Born Painting Miniatures

Today I'm sharing some work on a recent Dungeons and Dragons project. Here is the before and after of the test model. I added a bigger base to all 3 models and blended the texture of the bases with putty.  Although the Jackal typically has an Egyptian style, this one lives in caves. Each area that would be gold I instead painted bronze and I did his weapons as if made of stone. The elf druid with a simple airbrush fade cloak and glowing bird spell  Repainted elf archer with water running through his base. Thanks for checking out my blog!

Of course Vader and the speeder bikes needed some attention too.  T...

Earlier this week my project was a space marine captain. Games Workshop Warhammer Vanguard Veteran Squad (2015 Edition) SW The client specified that he wanted the model to be done in flesh tearer armor and have some snow on the basing. The build itself was his design using bits from different marine kits.  He is obviously dark angel influenced with the shield and cloak with sanguinary guard wings and a space wolf thunder hammer. The base came plain black and I knew it needed some extra love.  The rock is a few layers of built up cork and painted black a...
