Finished Jholkar

I finished up my Jholkar mini today. He is a great model and a true joy to paint. 

Jholkar Wip

Here are a couple of WIP shots of my Jholkar mini I recieved from Hasslefree miniatures a couple of weeks ago. I think he makes a pretty good barbarian figure for any 28mm game.

I'm liking the progress thus far. I started with a dark brown base coat on his skin and I think the effect is coming along nicely. I'll post an update once he is finished.

RPG Mushroom Man

I painted up this Reaper Bones Mushroom Man using Game Decor paints ( http://gamedecor.com ).
I think he turned out well. The earthy/ dirty look came out great thanks to the terrain paints I used on his trunk.

I've got two more smaller ones that I might paint up soon.

Red Box Minis

I managed to finish a couple of Tre Manor's Red Box Games Miniatures this week. 

First is Eofrweg of the Red Gate

I'm not particularly happy about his shield or face but he is a great sculpt.

Next up is Lord Cuthbert of Ellesley 

I did a terrible job on his shield. I might strip him and try again.

This is all three of my Tre Manor sculpts together. What do you think?

A different kind of painting.

This weekend I'm staining my kitchen cabinets. So no update this week. However, I do have 6 miniatures on the way. 2 Red Box Games, 2 Hasslefree, and 2 Otherworld minis. So, while I'm busy adulting this weekend, I will be right back at it this coming week.

My next mini.

No painted minis or terrain today. However, I am searching for my next mini (or two). I've got my eye on a couple from Hasslefree miniatures sculpted by Tre Manor http://www.hfminis.co.uk/shop?product=jholkar-of-bolverk~hfh078&category=fantasy-%26%0D%0Asteampunk~fantasy-humans or http://www.hfminis.co.uk/shop?product=ulf-of-gar~hfh081&category=fantasy-%26%0D%0Asteampunk~fantasy-humans . The problem  is I can't seem to find them in stock anywhere in the States. If I don't end up ordering them from The UK, I'll probably pick up a Red Box Games mini http://red-box-games.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=21&zenid=c19943e80e1b2d9e8ad9aa643d5350d7 . So many goodies to choose from!

Kieron, Ranger

I received my order of a metal Tre Manor sculpt today. I've had my eye on this guy for sometime now.

I based him on a 30mm(?) base with some simple sand.

After that I got to painting and finished him off with a bit of Army Painter Swamp Grass.

I'll admit the free hand on the shield is a little rough but overall I'm happy with him.

I'm hoping to do more single miniatures in the future. This guy only took me about 3 hours from prep to finish. He was very quick and enjoyable to paint.
