Evil Eye Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 As you've probably guessed, I am a massive fan of my Carcinogenic Custard Creation Contraption (that's my resin printer, for those wondering), and one thing I've found very fulfilling recently has been modifying, resculpting and splicing together existing STLs into new models. Blender makes this surprisingly easy I've found, and you can actually make some quite impressive things, especially by rescaling parts. So I ask, has anyone else been doing this? And if so, anything you've made you're quite fond of? Any tips for fellow digibashers? I'll start the ball rolling with these. In order of complexity, first off were these slight resculpts of some Tallarn scans into traitors- Imperial signs removed and some nasty mutations added! Joe "Crusty" Aksen Sten "Papercuts" McKee Ricky "Can't See Gak" Hasten And Pedrus "Half-Baked" O'Reilly. Next was a more complicated kitbash which required some boolean "trimming" of parts- a spooky space sorcerer! Based on a scan of The Tainted (the Nazgul) with an old Chaos Champion sword and some Plague Monk parts. And finally, the most involved (also my favourites) some weird little...freaks of some form made from Night Goblins and shrunk Scout shotguns. Parts were heavily resculpted, and the masks and radial-engine backpacks were designed from scratch by yours truly. Anyway! Over to you guys!

Magos Takatus Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I haven't considered doing this, mainly because my attempts to tame Blender have been... excruciating. I'm trying to make a new, more compact exhaust for my airbrush spray booth, and it's fighting me tooth and nail every step of the way. At this rate it would take me a decade to be able to do any kitbashes like these.

I will highly recommend Artisans of Vaul on YouTube for tutorials and advice.

Magos Takatus Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Oh, I didn't know they did tutorials as well? That's the person that's made conversion kits for 40k models, right?
