Gave the smoke cloud on this Warcrow Orc assassin a little more...oomph today

Work in Progress of a practice piece I was messing around with last night, trying to get more focused volumes without having the darker areas look like they were completely unfinished. basically an exercise in giving myself 'room to manoeuvre' with the brightness 🤣

Turnaround of the Ford Diorama so folks can get a better look at whats going on #scalemodelling #car #miniaturepainting

Ford Escort Mk1, one owner from new, never raced or rallied, full service history, possibly haunted.

Warhammer 40K Space Wolf Scout Kill Team I finished a little while ago. went with a more volumetric approach to the armour using Pro Acryl Newsh medium, which is great stuff

Wip of a ruined ford diorama i've been working on lately, got the car glued down last night, so after work today I can start detailing, adding foliage/moss etc!

I finally got around to putting up another video! youtu.be/aHDRdfCB5is

Recent diorama completed for a 'taskmasters' challenge on the Mini Matters podcast discord, theme was two figures but not a duel, closer to something from a movie poster. The legs of the one skelly are actually part of the statue from a nighthaunt character's base

Short 'reel' style video of how to make realistic Moss and getting the best out of Dirty Down Moss. Hopefully it looks ok here I don't know what the ideal video dimensions are for Bluesky. #diorama #warhammer #modelling

Aethon Shaan, the Master of Shadows. Finished him this week (I think anyway, when you paint toy soldiers for a meagre living, days sort of merge together). Entered him into the Squidmar open as well, along with the Triceratops, which for obvious reasons went into the large scale category.

First hobby completion of the new year is actually something of mine rather than the usual commission projects, makes a change. Tamiya triceratops, a really old sculpt from back before they used 3d to sculpt their animals. #dinosaur #Jurassicpark

As a full time painter I really don't abide by holiday breaks, but I do break out the personal stuff to mess around with, like this tamiya triceratops display I'm working on. I'm recording the basing though as it may interest some people #dinosaurs

PaintSlam goes into a new year with #PaintSlam25! The website at paintslam.com has been updated for the new year with new downloads, and I've attached them here for you too. Including a png logo in case you want to put it on your work when you post it!

Burrows and Badgers miniatures from Oathsworn minis. Loads of fun to paint, they don't have that nagging feeling you should be doing it a 'certain way' like gw minis do.

Finally got a photo set up that gives half decent results. Just in time to capture the result of a 2 ish hour exercise in getting a strong look without spending hours on refinement and detail, those I can always add later. #warhammer #skeleton #deathrattle

An actual recent (as in a day or so ago, not the usual 'several months ago because I forgot') finished commission of a Deathwatch Killteam, came out pretty well!

A selection of space marine heads painted up for a Deathwatch commission, which at the time of posting is undergoing the final few touches (should be hitting the photobooth tomorrow at some point) #warhammer40k #deathwatch

Chaos space marine Master of Possession I finished not that long ago. I never seem to link possession with him taking over other people, so the head canon for him is just a dude that collects stuff, like fire and skulls #warhammer40k #chaos #spacemarine

In case it wasn't clear what kind of hobby gremlin I am, I'm,amongst other things, trying to learn 3d modelling at the moment. So far I'm quite far along with a bug mech kind of thing, and started a sci-fi vehicle last night as a little project I can tinker with when I run into problems on the bug.

Yet again trying to catch up with posting on bluesky, and there's a fair bit to post. Illuminor Szeras was one I really enjoyed! Especially playing around with the green power blade. #necron #nmm #miniaturepainting

Joan of Arc from Infinity Panoceania. Tricky to paint because she's really tiny, even for a wargaming figure. #infinity #corvusbelli

I am not built for hot weather, but I fought through and finished Lhykhis 🤣 #warhammer40k #aeldari #eldar

Final photos of the finished Ultramarine ancient #warhammer40k

Quick #howto for painting parchment and space marine purity seals #warhammer40k

Here's some Horus Heresy goodness for a Tuesday afternoon, some Veltaris Storm Section I painted up for Siege Studios a couple of months ago. The scheme is to tie-in a solar auxilia force with a blood angels army, and quite honestly they look good in red. #horusheresy #warhammer30k #warhammer

Another part of catching up with the backlog, an Aeldari war walker that was done a few weeks ago. Base was made with some old air dry clay that I'd rolled out flat and kept, ready to break sections off for situations like this.

