You can never have too many tutorials on how to paint faces, right? Well, hopefully because here's another one...
This is my general approach to painting human faces. The main example is a 54mm figure but I use the same ideas on 28mm and 75 or 90mm figures. The difference ...by Published on 22-05-2014 02:41 PM- Categories:

Hello once again! It has been some time since my last step by step. Last winter I painted up a great little miniature from Mannequin Miniatures, a goblin assassin named Gorerot. Here is a detailed step by step of how I painted him up.
I initially began with a gray primer and took a photo with ...by Published on 18-03-2014 03:06 AM- Categories:

This article will cover the painting of a 54mm Greek Hoplite from Romeo Models. I’ll be working with acrylic paint, primarily Reaper Master Series (RMS) although I also use some Vallejo Model Air (VMA), GW, and Andrea as well. One thing that attracts me to figures from the ancient and ...by Published on 06-11-2013 01:50 PM Number of Views: 3468- Categories:

A nice, fast and easy way to create an earth base for your miniature using Vallejo paste.
The Vallejo paste which I am using is a mixture of pumice stone and acrylic resin.
The colors I used for this tutorial were calthan brown and bleached bone from Games Workshop.

As soon as the competition was announced and I read James' stipulations on winning the event, I started thinking about what to do. From Infamy range I had Holmes, Watson, Henrietta and Frank so I decided to use them all in a diorama.
Knowing that Infamy is about to become a skirmish game, I also ...by Published on 16-05-2013 04:02 PM- Categories:

One of the things I love to add to my figures is a design or pattern, something unique to make it stand out from the many other versions you may see around the web. This can take the form of a small detail like a line or pattern on a piece of clothing, an emblem on a shield or flag, ...by Published on 06-05-2013 03:44 PM
Painting skin on your models can be tricky and, at times, quite frustrating. But once you get a handle on it, it's actually a lot of fun and gives you plenty of room to experiment. My goal in this tutorial is to share my general approach to painting skin and give you a number of ...by Published on 24-11-2012 02:21 PM Number of Views: 6045- Categories:

Introduction
Arwen is a model I painted this year and entered into GD Germany and UK. She got a finalist in both competitions. In this step by step tutorial I’ll cover everything from prep, basing and painting of both the model and base. I’m always happy ...by Published on 11-09-2012 08:51 PM
Since I was unable to complete the weathering session at the recent Wamp event I was asked if I could translate my plans into a tutorial. Happily I excepted the offer and here it is.
From a weathering perspective I like to build things up step by step in the same way as they would happen in real life. For example, the first step would be for any paint on top of the base coat to chip off leaving the under lying colour showing through. Then in the weathering process undercoat would show up, followed by dark rust spots, grim, rust streaks, oil streaks, dirt and finally worn but shiney metal. In following the natural process the weathering looks pretty convincing and quite realistic.
Of course it's often said that less is more and the same is true of weathering. It's hard to know when to stop and how much is too much. But ...
