I'll be posting the first 60 Cloth Trows Kickstarter packages tomorrow! But there are still just under a third of metal minis backers who haven't completed the pledge manager 🙀 Info is in the update from the 23rd of September and a KS message from me. Go have a look if you haven't already.

A pile of postal boxes on my packing desk with four cloth trow miniatures, four cloth goblin miniatures, three singing cloth rat miniatures and a cloth troll miniature just peeking out.

I prepped and primed some minis to paint and maybe I'll finally finish the cloth wolves I started ages ago. These will all be block colour and shiny varnished ✨ Probably shouldn't have used an ancient can of white primer, but it's not as rough as it looks. statuesqueminiatures.co.uk

Four grey primed cloth trow miniatures and three white primed ghost miniatures and two WIP painted cloth wolf miniatures.

Yesterday I cast the last of the minis needed for the Cloth Trows Kickstarter 🙌 If you're a backer for the metal minis and you haven't done so already, check the latest KS update to see what you have to do next. I'll be packing orders soon. They're also up for preorder! statuesqueminiatures.co.uk

A photo of four painted miniatures of bean-shaped cloth creatures, with their eyes visible through a hood opening like a zipped up parka. One trow has their arms folded over a walking stick, the others are holding crooked sticks. One is waving. They have blue-grey bodies, two-tone on a pair of them, and beige faces and arms. The miniatures are painted with a speckled effect that have been applied with a toothbrush. They are stood on a slate roof tile and there are sparkly orange lights in the dark background.

This morning I cast what should be the last batch of cloth trows needed for the Kickstarter, along with some cloth adventurers. Various other minis need to be cast too, but I'm almost ready for Kickstarter packing. Backers: check the latest update 👀 Pre-order them here👇 statuesqueminiatures.co.uk

The cloth trows are finally enjoying their very own scenic (mini) muffin in their very own dome on the shelf of many domes. Really enjoyed making it. Cloth trow minis from here: kickstarter.com/projects/statuesque/cloth-trows

Four painted miniatures of bean-shaped cloth creatures holding crooked sticks stand on a small scenic display base made with layers of cork coasters, covered in flock and grass tufts so it looks a bit like a chunk of earth pulled from the ground. The scenic base is on the cork base of a small glass dome, with the dome glass in the background.

Statuesque Miniatures @statuesque.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

I took the scenic muffin outside to see how the colours looked in natural light. I'm really happy with it and it was a nice change of pace to work on. The cloth trows will feel right at home. kickstarter.com/projects/statuesque/cloth-trows

Statuesque Miniatures @statuesque.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Ok now I'm just messing about and need to leave the scenic muffin alone. I've used sepia and yellow inks mixed with thin matt varnish to tint the flock. The yellow is less vibrant in reality and will likely dry more subtle. Maybe? No idea 🤷 kickstarter.com/projects/statuesque/cloth-trows

A small scenic display base made with layers of cork coasters, covered in flock and grass tufts so it looks a bit like a chunk of earth pulled from the ground. There are a couple of small receptacles with yellow and brown varnish mixes, the bottles of ink and a glass dome with four cloth trow miniatures inside.

Statuesque Miniatures @statuesque.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Well all that glue is going to take a very long time to dry. The cloth trows will just have to wait for their scenic muffin. It was very peaceful flocking the flock and tufting the tufts though. While we wait, check out the Cloth Trows Kickstarter! kickstarter.com/projects/statuesque/cloth-trows

Statuesque Miniatures @statuesque.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

With morning eyes, I see I didn't do a great job positioning everyone on the scenic muffin. The elder trow is very close to the front and there's a lot of space at the back. It's like the elder trow is going to tap on the glass to be let out. kickstarter.com/projects/statuesque/cloth-trows

A small glass dome with a cork base. Inside the dome are four painted miniatures of bean-shaped cloth creatures holding crooked sticks. They are stood on a scenic base made from cork coasters glued together and plucked with tweezers, then painted with acrylic paint mixed with sand.

Statuesque Miniatures @statuesque.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

I've plucked at it with tweezers and scraped at it with a pokey thing. I've glued some cork debris to build certain parts up, too. I'll have my tea then have another look at it. Some adjustments needed to the taper, I think. kickstarter.com/projects/statuesque/cloth-trows

0151

Statuesque Miniatures @statuesque.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

The basic form is done, now I just need to make it look, you know, good. And it needs to fit in the dome, which it currently doesn't. I might add another layer on the bottom but that depends how it looks inside the dome. kickstarter.com/projects/statuesque/cloth-trows

Four painted miniatures of cloth creatures on a rough scenic base made out of torn cork coasters. There's a pile of cork debris beside this, but that'll be useful for rubble and stuff so it's not waste. The dome for all this is in the background.

