I'm guilty of buying the cheap, easy stuff myself. I own TONS of plastic pre-painted minis. Some are of the new D&D variety and others are MageKnight figs. Most of them are pretty cool and they are A LOT faster than painting them yourself.
In the past, I've been known to make my own miniatures out of Sculpey and then set them upon heroes (a certain eye tyrant comes to mind), but I've never seen anyone else do it.
I was reading through an old pdf of White Dwarf (Issue #8 Sept 1978) and I found this cool article on how to make minis using wire, damp tissue and filler. The monster stats are in an old issue of the Dungeoneer. Maybe I'll try to make one sometime.
Enjoy!

Looks like there are a few steps missing between "Assembly" and final version.
BTW, I was on a similar kick when I wanted molds for 25mm figures and lead ingots to cast my own minis...for some reason, my mom didn't like the idea of her 14-year-old turning his bedroom into a forge.
