When I was a kid, I loved the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I had the action figures, watched the cartoons, and spent lots of time drawing them myself. Now, I play D&D and paint miniatures for fun. …and part of me was really sad when I found out that there had been a set of TMNT metal miniatures made in the 90’s that have been out of print forever, and are really expensive if you find them on Ebay. …the rest of me, though, saw a challenge: Make your OWN damn minis! Here’s the first result!
He turned out a little big (32mm to the eyes instead of the 28mm I hoped for), but he still fits into the “Heroic” scale miniatures lots of companies sell! So, I call him a success! I’ll have to replace the swords with something more sturdy than the Sculpey I made him out of (probably metal), but other than that, he’s about ready to prime and paint! Only one question: Blue mask, or Red mask?
