About Master Crafted Miniatures

Hi! I am Ben, a freelance miniature sculptor and a veteran hobbyist. The vast majority of work here is my own, though I do stock the work of others.

I originally trained as an artist for computer games but my love for the world of tabletop wargames and fine miniatures led me to start my own business. Thankfully, the technology behind 3D-printing has allowed me to bring my digital designs into the real world with precision. My aim is to produce high quality miniatures through a combination of computer-aided design and more traditional techniques.

I have worked with Mantic Games, Steamforged Games, Mad Robot Miniatures, Meridian MiniaturesElemental Miniatures, Anvil Industry, Palladium BooksKabuki Models and more.

I currently work closely with GCT Studios, sculpting, managing the other sculptors, as well as handling many design odd jobs. Many of the products on this site are in support of GCT Studio’s tabletop miniatures game, Bushido.

I first got into wargaming at the age of 9, with the Space Marine boxed game. These days I play a lot of different game systems, arguably too many, but my main game is Bushido. I’m also one half of the irregularly-published Robot Dice Explosion podcast.

I am joined, once a week, by my friend Graham who handles many of the store tasks.

Ben.
