Dragon, Kyra, Seoni…. done!
After working on these guys for quite some time, I finally was able to sit down and finish them up this week. It’s such a relief to be able to get home at a reasonable hour, paint uninterrupted, and actually get some commissions finished. Â I love the fact that my customers are patient and forgiving …

A Word on Scale
Over the course of the time I’ve had my website, I’ve had a few people ask “how big are these minis?”. I try and remember to post the scale on the gallery pictures but I forget that not everyone knows what the difference between 25mm and 80mm scale is. I’m not well versed on what …

Painting Kyra’s Face
While waiting for the watery layers of Red Dragon to dry, I worked on Kyra’s face. Below is the artwork that I was sent to use as a reference. I used a base coat of Olive Skin Highlight and Dusky Skin. I mixed it about 50/50. Â A mix of Walnut Brown and a small …

Mongol General
I finally finished the Mongol General from Andrea. He is a 54mm white metal kit and was a joy and challenge to paint.

Angie’s Progress
These are a few rough pictures of where I’m going with this one. I tried to make the pictures as true to color as possible with out running them through photoshop. I still have a bit to go on her as well as my other projects, but I’m getting there. Â Â Â
M26 Pershing, 1/35th scale from Tamiya
 This is my first tank build. I painted this in oils and acrylics and used weathering powder mixed with alcohol for the mud. The base I threw together with a mix of Celluclay, white glue, and the bricks and rubble I made from dental stones and plasters from work.
Fearless Frost Dragon from Ral Partha
I painted this dragon for a commission and I’m pleased at how it came out. It’s mainly a black dragon, highlighted up to a shade of blue on the body and wings and a greenish grey on the scales. Â I tried for glowing eyes as was in the reference I received.
Luke Skywalker and Yoda
These are the last WIP pictures and the final work of Luke Skywalker and Yoda, a 70mm white metal kit from Knight Models. Â This is the first time I’ve built a base that consisted more than some sand and maybe a little grass. Â I built up the base with natural sticks and sections of vine, …

Darth Vader
Here are the last few pictures of  Darth Vader, a 70mm white metal kit from Knight Models.  He was more of  a challenge than I expected and I know that I need practice painting black. These are only slightly different from the last WIP pictures.  I ended up stripping the light saber three times and …

USS Arizona Finished
This are the final pictures of my first scale model project, a 1:700th scale USS Arizona from MiniHobbyModels. Â This model has taught me many things and I now know the pitfalls of assembly. Â My next model will go much more smoothly. Â I’ve looked at a lot of references on building scale ships and most paint …

Freebooter’s Bad Fairy
This is “Bad Fairy” from Freebooter.  I painted this miniature for a gift.  I didn’t have time to sculpt a base so I thought a nice Aqua Aura crystal cluster would fit well.  It’s a bit more fragile that I thought it would be but that gave me the opportunity to  move some of …

Flat Figure: Native American
This is my first attempt at a flat figure. It was a good exercise in highlighting and shadowing. I do believe I need to improve on this a bit. Â I had a lot of fun with it and am looking forward to the next one.
