A return to Reaper

OK!  I promised more Reaper minis, so I collected a new batch of images.  There are still many more, which are 'hidden' in other directories and folders.  The figures you have been seeing so far were mostly my own projects.  I painted loads of Reaper minis for commissions, and those have their own project folders on a different computer.

So, without further delay:





















Hope you enjoyed them!

Ilyad Miniatures... wish they were still around!

I think there are several more Ilyad figures to be found in my old galleries 'o painted stuff, but this is a good start.  I always liked the product from this company, which was super detailed resin minis.  They were a slightly larger scale (32 mm?), but the casts were very solid.

The resin was very strong, there were very few bent parts, and even fewer air bubbles!  Almost none, in fact.  Loads of fantastic details, which hopefully these pictures show.  I did need a razor saw to get the minis off the square bases (I assume they used it as a de-facto gate), but they went well on my usual marble/tile bases.  The most fun I had on a base is the mosaic style base that looks like it's from Pompeii.

The giant was huge.  The base is probably 100 x 100 mm square, if not more.

Here we go!

Freebooter minis

Werner Kloke has always been one of my favorite sculptors, since the details tend to be very clean, and the faces have eyes that are large enough to create some extra personality.  Hands, armor, weapons, all were nicely sculpted and easy to paint.

The poses and composition were also a nice balace between dynamic and relaxed, and composed well.

Here are a few images:

Photos of the Temple of Kroak

Here is a collection of images of a piece that I sculpted back in 2004. 

It is made entirely out of sculpey, so it must have weight 8-10 pounds!  It was very massive, as the 28mm figures show in a relative size comparison.  The figure of Kroak was also sculpted from scratch using sculpey. 

I have learned a great deal about constructing things such as this since then.  There are a number of WIP images of a second sculpey temple (the first Temple of Blood), so that will give you a pretty good idea of how this structure was built.

Fortunately, I made some press moulds of the various icons on this temple.  You might recognize a few of them on the Temple of Blood army board version. 

Due to size limitations, these pictures really don't show the full grandeur of the Temple, but it gives you a hint!

Some images now:

One more Reaper fest!

Here is yet another batch of Reaper figures!

Another batch of Reaper minis

I thought that I would continue the trend of posting Reaper minis, since my file gallery is so extensive!  more to come:













More later today!

More Reaper minis

Continuing with the posting of past Reaper miniatures, I am putting up another batch of pictures.  There are many, many, many more!

Enjoy...















More to come...
