      Does anyone have any experience making miniatures? I'm looking to get started and there just seems to be an absolute overload of options for sculpting material: Sculpey, Milliput, Green Stuff, Scultamold... The list seemingly goes on and on. I've seen some great videos by Miscast or Bill Making Stuff, but they can be a little all over the place.

      Does anyone have any suggestions or point to any video/written tutorials on getting started?

      Thanks!

      It could be one quirky video that you feel deserves some eyeballs on it, or perhaps you've got a curated list of videos that you'd love to talk us through...

      Highlights

      The following highlights were aggregated from participants. Thank you to those of you who wrote in! I'm sharing these as written, though I did make some minor edits to maintain anonymity.

      • u/Wes made a great bingo site that works really well for this event.

      • It's touching that u/Wes took the time to respond to nearly everyone. He really made this feel like a community.

      • A special mention for @Wes, who seems to have read and thoughtfully replied to every single writeup this month, which was very kind (and I really liked their writeup of Praey for the Gods).

      • I love the evolution of the Bingo card over the past several events, and I really liked this form.

      • There were so many great entries that I enjoyed reading this time around, actually, and I really wanted to keep trying games that other people tried.

      • @SingedFrostLantern for their hole-in-one golf

      • The highlight for the whole event to me was @SingedFrostLantern's hole-in-one and the wonderful writeup that went with the game.

      • My favourite writeup had to be @SingedFrostLantern with their Keylocker Hole in One, a fun little exercise that put me onto a new game that (regrettably) went straight back into the backlog.

      • @JCPhoenix for creating full video reviews for many of his entries

      • @Eidolon's Neverwinter Nights for bringing the classics back

      • @kfwyre for Journey to the Savage Planet, and finally getting to be the dog

      • u/kfwyre completely missing the joke

      • @Evie, with basically every write-up she did. Dead Space, Prey, and Outer Wilds were all very good.

      • @CannibalisticApple with Lost in Blue, finally tackling the game cartridge lost somewhere in a closet

      • @J-Chiptunator with four unique console selections
