Dimlit Sculpt start


Dimlit will be sculpted to be dwarf size at 80mm scale. This means he will come in at 55-60mm in height himself. I choose the large size since he is for display and not gaming.


The tools I will use are:

Dental type metal sculpting tools for actual sculpting (set was bought online for cheap),

Rubber tipped clay shapers for smoothing and organic detail work (set bought online cheap), xacto knife (both sharp a dulled). Sharp one for cutting epoxy from strip and removing joined epoxy area in center of strip before mixing and dull one for sculpting straight edges. The dulled blade is permanant and has been glued in that old knife. I dulled it using a grinder but you can do same with sandpaper or whetstone.

Epoxy "Greenstuff" or ProCreate ("greystuff") are the two most common for basic miniature sculpting. You can find everything you ever wanted to know about these using google.


I will use a few other handmade objects later but I will explain them as they are used.
