New WIP Gallery – Dwarven Cupid

Posted on 10 December 2016 by August

Recently I’ve received this miniature as a gift from my dear Friend, who knows way to much about me and my preferences. It’s so terribly wrong, I can’t stop loving it.
This one is original from Scibor Miniatures.

Cast itself is nice. Honestly, I skipped some prep-work, because… I admit, I just wanted to get to painting it. There were few bubbles (one on toes, one on cuffs), but it’s something I fixed with putty (and detailed later).
It’s fun to do something different from my usual figures.

And I even haven’t really touched that poor goblin yet.

New Gallery – Tyranid Scythed Hierodule

Posted on 19 July 2016 by August

Well, I haven’t been here for a while.
But here’s an update! Just finished Warhammer 40k commission for my friend.
It’s Tyranid Scythed Hierodule from Forge World, hand-painted with Citadel paints.
I was supposed to make it look easy to copy for my friend.

I have a few started/ready to paint figures, but somehow I can’t make myself into mood to make any. I get distracted way too easily, can’t find enough time to just sit and paint without breaks, or my neck starts to hurt. Soon™.

Enjoy!

That’s something I don’t do everyday. My friend asked me to paint few units of his Warhammer 40k army. This is one of them (the largest one and actually a resin kit).
That’s quite challenging for me, since I never had to follow W40K painting schemes (this one is made by my friend using official colours) and using Citadel paints at all. But it’s still fun 😀

New WIP Gallery: Sha’un – Ram Tribe Warrior

Posted on 15 February 2016 by August

It was supposed to be entry for GK forum’s contest, but I couldn’t make it on time. Well, to be clear, this figure still isn’t finished.
White ram warrior in tarnished brass armour.
This time, next to my mostly used Vallejo paints, I’ve started using other brands:
P3 fromula, Citadel and Army Painter.
From those mentioned, I like Army Painter the most and you’re going to see me using their colours more often. They’re having richer pigments, than Vallejo in my opinion (not saying that Vallejo is worse. It isn’t).

Soon I should finish this figure, meanwhile look at WIP pics.

Enjoy!

New Gallery – Gwendolyn

Posted on 2 May 2015 by August

I haven’t updated this place for quite a long time, but hopefully it’s going to change.
Since I started full-time job in November – my free time for kits got cut down drastically.
But. I managed to finish this Gwendolyn now and there’s hope for other kits!

She’s contest entry, for our GK group, I couldn’t post pictures earlier due to contest rules.

Gwendolyn, Valkyrie from Odin Sphere.

E2046 recast, not really awesome quality. Kit didn’t include base, I’ve made my own.
Kit is both: hand-painted and airbrushed.
Paints used: Vallejo Model Color acrylics, Dealer-Rowney’s Interference Colour (shimmering blue, shimmering violet), Pebeo Prisme Fantasy paints.
Other materials: Glitter and some crystals normally used for nail decoration.
Crystals made using Copper(II) sulfate (I’ve grown those).
