The Sculpting Links Page

If you'd like to try your hand at sculpting or need some advice on converting your figures, then you've come to the right place or as close as this place is going to get to it anyway.

Sculpting Pages

Sites offering tips and tutorials on sculpting and converting your models.

Lyon Studio
Fantasy and Science Fiction Wargame Miniature designs by Kevin Chenevert. Aside from galleries containing pictures of greens and concept sketches there is a section with excellent sculpting articles by Bobby Jackson, Bob Lippman, Phil Lewis,... Great stuff that humbles me (or should)! - WK
Tabletop Action Universe (TAU)
A nice site with some in depth articles and tips on sculpting and converting and an extensive gallery of greens and painted figures. - WK
The Assault Group
A few tips about dollies and armatures from the hand of my good friend Seth Nash, twentysomething cybergoth petrolhead uber-father and maker of "little green men". He's a wacko, but his skills are good. - WK
New Vision Studios
Aside from some painting tips, NVS offers a few conversion tutorials and a conversion forum to discuss projects, ask for more tips, etc... - WK
The House of Ebob
Good website of a master sculptor with a leaning towards characters of Middle Earth. His step by step tutorial on sculpting faces is fabulous! - WK
The Miniaturegallery
A German site (in English) with an extensive gallery, some painting tips and a section devoted to sculpting. - WK
The Miniatures Page
No need to introduce TMP, I'm sure. But did you know they've also got a handy reference corner with tips on sculpting, molding, casting, converting, painting, basing, etc...? - WK

Tony Aldrich Figures
Some basic but important tips from this sculptor on materials you'll need to get the most out of your greenstuff and a step by step article on a sculpt in progress. - WK
Minutiae
The "Mini-A-Week" project. In order to develop his skills, Joel Patton is painting or sculpting one mini a week from November 2003 - 2004. He's sculpted some unusual critters so far and explains his technique, but will he progress from wormy blobs to sculpting greatness? Only time (and this site) will tell. - Rob

A website devoted to building kits but hosting some incredible LOTR scratchbuilt Oliphants. - W.K.

Repent
Interesting site with lots of conversions of 40k miniatures, as well as some general sculpting tips in the workshop section. A lot of it can easily be applied to fantasy or historical miniatures too. - WK