Just finished up Maugan Ra, the harvester of souls himself! #warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #aeldari

Built up a bit of a backlog of stuff I've been working on, but we'll start with old school Eldrad Ulthran. Mixed the scheme with bits I liked from both the original model and the newer version, which seemed to work quite well! #warhammer #aeldari #eldar #40k

If you only do one thing today, let it be this one: Fill the government consultation on a/i #makeitfair #paythecreators 🚨Deadline is today 25/02/25 at midnight 🚨 ⚠️ It’s not too late! ⚠️ It will take 5 mins if you follow this link: againstthebox.substack.com/p/time-to-ha...

Working on the camo for some Aeldari Rangers at the moment, not looking too bad, needs a bit of tidying up before shades and highlights go on though. #warhammer40k #aeldari

I try to paint and sell stuff on eBay as much as time allows, but I never seem to get a handle on what sells because I don't game. However,I know Aeldari are, to quote Mugato 'So hot right now'. So to fund some of the newer kits I can paint/sell, I'll have to start with some quite old stuff #aeldari

I set up a better photo area on a bookshelf near the painting desk a couple of days ago, and whilst I've never been the best photographer and dislike taking photos with a fairly intense passion, the results so far aren't too bad, although the light from the top needs to be brighter I think.

Did a little turnaround of the Contemptor Dreadnought as the last thing for this year

This needs to be shared for UK folks.

Spent today finishing up the Sons of Horus dreadnought with oils and enamels. Went quite light on the armour as it's a 'for sale' piece but still fun #horusheresy #warhammer40k #gamesworkshop #paintingwarhammer

Starting the chipping process on the armour. Easiest to start on the legs as they need the heaviest wear and tear so I can get it out of my system and not overdo the upper areas 🤣

Found time to work on something I can actually show, even if it is just something for eBay. Spent a bit of time getting slightly better photos and also tinkering with the pressures/paint consistency of the airbrush trying to get a smoother application. Not a terrible result on either counts tbh

Quite pleased that my channel on YouTube has hit 4000 subscribers! it's been a little while since I've done something for it, but hopefully that will change in the coming weeks with a little Sons of Horus thingamabob YouTube.com/@nofixedcourse

After a long time of not recording videos due to work and then illness, I finally fired up the camera to start on the Sons of Horus dread last night

These are rather lovely, the Necromunda minis never cease to impress me

WIP for the next eBay paintjob, as space marine stuff is likely to sell better than the other stuff! Sons of Horus Contemptor Dreadnought, the base will get sculpted into a ruined city base but I wanted a slightly more dynamic pose than what you normally see. #horusheresy #warhammer40k #warhammer

These.are..amazing!

@gonders.bsky.social posted up his Star Phantom Terminator the other day (lovely work too) and noted that you don't see them all that often. I painted one a couple of years ago, so there's at least two in the wild now 😂 #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer

Finally finished Yndrasta The Celestial Spear! I'm not the best photographer, but I did what I could. Really would like to do a NMM version of her in the future. #warhammer #warhammercommunity #miniaturepainting #aos

Hello new Bskies and fresh followers! Just a reminder that we small Indie creators and artists don't have shareholders to satisfy, just bills to pay. And that while Likes are lovely, Reposting stuff is the best way to help with visibility for us. If you see models or art you love, please share!

Messing around with a base and got sidetracked with what was originally supposed to be a pool of water and turned into....whatever this is. #warhammer #ageofsigmar #basing

New airbrush day!! Only a super cheap one, but it should keep me going until I can splash out on something like a Harder & Steenbeck #airbrush

Terrible photo but this is the project specifically for eBay that will stop me wanting to repaint the pale Ork. Might have to get another one afterwards because now I want to do an nmm version 🤣 ADHD and hobbying can be a nightmare sometimes
