The Sleeping Giant...

Like Japanese Admiral Yamamoto once said about the United States this commission may live up to that quote.  I recently recieved another commission from a regular client in the mail and this one is a doozy.  It features an impressive amount of US miniatures from the Bolt Action range.  It is quite a lot to list but the picture should give you an idea.   As I work on the various parts I will be  gradually revealing tge true enormity of this commission.   There will be some works in progress as I go so I encourage you to check back often.  Here are also some pictures of most of the vehicles from this commission I knocked out yesterday.  Missing is one more M3 Halftrack in need of some replacement parts.  My next assembly project will be the weapons teams.  'MERICA

Green is good

As promised more updates from the various commissions I have been working on.  This one was a small Southern army from Heavy Gear Blitz.   This one was delayed from being posted as the commission was a gift and the recipient was a follower of this blog.  Now that the person in question has received them I can post pictures here. 

The client wanted a simple green, white, and black scheme so I got right to work.  I decided subtle highlights as I find those bright hard edge highlights look silly anf a tad distracting.   I also did a platoon of infantry using the studio scheme.  Enjoy these few pictures.

More Protectors of Ulthuan

It has been quite a while since my last post... too long in fact.  Between Gencon and several commissions I have neglected to post an update so over the next few days expect quite a few updates.

One of my larger commissions to come across my desk lately has been a large High Elf force.  It has been broken down into more manageable commissions but this last batch was quite hefty.  Included in this batch of elves were 53, yes I said 53, Lothern Seaguard,  30 Swordmasters of Hoeth, and a Flamespyre Phoenix with rider options.  It was a daunting task to say the least as I personally think the new plastic Seaguard are very busy and unnecessarily so.  Personal feelings aside they turned out pretty well. 

The Swordmasters went very smoothly and I also converted the standard bearer to carry the Banner of the World Dragon. 

The Phoenix was my favorite of this commission and also the quickest miniature to paint.  After assembly I believe it took my around two and a half hours to paint.  It is a nice plastic kit and one I wouldn't mind painting again.
