Hey everyone! Today I’m sharing something special! After years in the making she is finally ready. After the great success of the original bust version, Skylar is back! My friend Africa Mir did an incredible job with the sculpting, starting from the original bust released back then via my side project Kenshō Miniatures , she totally brought my vision of the character to life. The pose, the elegance, the balance, the beauty, the movement, I couldn’t be happier of how she turned out. Here is the full figure version, and will shortly post the new bust version as well as some first shots of the test prints.

Now, the figures will be a first exclusive for my upcoming class The Las Vegas Open next month , students will have the chance to choose between the bust or the full figure to work on and bring their vision to life: in both cases we will have a great canvas to work on different ideas, skin, materials, metallics, etc.

After LVO the figures will be released for purchase, 3D printed by myself to the quality you are all accustomed to, if you’d like more info feel free to DM me.

Thanks again Africa Mir for the incredible work!

As promised, some close-ups of ‘The Ride of the Valkyrie’ diorama I last posted. Next I will post the original 2D sketch Alberto Acquaviva drew as well some wips and final renders of the sculpt. What I enjoyed the most during the painting process was playing with the contrast of different finishes and rendering of the various characters, trying to keep everything cohesive and still readable. So, for instance, for obvious reasons I decided to keep the Valkyrie cleaner, brighter, almost celestial, and then I let my brushes looser on the zombies skin and armors, playing with textures and small details and various tones and nuances to make them similar but different. The stairs also were quite a challenge given the visual weight, with the idea of making them sort of ‘ethereal’ and keeping it interesting at the same time. And you? What’s your favorite part? Thanks for watching and for your support!

Finally posting some studio pics of the most ambitious and difficult project I have ever worked on: ‘The Ride of the Valkyrie’. This project originally goes back to right after montesansavinoshow 2023 when I first approached the most talented Alberto Acquaviva to collaborate on an idea for a piece. I wanted to create a powerful, dynamic scene, mixing Norse mythology and fantasy world: a Valkyrie coming down from the sky to the rescue of the fallen and hopeless viking soldiers, subjugated by undead enemies. After sharing some basic ideas and concepts with Alberto, he produced an original digital 2d sketch which immediately hit the mark of what I had originally in mind. This followed an intense period of 3Dsculpting for Alberto, going back and forth with reviews until the beginning of 2025, when the scene was finally ready for 3D Printing. We then decided to present the finished work at the World Model Expo 2025, so I got onto painting and let me tell what a rollercoaster it was. It has been very difficult to photograph the piece and try to capture the depth and complexity of it, so I will do more posts with close ups, the original sketch, and some WIPs photos of the entire process..so for now I will limit this post letting you enjoy the gallery. Having said that, here and now, I want to express my sincere thankfulness to Alberto for having worked so hard on this project, it has been an absolutely pleasure, to Verko's Vault- The Museum of Fantasy Miniatures for sponsoring this project and for believing in this collaboration from the start, we always felt the support and the freedom to realize our vision, and also to my friends Riccardo Agostini Francesco Franciuus Farabi Africa Mir for the precious feedbacks, point of views, and encouragement all along the way, your support always means a lot. Thank you!

Time for some close ups of this big guy! I particularly loved the amount of areas available to add textures and little details, almost overwhelming at times but I had a lot of fun. The parts I loved the most to work on were the wooden stand on his back and the severed heads and the transitions between the pale skin and the tentacles, also the hammer head I enjoyed a lot. the rusty/copper bits were quite a challenge for me for some reason, the balance between the oranges and the reds in the mid-tones of the NMM made me struggle a lot to be honest. And you? What is your favorite part?

If you missed my previous post this is a one-off fan art sculpted by George Isaias !

For today’s 3D Printing spotlight I’d like to share another 75mm scale multi-part kit:

Figure Title: Funrir
Sculptor:
Brand:
Scale: about 75mm
Scope of work: mass series production

My 2 cents: definitely a fun project to have worked on, lots of detailed parts, precise keys for assembly, the base took some trials to get right for mass production given the size and shape but I got it done.

Disclaimer: figures or relative files are not for sale, photos and posts are for showcase purposes only. Models shown are not commercial copies, they are usually the first test prints, so forgive me if you may see the odd defect here or there, assembled to check keys and overall quality of the kits before mass production.

A while ago I painted this small academic bust as an exercise for different skin variations. Model is Sa’Helar by I hope you like it!

weekend means weekend, and this is my non-GD entry 🤣. Jokes aside I painted this Khorne Bloodstoker as something small and different after last Monte San Savino, and I must say I enjoyed it very much and it encouraged me to paint more and small scale models in the near future. I hope you like it and good luck to everyone at GD!

Today’s 3D Printing spotlight:

Figure Title: The Kelpie
Sculptor:
Brand:
Scale: about 75mm
Scope of work: mass series production
My 2 cents: This model was a nice easy project to work on, modeled to be printed as one piece with only few supports as it mostly self-supports. The rock is actually hollow whereas the body is solid, a smart solution thought in collaboration with Leila. A close collaboration between the sculptor and production is always the key for a successful and quality product!

What a better weekend to share this bust I painted some time ago at the end of 2024…I surely do have a soft spot for Sisters of Battle, and when gifted me a copy of his incredible sculpt I couldn’t be happier! Thanks again Dani!!

Now, painting the red armor was definitely the biggest challenge for me on this project, and going back now I would probably approach the red nmm a bit differently to make it work properly, but hey, you always learn from your mistakes.

All in all I think this is one of the favorite figures I painted in my career, so I hope you like it as much as I do!

Today I’ll start sharing many of the figures I had the pleasure to work on over the last few years of professional 3D Printing in our industry, and will try to keep it up regularly.

I hope you’ll like this initiative which I had in mind for too long now!

Figure Title: The Orc Boar
Sculptor: .rahm
Brand: .rahm
Scale: about 75mm
Scope of work: mass series production, detail packaging and shipping. Turnkey project.
My 2 cents: This kit was fairly challenging due to the size and weight of the boar and the single attachment point, nothing that smart design and a brass rod supplied with the kit cannot resolve.
