Love the chickens! We have 6 currently, no eggs yet... Expect the egg laying to take a bit to kick in… We love the feathered dinosaurs, great fun… plus we get eggs

Grenadier Wizard's Room Boxed set 2009. Yes, there was a bookcase and a resting giant lizard, also. I think that resting lizard may be the only miniature my son actually painted. He liked collecting miniatures, but not painting them.

Yeah I will have to hunt around for the other bits… just did a paint removal test to see if alcohol or finger nail remover could take paint off the ring, did get a bit up… not much, but a bit, I am going to experiment on the ring to see how much paint we can gently get off it. I have other figures I want to strip back some paint off of as part of the repair job I am doing on old figurines. Hubbies Death Dragon arrived and it is in gorgeous pristine shape to build and paint… he is happy with my surprise, it even has the wizard.

Try Simple Green cleaning solution, available at grocery stores and DIY stores. Soak the mini's in it, full strength, for 48 hours, then scrub with an old toothbrush. It will remove 90%+ of the paint, without damaging the mini. Works on metal, resin, and plastic, without harm. Cheers!

These showed up 9 old school halflings. They will need some TLC but I look forward to working on them.

Very Indiana Jones'ish! Very cool! Cheers! Yes, going for the classic Pulp fiction vibe… though the etching on the gold is inspired by the set art from Stargate with the weird Art Deco curves mixed in with Egyptian… I like the alienish feel.

I think something like this will work for a base, I like the idea of steps up to it…

I glued the arch down and created the stone look on the foal with the end of my paint brush, I’ve started adding moss, I need to add rubble, broken statuary and paint to steps… I think when this is done it will make a nice terrain piece when done…. My Evil Temple set grows.

I am declaring the Evil Rainbow Arch of Doom done… at least for now. I put a couple old lead Skelton dudes on it and a modern figure for scale… yes I need to paint the figures too. I think this will work nice.y for the entrance to the Evil Palace/Temple of the Undead.

The skull is coming along… 1 paper plate, bunch of old foam geometric pieces (the school threw out), and old junk skull… I love creating coolness from trash. Failed 3D print mini I decapitated, he is getting a pumpkin head from the pumpkins I cut off a no longer working broken Halloween light up necklace… I will sculpt fire hands for him… that should be some undead headless warrior coolness! The rest of the pumpkins will get turned into monster pumpkins or used to create some harvest displays for the village I am working on…. After all it needs seasonal decorations.