Statuesque Miniatures @statuesque.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

A scenic macaroon (for the ghosts) and a scenic biscuit (for the cloth wolves). So you know what I mean. The wolves will be very upset as they've been waiting years to be upgraded to a scenic muffin. They're so cramped.

Three ghost miniatures on top of a short scenic base, on top of the cork base of a glass dome.

Cloth wolf miniatures on top of a scenic display base that is flat and wide like a biscuit, on top of a wooden base for a glass dome.

Statuesque Miniatures @statuesque.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

I want to make a scenic muffin for the painted trows so they fill their dome a bit better. I'll probably use the wee dome, so it'll only be a mini-muffin. But not small enough to be classed as a scenic macaroon or scenic biscuit. kickstarter.com/projects/statuesque/cloth-trows

A photo of my desk with a stack of cork coasters with four cloth trow miniatures on them, two differently sized glass domes with cork bases and a scenic muffin-shaped display thing tiered to allow various miniatures to be seen easily. It's meant to look like a chunk of terrain ripped from the ground. There are various cloth creature miniatures on the scenic muffin.

Nearly there, just had to get out the custom tuft-drybrush. For drybrushing the tufts. Vital step. kickstarter.com/projects/statuesque/cloth-trows

Four WIP miniatures of bean-shaped cloth creatures, with their eyes visible through a hood opening like a zipped up parka. One trow has their arms folded over a walking stick, the others are holding crooked sticks. One is waving. They have blue-grey bodies and beige faces and arms and have been given a speckled finish. Their stoney bases have mossy flock applied and tiny grass tufts which have been drybrushed a straw colour using a knacked old brush cut down to about 2mm bristles, visible in the photo.

All four cloth trows have been splatter painted! I got a lot of footage. Hopefully some of it is actually usable to show the process. They still need tidied up and finished off, but that will have to wait. I'm hungry. kickstarter.com/projects/statuesque/cloth-trows

Four WIP painted cloth creatures miniature with two-tone, blue-grey bodies and beige arms and faces holding a brown sticks. The miniatures have been splattered with very thin pale grey paint and thinned brown wash, in lots and lots of passes, to give a speckled effect.

Here's a comparison of a cloth trow with just pale grey splatter and a cloth trow with the brown wash splatter done, too. I think it adds a nice amount of depth to the effect. You should probably wear gloves for this. kickstarter.com/projects/statuesque/cloth-trows

Two WIP painted cloth creature miniatures with two-tone, blue-grey bodies and beige arms and faces holding brown sticks. The miniature on the left has been splattered with very thin pale grey paint.

Here's a splattered cloth trow immediately after the splattering 🪥 I'll likely knock back the effect on the arms with a glaze, the base and stick will get a brown wash and I'll tidy up the dark lining and stitches. Now I've got to film this chaos... kickstarter.com/projects/statuesque/cloth-trows

All set for splatter painting! I even bought a new toothbrush as I used the yellow one for stripping paint off old minis and it's a bit tatty. Will try to film the process as I get asked about it a lot. That part may not go well. Minis from here: kickstarter.com/projects/statuesque/cloth-trows

The equipment for splatter painting miniatures with a toothbrush: a cardboard box to collect the mess; miniatures painted in block colours; a toothbrush; pale grey paint; water; a damp brush to sook up unwanted splatter; a paint receptacle. Not pictured: brown wash for more splatter.

The (denim) cloth trows are ready for the toothbrush splattering! But I want to admire them like this for a wee bit, because I really, reeeeally love block-colour painted minis with nice crisp dark lining in the recesses. Mmmmm hmmmm. Get 'em here 👇 kickstarter.com/projects/statuesque/cloth-trows

Four bean-shaped cloth creatures, with their eyes visible through a hood opening like a zipped up parka. One trow has their arms folded over a walking stick, the others are holding crooked sticks. One is waving. They are painted in two shades of blue-grey, with pale beige faces and arms. Their stoney bases are a slightly different pale beige but will be given a brown wash and mossy texture after the splatter coat, so won't look so similar to the figures themselves.

Statuesque Miniatures @statuesque.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

The cloth trows are tired of their monochrome life and have tasked a cloth craa to lead them through the Habernagerie, so they may gain Colour! Will they fulfill their wish before the Kickstarter ends?? kickstarter.com/projects/statuesque/cloth-trows (I'm working on it -paint is being painted)
