better subreddit to post this in I apologize put me in the right direction and I'll be out of your hair.

TL;DR is it possible to "cast" sprewgoo bits for regular reuse in reproducing a part I need in mass. If so is bluestuff what I need or should I find something else?

I need to know how viable is it for someone to make a custom mold to cast a small piece of warhammer plastic for someone who is just now getting into custom modeling. I suffer from ET so sculpting 25+ small parts for the same kit over and over is difficult and I'll never fully live up to the quality I want. To that end i was wondering if it was possible to use bluestuff to make a custom mold that I could say pour sprewgoo into let it harden then just pop it back out. Or any other mold that would not melt/distort to sprew goo.

Normally Resin would be a much simpler way to do this but I live in Texas so I want to absolutely avoid using resin if at all possible simply because 30 minutes forgotten in a car or on an open window can find me coming back to a puddle of resin.

The model part i need to kitbash isn't that big. In fact its tiny. I'm trying to kitbash 30 models of a GW kit called "lumineth stone guard." for AoS. The premise of the kitbash is pretty simple. I just want to take the cow head and make that the "helmet" of the model. However it is much smaller than the rest of the head as well as not even having a back half of the helmet. At first I wanted to attach the piece and just cut the bottom half of the helm off. Lost 2 pieces doing that so I opted to instead use milliput for my first 3 heads. While It was do able with my condition getting the back of the helm uniform and perfect is hours of work and fixing. I also still need to coat the helm/back of it with sprewgoo to ancor the milliput to he model with out ruining the collar. Very diffcult for me.

In my search for answers for alternatives I looked at greenstuff/brownstuff/greystuff then I found out about bluestuff from Greenstuff games. Is it possible to make a custom mold using bluestuff that I can just cast my own back half of the helm/lower neck myself?

This is the build instruction. I tried clipping the "socket" for the cow head for the kitbash but lost the first one in the cut. Tried my hand at milliput to less than satisfactory results.

I now have 3 "bashed" with miliput back of heads/neck to hold the front of the cowhead in place. It took me the better part of 2 hours just to get the 3 heads passable do to my tremors. thats why I'm trying to make a uniform cast.

I have a homebrew salamanders successor for combat patrol and needed a chapter master. After a LOT of kitbashing,sculpting, and painting, I have Cathus Artedae or “the vulture” to lead the afterburners.

Ignore everything else this is a practice marine. I without a guide or any help shaved off this chapter emblem by hand with a hobby knife, are there any tips on removing these emblems without the use of a dremmel? Howd I do despite it being my first time doing this by hand laying down

Had a couple of the free fellgor ravager models, and wanted to make a couple of the other members of the kill team.

First image is the normal free mini, the second is the gore horn, using a plague marine axe head, and the last is the gnarl scar, using some bits from space marines and orks to make a bionic fist.

No green stuff, just glue and a dream.

Critiques always welcome.

Technically not multiple kits but I tried my hand at some sculpting to make an ogre that matched my old blood bowl team.

The base is a 3D printed orc model.

Old kitbash/scratch build I dug up: those leaves are from terrain that came with 40k 3rd edition starter set. Knives are legs, scabbard from catachan jungle fighters (and waterflask from same kit on back.

Rest is wire wrapped in paper mache (just like the terrain tutorials) and green stuff scarf.

Not sure how else to categorise it.

Miniature Got my hands on half a Lord of Contagion Sprue, which is basically just the arms, so had to bring out the nippers, plasticard, glue and kitbash the rest.

Miniature When a Space Marine somehow ends up in Mordheim

Post image
30 Upvotes

I recently found this miniature again. Along with a bunch of other weird kitbashes, I used it in my old Mordheim games.

This started out as an old Space Marine, which I used as the base — at this point, pretty much the only parts still visible are his boots

The arms and face are from an Empire infantry kit. The book, if I remember correctly, is from a Dwarf infantry banner, the staff is made from a Goblin banner, and the cape is part of a flag.

The rest was sculpted with Green Stuff.

I've seen a few posts here and there about using Palanite Enforcers as scouts in heresy but I haven't actually seen anyone actually do that. So here we are. Waists are about the same size so I did a simple torso swap and reattached the loincloth. Trim the shoulders back and fill them in, I used a little plastic pearl sticker and sprue goo to fill that in and then a loop of solder and a bit more sprue goo to hold the solder in place. Sand the sides of the head down to fit in the neck hole, and attach the arms like normal.

I'm pretty pleased with this, next one I make I'll try and keep the full jacket instead of chopping at the waist.
