Modelling Projects |
These are guides to reproduce modelling projects that I have undertaken in the past. The techniques can of course be applied to other projects. Materials A look at the materials I use for modelling. Both for scratchbuilding and converting. Tools. The tools I work with. Methods. How I go about scratchbuilding and converting models. The Projects. These are pdf files for download. How to build a version of the fictional book made famous in the writings of H.P.Lovecraft A simple armoured vehicle model. Converting an ork warbuggy from a trukk kit. Using only parts found in the ork trukk kit, how to create a war buggy that matches the look and feel of the current ork models. The core of a model tank for use with generic 25/28mm scale wargames figures. The core tank needs only a single sheet of 1mm thick plasticard to make. Scratchbuilt Infantry Fighting Vehicle A project in the same style as the scratchbuilt MBT. This allows you make a 25/28mm scale IFV or APC from a single sheet of plasticard. 28mm Scale Starfleet Miniatures Given the lack of widely available Star Trek Starfleet wargaming figures, this document gives isntructions on building figures yoruself. This covers the era of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn to Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.

Some of the single use plastic packaging used by Games Workshop is very useful for creating Warhammer 40,000 terrain. Needing few, or no, components other than the packaging these can be very good projects for beginners. A Guide to Making the Corporal Casrich Helmet How to make the most obscure of the helmets worn by rebel soldiers in 'Rogue One'. Scratchbuilt Off World Explorer Vehicle A generic 25/28mm scale wheeled vehicle suitable for use in science fiction wargames and RPGs. In the same way as the previous MBT and IFV projects, these instructions explain how to make the basic core that can then be customised to meet your needs. To accompany the Star Trek figures in the earlier project, this contains instructions to build a movie era shuttlecraft from plasticard to the same scale. EVA Foam Modular Wargame Board Instructions on how to make a modular wargame board from interlocking EVA foam floor tiles. A Guide To Making Wargames Buildings From Plastic Containers Many types of plastic storage containers can be used as the basis for buildings in tabletop wargames. This provides several examples of how different stypes of containers may be used. A Guide to Modelling Extra Armour This document offers advice and some sample templates for adding additional armour protection to model tanks. The core of a scratch built mech to accompany the other 25/28mm scale scratch built vehicles presented here. Star Wars Legion Secret Terrain It is not just Games Workshop that uses plastic packaging that can be turned into wargame terrain, many of the models sold for the game Star Wars Legion come with some very useful packaging as well. The original Warhammer 40k Ork battlewagon kit was discontinued many years ago. These instructions show how to construct a vehicle based on this original design. |
