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. 

Protectors of Ulthuan

It has been quite a while since my last post and I apologize to those readers who have stuck it out in my absense.  I have been very busy with commissions since my last post and sadly most I was unable to post about due to client request.  I did however finish a rather sizeable High Elf force for Warhammer Fantasy.  This commission contained 20 High Elf Archers, 20 High Elf Spearman, 16 Silverhelms, a White Lion Chariot, and two named characters.  The Spearman were given the quivers so they can play double duty as Lothern Seaguard.  These were painted to match a past figure I painted for this client.  I am pleased with how these turned out so I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed painting them.

More Sourthern Gears...

This week saw me knocking out another commission and this one was for Craven Games.  Craven Games is a website that does reviews and the like.  They have commissioned me before to do some work for them so when they asked if I could paint some more for them I agreed.  This was more Heavy Gear miniatures and they wanted me to match a previous paint scheme as close as possible.  The client decided to assemble the miniatures themselves so after giving some specific instructions regarding assembly for painting purposes they shipped me the assembled miniatures.  I quickly got to work after enacting some slight repairs to the miniatures and here is the result. 

My other car is a SdKfz 222...

This is going to be a short post with pictures from the recently completed commission.  This one is a SdKfz 222 armored car and was a common scout vehicle used by the German Army in World War II.  I painted this one in the same scheme as the other two German vehicles.  Enjoy!

More Germans...

Following up on my post yesterday here is more pictures of the completed German tanks from the Bolt Action range.  This one is the Panzerjager 38T, better known as the Hetzer.  This is actually one of my favorite German tanks and maybe moreso than the humble Stug.  This one was painted in the same scheme as the Stug and upcoming SdKfz 222.  I enjoyed painting this one and here was the result.

While working on the client's Hetzer I was inspired to finally put paint on to my own Hetzer.  I decided to go a different route and went with Late War Ambush camouflage which is my favorite German camouflage pattern.  This one is still a work in progress but you can see how it is coming along so far.

Zee Germans are coming!

After a long time away from the Blog I have brought you a long awaited update.  I have finished quite a few commissions since my last update and so I will be posting pictures of them over the next few days.  This is the first of several posts focusing on the recently completed German tanks from the Bolt Action range.  To begin is the Stug III G which is one of my favorite German tanks of the war behind the humble Hetzer.  This one features a simple two tone camo scheme and shows some wear and tear as befits a hard fighting tank.
