A Dryad Guardian that I sculpted. He stands just under three and a half inches tall.

What’s it made from? I’ve never had the knack for sculpting this small. This is really impressive.

It looks to be sculpted from two-part epoxy. Just out of curiosity, why not use sculpy for the body & two-part for the detail? Also, what kind of armature did you use? Brass?

Anyhow, it’s fantastic. Great job. Are you going to paint it? If so, please post pics when you do.

Yes, it’s made out of the two-part epoxy putty that is known as Green Stuff (also sold as Kneadatite, since you have to knead the two parts together to get it into a sculptable state and start its curing process).

suicydking – I made it all out of GS since that’s what I had on hand (I buy it in bulk since I’m making a 5,000-point Death Guard army with every model a conversion, so I get through tons of that shit :D) and it seems to do what I want it to. I make my own armatures out of galvanised steel wire – it’s rigid enough to hold a solid pose but just flexible enough to allow for adjustments to the position of limbs etc should they be needed.

Jesus Christ – not *yet*, but I’m working on it; this model is actually something I made to be part of my portfolio of sculpted thingies to show to prospective employers…
