sprueguy Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) Here are a few WIP of a Marine I'm working on. The figure is 1/16th and made entirely out of sprue. I wish my photography skills where better. They look better finished Edited May 4, 2018 by sprueguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Am I to understand that the 1776 Marine has been sculpted/carved/molded/scratchbuilt from sprue by yourself? And what of the WWII Marine pic posted also? They're both implressive looking as is. GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprueguy Posted May 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Thanks Gil: yes sir both figures are made from sprue. The basics are: take a small portion of sprue on the end of a wood burner and build up the plastic. For repetitive piece guns, canteen, ect, I'll make a master out of sprue, then make silicone mold and heat plastic with a toaster oven,then push the soften plastic to fill the mold, (Kind of a poor man's injection molding). The WW2 figure was added to show they do look better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
