Welcome to the Hero Forge Miniature Masterpiece Countdown.
Every day I post a miniature that exemplifies a designer’s use of at least one of my critical design principles: technical skill with the tools, innovative thinking, and expression of theme or subject matter.
At the end of the week, I post the number 1 Miniature Masterpiece. This mini demonstrates the designer’s ability to employ all 3 creative elements in their work.
After 7 weeks, all the winners of the countdown are placed on a single list, and you vote for your number 1 miniature.
Who will be the season 2 All-Star?


Sprinting into her number 7 spot in this week’s Hero Forge Miniature Masterpiece Countdown we have “The Flash Jay Garrick” by an anonymous designer.
This mini made it onto the countdown due to its excellent representation of the subject. Even the expression reflects Jay Garrick’s easy-going and steady demeanor. And I appreciated the attempt at creating a lightning bolt across the chest despite not having a decal in that exact shape. Adherence to the theme is why this miniature masterpiece made it into the number 7 spot.





The Countdown so Far
