  1. 3D printed from 3dminis-factory.com Big range of SW figures. Ciao Iwik
  2. Hi there! The SW fan that I am totally fell for this little mini of the little fellow from the band playing at Jabba's Palace in the RotJ. RIP. Painted with acrylics. I had to cut off the loudspeaker (?) to have a better access for an easy painting. The eyes were carved out, being underscaled, holes were drilled, painted black, and filled with a drop of UV curing cyano. Had some good fun. Hope you'll like it! Ciao Iwik
  3. No. Just from someone's creative mind. Bless be he! I've got 2 similar droids but I chose to buy them in 32mm instead. Maybe later this year... Ciao IWik
  4. Hi y'all! Here's the latest! A figure with great personality I think. Parts with a lead figure don't fit as well as with resin ones but has the benefit of coming in several parts to ease the painting process. Something you can't always have with the new 3d printed figures... I've tried not to give too much texture to the tunic, in order to contrast with the much worn shield. Painted with acrylics only. Hope you'll like it! Ciao IWik
  5. Hi y'all! A little trip into the futur. It's a 3d printed miniature from Papsikel, printed for me by the french company les forges de brennos. The advantage of 3d printed figures is the great details one can have. The drawback is that they don't come in separate pieces which does not make it easy to paint some corners of the figure. However, I took a lot of pleasure to paint this fellow and set him in a little setting that, I believe, tells a story. ADAB means All Droids Are sweethearts... :mrgreen: Hope you'll like it!

  6. Hi! No, resin. What made you think it was metal? Ciao IWik
  7. Hi y'all! Here's my latest. A 54mm Hoplomachus from Mercury MOdels. Very nice casting and perfect fit. Hope you'll like it. Ciao IWik PS Crap... Jus t realized I forgot to paint and glue the knife tucked in his belt...
  8. Hi Andy! Couldn't you have solidify the longer arm and fix it slightly to the stone on the ground and dispense with the metalic support, or is the kit too heavy for that? I did it with mine, but, ok, it was 1/72... Ciao IWik
  9. Hi! One of the best MF I've seen... Outstanding! Ciao Iwik
  10. Hi Bertie! Will you marry me? Jeez, these are way too kind words for me to read! Thanks a lot! I did try to dirty the helmet a bit as you have guessed! The thing is, I had just bought a bunch of Vallejo Metal Color paints and wanted to try them out. They are great indeed and offer an uncomparable shine. Too much actually... You are right. If I were to make it again I would use different hues or maybe the same ones but on a white base and not a shiny black one. As for the holes for the eyes, they are actually black. I don't mean they are all perfectly black, but the shiny spots you can see on the pics are actually some light reflections from the shiny black base. I should have put a few drops of matt varnish but it doesn't really show without spotlights on. As for the worn look, I did want to give the impression that the equipment he's wearing has been used many times over by different gladiators. So I guess I did it right if you have that impression. I'm really pleased you like this piece and that it gave you any pleasure. I will continue to try to do my best! Thanks again!!! Ciao IWik
  11. Hi y'all! After the Aquilifer bust, I decided to stay in the same time period with this SBS Gladiator bust at the same 1/20 scale. Painted with acrylics only. Hope you'll like it! Ciao IWik
  12. Thanks all. BERTIE I only used acrylics. Vallejo and a couple of citadel. Ciao Iwil
  13. Very few. Pegaso's are OOP... You can find some at FERminiatures (a great viking in my stash ) Ciao IWik and thanks!
  14. Hi y'all! Here's my latest! A OOP 1/20 bust from Pegaso. All painted with acrylics. Liked it so much that I started another same scale bust (a gladiator). See you soon (kind of...). Hope you like it. Ciao Iwik
