Very nice. Initially I sometimes was like "mäh .. that ork face could be a bit more detailed " .. but when you hold the figurine in your fingers you realize how flipping tiny these heads are .. so well done!

@KabinMiniatures Жыл бұрын

Thanks! Yeah, the Middle Earth minis are quite small when you have them in hand. It's easy to forget that they are on 25mm bases when you only see pictures of them.

Lads of Warhammer and So forth are amazing! The Patience, the Art! Sure it takes time, but it’s that time and the effort that is so brilliant! Oh, and the considerably wide wallets!😂

Thank you kindly! My wallet would probably do a lot better if Warhammer had never been invented 🤣

Obligatory note about wearing a dust mask and vacuuming up your work area when filing this much resin, despite assurances that it's non-toxic. Lovely job on these: modding minis to prevent the horror of even two identical models is what slows my own output to a dribble, so it's inspiring to see someone blasting through this many monoposes with such purposeful attention to detail and organisation.

You're quite right, safety first! 👍 Thank you so much! I know the feeling... the Gundabads took quite some time, but I think it was worth it.

@frederikschulze8218 Жыл бұрын

Nice video! really like the conversions! I convert most of my SBG models as I don't like having duplicates so I usually go through a similar process of cutting up my minis and rearranging them into different configurations for maximum variety

Awesome, awesome work! I’m also returning to Middle Earth, and though I’ve been eyeing Angmar (and the gorgeous new Witch-King), I couldn’t help but fall in love with the Gundabad orc aesthetic. When I looked for these models they were out of stock (now I know why lol) but this is an excellent guide and use of the sculpts and upgrades. I absolutely love the custom helmet you made with the Chaos skull, epic stuff dude! Happy New Year, and good luck destroying the world of Men :D

nice army! my part 1 of building Azogs Legion would be: Dont build Azogs legion xD You payed a sheit ton of money and your cast aswell was very low quality. Shoddy at best. The ammount of work you had to put into these things just to receive a decent outcome... no way.

Cool that you like to watch others work with miniatures, I do that myself with other hobbies that I'm not active with myself. As for Finecast resin, there is a reason why it has such a poor reputation... but I find it oddly satisfying to try to make it look as good as possible.
