This month was filled with Monte San Savino goodness. But that wasn't the only thing happening all around. Check out the Do Not Miss November 2014:

Miniatures

• Facebook minis of the month of October: Summary of the best miniatures seen during the month of October by the Eureka minis team.


• Templar knight in Jerusalem: Nice bust by Javier González (Arsies). His interesting style applied to busts is something quite different from what we see normally.


• Dung Beetle Knight by Sascha Buczek: Long time since the last time I saw a painting by Sascha, this one is really interesting. I love the texture work.


• Jumping like Frogs by Jorge Jaldón in Rafa Coll's Blog: Especially interesting is the introduction of the post, how Jorge breaks four "unwritten" rules of classic modelling. In Spanish.


• "The Death" Frederick the Great`s 5th Hussars by Kirill Kanaev: The painting ability of Kirill is not from this world. Look at another of his crazy busts.


• Boudicca by Pedro Fernández in Rafa Coll's Blog: Amazing bust modelled by master Pedro.


• Papa Shango by Rosman: One of the best versions of Banshee's anonymous bust.
