Many of us "ooo" and "ahh" over the amazing painting and converting that we see when we take a look at Golden Demon entries, but do we really know what goes into making one of them?

Well, here is some insight into the creation of one such model...

Vincent Hudon’s "The Making of Magmatrax"

(Sorry if you've seen this before, but I thought it would be beneficial)
...And all this time I thought there was only one way to "retire" from the Council! What you call "retire", I call a "stay of execution"..whats in a word? DM Mik!

Your talking about "ooo´s" and "aah´s"...
When i saw that i whent "GAH!" and started drooling...
I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
Without ever having felt sorry for itself.

Too damn good!

At least it feels good to know that people have to out a lot of time and thought into those things and that they don't magically appear overnight...
I am currently writing an epic Dragon Age 2 adventure that can be found HERE!! or on my deviantart.

I am in awe of SENMM.  The illusion is so perfect.

Normally I think that NMM is highly overrated. If you don't know what you're doing (as most people trying it don't) it generally looks terrible. However some people just rock at it and this is one of those examples. Just wonderful NMM! :)

Just as he preaches, however, this took practice. It took him a lot of tries to get the NMM to look right, just like everything else on it. NMM takes awhile to get ahang of but if you work and practice it can look wonderful.

If you want some other AMAZING models, check these out:

Honestly, I want to know how this got third in its category...
This has HANDS DOWN the best lighting effects I have ever seen on a model.

An example of now NMM can rock (sword)....just the model in general is awesome.

If you have no idea what NMM is here are a couple articles:

http://www.d20zines.com/html/modules.php?o...order=0&thold=0
http://www.minitaly.com/paolo/guida_nmm1_e.htm

Unfortunately those arn't all that great, but the one I normally look at is down at the moment....and I'm on lunch so I don't have time to look up any others.

That dread duel is amazing!

She must still be reasonably young, because I remember that she was in a White Dwarf (UK) winning a Golden Daemon for an Ork bust. Theres a picture of her and it says shes 13 or something. She can't be older than 20 now, no way.

Amazing, that Victoria lamb!

Fiery Angel looks great with the black background, but a picture of it sitting on a table was not nearly as impressive. The impression of a dark room lit only by the flamers helps a lot. In that regard, I can see the third place.

All the same, I'd like to see 2nd and 1st place!
