10005, Tolgh the lesser demon

 Tolgh the bellicose, Tolgh the vainglorious, Tolgh the lesser demon. This model was sculpted by Jim Johnson for Reaper Miniatures. It was part of The Court of Abyst boxed set, sku: 10005, now out of production. It is 41 mm tall and stand on a 25 mm base.

The wings come from a 02040, gargoyle sculpted by Bob Ridolfi, also made by Reaper. I also added flames to his scimitar and base to create a warm environment just for him. I painted it with Reaper MSP acrylic paint.

02172, Cerberus

 Reaper Miniatures 02172, Cerberus.
This Dark Heaven Legends model was sculpted by Sandra Garrity.

In Greek mythology, Cerberus, often referred to as the hound of Hades, is a multi-headed dog that guards the gates of the Underworld to prevent the dead from leaving. He was the offspring of the monsters Echidna and Typhon, and was usually described as having three heads, a serpent for a tail, and snakes protruding from multiple parts of his body. Cerberus is primarily known for his capture by Heracles, the last of Heracles' twelve labours.
 










I was inspired by Simon Eckert's artwork for the choice of colors.

Gothic church interior with wall frames

Here we are. These are pictures of the interior walls of my gothic church finally completed. I designed and added 3d printed wall frames around each picture I previously glued on the walls. I used Inventor, Blender and Chitubox software as well as an Elegoo Mars 2 pro printer to make these frames. The frames were printed in resin in 0.05mm thick layers.
 
 









Some pictures of the front wall.

77640, Graveyard Entryway

 Reaper Miniatures converted 77640, Graveyard Entryway sculpted by Bobby Jackson. I added a transparent membrane and successive coats of Mod Podge tinted with MSP HD 29802, Brilliant red paint to create a bloody portal.
 






Here, I illuminated the portal with a red LED to create this glowing effect.
 
 
This image illustrates the gateway before I added the portal.
 
 
And here, you can see work in progress of the ripples taking form as I apply successive layers of Mod Podge. In total, I applied eight coats on each side of the membrane.
