I've been working on a short film project this year and part of that involved me designing and constructing miniatures to use in it.
I wrote a story that is a bit of a culmination of my favourite things; LOTR, 40k, mad max etc
One of my miniatures was built at 1:48 scale so its actually very usable for games of 40k. I thought i'd post some pics here so people can see what is possible when you spend insane amounts of time on models.
The race i made up that its built around is evil and very machine orientated. They build with what scrap they find or what they can make. Bit of an ork idea there, although i've made the model more life-like and realistic. Its based around New Zealand west coast mine structures. My story is a New Zealand story after all, just an alternate dimension.
Let me know what you think and if you want to know how i made it, i'm happy to give you my methods and tips.
