The Rules:
Actually PRACTICE your hobby. Just
do it because it makes you happy and don't worry about it. Geeze .
. .
But DON'T BUY RECASTS. Artists
need support to keep doing it and recasts are typically crappy anyway.
If you want to use some of our images,
cool by me . . . just credit the source as
www.creaturescape.com
If you want to link to us, knock
yourself out. Use our banner if you like and
contact us so we can return the favor.
If you find an error, problem, bad link
or foolish statement,
let us know, but don't be a butthead.
Support our
sponsors
because that is how we stay afloat.
Fight the power, wash behind your ears
and for heaven sake, if you are drunk and surfing the web right now,
take a minute to think about how cool monster models are and go
immediately to
our sale
page and buy a kit!
