ok , i dont have any pics , but i used to have some stained glass golums to use when i played D&D minis (i had the book with the rules to convert D&D RPG stats to the minis game) . i made them using shrinkydinks and sharpie markers . i dont have them anymore because i sold them a long while back when doing some spring cleaning of my games i dont play anymore .
the first step was to draw out a figure on the shrinkydinks sheet , very blocky , about 3-4 inches tall . some of them were your standard knights , angels , demons , etc ...... , or i had a really neat one that was a serpent . i added in lots of cells to make it look like it had lots of glass paynes , and had some paynes here and there beyond just the figures . do this with a BLACK FINE POINT sharpie , so the lines stay nice and thin .
next use various colored sharpie markers to color in the figure .
next cut it out . at this point i quickly and lightly ran a black sharpie along the outer edge to make sure it still had its black boarder incase any got cut off .
then just heat as instructed . you do have to pay attention to them incase they start curling durring heating or cooling , you want them to be very flatish , though you can twist an arm or leg if you are careful ( they are hot) to make it look like its gonna attack or is walking . thatwas what i liked about the snake one , it twisted into a neat shape making it looke more animated .
i also made some extra "cells" to look like some of the glass paynes broke off and were on the ground .
also makes a good broken stained glass window bits for terrain .

Whoa....I haven't thought about shrinkydinks in a long long time. I didn't realize they were still around. That is a brilliant idea! Very clever.
