Khanjira the World Breaker
This guy…… Â man what a beast. I received Khanjira the World Breaker a while ago. It’s the largest model I’ve done and was intimidating. I worked on him in between other small commissions at first, but these last three weeks have been all this guy. The only instruction I was given was to use …

Meeting of Winter
This was a fun challenge. I haven’t done dioramas before and was asked to use the minis sent to me in a scene with a waterfall. It led to a spring unicorn and foal meeting up with the winter pegasus. The client called it Meeting of Winter. The pegasus came from Reaper Miniatures. I’m not …

Return of Winter Skorne
A while ago I had painted part of a Skorne army in purple and gold-bronze metals. I got the second installment of the Winter Skorne a handful of months ago and have been working on those along with other commissions. It was slow going, but they’re done. Like the first set, I sculpted furs onto …

I’m impressed with the intricate sculpt …

Treeman Ancient
Last fall, I was invited to participate in the NOVA Open Charitable Foundation’s auction for 2015. I was flattered to be asked to contribute to such an event and joyously poured over kits from my local hobby shop and picked out a Treeman from Games Workshop. The kit comes with three head and weapon choices. …

Grey Scale Elvira
A fun challenge came up a couple of months ago to paint a grey scale mini. I wasn’t going to join this challenge initially, Â as I have a ton of projects going on already, until I ran across a small sculpt of Elvira. I have no idea what company. It’s a small, about 30mm, resin …

Chasseur A Cheval De La Garde from Metal Modeles
In between gaming miniatures, I indulge my love of historical models. Â I really enjoy gaming and fantasy minis but there’s a different challenge to historical models such as color matching uniforms, trying out freehand on ornate trappings, and working on a larger scale. This guy is a Chasseur A Cheval De La Garde. He’s …

Zombie Papelbon
A few weeks ago, my boyfriend was given a MacFarlane toy statue of Jonathan Papelbon. I’m not a sports fan at all and neither is my guy. The only reason I know the name is I looked it up online so I could write this post. We were playing around with this statue, which isn’t …

Amiri, Iconic Barbarian
Right after the Russian Coalition was boxed up, I jumped on the next commission. This is Amiri from Reaper Miniatures from the Bones line. I painted one other Bones miniature but this is my first commission involving  this material. I followed the reference picture as close as possible, with some slight changes. I wasn’t sure …

Again, I’ve been light on the updating and busy with painting. I finally found a few minutes to add some pictures and get this post up. I painted up a Shaltari Army from Dropzone Commander. The pieces are made of a resiny plastic material. They are durable, not brittle, and have wonderfully sculpted details. …

Izamu from Malifaux
Izamu is done. He is a 32mm resin kit. The custom base that was sent fits really well with the model. Â He is a nicely detailed and fun to paint. All of the metal was done in NMM and I used varying layers of acrylics and oils.
Imrie Risley Cuirassier
So, this is finally the last you’ll see of this guy. I’ve fiddled as much as I can. It bothers me that the reins are so thick that they are disproportionate to the hand but I wanted to use the original parts without altering them. This is for a collector friend and he’ll appreciate the …

Son of Thunder from Confrontation
I finished up the Son of Thunder mini tonight. I was going to update in small pieces but got in a nice painting flow and cruised right through the rest of the mini. As I mentioned before, this is for a charity auction called Heros for Heros. I’m planning on setting up the auction next …

Cement Fox
I was going to do an update on the Son of Thunder sculpt but ended up charging along and almost finishing the mini so I’ll save that for another time when he’s complete. I was thinking of all of the odd things I’ve painted such as the princess piggy bank and Bert and Ernie …
