Frank,
Very cool. I especially like the Colossal Hand. I keep wanting to do something like that. Maybe when I free up my schedule a bit, I'll once again be inspired by your creativity and give it a go.

Nice work.

Game ON!

Just chop the hand off an action fig and bam! The circle was a gatorade top's plastic ring{breaks off when you open the bottle]

I am painting up the homemade fig based on this sketch, photo's soon...hopefully

Few years ago I decided to make an earth elemental based on the one in the 3E MM.

I started with a stick figure of pipe cleaners glued to the base. Took hot glue and started adding small rocks. I didn’t like the results and placed it on a shelf.

A little over a year ago I picked the fig back up. After selecting a collection of rocks and rock like pieces I used a tube of superglue to adhere them to the pipecleaner / hotglue frame. The fumes were something awful.

There was something about the legs that I didn’t like, that there were legs. Giving up on the 3e illo, I used a thick whiteglue and sand mix to fill out the bottom half of the fig and then took sand and smaller rocks to cover some of the rest of the frame and texture it.

It was primed it black and painted as shown above. with gloss sealed it to protect it. It was brought to game, used once as a summon bound to a ring I found with my sorcerer Lathan, and taken home when that game went on hiatus :(

After seeing Peter Lee’s elemental project on the wotc board, I decided to photo mine. As it happed, it was the same time the game I was using it and Lathan in was starting back up, After I finished Lathan’s mini{another of the long time coming project], It got dusted off, got 2 coats of dull coat when the weather turned nice and taken over to my friend’s house who has a cheap digital camera.
