Monster Tutorial – The Chimera
Alright, I’ve had this one in the works for the past 5 months. It’s time to write out the damned tutorial and post it. Especially since this is my Craft War entry for April.
My Chimeras are made from 2 Gazelles and 2 Lions from a $3 Jungle Animals pack I got from Walmart, and 2 Velociraptors from a Dinosaur bucket (also from Walmart).
I started by cutting the heads off of the Gazelles and the Raptors, and trimming down the horns of the gazelles. Continue reading

Grim’s Modelling Tips: Fake Grass Freebies!
Here’s another post from The Grinning Skull on the topic of Free Stuff!
So, I have found something out completely by accident that is excellent for us scratch builders & wargamers, yet the best thing is, it wont cost you a penny!
A while ago, my missus and I were talking about turfing a few patches of bare earth in our garden and discussing options. Rather than shelling out for real grass turf, we thought we’d explore the artificial astroturf route, being that our kids are kinda destructive at the best of times and that real grass would take a real beating with their antics. I decided to get some prices & info about it, and discovered that most suppliers of the stuff, actually are willing to send out small samples of the various grades and styles of it.
This lead me on to thinking, just maybe this stuff might be useful as a potential free modelling material. Soon enough I was using…
