Chance of Gaming Podcast

When Adam contacted me about being interviewed for his Podcast “Chance of Gaming” I had two immediate questions.


1) What the hell is a podcast?


2) What the hell do I have to talk about?


I am decidedly un- hip, I do not tweet and I refuse to buy an I-phone.


I took some time out to listen to the Chance of Gaming Podcasts and found their style to be an R rated entertaining and irreverent look at all things gaming, from board to miniature to computer games.


I agreed to the interview but I wasn’t even sure I would be able to fill twenty minutes with anything interesting. Turns out once you get me started you won’t be able to shut me up. If you have some time on your hands and you want to learn a bit more about me and the way I create my models, give a listen to Chance of Gaming Episode 10. I do recommend that you try out the other episodes as well… I found them entertaining and even learned a thing or two.

So sit back in your favorite chair, relax and enjoy!

Moddler

I just noticed that John over at Moddler is using the Dictator model I made for Khurasan on his splash page.
I let myself get a little tickled over this because John has some real talent from other artist, ala-Zbrush, in his portfolio pictures and I'm pleased I made the cut.  Jon over at Khurasan should have this monster available soon, so keep your eyes on his web page.


Just a bit about, the man who makes my 3D models into real world objects:

John Vegher does all my 3D prints, he offers great service at a great price.... I know because I have shopped around. In John's last career, he ran a Emmy winning visual effects house and was a founding member of Giant Killer Robots and Pixel Liberation Front.

If you ever need a 3d model made into a real world object, I recommend you put Moddler on your short list of service providers.

Leviathan Crusader Head

I never got a chance to post pics of the Crusader head, so here you go...
Here are a couple of shots of the Vulkan Cannon with ammo belt and accessories.

And here is a shot of the torso. The hydraulics are not in place but it should give a good feel of scale.


Here is a shot of the arm components. Note the key design so you can remove the arms and change out the weapons.

Leviathan WIP

I just had to send out a little tease....

Here are some rather blurry shots of the model. I really need to get a new camera. I have taken better pictures with a phone :)

These shots have the Reaper head in the chassis. everything is just dry fit so please excuse the gaps between components but you can get an idea of the scale of the torso compared to the wonderfully sculpted but poorly shot MERCS mini.

When I get a chance and a better camera, I'll throw up more pics.

MERCS minis

The gents over at MERCS were kind enough to comp me a set of figures. I did the cad work on the weapons for these bad boys.

All I have to say is AMAZING! the pictures just don't give them the props they deserve. The dynamic poses, the level of detail are just mind blowing. I have seen ForgeWorld minis up close and they are quite nice, but they are also resin, and resin is more capable of capturing the fine details. These minis are all metal and so detailed that I doubt my painting skills are up to the task.

Hats off to all the boys at MERCS for some incredible minis!

I must thank JBR for having the opportunity to work with this client... I know it must have pained him to pass on the job.

Khurasan Tribal Class Spacecraft

Jon just posted up some great shots of a 15mm craft I did for him a few months back. Link.


He has a lot more pics of the painted model on his blog... so be sure to check out the link!

Khurasan Ogre Beetle

JRachel over at TMP just posted some pics of his fantastic paint job of the Ogre Beetle I made for Khurasan.
Shown here with the Cafferata. APC on the left and the Colonial Crawler designed by the very talented JBR on the right. Thats one big bug!
