I was inspired by the techniques I saw in the 7 Day Army Painter DVD and picked up a new airbrush and a Valkyrie of my own. CMON Voting Link It's also up for sale on ebay

In between all my other projects I decided I really wanted to paint a Valkyrie. I have never painted a 40k vehicle before and I was inspired after watching CMON's 7 Day Army Painter dvd- which was great, btw. The bird was fully assembled last night and the primer is currently drying, so I'll...

For my next competition project, I'm preparing some of the "pirate" kids from Hasslefree. The first thing I did after receiving them was chop off the blades and add some cylindrical plasticard to create the lightsaber blades. Once I got that done they started to look much better. My plan is to...

Over the weekend I received photos from Ian Mountain, the sculptor who just finished the Gear Slave. Here's a peek at the figure: Full view photos will be available after I receive the piece and then I'll be sending it off for casting. He's 28mm scale, which makes him a perfect substitute as...

I am going to be teaching a miniature painting for beginners class on Saturday, August 6th. This class is being hosted by The Grinning Gamer and will be from 2 to 4. The class will be instruction and a paint along, allowing all the participants to try out what they learn as I teach. All...

I've wanted to do this diorama for a while now, and finally had a reason due to the recent Darksword contest over at WAMP. The wolf is a Darksword Hunting Wolf. I painted him with the markings of a red wolf. The bunny is from one of Reaper's familiar packs. The rocks were created with pine...

This is my entry for the Darksword contest over at WAMP. I decided to put Sansa in a winter scene because of how it works with the beginning of the books, but I also felt that having her standing alone in the cold fit the character really well for everything she goes through. I put the tree...

For my first entry in the Darksword painting contest over at WAMP I've decided to work on Sansa Stark. It's a great little sculpt and I'm planning on incorporating her into a little winter dio scene. So far the skin and her cloak are the only things I would call done. Her skin was a really big...

I was wondering if anyone knows of any good tutorials or references for painting feathers and wings?

I've always wanted to paint one of the really gritty and violent fantasy orcs from GW,and I managed to pick up an old metal Gorbad Ironhide on the cheap at a LHS down in Atlanta. I really like this sculpt- there are a lot of open areas to play around on and I plan on trying a bunch of new things...

I got in a conversation with a guy at my LHS and he mentioned the idea of airbrushing on Army Painter Quick Shade. He said it could be done by dilluting it with just Tamiya airbrush thinner, but this seems dubious to me. I've been looking for articles or posts on this subject and haven't found...

I'm working on a Grey Knight Paladin squad from the new series. They were fun to put together and I really like the models. I just finished highlighting the armor at this point- I'll be going back to clean up and add in some darker shadows where needed later. I apologize if the white background...

This is my version of the Alys and Pussycat mini from Hasslefree, which I did following along with Iacton's Paint Masters series. I sculpted the mushroom and cast the plinth using one of my wife's candle molds. The grass was soem fake grass from my local craft store that I painted over and the...

I am proud to announce the premier miniature for my company Stone Tower Miniatures: The Squire, which is available for presale through our Kickstarter project. The Squire was sculpted in 1/35th scale (54mm) by Chris Clayton and portrays the scene of a young man wielding his master’s blade, a...

I need to sculpt some fire for a new commission, so I've done a few test pieces using slightly different techniques. The GS is still rough in a few places because I didn't want to spend a lot of time perfecting test pieces. I'd appreciate some feedback so I can know if I'm on the right track...

I finally managed to finish this commission. My client bought 3 squads of Karskins from some mook on ebay who slathered them with so much black primer that 3 24 baths in Simple Green couldn't get rid of it all. They were also terribly ugly casts with a lot of slag, horrible mold lines and...

If you didn't know, Scott Hockley has done a Paint Masters over at WAMP. It's where we follow his step by step for painting a mini as a learning project. For this one he did Alys and Pussycat from Hasslefree miniatures. I'm following his guide for creating the base as well, which is a mushroom...

I picked up another commission from the same guy I did some Imperial Guard Shock Troops for a while ago- this time it's Karskins. The color palette is being kept the same as the previous group so his army looks the same, which means I'm using Quick Shade again (I love this stuff). These shots...
