Here is a Sorscha that I painted up for a charity event a little while ago. I went with some colors that I knew rather well (I had used a very similar red on my Frog Champion I did for Gencon’s competition). While she was quite a bit of fun to paint, I found that ...

It seems like it has been too long since I’ve posted up the title characters in our Zombie Wedding Cake Toppers. So here they are, in all their glory. This set was made to match a groomsman and two brides maids (one is the maid of honor, hence the dresses do not match one another). ...

I recently painted up King Starfire. He’s a leveled up version of the boss dragon from the core set- and he’s a pretty sizeable mini. I rather enjoyed painting him up, and I felt that the starscape worked very well on him. I used a simpler version of the starscape patterns on the original Starfire’s ...

The last time my family all went into a game store together, my two year old loved looking through the Bones minis. She even selected one for her mommy and one for me. It was cute (even though we didn’t get any of them at the time). But it turns out that her mommy was ...

The tuxedo is definitely wonderful apparel, but it isn’t always suited to every situation. As an example, here are some cake toppers I’ve done with less formal wear for the grooms:

This Studio McVey mini was quite intimidating to paint. I am always in awe of the sculpting talent of Jacques Alexandre Gillois, but sometimes the details he’s able to pull off are so very tiny. And the casting was so crisp. Honestly, she’s a wonderful example for the superiority of resin for detailed miniature casting. ...

Well, I’ve been spending quite a bit of my hobby time with Super Dungeon Explore minis, and I’ve got a few more to show off. My wife painted up her coven witch and skull bats first, so I felt that I needed to come up with something different for them. I decided that I preferred ...

For those of you who haven’t seen them before, Pulp City has a pretty groovy range of super hero minis. They’ve been around for quite a while, and really have some of the best range of supers out there. They also fit in well with the super heroes from Reaper’s Chronoscope range- for example: And ...

I’ve had quite a few cake toppers over time that express a couple’s interests in videogames. And I’d like to share a few with you. We’ll start out with one where she’s got the upper hand against a zombie horde: And there’s a design that I’ve started calling kissing gamers. We have quite a bit ...

This is a mini that started life as a resin statue. I’ve done a few of these, and I find that they can turn out pretty nice. For the record, the original simply has a bronze colored drybrush on it to create a sort of patina look. I also had to do a little re-sculpting ...
