Thanks, all - he's delighted and encouraged by the feedback.

Not to be outdone by her older brother, my daughter is making a beastie too - with a little help from a GW skull bequeathed to her by her brother. I'm not sure what exactly it is, but I can see a lot of uses for it in D&D games when it's done:

My son's got quite a bit more done over the past few weeks: another completed Elder Thing, a "slime fountain" (apparently an Elder Thing device for creating new creatures) and a shoggoth. He's also made a few more shoggoths which have yet to be painted.

You will have quite the managerie of Cthulhu monsters when they are done.

Very nice, and a tricky figure to make too - as the lack of commercially options available attests...

Great job

Brilliant stuff!

Thanks for all the feedback - he's delighted with it!

He's now completed three Elder Things. He's also made a lot of other bits and bobs (two or three more shoggoths and various other smaller creatures that he invented, along with some terrain pieces).

I came home from work the other day to find that my son had painted all five of the adventurers he bought for the game. He's asked me to help him with the eyes and a few details, but I was quite impressed with what he's done on his own. He's painted a few other miniatures before, but this is his first themed group (and his first metals, I think). Here they are, along with some of the monsters and other things he's been making for the game.

And here's his latest WIP - the "Whistler in Darkness," so I'm told!

The Whistler is complete. It looks a little Tekumel-ish to me - though as far as I know, he's had no exposure to that (yet ...).

Enviable work - keep it up!

Thanks - I've passed on your encouragement!

He's now painted the Whistler:

Have seen worse painting from far more experienced painters/gamers. And the "sculpts" are almost on par with a lot of mythos creaures you can buy. They're going to have a great wargaming career!

Thanks very much!

My son drew this yesterday to illustrate his impending game:
