Welcome to the Troll Forged Miniatures forum!
If you are not a member and would like to be: please see this thread
This is a community where we can share our WIP, and to hear feedback from our peers on the miniatures we are creating. Here is a quick instruction on posting images on this forum. - With commissions my main goal is to allow clients to have some say in the products I'm producing and designing through WIP threads, and for you to have the same opportunity during your commissions.
- For private pet projects, of original material, there is the TFM store. This is a service where you send in your miniatures, I'll cast them up and sell them in the store, and send you a royalty for each sale. You'll get your green back once the master mould is made. More in the FAQ
Please keep things friendly. I'm not a very strict administrator and there is room for a lot of freedom here as long as things do not get out of hand. I am a big fan of old school miniatures. I do a lot of pieces based on this type of work, however to become mainstream I need to branch out and also create some other types of figures. I plan to improve each and every kit I make and I hope this forum helps me do this. I created this place for us all, and I hope we all enjoy this new (experimental) creative experience ;D Troll Forged Ed Fortae (Hive Trygon)

Best of luck with this forum mate. Its hard for me to keep up with all the forums Im registered but I will try to participate  I understand, and with your workload on Bug Lands I'm sure it's hard to get time. My main wish and goal is to try and get people sculpting and making miniatures of their own as well. If I can mold them for them or find someone here that also has the same ability and we can help each other all make cool things. I do of course want to make cool minis of my own but both are priorities. I get a lot of questions from people about molds and making miniatures, etc. so this might help some other artists. I'd love to see you sculpt miniatures some day and would surly buy some. ;D

I would buy from both of you any day if I was not broke. ;D Great idea and the idea of a site to improve, get one on one feedback etc. and to generally help others out by answering questions is a great idea. Then hopefully you answer the one question and others can then just read it and you don't have to answer it over and over. I am sorry but I can not add any input of my own sculpting as I have none.. I can fill a gap and thats about it. But I am interested in learning and the idea of creating something of my own and maybe getting some of them actually made into models has always been a dream of mine. Of course dreams come second to paying bills but we will see maybe one day and maybe with some of the very people on this site may help make it happen.  Hey Hive Trygon on your sig you have your link to your Troll Forge. You should do a banner for everyone to easily click on and go to your site also on the front page bottom, top etc. Nice banner of the store and click it to go. I would.

greydeath, You have so much to offer with the ability to design some fantastic things. Your ability to convert almost anything into something completely different requires such imagination and I have no doubt you have some very cool ideas of your own I would love come into reality. Thanks again all of you for joining and you are some of the people I most admire. Gareth is here also, one fantastic painter. He is the only one as of yet not to pop on. There are a few others I plan to try and get involved but not 100% sure they would join. Verm1s, Mr.Grendle, Moloch, and Doghouse.

Ive known DogHouse online anyways for about 5 years now. Drop him a line I bet he would join in. He is pretty darn good and one of the first guys I ever met that sculpted full models. I met him through friends at our local hobby shop. He actually mailed us some figs etc. Super nice guy. Really helpful guy. He took a little brake and is back at it. Stop by my site and send him a PM I bet he would join and he has plenty to offer like I said he was the first person not only did I see but to give me input, help and advice on any form of sculpting etc. Also thanks for the kind words guys that was nice of you to say.  Also not sure if you know Jeff from DragonForge he is a sculpter and painter not to mention a really nice guy. Another person maybe? If not already asked. Well thanks for asking but a humble converter like me to join in on a sculpting and complete figure type building site. ;D I know the site is much more than that. I have actually always wanted to get into building some stuff so maybe learning from all of you maybe like I said in my other post maybe I can. Thanks again.

Thanks Greydeath I sent an email to Jeff and lets see if he comes around. Tried the others as well.
BTW, khabuldashudeth is now on board. He is the one making the cool hounds I have on the site. He lives in the U.K. and we mail back and forth, very nice guy and these are his first attempt at 28mm stuff. Very good IMO, better than my own I think.

Thank you for the invite.
So this is a site for commenting on Troll Forged's (Hive Trygon's) work? Does this make it a fan club?
Does that mean we can't post our toys? Slightly confused as to the point of the forum - Sorry.
I'm very happy to be a part of a forum filled with so many of my idols.
