Using US currency in the US in this way most likely constitutes defacing and as far as I am aware is illegal

You need to 2.5D the problem. Make vertical horizontal. Then just lay the minis down... far less work

Those are great. I am using a slightly different process. I aim to make mine smaller, but I have to work through the problems first. It was the first time I had made a mini and the first time using the equipment, which was not to hard to grasp, but there is some subtlety to its use.
Some materials did not bond together at all, so I used a smidgen of hot glue. The skeleton is slightly posable too.
Next step human!
I assume you are using glue on wire MrBulow?

The wear pattern is fantastico. The purple is most likely picking up the red in the brown and blue from the flash...

Here is the first prototype of a skeleton. I am not happy with the sword, but I have a way of improving it. I wanted to do a skeleton first as they are the most difficult. The mini is larger than a standard mini, but small fine details are difficult at that scale. I intend to do more detailing on future minis - clothes, armour, weapons etc. I will try a few more soon. All my GW paints were nearly dry and had formed almost all skin (been about 10 years since I used them). I have to consider painting and what to use.\ The base is a standard size using a 3/8" washer (internal hole diameter).

As my tiles follow a standard sizing system, distance is easy for myself and players to judge, we dont even use measuring devices unless I am being picky or rules lawyer #2 gets stroppy

Use a fish tank and move minis with fishing line tied to them. Suddenly an idea with a wire coat hanger, fishing line and... calmly... calmly.

I have decided that I am going to do an experiment in making minis with found and cheap materials. - No casting
- No expensive materials
- No modeling pastes or clays
- Cheap materials and tools
- Easy for anyone to do
I will post the results here and on my Facebook page. I have never made minis before, but I am sure I can pull it off. If the experiment is successful I will create a new video series to show how it is done.
By minis I mean characters, skeletons, goblins, etc...
Comments and suggestions welcome

I suffer from depression. Fortunately I take medications that help with it. When I craft, or paint my miniatures it allows me to focus on something pleasurable. While I can't do it all the time, it helps a great deal. I'm trying to follow a friend of mine's advice: "paint one hour a day." I find I look forward to working on some projects that have gotten bogged down too. Because I'm a parent, I have to split my time between many things as most parents do. The wonderful thing is my kids are fascinated with whatever I'm working on! I think they have also found that MMORPGs also help cope with depression (but I may be wrong).

Okay, this thread got weird at the skipping part! I thought there was already a video on your roof tile technique? Maybe this one...

Try Sydney! It's notorious for being rediculously expensive. In the global housing slump prices went up...jeez.
You should craft a storage box aswell, with skulls and stuff to ward off normal people.
