I recently rediscovered the fun of making FIMO ( sculpey ) pieces for several games and now I want to know wich game would you like to be "FIMOed" ?
I show you what I´ve done and what I wish I had done but couldn´t and you tell me wich game you wish to be "FIMOed".

It all began with Agricola, this game has to get better animals than cubes:
and the other stuff too:
Someone else makes better figures ( In this case  for User tcamprubi ):
But for me ( and some others ) my figures are good enough and after this succesful first try I remembered that I once have done this for.....

....but it went terribly wrong and all my figures are molten ( that happens more than 10 years ago ) and now I tried it again:
This is good enough for me but as usual, someone else made it better:
( in this case User: AnglePark )
But wait, there is .....

I´ve read somewhere here at BGG that the churches where ugly, I openend the game and changed it:
But now......what could be next ?
It´s up to you to show me the right direction, I´m curious what you will suggest.

OK Frank... Time to do Rivets. Here is a picture (courtesy of DWTRIPP) of some of the Martian Metals that were available for it before their warehouse fire.

Here is the game that I plan on Fimo'n first (if I ever get off my lazy butt and do it).
I think 3-D Temples, Treasures, Base Camps and workers would be VERY cool.
You go right ahead and show me how it's done!

My last prototype for my self-published game, Border Reivers included FIMO mountain ranges, castles, towers, towns, cities and armies. The town, cities and armies were fairly generic (discs and cylinders) and were replaced with wooden equivalents in the self-published version, but the towers, castles and mountain ranges I was really proud of:
The published version had far plainer components.

Well Frank, I looked at your collection (sorted by rating desc) and I think A Game of Thrones is the one highest on your list that could benefit from the treatment. Struggle of Empires could too, but there's always Conquest of the Empire for plasticy goodness on that front.

Meeples are good. I use Playmobil football figures and goals on a larger pitch myself, but Fimo players would certainly add to the look of the game.
I would have suggested that you take on Hey! That's My Fish (Packeis am Pol) if you owned it as those wooden penguins are the worst thing about that game. However, you do not own that one. I doubt that my Sculpey penguins would hold a candle to your efforts.

The Back Alley gets no respect.

Here's a business proposition. Since Valley Games still hasn't gotten the special pieces to those who pre-ordered this game oh so long ago, you could make a bunch of ships and containers that are prettier than what comes with the game and sell them to Valley so they can fulfill their promise.
Think that will work?

Well I think that every game that includes animals that are either represented by wooden cubes or cardboard chits are ideal candidates to get
pimped fimoed.
Typical example is WildLife:
This game would also profit from nicely sculpted 3D-animals.

Evo dinosaurs! Wooden disks are nice y'know, but cute little dinos would really bring the game to life.

Just putting this in the list rather than the comments:
I have always wanted some ships for Puerto Rico. Something sized to hold the right number of goods based on players.
3 Ships that you could fill the extra spaces for less than 5 players would be nice. That way you only need to do 3 ships, and then if you have fewer players, you just fill some of the spots with dummies. That way you do not need 5 ships, nor the ability to store 5 ships.

Originally, this had 3-D Colosseums.
It would require 5 x 2 End pieces, and 5 x 2 Center pieces.
But wow, would it look cool! I would be in for that!

I would do all the things I have ever dreamed of doing. I would love to become a professional whistler.I'm pretty amazing at it now, but I wanna get, like, even better. Make my living out of it.
Bffffttt, Pffffttt, Buuuuurtt........

Hacienda is an option. Lots of little animals in 5 colors and the haciendas as little houses would be great. Could even do the water or the land tiles.

How about this upcoming game from Z-Man Games! It's a game about making sushi! The food would look great in FIMO!

The trucks in this game are great, but they all hold the same amount of cubes.
Maybe different sized trucks that hold the right amount of drink.
Cool models btw
