Stone Tower Miniatures will be offering its first miniature for sale in the near future and I wanted to give everyone a sneak peak. I am very happy to announce that Chris Clayton is the sculptor for this first piece entitled "The Squire." He has been very enthusiastic about this project and has...

I posted this miniature a little while ago but the picture was pretty bad, so I'm posting a much improved picture for some new votes. New CMON voting link

I've got a Sunpak eBox for my light tent which comes with 2 50W Halogen lamps. I just recently bought a Sony e230 DSLR with a macro lens for taking picutres. My camera settings are: iso 100 F18 white balance Daylight Quality Vivid I place the lamps along the side of the light tent and adjust...

My latest diorama piece is now finished. The minis are from Reaper- Pirate Goblin and Powder Monkey. This was my first time sculpting with Sculpey- the ocean floor and dock pieces are all hand made. It's also my first time using clear resin- I added a bit of Asureman Blue to the mix, but I was...

I'm sculpting all of the wooden dock pieces for my Pirate Goblin diorama with Sculpey and I completely finished and baked the first set of parts. I followed the directions for temperature and did an initial bake of 15 minutes. The parts were still maleable- they held their shape, but I could...

This is going to be my entry for the contest over at Reaper. One of my best friends gave me the Pirate Goblin and Powder Monkey set from Reaper and I thought they would be perfect to paint for this. I just have to hope I can fit all the work I have to do in between now and the deadline. For the...

I've been working on this squad for a long time now. I've always liked the design of these minaitures and I finally picekd them up over a year ago so I could write a review of them as my application piece to become a reviewer for WAMP. Took me a lot longer to finally decide to paint them. All...

I finally decided to break in the new sculpting tools my wife bought me for Christmas (she got me the deluxe set from Gale Force 9- I highly reccomend them) so I'm going to be following the Pirate Sculpt tutorial from Musketeer Minaitures. So far I've only completed the first couple of steps-...

I feel pretty fortunate that I actually have the old Wolfen Prowler from Rackham, so I'm following along with the Miniature Mentor Complete Guide, trying to paint this guy to the best of my ability. I'm really hoping to paint him good enough to earn an 8.5 on CMON, so I could use some very...

I recently picked up a commission and started working on the first batch- a group of 25 Black Orcs. My client asked for a scratchbuilt standard, so I took some old green stuff I keep around for rough work or occassions like this and created a tattered flag: I'm trying out some new techniques...

I've been holding onto my AoBR box for a long time now- the Dread's been the only thing out of it I've completed, and that was over a year ago. After watching the Speed Painting tutorial from Miniature Mentor I decided to try out a variation of Thomas David's techniques on my own Ultramarines...

I gave my mother-in-law a miniature for Christmas about 5 years ago and since then my father-in-law has hinted that he would like me to paint one for him, but I could never think of something good until I remembered that he's a little bit of a civil war buff. Once I found out that General Lee is...

Last time I posted something about General Lee everyone expected the car, so I just want to stave off any disappointment by pointing out this thread is about the other General Lee. I painted a miniature for my mother-in-law about 5 or 6 years ago and my father-in-law recently started hinting...

Some of you who have been here for a while may remember this piece. It's a Tyrant of Vile-Tis Wolfen from Rackham (man I miss them). This was the first miniature where I really solicited help from forum members to improve. He's got some problems, but I'm still really proud of him. Voting Link...

This is my take on The Preacher from Kingdom Death. I knew I'd have to my best work to date to stand a chance in this comp, so I chose to do OSL with my entry to try and push my skills. I really love this sculpt, it has a lot of character, and I was having a very hard time deciding on a base...

This is my WIP log for the Kingdom Death contest over at WAMP and I'm painting the Preacher, if the witty thread title didn't give it away. I took a lot of extra time prepping this guy because I'm going to push my skills as far as I can for this project. After doing a little research on...

The armor on this guy and the rest of his squad had been done for some time but I finished the rest of him (cloth, text, power weapon, details, etc.) in two days to get him ready for the Hobby Town model competition that's happening today (the 16th). I debated for a long time between doing the...

I'm preparing to do a commission of some Imperial Guard troops and my client has some a very specific loadout of equipment that he wants. I've gone over it a few different ways and I'm not sure what kits would be best to buy so he can get what he wants without being overcharged. Here's his...

It's been a busy week. Imperial Guard were finished and put on ebay, worked on other projects, and I've also started the next round of minis for sale. Part of that group is the box of Grey Knight Terminators that I picked up and reviewed as one of my audition pieces to become a WAMP Reviewer. I...

So I was putting on the finishing touches to my IG HQ Squad last night, which included water transfers. I prefer to use the decal solvent solution when applying to their curved pauldrons because it helps them conform to the curve better. I wasn't really paying attention because this was the...
