Occasionally, while I am working on other projects, I'll end up with extra, leftover putty that I have no immediate use for. In these situations I try to make use of it rather than wasting it. Now days, I tend to press it between two pieces of cellophane to create a good, smooth flat sheet to cut into bits for building up equipment and gear. Sometimes I want to be more creative, especially when I am on a roll and so I'll do what I call, "doodle sculpting".
This is pretty much the same thing as doodling with pen or pencil. Start with nothing or only a vague idea in mind and push the putty around into something with more form and detail. This is the case with these first two below.

| Dino, giant lizard or flightless bird nest |
There are times where the concept requires a little up front work and is a bit more complex than a doodle. The rune stone below did require that I put a piece of wire, upright out of the rocks at the base. Once this had cured, then I could go to work on the run stone itself.
I have other doodle sculpts laying about and will post them as I get the pictures taken.
Have fun!

I play around with leftovers too, but never on this scale or to this standard! These could be wonderful little base elements or objective markers.
ReplyDeleteNice work, I especially like the runestone.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys. Objective markers is what I was thinking too.
ReplyDeleteI played Rat Trap's .45 Adventure and it makes extensive use of event markers. I always though that little based accent pieces like these would be a heck of a lot nicer on the table than just tokens.
I haven't played that game in a while now, but many other games have similar features.
Nice work, especially the nest, really nice.
