CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE AUGUST...


but a belated thanks to Marc Santos for the pics at the artists' demo table.


Yep, that's a Star Trek combadge I'm wearing. Decided to start working my way through my Top 10 Geekiest Costumes list this year! Even made a custom phaser with burgundy sparkle paint job. And I already found the velour for an Original Series dress next GenCon...

UPDATES WILL BE COMING SOON. REALLY.


GenCon was, as always, a blast. This year I managed to score Privateer Grand Master for the second time, with a Captain Victoria Haley conversion. My Press Gang diorama also took first in its category. I'll be putting up shots of those and more minis this coming week. In the meantime, here's one quick shot from the con.
Me, Tom Meier, Marike Reimer, out at dinner. Tom never takes his wife to GenCon lest she scare off the fangirls. (Thanks to Jim Ludwig of Dark Sword Miniatures, prince among men and most excellent ho... (more)

GENCON CLASS INFO


I've had some questions about what is actually needed and what's supplied in my workshops at GenCon, so here's a little more information.

It's not at all necessary to paint in the classes. About half of attendees prefer to watch and listen, and about half want to try out a color or effect or technique on the spot. Provided will be the bare minimum for practice: a primed miniature for each participant, foam plate 'palette', water cup, paper towels, medium-quality Taklon brushes, random selection of paint (Reaper and Vallejo, I believe).

Feel free to bring your own mini, as well ... (more)

GENCON 2009


GenCon is fast approaching! Much painting (and a little sewing) to do in the next few weeks. This year I have the honor to be a special guest for the Miniature Hobby Events. Please do not be alarmed by the photo of me on the GenCon site page. This is just how I look at the end of a long convention with no makeup on; I am not actually a drug user nor undead. So far, that is.

NEW PICTURES


Added a new 54mm knight, a couple of Freebooter minis, and a number of models from Dark Sword.

The GRRM Masterworks pieces are all for Martin's personal collection, as is the Crusader. He seems fairly pleased with them.... (more)

SEE YOU IN DENVER


I'll be at GenghisCon 2009 in Denver next weekend (February 13th & 14th). Stop by the painting tables to chat if you like. I'll happily critique miniatures for dark chocolate or lattés (whole milk, extra hot).

NEW AUCTION


Here's a link to my latest auction. I'm having trouble uploading images right now, so the photos are hosted by eBay, unfortunately. A better picture can be seen in my CMON gallery.

RANDOM AUCTIONS THIS WEEK


No painted figures, but a number of odds and ends, mostly Games Workshop. I'm also selling off a couple of unpainted Femme Militant models, which are now out of production and hard to find. You can find my listings here.

NEW PAINTING GUIDES FROM OSPREY & MINIATURE MENTOR


Recent releases:

The latest in Osprey Publishing's Modelling series, 'Modelling Scale Figures.' It includes, in step-by-step pictures, the Rackham goblin ninja I painted earlier this year--the first time this publisher has shown a small fantasy mini. Available through Amazon, as well as some hobby... (more)

NEW REAPER PRO PAINTS


Reaper recently reformulated its old Pro Paint line, and I've finally had a chance to test them out over the past few weeks. Pros: they do exactly what they were designed to do. Cons: they do exactly what they were designed to do.

Like Citadel Foundation Paint, this paint is primarily aimed at army painters. It does have better coverage than the Master Series line or Vallejo Model Colour, with two coats on average for full opacity of most colors. (One is possible with some colors, but I'm picky.) Straight f... (more)
