I obviously fall into the
hobbyist, gamer, and collector category when it comes to miniatures,
but there was a time that I also meticulously painted lead miniatures
made by long-forgotten companies like Grenadier models. I still have
over a hundred of those miniatures, some primed but never painted,
others stored in the boxes they came in--boxes adorned with exciting
fantasy or sci-fi scenes that are works of art I could never throw
away. I've fit into all the categories of a miniature enthusiast that
I can think of, but I never dreamed that I'd fit into the category I
now find myself in: creator! Don't get me wrong, though, I'm not the
artist who sculpted the new Solar Echoes miniatures--that honor
belongs to 3D-Sculpting artist Jeremy Gosser at Time Portal Games.
But I've been involved in the development, and being part of the
artistic design process has been an incredible experience as a
miniature enthusiast! Check out the newly
finished Reln available at Shapeways. The Reln is a playable alien
character in Solar Echoes that is a master con-artist, and we've
affectionately named this miniature “The Harmless Reln.”
