I’ll admit now, this is pretty much the blogging equivalent of a re-tweet! I’ve been following the Studio McVey Sedition Wars releases since the very beginning, and loved pretty much every one. I have a good handful in the limited edition resin, and you’ve all seen the diorama I put together for my Crystal Brush … More Sedition Wars on KickStarter!
Just a quick update on how Boris is coming on. I have pretty much completed the skin apart from sole light glazes to being in some different colours to specific areas – a touch of red to his nose, maybe some purple to his knuckles. I also need to give him some eyebrows, but I … More Boris, almost there…
I am predominantly a painter of 28mm+ wargames miniatres, but I dabble in some of the larger scales – 1:20 scifi, 1:10 busts and the odd 54mm/75mm figure. I would normally dismiss anything smaller than 28mm out of hand due to my perception that the models will be a) less impressive and b) less detailed … More New miniature company, and the 10mm scale… Dropzone Commander
Back in the early noughties when I was discovering a world outside of Games Workshop (yes, it does exist!), and Rackham had just blown my mind with its quirky designs and lashings of continental flair, I stumbled across Heresy Miniatures. The sculpts may not have been as sophisticated as those from our French cousins, but … More Big Boris
Toosh and I are the two members of the group you’re likely to meet at the Bodgers stand at shows at the moment due to various family commitments by the other members. We do, however have a quiet member who spends most of his hobby time preparing armies for wargaming. We shall call him ‘Dave’*. … More A custom Dust Mech
As a whole, I tend to be pretty old school when it comes to photographing miniatures – lots of light, and a traditional blue-to-white gradient background. The gradient background seems to be pretty passée these days but I am always a little unsure about people’s motivation for the way they photograph their miniatures. For me, the intent is to … More Black backgrounds
This bust by Alkemy/Kraken was my entry for the large scale (54mm and above) category in the Crystal Brush competition at Adepticon. I think this may well be the best technical painting I have done and although I didnt receive an award for him at the show, I am still really pleased with the way … More Avelonian recruit
With the Crystal Brush over, and now that I am back in the UK, I thought it was about time I posted up the completed photos of my diorama! The diorama category was ridiculously well attended at the competition, and I unfortunately didnt manage to place in the top three with this…. however, there was … More Dead End – my Sedition Wars vignette
As a bit of an aside from the diorama, which is pretty much done btw, I decided to have a little play with one of Games Workshop’s newer releases – the Wight King. This is a plastic kit – a new style one packed in a blister, and it was an absolute joy to work … More And now for something completely different… a Wight King
I dont know if this will come across so well in these photos, but here are pics of my orc after the zenithal priming. You can just about see the transitions from grey to white where I have blasted white down from an angle
