Raphael
Snapped a shot of Raphael from my homebrew TMNT United set—this one’s got a bit more attitude. I pushed myself again on the base work, sculpting a grungy sewer scene and dropping in a couple of empty beer bottles and a lone red Solo cup for that classic “Raph’s been brooding here” vibe.
My sewer bases were heavily inspired by the awesome tutorial from @mugsofdoomminis on YouTube—highly recommend checking it out. Big thanks to @polymorph_miniatures for the awesome 3D print—perfect for bringing my favorite hothead to life! 🐢🔥
Painted with plenty of Vallejo diorama water effects for the slick underground look and my usual @vallejocolors palette to punch up that red bandana.

The full guide
- Basing as composition, not decoration →A good base supports the pose, tells a bit of the story, and points the eye at the face. Then it gets out of the way.
