[QUOTE="Tewligan, post: 529522, member: 2191"] There's a Yahoo group for mini sculptors, Kip. There are a fair number of industry pros in there, and from what I've seen they're really helpful in there. I can't remember the name of it - haven't been in there for quite a while - but it should be easy to search out. The green stuff is called Kneadatite. You can buy it through Games Workshop (at GW prices...), or get it from one of many online locations. Reaper Miniatures makes armatures that you can build your mini on, which you can see in Drak's White Lotus pic, or you can build your own armatures out of wire if you're a sucker for punishment. The figs you buy at the FLGS are cast from masters made of - yep - Kneadatite on an armature. Actually, I'm bouncing the idea around in my head of possibly trying to shop some stuff around to some smaller mini companies once I think I've reached a reasonable skill level. I've been pleasantly surprised at the jump in quality between my last mini and the one I'm almost finished with currently. If I ever get marketable, the ENWorld Miniatures forum will hear it first! Anyway, hope this gets you pointed in the right direction. If you get something sculpted up, be sure to get a picture up for us to see.
