After a long hiatus, Amazing Miniatures is back to blogging again. Hey all, I am still alive! I’ve been away from the mini scene for several years due to some relocation, new jobs, and starting up grad school again. I think it was a good time to take a break at that time due to burn out as well. So a lot of real life has been deterring me from my mini life and now ...
Amazing Miniatures Post This is another one of those entries I’ve been meaning to write and post up ASAP as it was happening, but you know, life. It’s going to be a long and full of text. You were warned. Tough Decisions You may or may not have noticed that I am no longer shipping internationally. It was a hard decision to...

Amazing Miniatures Post Oh boy, it’s been a while. Do you miss me? I sure miss everyone! I know my last few posts lacked any substance and I tried to get back into the rhythm for the holidays, but eventually decided to just take a break from miniatures and this blog for a bit. Hope you didn’t mind. 😉 I’ve been telling fri...
Amazing Miniatures Post This is a few days late, but I have a good excuse. I’m not going to tell you, other than it’s a good one! \wink\ Well, October has been a busy month on the treasury circuit. I was featured in 41 public treasuries. That certainly beat out my personal best (the total escapes me right now, but it was i...
