OK, here go nothing. My first mini's ever, made from Dollar Tree bug packs. I had a little fun with the coloration of these critters, so please feel free to comment as you see fit.

Before:

And After:

These I put on bases of bark chunks:

I hope you like these.

They look good! Love the frogs and the stripy snake. Bravo!

True. I just didn't feel I was ready for such a big step, yet. Perhaps with the next batch. If we're having a lightening storm, that is. Muahahahahahaha! What's that, Egor? Oh, yes, good Egor. Remember I want the brain that says 'Normal' on the label.

Brilliant on the bases! Incredibly nice touch -- really sets them apart from the usual dungeon fair. Super job on the painting, as well. Thank you for the inspiration! Cheers!

Laughter is the ultimate expression of joy. Laughing at the antics of a 2-year-old child is not demeaning or degrading, it is your heart boiling over with joy, and laughter is the path of least resistance for it to escape! Let it out, laugh easy, laugh loudly, laugh as often as you can. Keeping it bottled up inside is a leading cause of stroke among uptight people around the Globe... Laughter is contagious -- let's start a new pandemic!

Nice job. I have some packs of those same bugs. I did use the centipede and fly out of that pack but wasn't sure about the grasshopper and praying mantis. They look great so I guess I will get to work on them. With the centipede you can try melting a paperclip into it and molding it into shape. It was a real pain but it came out decent in the end.

I wouldn't mind hearing a bit more about how you did that...
