It's time to talk about my second hobby. Even before I started creating card designs, I became very interested in making various miniatures from plasticine. Today, I would like to show you my latest work: Archangel Michael from "Heroes 6."
It took about a week to create this model. I have tried several times to create a high-quality miniature of this character (this was a few years ago). And on the third attempt, I managed to realize the original idea.
Some details of the original 3D model were deliberately omitted to avoid overloading the image.
The wings are the most complex part of the model. To avoid being weighed down by their weight, each of the 4 wings is made of two thin parts, to which smaller feathers are attached. This reduced their weight by about 1.5 times.
But even this was not enough to balance the model. Therefore, the sword was also slightly weighted.
Model dimensions:
Height (without base) - 6.3 cm (with base - 7.2 cm)
Width - 10.7 cm
For a rough idea of the size of the model, one of the tools (17 cm long) is placed next to it in the photo above.
In the photo, it may seem that the model has a slightly large head and some details. But this is a feature of the camera (in reality, everything looks a little different). For example: the knife hanging on the Archangel's belt is only 1 cm long.
The miniature itself was made based on two examples: the Archangel model from the game and its collectible sculpture, made in honor of the game's release (the slightly different color scheme was taken from the sculpture).
From the "Heroes of Might and Magic" series, I have almost no works. And this is the first successful miniature in terms of design from this game series. My other miniatures and dioramas are of a completely different nature and are not very related to "Heroes." More photos of this miniature can be found in the attachments to this topic. Enjoy!
