Return to Africa?

Hi all,

A mini return to Africa this time. I wish i could spend more time in this awesome genre but my brush is needed elsewhere unfortunately. This explorer is from Foundry and is some of Mr Copplestones work i believe. He is a commision piece and i hope the owner will be pleased with him.

Im still working through the Artizan Kiss Kiss Bang Bang range and hope to have a few more pics before i send them off to the customer. These really are some awesome miniatures and i cant wait to see what else they come up with for them.

Other than this im working on some Warmachine bits and preparing for another commision to arrive.

Busy Busy Busy!

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Hi,

Well real life is going well. A`couple of weeks into the new job and im really enjoying it. But the good thing is that it seems to be giving me more time to get some painting done - woop!

So ive had a few new comissions come in that im working on, one of which is for some Artizan Kiss Kiss Bang Bang minis - three of which you can see pictured above. Ive been wanting to work on this range for so long and it was a pleasure when i was approached to paint them.

Really enjoying working on them, some great characters in the range and im looking forward to hopefully doing some of the Copplestone sculpts also.

Cheers
Rob

Start of Thrilling Tales

Hi,

So with my new "real life" job / career comes the need for more funds so i can eat and have a roof over my head. That means i need to dip back into my "for sale" box and start ebaying. I found a load of Artizan thrilling tales minis and they will do nicely

So first up is the mini pictured above known as Mr Price. I really enjoyed painting him and its a shame i cant keep him in my own collection. I wouldnt have used him for pulp type games i think, i would have used him in my Old west games as a prospector or townsman. Artizan are really good quality sculpts and im looking forward to working on the thrilling tales minis i have, even tho i wont be keeping them.

He will be on eBay in the middle of the week along with another if i get it finished.

What else is on the table? Another warmacine mini for my Menoth force and some Musketeer Miniatures sculpts from their IWI range for a friend.

Cheers

Menoth - now with added lightning

Ok so i finally had a chance to paint some of my Warmachine mountain ( and my god is it turning into a mountain...) Really glad i found the time to get this guy done, as soon as i saw him i wanted to paint him and he was a blast to work on!

For those who dont follow /play Warmachine the mini above is the Mercenary solo Orin Midwinter. He used to be a Cygnar inquisitor but has since turned rogue and is lending his services to other factions. Rules wise im still getting used to him. Hes got some great abilities that can really null the enemies magic. Oh and did i mention he brings lightning to menoth?

Ive got some pics of minis from my Menoth collection which il try and post up. Warmachine is an ongoing project that i dip into when i can.

Whats up next? Still working on some minis for Foundry, Warmachine where i can fit it in, and possibly another commision that im very excited about.

Cheers
Rob

keep on Bloggin'

Its been a while since the last update, sorry about that. So whats been going on with RJ and his painting? Well ive had alot going on, just finished a big comission and im in the middle of another. One of the minis in the comission is the Swashbuckler featured above. Ive got a few other commisions lined up but if you are interested in me doing a bit of painting for you just drop me an email and we can talk.

In terms of my own projects ive been touching on alot of things rather than focusing on anything specific. Im kinda doing this so i dont lose interest with anything too fast! So im currently working on 6mm Dark Realm Sci-Fi, GHQ WWII micro armour, West Wind Secrets of the third Reich and Renegade WWI,. Ive loooooooots more projects aswell but these are the ones that currently have my attention.

So the mini above is (i think) a Black Cat Pirate / Swashbuckler. First time ive painted a miniature from Black Cat and Im fairly impressed. Nicely cast and sculpted with lots of detail in the face.

More to come soon

Pirates of the...err..Internet?

Hi all,

Another mini from the "random" box. This is Mad Jim Jones from Black Scorpions Pirate range. This guy was great fun to paint, sooooo much character on him. Really enjoyed working on his face in particular. Dont have any more pirates planned for the near future but who knows what else i might find lying around!

Cheers

Pinkertons

Ok so here are some Artizan Pinkerton Detectives ive recently finished. These guys arent for my Personal collection, they are destined for eBay sometime soon. Had real fun painting them, good practice on long coats!

So ive started playing 15mm Napoleonics (thanks G.O.G's - you know who you are...) so expect some pics of those sometime soon. Im painting quite randomly at the moment so im working on anything that takes my fancy. Means i will touch on all those projects but will i ever get one finished?! hmm....

cheers

Rob
