Pi-Well Base Build

Awrooo, Woke up the hobby wolf! This week we're having a look at scenic basing. It was a good feeling going hard on a narrative base, feels like it's been a while and it used to be norm for me. So here we are at moment zero, ready to launch into uncharted hobby space. Buckle up and get ready to f...

Kill Team in Progress!

To keep a healthy pace going, I can't record every project. But for that we have a route to still share the work, a blog post.

This is the last commission I have hanging out. A friend of mine who is new to this hobby has been going down the kitbashing rabbit hole and when he asked me to pa...

What's Next?

Next month I'll be working on Torryn the Legen from Blacksun Miniatures and Pi-Well from Infinity.

I have a good batch of tutorials planned for these two projects, they offer a lot of options. Mainly I'm excited about environmental NMM and the painted backdrop, but there is much in betwee...

Adventures in Oil Washing

This time around I'm taking a look at oil washes. Going from soft to overdone on a safe canvas. I can see a lot of potential for this technique if I were to go back and add highlights, weathering powder, the sky is the limit. But in this video I wanted to see the oil by itself to get a good grip ...

The Alchemist Part 1: The Skin

This week we're taking a look at blue flesh. Who knows how the Alchemist became the form you see, he resembles a dark elf, but maybe that's all an accident. The dedicated know that learning is built on failure. Enjoy!

Apologies for the bit of noise in the intro/outro, I live out in the cou...

Kruleboyz Complete Process

Greeting fellow swamp dwellers. In this weeks installment I'm still hot on the Dominion train.

Lazarus: Embellished Cape

Happy timezone! The world of miniatures is replete with capes and cloaks, everywhere I turn there is a fine linen flowing in the breeze, begging for some freehand.

Before I parted ways with Lazarus I took one more trip round the paint statin with him, enjoy the ride and I hope it serves t...

Update: Fields of Strife

Still smokin! Slowly I've been chipping away at this project. Dioramas are the pinnacle of miniature painting, I feel, but man are they a challenge. Its pretty much maximum difficulty in every category. Dramatic words but it requires a longer lasting dedication.

So here we are with a litt...

Bonus Basing Blast From the Past!

Ahoy wayward traveler! In this video I'm pulling up an older tutorial I made. It was a different time, I didn't have nearly the level of equipment I have now, like a PC and DSLR camera for starters. But being a basing video the color balance isn't too crucial. So sit back and enjoy the bonus feat...

Accidentally Observed

As I work through projects I'm constantly taking pictures of the stages for my own reference and sharing them out. Surprising, I know. But I find another value in these pictures, it provides me a fixed perspective on the light situation. These models are 3 dimensional but we are aiming to create ...
