Hi,
I was looking at your Stormraven and I'd like to know how to start this kind of modelling/sculpturism? What are the names of the materials, cut techiniques, how to mold them, etc...

Sure thing Chimas!
The plastic styrene sheet is 0.5 X 2.5mm, and is usually purchasable at a hobby shop that sells trains. Β It comes 10 strips to a pack, for about 4 bucks. Β I used 6 of the 10 strips so far between both sides of the stormraven. Β
I used a small ruler to measure as best as I can, and then used a sharpie permanent marker to mark where I needed to cut. Β After that, I glued the strip to the plastic, and cut off any excess once the glue dried.
The green stuff on the model where the aquilas used to be is liquid greenstuff from Games Workshop which I used to fill in gaps/scars made by cutting off the aquilas. Β I then sanded it down once dry using extremely fine sandpaper- I don't remember the brand name off hand, but the sand paper I use has a cloth-like back and rips like fabric, so you can tear it down to whatever sized sanding block you need; it costs about 1.80 a sheet, and is purchasable at most hardware stores. Β
Please let me know if you need any more information, and keep a lookout for future updates! Β Have a nice day!

Great stuff, I'll keep watching.
Hey, I've found what I was looking for: 3D printers
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha, yeah 3d printers are pretty nice- I can't wait until they are commercially affordable. Β Maybe then I would take CAD software courses and learn how to 3d sculpt custom parts for warhammer and print them out for my army rather than have to convert/sculpt it all by hand!

Well, I have good news, in case of starships. I use Milkshape 3D which produces an OBJ file format that can be converted, but the program itself is pretty simple. If you have a ship as target style, you can go on editing a new ship until it satisfies your needs (Check the Gaudr gallery). If you sum these hours spent on modelling it will be less than 24h. Make 12 sessions of 2h and you'll get it. Since it doesn't involve texturing, it's easy. I advise to be ready for CG modelling because the printing services will be or are affordable. Another tip I have for you is a "secret": many skilled people are not imaginative, persuade them to do things for you, because they won't do anything for them anyway ahahhaahah

Hey, I wanna tell you something! I just found out about it recently and I've been dying to tell someone! It has to do with Hellsing.
Okay, here it goes: Alucard is a girl!
...Well, not really...But he can transform himself into a girl.
Apparently, back when Walter was young (during WWII) Alucard's prefered form was that of a very pretty young girl with bangs, long straight black hair, white clothes, a pillbox hat, and a tommy gun! Thus, the recent upcroppings of (young) WalterxAlucard (or as he's called in his female form, Girlycard) pairings.
And, yes, this is cannon. The creator of the manga wrote a short manga/side story on it. It's called "Dawn". I don't know if it'll be published in later vol. of Hellsing, but it exists!
Finally, I got that off my chest. *sigh* Ja ne for now!
