I always thought I suck at sculpting... Maybe I have improved my skills or it's again 15mm scale that is way more forgiving mistakes. I desperately wanted an ogre for my Empire warband. After some research it became clear that there is none on the market and a conversion would be necessary. I realized that I picked up six of the excellent ogre miniatures from Alternative Armies. I sacrificed a Demonworld chap for the feather and looked through my 28mm bitz finding an old shield fitting size-wise. The rest had to be done with green stuff. I am more than pleased with the final result and will certainly do another one in the near future. An ogre rarely comes alone and I have to other poses left to convert.

15mm Blitz Bowl - Orcs!
Another Blitz Bowl team done. These are metal miniatures made by ZombieSmith. Not the most detailed sculpts, but they were fun to paint. Wha...
Fantastic work on the conversion!
AntwortenLöschen15mm scale is quite forgiving when sculpting as even if the sculpt is a bit rough around the edges, it almost always looks good when painted.
Love the Empire warband you've got too. I really need to paint up my Demonworld stuff.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate such high praise coming from a true master of sculpting. You made my day. :)
LöschenGreat work! I didn't recognise the original at all until I scrolled down. And superb paintwork too!
AntwortenLöschenThanks a lot, JC! :)
LöschenThat's pretty impressive! I really like the conversion. The hat is my personal favourite, looking so small, I think it's the icing on the cake, the piece that gives the mini its own charm. Seriously, it's all a great work :)
AntwortenLöschenI had a feeling that if you put an ogre in fancy clothes, he MUST be looking ridiculous. That's also why I decided against changing the lower part. It's a wild uncivilized ogre with a colourful vest and a tiny hat. ;)
LöschenVery impressive, that's one great conversion. I especially like the weapon, that took a big of imagination and looks totally ace.
AntwortenLöschenSculpting on 15mm is really not that hard and like Andy Chambers once said in an old White Dwarf: "Paint covers a lot of flaws". (Or at least something in that sense 😁).
Thank you very much, Wouter! Andy Chambers... such a wise man! :)
