Super Figs

Most of these models are made by fourcolorfigs.com, they are called super figs. They make a wide variety of generic super hero miniatures. They group of yellow robots are manufactured from various companies. As for painting the models, it was a pretty straight forward project. All I really had to do was mix up the colors so they did not all look the same, to give them variety. They were painted using a different style then I normally paint. This is because they are wearing skin tight suits ,so edge highlighting would not look right on them. I took ideas from various superhero universes, so you might recognize some of the paint schemes. They were all based with the same gravel earth so they can be used in an urban environment, since most heroes fight in the city or close to it. I am very happy with how they turned out and really enjoyed getting more practice using colors that I normally don't use very often. Once again another project finished and more to come. So keep checking back for more projects. Also, I want to thank all those people who come and visit my blog and check out my work. Thanks for the support and interest, I appreciate it. Till next time.

Star Wars Miniatures

This project consisted of some quite old and hard to find Star Wars miniatures from when the movie was firt released way back in the 70's. The models were attacked to the old style lead base attached to the bottom of the model. I did not want to remove the piece because it would hurt the structure of the model andd make them a little more fragile the n they already are. So they were left intact and attached directly to a standard 30mm base. As for the paint job it was a pretty straight forward project and all the models were painted in the same fashion as they appear in the movies. I really enjoyed painting these models since Star Wars is something I am a big fan of. The models were all based either on Tatooine desert, Endor Moon Forest, or the deck of an Imperial Ship. There are more of these models to come in the near future. More projects to bee posted very soon.

Star Trek Miniatures

Well it has been a while since I posted on my blog and I do plan to post more often. I was swamped with many projects and most of them have now been finished. So over the next week or so there will be many posts and pictures. This was one of the many projects that I had been working on over the last few weeks. These are some older Klingon and Star trek models and they were a nice change to what I normally paint.  The Star trek models were painted in the older 1960's style that was seen on the tv show. As for the klingons they were painted in the more modern style that we see on he tv show now days. Overall they turned out pretty well. More to come and there will be some 40k posts in the next week or so before I leave for Gamesday in Baltimore.

Man O war ships - Empire and Bretonians & FASA Star Trek ships

Hello again followers. I have just recently finished some Man-O-war ships and some Fasa Star Trek ships. The Star Trek ships are a lot of fun to paint and a nice change to all the Warhammer models I paint. They are fairly easy to build and sometimes they require almost no assembly. Overall though I very happy with how they turned out and look forward to painting more of them. They are old and quite hard to find. As for the Man o War ships, the two factions are the Empire, with skulls on the sails and the bretonians have the iron cross. All the masts were made from soldering two pieces of brass wire  together to make them stronger, since the original ones were made from plastic and paper and broke quite easily during game play. The sails are made from a thin plasticard and were all hand painted. I think they turned out a lot better then the original paper. As for the completed ships they are a lot stronger then they were. Once again another solid project finished. Please feel free to leave your comments and feedback.

Random Miniatures - Friend Collection.

 

Lately I have been asked to paint all sorts of different types of models that are not at all related or part of the 40k universe, but I never turn away a chance to paint something different. My friend always seems to bring  models that really get me excited and I always have fun painting them. I only paint the models he does the bases. I am not familiar with all of the above the models, I do know that there is an old Games workshop Aragorn model near the top, but as for the others not to sure. They are all really nice models and most of them are hard to come by nowadays. Overall once again I am very happy with how the turned out and so was my friend. More to come so keep checking back and thanks for all your interest viewers. Till next time.
