Work In Progress-Theoden from The Two Towers

Update III finished with foot and now mounted version.

Really need to work on increasing the differentiation in my highlights and shading.

Here are some pics of the Theoden I am working on, in the background you can also see some converted High Elves.  Don't know how I am going to do all the gold bits on his armor...yet.

GW releases updated book for Orcs and Goblins

Yeah, it's fantasy stuff.  The Aracknarok spider is pretty neat looking.  Sits on a 100x150mm base so I doubt it could be converted to a new Spider Queen.

Instant Mold quick project

So as I said last week I purchased some Instant Mold from Cool Mini or Not.  Here are the results from a quick, and I mean quick grab whatever I had on my desk and try to make a mold in 15 minutes quick.  This stuff really is pretty easy to work with.  I placed the sticks I received in 208 degree water for about 5 minutes, pulled it out with a sculpting tool and flattened it with my fingers.  Then proceeded to push these pieces into the flattened mold.  Waited for the Instant Mold to cool ( couple of minutes),  I then pulled out the object. Using  green Milliput I pressed it into the mold to make the copy.  I used two separate bases to make molds, one was simple and another was complex , to get an idea of what this stuff was capable of.  Also one of a Rohan Royal Guard arm bit like the gun they did in the video.  Overall, this stuff is easy to use and really does recycle.  I tried it and yes it does work when you heat it up again and remold, the arm bit is proof of that.  So two thumbs up from me.
Here is a second batch.
