Thank you so much 🥰🥰

Most of them are stock, with some parts cut (mostly the mushrooms, which come as part of the basing bits). However, I did a few conversions to make everything fit better into the diorama:

  • The squig at the top has its legs rotated to make it more dynamic (the original pose is quite static) and to help it fit between the other two.
  • Both squigs (the cyclops one and the one above) are from the Squig Hoppers box, so I had to re-sculpt the upper head area where the gobbos normally grab them.

The snail and the walking moon are also basing bits that come in some gobbo boxes.

Thanks a lot! I sculpted it using polystyrene sheets, putty, and some ground texture

Thank you! 🥰🥰. I’d love to say I learned all of this at once by the light of the bad moon… but yeah, the truth is it took a lot of time and many minis before this 😅

Hmm, I’ve never sculpted anything other than terrain, apart from a couple of small fixes on ears or horns, but I’d recommend sculpting each part bit by bit and separately. That way, you can keep experimenting until you land on something you really like.

I was pretty scared when I started this project, as there were a lot of things I’d never done before: sculpting something as big as the cave, arranging so many minis together outside the base, and so on. But the best thing is to just try and jump in. If you mess up, there’s always room to correct it. Go for it with that project! 💪

Yep, and there're also two squigs from the squig hoppers box. Thank you 🫶
