Ko SprueOne Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 The Black and White technique has impressed me so much that I've purchased a B/W paint set to try and achieve this look on a few projects I have in the queue . . .

Garethm Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) I got into sculpting figures recently, and decided it was time for me to build a diorama. For this, I decided to build a box diorama of the final scene from the opera Pagliacci. Little did I know that sculpting and painting 26 figures would be as time consuming as it was. I had decided the scene would take place in the early 1890s, and this meant doing some research on the fashions of the era. The final product. This is what the scene looks like without the box around it. Edited September 18, 2022 by Garethm 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Super cool @Garethm. What else do you have to share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garethm Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Well I've already started my next project. I don't want to reveal too much of it yet, but it will be a noir thing. I've sculpted and painted some of the figures. I should finish the whole thing in a month or so, and then it will be on to the next project. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmareOnElmStreet Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Holy shit, man. Big props and respect for having the time, patience, and most of all creativity to land on the mark with that type of art. I know all of not a single person who does it. Seen a guy or two over the years that enjoys building out model abandoned buildings but never with the actual figurines and definitely not on this level of detail. Is that just a random hobby you picked up or have you been into other forms of sculpting for a long time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ko SprueOne Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 @GarethmGood to see you posting in here again. I see you've started sculpting your own figures now and doing well at it.

Garethm Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Thanks. I started sculpting about a year and a half ago because I began to realize that the figures that were commercially available would never really quite be able to do what I wanted them to do. These were the first two that I sculpted, and I think I've made decent progress since then. @NightmareOnElmStreetI've been a scale modeler for most of my life, mostly painting figures and vehicles. I took up sculpting because it was the only way to branch out into the subject matter that I wanted to. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmareOnElmStreet Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 These truly are dope! Curious if you sell your work in galleries or if it’s purely hobby based? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garethm Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I have sold some prints of photos that I took, but never tried actually selling anything that I've built. I am definitely considering that though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ko SprueOne Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I was asking because it would be a little easier if they were separate parts. I'd use Epoxy Putty aka Plumber's Epoxy to sculpt the repair. It's a two part (A + B) putty material that you can get for 1 hour cure to 15 minute cure time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ko SprueOne Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Michaels may stock it but at a higher 'art supply' price. Yeah, any hardware store will carry this product 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ko SprueOne Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Epoxy Putty is my go-to sculpting material. I have both 15 minute and 1 hour on hand. The 15 minute stuff for easy stuff made quick. The 1 hour is for things like hair on a figure. It gives me enough time to fck it up, which I always do, then correct the fck up. 1 hour cure actually means around 48 minutes working time 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
