Blog discription

What will you find here? Ramblings from an aging gamer-miniature painter. When I first started out in this hobby computers were in their infancy and finding other gamers could only be done by going to conventions or as in my case bumping into somebody who happened to see me reading "Panzer Leader" on the school bus. Look how far we have come! The internet has allowed our small community to be able to connect on a level I never dreamed of when I was but a small lad. What I do hope you will find here is something interesting from one wargamer/miniature painter to another. I paint miniatures somewhat decently, so I will be posting some pictures of my work, and perhaps a review or two of games and/or miniatures. Most of all this is just about having fun and anything I post here is meant to be for that reason.

Infinity: Nomads... Mobile Brigada

Not sure if I like the direction I went with this one. I wanted more Red to Orange highlight instead of the red to white. The last picture here shows a size comparison to give you a feel of the different pieces in the range, but also shows an Alguacile so you can see what I mean about red to white highlights etc.


I am having fun painting these as well as experimenting. Sometimes I feel like I am on the edge of a breakthrough with my painting, that I am discovering something new, and then it fades away. Just have to keep tooling away and hope I get better with the practice. What is fun is painting just one figure and moving on to a different one. Hopefully it will help me when I need to paint a dozen at a time. Time will tell.

Cheers
Kevin

    Looking good! Having read your blog from start to finish, I would probably say that the main thing that I have seen improve would be your control over the paint. Highlights in the right spots, etc.

      Steven that has got to be the best compliment I've gotten on my blog. That you took the time to look closely is most appreciated. As a painter I don't always feel like I'm progressing or learning. So thank you, and I hope you found my ramblings entertaining as well:)

      Cheers

    Experimenting just makes you grow in different directions and strengthens you. Which shows a true artist. I don't see your flaws/ I see wonderful pieces of art. Love you bro

      Thanks Terri, I agree and always hope. I have to say the story you shared with me about one of your students really warmed my heart. That just showing him some of my toys helped make his day a little better, brought an unexpected joy I never could have imagined with my hobby.
