Steampunk diorama created from scratchbuilt gaming terrain
Here's a diorama I made for a competiton earlier, with some customized steampunk miniatures & scratchbuilt terrain.

Steampunk interior models - a closer look
In my earlier post ( Steampunk diorama ), I promised to introduce these steampunk terrain items to you, so here we go.

Tatooine -like rpg/miniatures gaming terrain
"If there's a center to the universe, then you're on the planet that it's farthest from!"
-Luke skywalker, speaking of his homeworld Tatooine
Addition: I added a few WIP pictures of the buildings to the bottom of the post.
Terrain modelling: Four medieval -like buildings
The medieval buildings you'll see below have seen a lot of use in my rpg's. I love running games in cities, so it's no wonder - and the campaign I'm just about to finish is Ptolus, a huge book having a complete urban setting for D&D 3E.
The buildings are built almost completely from cardboard + surface materials - that's same old filler powder/PVA glue mixture I've used in so many of my models.
Tutorial: Burning starship wrecks (and how to model fire!)
Most frequent question I get asked on gaming sites is about how I have created fire and smoke. Now I'm releasing a tutoral about this topic - while it's actually about creating starship wrecks, it will teach you how to model fire. Another page (coming soon) will show you applications of this technique.
Very simple modelling project: Death Star
How easy can a modelling project be? Death Star must be the easiest one I've done. Cutting the place for the super laser was perhaps the hardest part, after that I applied dyed filler-paste to the model, carved the center line and painted it. Not the most accurate model but works.
When shall we have printable miniatures? The technique is already there!
Professors Keane and Scanlan from Southampton University have printed out an airplane that flies; This is far more advanced than printing out miniatures. So, when shall we have 3D-files having miniatures we can print out? That requires affordable 3d printers.
