Materials used.
Games Workshop plastic bases.Greenstuff epoxy putty.
epoxy resin.
Acrylic paint.
Bits of plastic (in the case of the Gelatinous cube).
The Gelatinous Cube is just a couple of plastic boxes with plastic strips on the inside suspending a slight mess of dissolving body parts (if you look really close, you can see a rib cage), it has a sculpted arm and hand sticking out of the front and is on a slight lean to impart some sort of dynamic movement on this block of goo. The outer texture is just epoxy resin with acrylic paint providing a tint of acidic colour (which also serves to strengthen the lightweight plastic box). It is stuck to a large plastic base.
The Bloodfire Ooze is greenstuff with acrylic paint on a large plastic base, the mixing of acrylic paint and epoxy resin resulted in the liquid looking blood dripping off the Ooze, and left the epoxy with a less rigid set, which was interesting.
A couple of Creepers, pretty easy to paint as they are made from greenstuff anyway. I should really get around to decorating the bases of these miniatures.
A Modron (Quadrone) not particularly well photographed. There is a lot of detail going on in this sculpt and it was more a test of what I could hand sculpt with greenstuff.. I would advise that some things, like mechanical parts, are better off done as individual parts, then assembled after using epoxy resin.

[Mod Edit: I made this a link so not to stretch the forum.]
Pictured here is 'Tink' an NPC construct, basically a metal sphere with spider-like mechanical legs, again, made with greenstuff and painted with metalic acrylic paint. in the foreground are a couple of Pixies (player characters), which are a bit rough as they were some of the first miniatures I made, and are very small, but, the players loved them. In the background is the Bloodfire Ooze, all of this is taking place on some Wizards of the Coast Dungeon tiles.. which I don't particularly like, but I have them, so I use them.
I'm looking forward to making some terrain of my own, and I'll post images when I have them.
