Hey everyone! I've got a blog which isn't strictly about painting but more about my day-to-day life in Nottingham, however, since painting is my profession I thought some of you might be interested in it anyway even though I can't and won't talk about what I'm actually painting. There will be...

Hi, I just finished this vampire dude. I decided to paint it NMM becasue I haven\'t done much of that lately, and I also wanted a contrast between cold and warm colours. The skin and armour is painted with quite cold colours and white highlights, whereas I\'ve used warmer tones for the wing and...

Hi, I finally decided to finish this classic Brian Nelson sculpt. It\'s been sitting on my desk forever, but now into the cabinet it goes! Hope you like it :) Cheers, Anja edit: yeah I\'m going down that route now, here\'s the ebay listing...

Hi everyone, this is my latest piece, a commission based upon my CMON contest entry, but changed to be more Mordheim inspired. I spent some extra time on the base, which I think came out pretty cool. I also painted the emblem from the back of the Mordheim rulebook on the cloak, and added some...

Hi, it\'s been a while but I finally have something finished other than workstuff. This is one of John Blanche\'s Femme Militants, called Mary Bones, and I really enjoyed painting her. I know the pics aren\'t the best, I\'ll try to get some better ones, but at least you get the idea. And I...

Hi everyone. I have now finished the devourers, and am heading off to England in a few days, so this\'ll be my last minis here for a while. I don\'t really know what to say about them, other than that I enjoyed paintng them a lot, and I am really happy with how they look together. This is...

Hi again! Here\'s the second head hunter, which gave me a lot more trouble than the first as I had to fade from very light skin to very dark, and still highlight the different skintones without losing the contrast. Here he is: Head Hunter 2 Hope you like him, next up is Zeïren, hopefully...

Next mini is Head Hunter 1. What can I say, lovely mini to paint. Head Hunter

My latest commission is an Ultramarine Veteran, and a very blue Ultramarine it is. Inititally I was going to paint a whole squad of the new marine models, but now that I got that new job, I only had time for this one. I really like painting space marines. I never thought I would, but I do. Vote...
