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.

Arena Rex: Hermes

 I absolutely hate painting skin. A face and hands, okay. Half naked Gauls, Greeks, Gladiators, not okay.

I trudged on, and did the best okay for the moment. One day, hopefully, a light bulb will come on and it will be like, this wasn't so hard.

This bad boy is Hermes. A couple pics of him and one of him standing next to Atrox the Tiger. Oh and I included Urbicus with Atrox as well. 






I have a about three or four Gladiators left to paint up for my Ludus, and then it's up to my friends to keep up their part of the bargin.

As always thanks for looking.

Cheers 
Kevin

    Great job. I really like what you did on the shield. That is a major tiger.

      Thanks Dave, instead of NMM approach I tried metallics with a heavy soft brown wash and light silver dry brush. I liked how it came out to.

      Yes that Tiger is like a God Tiger. It’s a surprise for Rob when his gladiator comes to close to the hidden trap door in sand. Yes I am shamelessly stealing this idea from the movie Gladiator.

      Cheers
