“I shall call him...Mini Me.”

Finally got to finishing up my 28mm avatar last night! He’s a slightly converted Deputy Wayne Tisdale figure from Reaper Miniatures’ Bones collection. I cut off the holster, though, as I’m a “fun ranger” and not a “gun ranger.” ⁣

I was a little disappointed with the lack of definition on some parts of the figure (namely the face), but overall the sculpt was really good on this. I also wish I was still this skinny, but that’s another matter entirely.

Late last night I was introduced to Hero Forge Custom Miniatures. They’re a miniatures company that have a custom character builder where you can design your own figures and have them professionally made for $20-$30 depending on your choice of plastic.

So I did what any other husband with a miniature hobby and insomnia would do.

That’s right, I designed figures based on my wife (known as @selectivlyretro on Instagram) and I. I showed her the above image and she nearly fell over laughing. If only I had known about this a year ago I think these would have some awesome wedding cake toppers!

Hero Forge has hundreds of different options to choose from, so if you're looking for something extra special and unique for the tabletop I'd definitely recommend checking them out! I saw that someone gave Santa Claus a Thompson sub-machine gun for a game of Bolt Action they were planning. The options are limitless!
