One Mini Every Week #46 & #47

Once again, I've fallen behind with my posts (but not my painting) - so here's a quick look at what I've been up to these past couple of weekends...


On the left is another little dwarf mini (THIS ONE from Midlam Miniatures), and just like all the other 'heroes' I've been painting recently, this is another one that I feel has a suitable look for the Age of Shadow setting.

On the right is my first attempt at making something with air drying clay (and I'm using a 1kg packet of DAS that I picked up for £4). I'll admit that it's a very basic piece (and far from perfect) - but I'm happy with it for a first try :)

And finally...


...I've also made a few more (self adhesive) flowers to brighten up my bases a little :)

And that's it for this week. I can't believe that I've almost been at this for a year now, and I'm looking forward to taking a group photograph at the end of 2016 - to see just how much I've managed to get done in the space of a year.

One Mini Every Week #45

For this week's project I've made a couple more pieces of 'creepy forest' scatter terrain, and slapped some paint on another little adventurer mini :)





* * *



The figure is from Midlam Miniatures (THIS ONE), and for some reason I had all sorts of trouble painting this one (though I can't fathom out why - so I must have just been having an off day) ...but it's turned out OK in the end :)


Next up was a little test piece to try and add some large cobwebs to the current set of scatter terrain (which looks kinda OK - but not OK enough to warrant me making more). But, for those who may be interested, the webs were made from a baby wipe that's been left to dry out overnight, and then pulled apart and soaked in PVA glue (much like I did in THIS post, when I made the web covering the spider eggs).


However, I'm much happier with the standing stone that's surrounded by a fairy ring of giant mushrooms (pictured above)...


...and, like before, the stone was just a piece of gravel (stolen) from the garden path, and the mushrooms are two different size 'brads' (i.e. the things you use to pin paper/card together) that have had their prongs clipped off and replaced with pieces of cocktail stick or BBQ skewer.

So, all in all, another productive week on the miniatures front ...or at least it was when measured against my usual snail's pace :)

Dungeon Designer - November 2016

Here's another little transitional (cave to dungeon) geomorph - based on the ongoing request of one of the guys over on Patreon.


And here's a quick look at how all five of these transitional maps look when you piece them all together...


...though they are (of course) compatible with all the other geomorphs I've created over the years.

One Mini Every Week #44

Since I made a few pieces of 'creepy forest' scatter terrain last week, I thought that I would paint up something to haunt that forest for this week's project...


This one is the Reaper Bones Ghost miniature, and it was a nice little mini to paint (I say 'little' but it's a bit larger than most of my other human sized mini's from other ranges - but that's pretty much the same with all Reaper mini's).

I've also noticed that most of the other 'Bones' miniatures that I've painted have become a little sticky/tacky to the touch (and, after looking online, it seems I'm not the only one to have that problem). So for this one I've neither primed nor varnished it - so we'll see if that makes any difference :S

And in addition to the above ghost, I couldn't resist making a few more scatter pieces of terrain...


...and on this last one I've used some cheap resin (£1 from poundland*) with a few spots of Army Painter 'green tone' added to make the little pool.

*it's the same stuff that the guy is using in THIS video (which is where I first heard about it - and so I thought I'd give it a try for myself :) ).
