Took a bunch of pictures tonight, so sorry for the big image dumps. These are all from Nolzur's:

These are kit-bashed from Dollar Tree figures. I used two-part epoxy putty to fill out the earth elemental. The female fighter was formerly a tennis playing Barbie.

A dralasite or ooze made from the two part epoxy. I buy it at Harbor Freight or you can use JB Weld Steel stick from the big box places.

I'm really fond of this little guy. They are called "Alokin" in Field Guide 2 (if I'm remembering correctly)

Teaman, these are fantastic!!! With the drawings and now the sculptures you are a true artist!!!!

Are the dinos and mammoth WizKid sculpts too? The Alokin is great, I'm thinking of getting some modeling clay and making something, maybe kit bash some figures and make an Amalgam, maybe use the extra mummies that I have hanging around. You have me thinking again, this could be dangerous, for the party at least.

Thanks Al. The T-Rex was from Dollar Tree, though their selection of dinosaurs has been lousy lately. The triceratops was one we had around the house, and I've had the mammoth from childhood.

In terms of modeling clay, sculpey is okay, but I'd avoid the air dry stuff. Just doesn't hold up over time. Try the two-part epoxy. It comes in a stick and was about 5 bucks at Harbor Freight. Works just as well as the more expensive Green Stuff modeling putty.

Hope this helps and happy to talk shop anytime. I learned about the nail polish from you.

Dollar Tree is good fun, every once in a while they have their poop brown D&D dice which I enjoy :)
Dig the dinos T!

Thanks Ron! I don't understand why they can't make those dice in other colors as well. It's not like they don't have things in OTHER color plastic in their store.

Am I the only one who found Dollar Tree D&D dice in red, green, yellow, blue, and purple? Granted that was once and only once, though.
