fellow player made great giant spiders (1.5 inch long) out of black pipe cleaners about 20 years ago, and we still use them over the other spider miniatures we have.
When using cardboard for bases, i like to use drywall compound to fill in the corigation and make the edges look smooth. It is cheap and easy and it adds some nice weight to the bases impriving stability.
Just kit-bashed my first little creation and mostly based on what I saw in this video. A cheap horse out of a pack of dollar store horses and a Tim Mee alien combined to make a Centaur. I added a polygon-shaped plastic bead to an item it was holding and...instant mace! I am not an expert painter but I applied your techniques and am quite happy with the results. Definitely good enough for the tabletop! I hope you start making vids again because you do great work and have inspired me to create things I didn't think I was capable of.
That's really impressive how you can "see" the D&D character in other toy figures. I just don't seem to have that "eye" the way you and some of the other converters do like DMG, DM Scotty, and DM Zook. As for your painting skills--fantastic! :D
Dollar stores, party stores, discount places like National Wholesale Liquidators. If the place has weird foods from around the world, it might have a toy section with left-over super-heroes.
They came out really nice. Maybe the Iron Golem could of used a bit more detail but all in all fantastic. You make it though I din't have the desire to even work on regular figs any more. No I feel I must get random figs and turn them into something unexpected and marvelous. I'm systematically going through all your vids now and throwing a like onto them. I think I need to get in touch with you have some ideas to really get you out there and gain a huge following, which you deserve.
I have to admit that I have watched every one and was more and more impressed with your talent of painting miniatures. I went to art school and still couldn't do that. I don't have the patients for it! Please do an Asian imported discount spider-man box-set in the future lol
Looks great man!
Thank you.
Great video, they look fantastic!!

Love the history behind the toys, Great Vlog thanks for sharing!

Dame Dude you have SERIOUS skills in finding cool cheap minis and others have called me a "master" at it LOL:)!
Hey!! You can do ALOT with pipecleaners!?!?
As someone who has fought pipe cleaners and tissue paper, I have to say "Imagination" can stretch a bit.
Where do you find them for cheap? I look on eBay, Amazon & Target on they're all 24.99 & up for a pack
They used to carry them at Five Below. That's where I got mine.

how do handful of heroes compare to heroclix or dnd minis?
+Ethan Hammonds They're 90% compatible.
Iron golem is perfect, thumbs up
The Iron Golem is the best. I'd buy a load of those guys if I was doing D and D on a budget
