    Joek's attempt to start a mini company.

    I though about putting this up in the News section, but it's kinda 'non'-news just at the moment, so general seemed better :) So, back in November '09 I finally decided to get the money together and see if I could commission a sculpt and get it cast up. I'm afraid to say I was swayed greatly by...

    Companies who cast in resin?

    Well, it's not going to be for a while, but I've been taken with the idea (for quite a while now really) of creating a (very) small mini company up and running, and producing really high quality resin models. I've tentatively started to google around and see what comes up, and whilst there...

    Swooping Hawk.

    My first foray into the weird world of Eldar. Never painted one before, and quite honestly I\'m in no rush to paint another one - too. many. gems! Still, I\'m happy enough with the end result, although the snow on the Hawk himself didn\'t quite work out as well as I hoped :D If you\'d care...

    Ultramarine Terminator

    One more Termie for the road it would seem ;) Enjoyed this one a lot really. No real fancy stuff, just a good exercise to get the blending a bit better, and to have fun with coloured pastels on the base ;) Vote link\'s up for anyone with the urge :) HERE

    Ultramarine Terminator

    Can\'t escape them it seems :) Bit of a personal project really, just having a bit of fun. Really want to get the blues as good as I can (or until I get bored - whichever one comes first ;) ). Main thing is the contrast I want between the base colours and the blues of the marine. Not happy...

    Wood Elf Lord

    Well, this was a bit of a test to myself really. In over 25 years of painting (admittedly with about a 15 year gap in between ) I\'d never ever painted an elf. I\'ve never been a fan of High Elves (I swear, in reality anyone who wore the helmets they wear would be sinking in the ground due to...

    Wood Elf Lord

    I do love this sculpt, and as I\'ve never painted an elf in all the many years I\'ve attempted to paint, I thought I\'d give it a bash. Wanted the green to be more \'leafy\' in colour than the bright greens you tend to see on it (and it makes a change from Ultramarines ;) ). I think he\'s coming...

    Five Ultramarine Vets...

    After what seems like an eternity, these five Veterans are finished. I always enjoy painting up Smurfs, but I\'m glad they\'re done. Happily, the client is happy - which is nice :) If you care to vote, you can do so HERE WIP shots can be found HERE Thanks guys :)

    Space Marine Veterans.

    Currently I\'m doing a commission of seven Veteran figures in Ultramarine livery. There\'s a couple of Mk2 ones, couple of Vanguards, and some chapter masters in the mix. All I can say it\'s a damn good thing - a)I don\'t do commissions on a regular basis and (b)my client is in no rush for them...

    Chaos champion of Khorne.

    Finished the wee man! Fairly happy with the result, although as is always the way if I had the patience and urge to do so, there\'s always something to correct! Hey ho! Votey Link Here! W.I.P thread here.

    Khorne Champion.

    This was bought on a bit of a whim - love the sculpt and the pose. Lots more work needed on the face, the cape, the arm...erm...pretty much everywhere ;)

    Test Tau

    This was done as a test to a diorama project I have in mind for later on in the year. Primarily it was a way to work out colours for a martian/desert scheme, along with a suitable colour for the Tau itself. In the end, the best colour was remarkably close to the standard codex colours found all...

    Test Tau.

    I have a project in the idea stage at the mo\', which I want to get done throughout the year - well, I\'ve given myself GD:UK to get it done (wether or not I do is a moot point really). Purely for fun, and to test myself in colours I haven\'t really used that much before. This actually meant...

    Lightbulb moments in a painters life.

    The wonderful thing about the painting hobby for me is that I\'m always, always learning and improving. It\'s one of the most satisfying things I do. With this in mind, I\'d be very interested to hear what fellow painters thing have been their \'lightbulb\' moments - what techniques they...

    Why oh why do I use eBay?

    I\'ve been a seller on eBay for years, with 100% feedback etc. Despite my objections with using Paypal, I\'ve obviously had to most of the time and everything has gone through fine (well, aside from the bugger who conned me out of £250 when I sold my mobile a few years back, but once bitten...

    Desert scenes.

    Can anyone recall any cracking desert scene dioramas at all? I\'m trying to get some resources together for a project, and whilst I\'ve got a load of lovely photos of deserts and stuff, I\'d quite like to see some mini stuff done with this in mind. Thanks folks!

    Ork grot herder...

    Or something like that... This is going be the last ork/goblin I do for a little while, but in order to finish the group I just had to have a go at the Ork boss/herder chap. I\'m going be spending some quality time with this one though - whether the end result will justify it, I don\'t know...

    Your first Games Day...

    I was flicking through my old GW \'Fantasy Miniatures\' book from 1990, and I suddenly remember that it was by happy conincidence the first GD event I\'d ever been to. I\'d completely forgot my excursion to the Derby Assembly halls all those years ago. It all then came back to me - the huge...
