Converting - Sculpting

Ok so this is kind of about converting but not really, and no other forum seemed to fit, so here's my ? again:

If there's another thread out there that touches on this I apologize, but I did do a search and had to give up after the first 25 that jsut had the word sculpt in it. SO the question is...

Does anyone have any info (websites, books, etc.) on sculpting and casting minis? I kind of want to give it a shot and see how they might turn out.

Thx in advance.

Try the Yahoo Group "1ListScultping" or something like that. Lots of resources gathered there, specifically concerning sculpting and casting of gaming miniatures.

These two groups have everything you want or need to learn sculpting and casting. . .

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/1listSculpting/
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/casting/

They have both been helpful to me.

Some great links there! Reaper Miniatures also sells armatures for human-like miniatures.
