Contrasting May Queens ...

  Very quick post here, just to show orf a slight variation I made to a pack of May Queens from Bad Squiddo Games. Having already painted a set in a traditional folksy style, with off-white gowns and flower garlands in their hair, I thought it would be interesting to paint another set with a more occult dark look to them. I didn't want to be too cliche and go outwardly satanic, but certainly strange, maybe other-worldly. As you can see, I also carefully straightened the staff on one of the figures and added some flames with green-stuff. Nothing outstanding, but I'm reasonably pleased with the result. Part of me wanted the skin tone to be a little more soft grey blue than it turned out, but, again, I quite liked the result. Anyway, that it really. Very short post on how a different colour scheme can change the nature of a model. And I know I'm somewhat biased, but these sculpts lend themselves so easily to variation when it comes to painting. Highly recommend picking up a pa

Stormrider Clan Warriors ... #1

  First selection of models for a commission; beautiful sculpts from Stronghold Terrain of a range of warriors of the Stormrider Clan. Not really much more to say, other than to point out the details to the models. Plenty of scope for creativity should you get some and paint them up yourself. And on to the image dump ...

The Angry and Mysterious Mushroom Men ...

  I was recently lucky enough to be asked to paint a few more models for Annie of Bad Squiddo Games. Something a little different this time ... angry Mushroom Men and the mysterious, long-lived Old Man 'shroom! Annie asked for specific colours and the sculpts ( by Al Maguire ) have some great detail to them and - of course - were a pleasure to paint. You can find the Mushroom Ladz here -

Operation Waterfall ...

Well, this post sort-a, kinda-a flows on (eh? see what I did there) from the last one, in as far as my adventures using resin more regularly. Having managed to salvage a misted pond I'd made, I wanted to make a more competent version of a waterfall I made a while back and cringe a little how I let it go.     At the time, I was reasonably happy with it, but the more I saw of it, the more it made my teeth itch. But I still liked to overall look of the piece ... just the water aspect annoyed me*.     So I dug out the styrofoam and card and set about making another one. But thought I'd keep this one a little more compact and - dare I say - simple. Although this one does have two falls, albeit smaller.     I don't want to completely dump on the previous resin I used, but this second brand (Teexpert) just seems to be playing a little easier with me.           I also used some more of the AK Still Water ... which I can't make my mind up over. I've used it in thin coats wit
