pictures and ideas and love to involve people in the process creation, also I love the idea to be part of the community based on miniatures and games.Gandalf is a protagonist in J. When the community will grow up we will be doing Polls for the next models.
Every month I release a part of a special pin-up mini-diorama split into two parts available for both fantasy and sci-fi tiers. Each month I’ll release fantasy and sci-fi 3d printable miniatures for RPGs and wargames.
