So does this pertain to making the mold or using it? I've made the mold, now I'm looking at casting my plastic model. I'm wondering if soap will be sufficient to ensure that my newly cast plastic can be removed from my green stuff mold.

 

I have terminated now to watch and admire your incredible and fantastic models!!!
I haven't ever seen models painted and sculpted at this level! I prefer your models to the GW ones!
Very very very good work! I can't wait to see your next models!!!

@DanBot thanks a lot man! I really apreciate the comment, the work here is amayzing!! I am always looking for inspiration and new ideas.

Yes although it takes me a while I thing puting some work into the bases really helps the paint job.

Hahhaa about the skink with the spell sorry about that I have been struggling to find time to paint latelly, but I hope to get back started soon and post some updates.

 

Ohh, I see what you mean, I have never cast plastic models using green stuff, I am not sure on how to do that.

The only thing I have done is green stuff bits out of green stuff molds. I am not sure how you would use them to cast plastic models.

Here is an example of what I mean

 

Wow! Thanks a bunch man! I am not sure I am quite at that level but I am really happy you think so. Hopefully I can get back on track and post some updates on my other models soon

 

Those are some awesome bases. Thanks for the reply!

Thank you.

Hey Guys!

Sorry to keep you waiting so long, but since a couple of you have been asking about this proyect I decided to get to work and post some updates!

The idea behind the paint scheme is that I wanted to make the spell look very magical at the beguining of the casting and than try to make an effect such that it looked as if the dragon was materializing as the end.

I am not sure if I was succesfull at giving this impresion so any suggestions, or comments are wlcomed!

Hope you like it!

That looks a-MAZING! The dragon's head is so life like, I was almost expecting it to blink! I can't wait to see what you do with the priest itself...

 

Thanks guys! @Crowsfoot @Caprasauridae I am working on the priest right now, and also trying some new techniques on the skin, hopefully I will finish it soon.

 

@Crowsfoot its called Loded Brush, I fist saw it on this video

It is basically a way to blend faster on the go.

Also I highly recomend that chanel, their painting tutorials are awesome!

Hope you like it

 

Ghhh, they... make... it... look... so... EASY! I'll definitely try that loaded brush technique, it looks awesome, but I doubt it will be a success on my first try...

EDIT: I guess the two most important things in that technique are the correct dilution of the paint and the type of brush (long bristles that can hold a lot of paint).

 

I tested the 2-brush blending on the crystal of my Bastiladon and it worked nicely. Then I tried it again on the wings of the Pathfinder Red Dragon, and it didn't work at all. I would wager that the loaded brush is better for small, asymmetrical parts, like the six pack of that Khorne dude. I would be curious to see what you are able to do with the technique, @Crowsfoot!
