I paint miniatures for fun and games. Sometimes I publish scenarios and adventures on https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher/29517/horror-vacui?keyword=Horror%20vacui, or on my WordPress https://horrorvacuiminiatures.wordpress.com/

Glad to be of help! Busts and large piece are quite fun, as one does not need the same obsessive precision of a 28mil miniature and still get an awesome result. It'also a bit easier to simulate lights and shadows because they are bigger.

Good luck with the project.

If I may give a recommendation, at this scale washes, inks and speed paints are quite unforgiving. They work fine if used as glazes, or for localized recess shades. Given the size, hand shading with a brush and opaque paints give a lot more control, and are surprisingly time effective.

WIP Corvus the Censer. The paintjob is done. Once the milliput sets, a bit of glue, some black paint to cover it, and it's done

The perfect mech to go out for a stroll. Looks very good in this cerulean color.

Obskura cleareance – primer alpha version Today I finished a first complete draft of the primer for Obskura cleareance. It’s complete in the sense that it offers a full game experience, from Squad creation to a fully playable mission…

It took a lot, but here is a first draft of a primer for Obskura cleareance, a skirmish game of occult warfare. Feedback is always welcome.

Started working on my first competition piece. A bust that looks like my old dnd Warlock, Corvus the Censer, in a more Warhammery look. Only the pauldron is done so far

Slightly different group shot of the blood ravens. Painted in batch to the same overall standard. It only took two months to make them, but they look awesome

Thank you! The imagifer was waiting in the stash and it was a good chance to paint it. It spawned the head canon that this is a mixed detachment of marines and sisters, both prone to looting, l... Ehr preserving artifacts.
I had not thought about proxy, but it's a nice idea

Thank you! The imagifer was a spare model I had around for a while, and it seemed a nice extra to add.

Thank you! Yes, and totally not intentional. A happy accident of using a lot of blue and purple in the color mixes.

Bases done. Weekend is going to be black rims, and varnish. I can almost taste them being done.

You can take a trick used in real house building. Varnish everything, then apply a fairly thick coat of plaster. When it's still fresh, wipe it with a wet sponge or tissue. The plaster will remain in the crevices, while being washed away elsewhere.
