Can't tell if you're being serious about the "awesomeness" BR...

Is this 28mm or 15mm?

If 28 that stuff is brutal.

I don't know whether to be shocked or impressed.

What if this is the Roger Corman of wargaming? A single kid out there somewhere with a dream who won't take no for an answer...

Scenery ain't bad, but the people hurt my eyes. I can sculpt better than this darn it.

I thought the same thing.

"This plan is so crazy, it just might work."

Am I missing somethign here, or are you just poking fun at someone trying to do something constructive, because their sculpting sucks?

Mr Mystery

No.

We're poking fun at the concept of trying to sell such sculpts.

As Jake the Dog says, sucking at something is the first step to being kinda good at something.... But I wouldn't try to sell the interim stuff.

NICE!

I can't believe it is funded...

The Duocorn doesn't look too bad, and the body of the Hailstone Dragon is a solid attempt too although the wings are attached way too far back. Given that the monsters show promise maybe the sculptor should focus on large somewhat unusual beasts for a bit to refine their skills.

Yes. Even pretending that the sculpting were top-notch, there is no way they can deliver what they promised, painted for $55 shipped.

Anyone else think this person is going to be sculpting each model, I would guess these painted examples are actually the masters...

Is this by the same guy(s) who "jumped the shark" earlier and got a post on the front page?

It looks eerily familiar...
