I'm not gonna lie, I have loads of WIPs on the go at the moment. I'm a slow worker at the best of times and far too easily distracted. I seem to jump from project to project and with the Creepy Mouth Monster sculpt out the way (and with the caster) I can now lose myself in that luxury of...

Hi guys, Do any of you have experience with Dark Age 80mm round bases? I need to buy some for a kit I am working on and had a couple of questions. The CMON (and also Dark Age) webstores say 2 bases in the title (and show two on the pic) but state 3 per pack in the description. Which is true...

I am currently seeking a UK based resin caster as my current man is way too busy to take on new work. I would consider both companies and "man in a shed" operations, but the right person would ideally have specific experience in casting of miniatures. Any suggestions / recommendations / takers?

Not quite a WIP (although WIP shots can be found on my Facebook page...) but what the hell. Here is my donation to Goblinaid: If you are not aware of the cause you can read more here: www.facebook.com/pages/Goblinaid/582169528462833

I'm really keen to create a Silent Hill mini diorama but have no experience in creating such scenic pieces. The idea I have is to create a cross section of a corridor, so base (floor), back wall and possibly ceiling (as I want to include features such as strip lights). It would be 28 or 32mm...

Just wanted to share a few Silent Hill sculpts I've been working on lately. All of which from Silent Hill2. The first is my second attempt at the Mannequin creature (40mm tall): I sculpted it over a day and painted it the next (if memory serves me correctly) and took 4 hours at a guess. The...

Fans of Trey Parker may eventually recognise this character. Armature: Joints etc added: Armature posed, right hand discarded: Fleshing out: Body work: Oh and he measures 28mm to the eyes.

Sculpting mouths daunts me so I decided to get some practice. Armature: Gums (and throat) sculpted and ready for teeth: Teeth and framework for lips: Better view of the mouth: I'm undecided as to whether this creature will have (separate) spiders legs (possibly wearing clown...

To help out a friend in need, may I introduce Geri: Twilight Giraffe! 10 sittings in and she's nearly finished! This project has been a lot of fun and I feel that I've learned a lot. Hopefully she'll be done by the end of the week. Comments welcome :-) No prizes for...

To fill the time waiting for Kingdom Death: Monster I hope to sculpt some survivor miniatures to game with. I'm hoping that (as I don't currently have any "gaming buddies") that this will encourage my gf, her sister and her bf to join the fun. If personalised survivors don't seal the deal then I...

This thread will document an illustration that I'm working on. I hope to include this piece of concept art as a print with casts of the accompanying miniature which I am sculpting. Original concept sketches: The WIP thread for the sculpt can be found here...

Whilst bed shopping last week my mind was elsewhere and I started brainstorming sculpting ideas. I liked the idea of creating some monstrous clowns and started with some sketches: Tonight I started a basic armature: I will probably use this as a practice sculpt (without the rider...)...

Every once in a while I hear about the Salute convention in the UK and it has caught my interest. As I can only find limited information regarding Salute 2013 I thought some of you might be able to help me out... What can I expect? Is it more for the wargamer or miniature enthusiast? Are you...

Currently this LED lamp is available from Ikea reduced from £10 to £5. At least it is in the Leeds branch. The LED is not replaceable but supposedly lasts a long time. They are available in white or black and the thing is pretty long and flexible. Although I've not used it for minis yet it seems...

This fun little project is intended as a gift for my friends 30th birthday *. May I present to you my attempt at sculpting the legendary Earthworm Jim, in miniature! * This will not be posted on the Mad Clown Facebook page til late October, so as to not ruin the surprise! * Reference...

For practice I've been sculpting a 1/54 scale male based on the Iron Mammoth figure scale template:

As part of the minisculpture.co.uk July-August 2012 Sculptalong I plan to sculpt a 28mm Spiderman. http://minisculpture.co.uk/index.php?topic=1071.0 Made some simple reference sketches today: ...and started a basic armature: The arms will be posed better once I've secured them to the...

Which scale miniatures do you prefer to collect?

Couldn't resist but buy a couple of Smog 1888 miniatures recently, which arrived in the post today. Little Alice: amazed by the level of detail but slightly disappointed at a couple of miscast areas (missing ribbons) and the rabbit ears which broke in transit. Jeremiah Crow: a great figure...
