Mutober day 20 - Capt. Knee

I am just going to go with the old artist adage and say "I think this piece speaks for itself."

Yup.

Capt. Knee is available now in the Wanderer and Warlord folders.

Mutober day 19: More mutie heads.

Bleerg.

No can do good brainy today. Too much work and lack of sleep finally caught up with me. Was going to work on October release model today, but instead had to stay in bed because the body said no.


So not a very productive day today. But I did manage to sculpt some mutie heads for you. They are available now in the the Wanderer and 2022-10-19 18:04:52 +0000 UTC View Post

Mutober day 17 and 18: Brundle the fly guy, and mutie swords.

Joyeous recognitions, fellow travellers.


Todays mutants release is a set of ill-maintained swords, and Brundle the fly guy, as sculpted on last nights stream 

Everything has been supported and added to the Wanderer and 2022-10-18 18:59:48 +0000 UTC View Post

Mutober day 16: Modular torso

Oh look what I made last night :) 

Now we finally have enough parts in the Mutober set to assemble a complete mutant!

I´m going to take a little break now, and then I will start working on this months release over on View Post

Mutober 13-15 - Modular bits and bobs

I didn´t quite catch up fully today, but I did get through the day 13-15 releases. 

More modular mutant bits to play with :)


All printready and available in the Wanderer and Warlord folders.

Mutober day 12: Project HEN_209 aka "The Giant Chicken Mutant"

Following failed attempts at introducing robotics based police enforcers, the HEN 209 project revolutionized chicken based lawenforcement with the largest and most lethal breed of poultry ever developed by a private contractor.

HEN 209 is available in the Wanderer and Warlord folders now.

Mutober day 9, 10 and 11 batch update

Whew! I barely got through the weekend, and its already midweek!


I am glad to report that I have not been lying down resting, but have so far actually kept up with my "Sculpt a -something- everyday" October project. I just havent had the time to prepare the files, upload them, and post updates ;) 

So today is a batch update of what I did Sunday through Tuesday. We have:

Day 9: Hammer and Hatchet, to go with the modular mutants.

Day 10: Rando, the mutant...

Mutober day 8: Big cleaver

Hi Guys,

I am attending a painting workshop this weekend, and don´t have a lot of time for modelling. I did manage to sculpt a big cleaver :) The arms fit with the modular mutants and the hands should make a good fit with most of the 28-32mm scale models out there.

You can find the Big Cleaver in the Wanderer or War...

Mutober day 7: Mutated giant rat!

Freshly sculpted rats! Get your freshly sculpted rats here! Only slightly mutated, two for the price of one!


The mutated giant rat is available now in the Wanderer and Warlord folders. Enjoy :)

Mutober day 5 and 6: Sproutlings!

The mutant potato children are here, and they are out to do some peeling of their own!

I made the first of the Sproutlings yesterday, and his two siblings today. I rolled them into one release for brevity :) So far, still on schedule with making "something" every day.

The Sproutlings are available to all Wanderer and View Post

Mutober day 4: Bingo Whackins, Mutant abomination

What more dangerous than a psychotic chaos halfling? An excessively mutated one, thats what!

We haven´t had a new version of Bingo in over a month, and I felt we were due another one. This incarnation of Bingo has been eating a few too many of those tasty green rocks, and it has made him even more hungry and deranged than usual!

Bingo the Abomination is available now in the Wanderer and 2022-10-05 11:34:21 +0000 UTC View Post

Mutober day 3: Meet Spuddington, the potato mutant

Spuddington is a proud decendant from a long line of solaneceae nobles, and has little time for the folly of commoners. He is constantly sprouting new offspring, but he makes sure to keep the bloodline in check, by using his more ambitious children as ammunition.

Spuddington is available now in the Wanderer and Warlord...

Yurg! the mutant.

Oh no! Take heed, fellow wasters, the mutants are revolting again!

So I´m breaking my own "one miniature a month" rule already, and we´re not even through the first month!

But I have been very frustrated with my sculpting speed, and wanted to do a quick speedsculpt before heading in to October. So I knocked out Yurg! here in record time ( about 5 hours, which is fast for me)

Yurg! is available now in the 2022-09-30 13:36:52 +0000 UTC View Post

Ready for the hunt!

