"Warzone Ape Warriors" Topic

Check out these Ape conversions I am working on:

link

The photo folder includes sculpted "face plates" attached to Warzone figures (I still need to add hair to the rest of the heads), and a full bare head, a full helmeted head and a few "face plates" I have sculpted to experiment.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks.

PS. Don't worry, I will add arms to the figures.

Damn dirty apes! (Sweet!)

Very keen indeed.

CC, those look great!! Please don't take this the wrong way, but I had no idea you were so talented!! Great sculpting jobs. I am not at all familiar with the "Warzone" figures, but I think these are going to look outstanding when you are done. Any chance of selling casts of your new heads, such that others could also make such cool Ape warriors by adding them to the Warzone (or maybe to other?) miniatures themselves??? Again simply terrific work…

Great! Now I want to buy another set of the warzone plastics for ape conversions. Damn you CC, damn you!

The apes look great CC! Can't wait to see them finished and painted!

Looking good! I'll be looking forward to seeing the final product when you're done.

Those look excellent, CC! Great work!

"Please don't take this the wrong way, but I had no idea you were so talented!!"

LOL. I had sculpted before, but using much inferior materials, such as Sculpey. However, thanks to you guys, I found out about epoxy putties and these are my first attempts with that material.

Thanks.

CC

This hut was one of the things I was able to sculpt with Sculpey:

If I had used Greenstuff or other good epoxy putty, I am sure it would have turned out much better.

CC

Excellent job!

Great Stuff!!!!!

BTW, those are some very nice ape heads. you should make a mold of a sprue of them. I think there's a market for them.

Thanks for the encouragement. As for moulds and metal sprue casting, I know nothing about that process or even where to begin.

I should have all the greens completed this month and, at that point, I will probably be asking where to take it from there.

Thanks again.

CC

Nice to see some pics of your projects. I like the spider-robots too.

Thanks. Those spider robots cost less than 20 cents to make too. I have even included a photo of the materials I used, in case others wanted to try that easy project.

CC
PS. As soon as I get to a stopping point, I will add an album with photos of LOTR terrain projects too.

Fazntatic stuff CC, what people dont realise it CC is a true gent and he has sent me a few of his works which are great

Good job, CC.

CC, after all the work involved to sculpt the original heads, it would seem a shame *not* to make a mould of them first (before you paint them/use them yourself). Then you can always decide what (if anything) you will do with the mould of heads later (sell them, make more for yourself, etc.). It would even lead to more sales of "Warzone" products, as customers buy their figures just so they can add your ape-heads to them. It's a win-win!!

Ok. IF I were to make 6 heads for a sprue, how many should I make with bare heads, how many with helmets? Or should I make enough for a 6-head sprue of each?

Or, should I make enough head sculpts (10) for a full squad of figures?

CC

Ok, guys.

Here it is . . . my first one with hair added:

Please, let me know what you think.

CC getting the ohoh failure coming up, perhaps there is a time lag? for when pictures load.

I would if selling them myself mix and match in a 10-12 pack then you guarantee selling them in equal amounts

Lowtardog,

How about now? Can you open the folder?

Thanks.

CC

Yes CC there must be a lag while Yahoo up loads, bit like e-bay sometimes has

Those are absolutely fantastic, very very good. You have me wondering what minis I can chop the heads off now :0)

Great stuff CC – please mold them, I'd buy some heads just to convert other figures.

I'll make the originals, but I have no idea how to make appropriate molds though (much less cast them in detail).

CC

Can anyone help CC out with casting these perhaps? suggestions, prices anything?

I should have more helmet variants for you guys to look at in the next couple of weeks.

CC

What figures are those 'Warzones'?

CC asked:

"Or, should I make enough head sculpts (10) for a full squad of figures?"

I would like to see 'em in 10s, mainly because I use GASLIGHT for my VSF & have always liked decimal unit organisation for my SF.

CC – you have a PM regards molding :-)

CC Talk to Lon at Brigade Games, he might be interested. Whatever happens keep us posted as to how we might get some of those heads. I have both Warzone and Void plastics that I could use. :)

Thanks!!!

Let me make a few more this weekend (and post photos, of course) and see how they look. I promise not to paint the figures until moulds are made.

CC

Wow, that Greenstuff rocks!!! I had to order another batch for all the thinks I may now be able to make.

CC

Ok. All the materials are in. I will try to complete a handful this week and post photos.

CC

Yes, do post pics. Thanks.

I am not entirely happy with the helmets I started.

Any suggestions on what the helmetted heads should look like?

I would welcome some feedback and example links on this. Thanks.

CC

I just posted this last question on a new thread:

TMP link

CC

One of these days, I will finish what I started.

For now, the photos are here:

I am currently working on half a dozen more. I am trying to add more character and individuality to that new set.

I should have photos of them by Monday or so. I've actually made quite a few other things but had no camera with me on this trip.

So, keep checking my photos for the new ones next week:

@I'll make the originals, but I have no idea how to make appropriate molds though

you may want to have a look at this file, it should explain everything you need.

the file is 3.6 mb

sorry, i canīt get the html right…

p.s. oh, if you submit it changes sets the tags, but not on the preview..

"Make my day, Human!"

Here are a few shots of a second-generation head (proper skull and facial structure, but still oversized).

I have already started on a new set of heads that are more proportional.

However, I thought you would like to see what an Ape head on a Warzone figures could look like.

CC

Could these Cadian Shock Troopers provide additional bodies for Ape conversions?

Maybe for a Gorilla (Warzone) vs Chimp (Cadian) battle (a sort of "Battle of the Simians")?
