Hi All, Over the past year or so I have been sculpting, moulding and casting some Dungeon Critters. Now with the spiders finished I wanted to share them with you guys. They are about 25mm scale and made from white metal. Some were pigs to cast and some easy. The scorpion with 8 legs, a tail and pincers was the hardest,I think, as it needed an insane number of vents. They were moulded with RTV silicone and then drop-cast.Here is a photo and there are more on the blog.

Hi Kropotkin, great work!
Are your minis available to buy? I tried your link but it appears to be broken. |

Those are really great: Add my name to the list if you do fancy putting some up for sale or trade, I would take a few of the Borer Beetle, the Stirge type flyer and the Slug. |

Thank you gents for your kind feedback. The idea that others might want some of these is great.At the moment I have a few of each cast already. I have to say that these are very much amateur attempts at casting and sometimes a cast can be great and the next time an utter disaster. So I am unsure as to putting them up for sale as I cannot guarantee quality. I think that one of the reasons is that I am not using the "best" modern metals which I have found dramatically increases the quality of the cast. I would, of course, send people "good" casts. In a nutshell, if you guys do want some of these then please e-mail me at bengrim at btinternet dot com Thanks for the positives guys. |
