Wow do I love this guy. Otyugh's have always been as iconic to old school AD&D as beholders and ropers, at least to me. Just a great dungeon crawl monster. This model is by Otherworld and I enjoyed the heck out of it. I made the little pool of green slime with Woodland Scenics Realistic...

Okay, when submitting a photo, it appears the form allows you to vote on your own mini. Does anyone not vote 10? I was voting "honestly" at first, but recently I thought, "Hey, it's my mini, and I love my mini, it's a TEN (even if it's not)". I hope this doesn't make me a bad person.

My father has a rather "complete" garage, with all sorts of large gadgets. In a recent conversation with him, I'd talked about the time involved in restripping old miniatures so that they can be cleanly repainted. I love old Ral Partha and Grenadier miniatures with all of their AD&D cheese...

It appears that the voting bay is set up to present miniature entries in a linear order based upon time of submission. I think it would be neat to have a way that the user could view a random entry that they have not yet voted on. This would help to get older entries additional attention and...

This is my tenth miniature (not including the ones I ruined when I was 12) and my third submission, and I feel I've improved. I spent a lot of time with this guy. I made him a coconut shell base (ala Den of Imagination) and used plastic fork tines heated-and-stretched for icicles. This hobby...

This whole miniatures thing is arguably a bit of a mild mid-life crisis for me. Most men get sports cars and chase 20 year olds; I, on the other hand, have gotten silly about painting tiny monsters. Part of that is buying up 30 year old miniatures that I wanted when I was 12 but couldn't...

I found this awesome little video demonstrating shading done on a cape and it is a good example for a question of mine. Naively, I would think that, if you wish to create a slightly darker version of a color in order to shade its deeper areas, you would simple take that color and add a bit of...

Alright, this is perhaps my sixth miniature since I started this up. It's the first one that I think is "not terrible". I've been reading various threads/blogs and incorporating things as I learn them. I'm not entirely sure I posted this correctly - but hopefully this work...

Hello! I've completed my obligatory time of lurking, and now feel it is time to shamble forth and start asking questions. The information provided in these forums has been *great* so far. This is a new hobby for me (except for those miniatures I ruined when I was 12 (that was a long time...
