You seem pretty committed to this. Have you considered getting a 3d printer? They can be had for pretty cheap now ($200~) and are amazing for printing out custom or community made characters and props. I use mine for all sorts of other tinkering, but in the campaign I'm in right now (curse of Straad) I'm printing out a Straad and I've printed my own character. You don't even have to know anything about 3d modeling. You can download all sorts of great models.I'm close to the point where I'm comfortable with the rules for running the campaign so I'm now creating makeshift stuff to use for now. I created a board using Microsoft Xcel (made sure to get them 1" square) and mounted a 4 sheets on a piece of cardboard and cut out some background pieces. Also painted two of my daughter's characters.
