One post per entry please.

Well, since my project is as done as my skills can make it, and working on the same thing for too long makes my brain do... crazy things... here is my entry!


Here we see him. The local ogre, Okrung, a friendly and well-loved creature, was buried with honor in the local cemetary after defending the village from an attack by a wicked necromancer's minions on Samhain. His life taken, the necromancer saw a chance to create a new servant. Here we see his footprints leaving magical residue from his recent awakening. His grave blasted apart form his violent upheaval.


Here we see the damage to the cemetery fence from the boulder launched by Okrung's arising from the grave. The fence is destroyed and make of the pieces are wrapping the boulder.


Here is the point from which Olrung emerged from the ground. His tombstone left dangling part-way into the grave itself. Coated in wicked, necromantic energies, the ground is dying and seared.


Here is Okrung's powerful backside. His flesh tainted with death and magic, his club and leather gear coated in ash and dust from the evening's happenings, We can also see the nearby stump with an angry looking grey owl, staring Okrung's desecrated corpse down.


Here we see how Okrung has stuck a human skull from a nearby grave onto his club. His obsession with death is now solidified.


And here is the full scene. The left of Okrung shows us the broken pillar splayed across the ground. Passed the boulder, we see the remaining, standing pillar of the fence with a chunk stuck to it's stone still. Also, we can see the horrendous glow emanating from Okrung's vicious form.

So, just as a point of disclosure, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to explain what I did, so I'll just err on the side of caution.

The stump, owl, fence, pillars, and tombstone were all sculpted by me using air dry clay and an x-acto knife. The base itself is a broken concrete stepping stone. The boulder is a rock I coated in air dry clay and pressed a textured stone into it. I also painted the stepping stone itself. The dirt is made of cinnamon, real dirt, jamaican jerk spice rub, and paint. The grass is dried dill (for the dead grass) and freeze-dried dill for the more living looking grass.

So there you have it. My first ever mini contest entry! It was an absolute blast to make (and it was a two-fer since I made this guy as my group WIP project too!) I'm hoping in a few months, I'll improve to the point of actually being a real contender

Treating the threat

It's Halloween tonight! Foul creatures roam the graveyard. Their sharp teeth makes no doubt these undead creatures are more than zombies. These feral Ghouls and Ghast are attracted by the stench of death and the smell of decaying flesh. Along the birch trees, they’re looking for carrions and bones to chew on.

Fortunately for the quiet Eastwell hamlet neighbors, Boris brothers came to treat the threat.

Here is the modular diorama I’ve prepared for the Halloween contest. All models can be moved to create different battle scenes. The monsters are 02282 Ghoul Warrior by Bob Ridolfi & 02941 Ghouls and Ghast by Ben Siens. The heroes are 02386 Boris Mingla sculpted by Werner Klocke & 02938 Boris the Evil Fighter by Bobby Jackson converted with a 02899b Death knight shield. I modified his sword to make him hold it upwards and added hair on their bald heads. The tombstone are 03122d & 03274b.

I hope you'll enjoy it, happy Halloween!

Legend speaks of a druid who used to live north of the small town of Steelhaven. Renowned for his pumpkin patch, the druid lived a solitary existence except for the occasional visitor who braved the journey to acquire one of his pumpkins. His passing went unknown by the community below.

Every few years, a group of teenagers adventurously decides to go in search of one of the wild pumpkins. If one of those teenagers happens to survive the encounter and the journey back home, they speak of a haunting scarecrow near a Hangman's Tree and a massive guardian with a fist of flame.

**I painted my scene to be more muted so as to mimic a moonlit/night time scene, but I can't seem to get the lighting to assist in that endeavor and feel the lighting is too bright.

That is awesome how everybody can create a diarama just with reaper mini's. It goes to show how diverse the line is. I really enjoyed the two entries so much I may decide to post one as well.

Here are my entries, this was a fun one to work on and paint. Definitely not as much conversion work as some people have put in, but creepy and scary nonetheless!

It's not Halloween without a zombie movie. In this scene our intrepid hero faces yet another onslaught with his trusty chainsaw. But, wait! The plucky heroine has followed him into the woods, and brought her favorite pair of .45s....

This season has been very busy... I started a project for my aquarium, put together a hand made costume for halloween, and painted something for this contest. I think I will sleep through the weekend...

This year I wanted something that was cute and fun instead of scary or evil.
To be reminiscent of fall I used a section of a fallen tree branch from the yard.
Always good material for me because we have so many...
I sculpted a miniature tree stump with sculpey and baked it.

02870: Familiar Pack VI and the "Evil" Jack in the Box from 02887: Evil Toys set. make up the main figures.
I hope the way I've painted Jack makes him seem fun instead of malevolent!
I went with bright happy colors like Bob Ross and his happy little trees.

Without further nattering here is my entry.

I call it "Pumpkin carving contest."
