Happy Halloween!

(Video by my son)

The King in Yellow - in Fimo!

 Quite possibly my son's most horrifying effort yet!

Scratch-built Hounds of Tindalos

 My son has been busy with the Fimo and tinfoil again. You can see how he made these beasties here:

Scratch-built bulette

 

Here's the latest beastie from my son - a reimagining of the D&D bulette or landshark. And here's how he did it:

Scratch-built Beholder!

This is my son's latest. You can see how he designed and created it here:

Scratch-built Nyarlathotep!

 Not my work, but my son's:

Mordeim ruin WIP

 Some progress on a taller Mordheim ruin - boarded-up windows to be added to the first floor, along with roof tiles. 

Mordheim ruins

 

These are some quick Mordheim ruins built from cardboard (ordinary box cardboard glued together for double thickness) with coffee stirrer planking. I covered the corrugations using wood filler. I took the templates from the marvellous Devs & Dice YouTube channel. 

The Carol of Cthulhu!

 

This is the latest from my son - Fimo and tinfoil as usual, and handily based as any number of flying Titans in Kings of War. This is how he did it ....

Have a great Christmas!

A tribute to Bill Making Stuff

 If you don't know the Bill Making Stuff channel, you're missing out - it's a terrific mix of whimsy and creativity. And it's brimming with great ideas for gaming projects: imagine Rick Priestley's deodorant hover tank as Studio Ghibli would have done it.

It's also by far my son's favourite YouTube channel. He recently made this short and cheeky tribute:

Stranger Things!

 

My son has been busy over the school holidays building various beasties from Stranger Things.

The demogorgon and demodogs are based with Hordes of the Thing frontages so they can feature in that game as behemoths or gods. But they'll doubtless see plenty of action in our sci-fi games

You can see how these fiends were made here:

Things from The Thing

My son has made some of the things from The Thing. They'll be handy in sci-fi skirmish games, and the big one will also work as a chaos god in Hordes of the Things (appropriately enough ...).

Khonshu!

 My son's take on the Egyptian god Khonshu, from Disney's Moon Knight. He's made from tin foil and Fimo and based as a god for Hordes of the Things.

Here's how he (my son, not the skull-faced deity) did it:

My son's scratch-built Slaughterspine

 My son made this beastie out of an old toy dinosaur and lots and lots of bits of cardboard. 

He's put up a video about it here:

More of my son's creations

My son made these two big beasties recently.

He scratch-built the sand monster from tinfoil and Fimo.

The robot was constructed from wire, beads and a pencil sharpener. Here, he was inspired by the amazing Bill Making Stuff YouTube channel - one of the inspirations for his own RustMonster channel.

The robot's 'mouthparts' were inspired by the helipcoprion.
