This past Saturday (Sept 8) I participated in the NCMSS Show here in Washington DC. I entered 7 miniatures into the competition and received a bronze for my Thief of Hearts, which was pretty neat considering I had painted her to attempt and get a prize at the APG show, this past Summer. Robert E. Lee came away with another honorary mention. I'm happy. Special congrats go to WAMP's MamaGeek (Joy Schoenberger), Shades (Mike) and Jim (who I just met at the show!) for the rewards you guys got.

Here's what I have so far:



I started on the actual figure tonight, putting 3 hours alone into the skin tones. ...

Last night I put Dark Sword’s Thief of Hearts together. She was quite a challenge, I must admit.

She is completely put together, prepped (liquid green stuff filling in the gaps between where body parts are glued in), and primed.

I was able to finish the mermaid in time before my parents returned home this past Monday. I ended up working very late into the night on the blends and everything to get her as perfect as I could. Here she is!

I glued some tiny seashells along the bottom of the base and also put two tiny ones on the top, with the mermaid.. kinda giving the effect of having some of her "sea friends" with ...

I finished the mermaid figure itself by painting the rocks that she was sitting on as well as the little crab that is pinching her (Yes, that is why she has that strange expression on her face! LOL). The rocks were quite a challenge because I had to paint around all the finished work of her tail, which was the hardest part of her to do. I did pretty well, though, with just getting some paint on the hand from the under-coating of black paint that I added to the rocks at first. (see video listed below). ...