Beware younglings! There are dangers out in the world. But also glory, profits and good eating, for a man with patience and a big gun.


The big game hunter is ( finally!) wrapped up and available to download from the Wanderer and Warlord folders.


Thanks for your patience this month, its been a bit quiet o...

The Hunter, late WIP

Appropriately enough, this guy has proven to be a real beast of a project to get through. Still not entirely happy with the design, but its getting closer and I hope to have him ready to release in a day or two :)

Big Game Hunter Mockup

Behold, friends,


The Big game hunter is ( slowly ) starting to take shape. I´ve settled on a general shape and idea for the character, and even given him a friend and a foe to go along with him.

Upcoming changes to tiers, please read.

Hey guys, thanks so much for your patience this month. Like I wrote in my last update, August has been a lot more hectic than planned for and I´ve fallen behind on getting new releases finished this month.

And just quickly to calm any misconceptions that may have arisen from my last post: I am perfectly fine, and not suffering from any kind of burnout or biological breakdowns. Its more that there was a lot of laundry to do, and accounting, and emails that needed answering, and a kid wh...

Tavish the Mercenary, and upcoming changes to the Patreon

Greetings friends,


Sorry for the lack of updates in August, I have been travelling the wide wonderless wasteland of having to "Take care of other stuff" Mainly family related, with school starting back up and us trying to get back in to good daily routines, but also I am finding that more and more of my time is just taken up with the logistics of managing the business side of my little company. Seems I have been spending more time this month answering emails and doing account...

A mutant and a mercenary

Whew what a month! Hope you all enjoyed a bit of time off in the sun. I know I did, which means I´m a bit late with the last couple of releases this month, but here they are at last :)

Marah the Doomed, Nuclear Cult Zealot

Happy summertime, my dear brethren.

I hope you are all enjoying yourself and getting a bit of time off from the rat race 😎

School holiday sort of snuck up on me this month, and I do apologize for the lack of updates so far. I have a lot of things cooking, so I look forward to sharing lots of fun minis with you this month. I´m in semi-vacation mode at the moment, so expect most of the releases to land in the second half of the month, when my son is away visiting his mum and I c...

Flying Mutant Killer Shark-scorpion-rays

"Invented by dr. Ove R. Kiel  in the late pre-fall era, the  Shark-scorpion-ray was one of the more  succesful forays into biology  based lethal aid technology. Today they  have become part of the  wasteland ecosystem, and most wastelanders  generally try to avoid being  killed by flying poisonus bloodsucking  mutant seacreatures. Though the  meat is supposedly quite tasty."

Another month comes to an end, thanks so much for your support ...

The tax man cometh!

Ahoy fellow travellers,

Better count your caps and get your story straight, or the tax collector might bureaucratise you to death. With his club!

Here´s a couple of sets I managed to finish up this week.

The tax collector comes with two different hand options, and I included his gear as separate items for your conversion projects.

Also  released is another set of base toppers, this one contains 28 pieces of  supportfree skulls and bones, as well as 6 separat...

Time to reload

There was a lot of response to my question from yesterday, a lot more than I was expecting, and both differing opinions and also a lot of commonality. I am enormously grateful for having your feedback.

One thing that was clear, is that most of you would be perfectly happy to receive the occasional miniature outside of the main theme. Thats good to know :) I do think I will choose to stay on theme for the Patreon releases, and release the occasional fantasy miniature through other channe...

And now for something completely different.

Being artistically minded can be a challenge. Its all too easy for me to go off on tangents and start chasing muses. Today that resulted in me accidently sculpting a skeleton, when I was supposed to be working on other models 🙄

Story goes that I needed a skeleton for detailing on some of the models I was working on. And I went a bit overboard and spent too long on it, so now I have a fully functioning poseable skeleton that I don´t quite know what to do with..

It would be real...

Wasteland base toppers and booby trap markers.

Its that time of the month again.

What time is it again?

Its time for a little something simple and ( hopefully) useful to enhanche your hobbying and games with.

I don´t know about you lot, but I have been very happy with the first two supportfree base topper sets I made. They´re very suitable for 3D printing, super quick and easy to print out a boxful of, and a fun and easy way to add a bit of decoration to your bases.

And they have been fairly popular on the shop, ...
