Let’s start with some good news this week and then we can discuss the not so good. Hellboy is finally done. It didn’t take as long as a typical display piece does but three weeks on a single miniature is still plenty of time and I have to admit that I’m looking forward to painting … Continue reading Wild Hunt Hellboy is Done
This week’s update is action-packed with triumphs, humiliations, and lots of pictures. First up, I have made a fair amount of progress on Hellboy this week. I think it might be useful for me to do a side-by-side comparison image of last week to this week. Here is what the front of the mini from … Continue reading More Hellboy, New Acquisitions, and a Miserable Room Tour
This past week, I hit a brick wall on the Witch King miniature I’ve been working on for this year’s Golden Demon. As a result, I am no longer going to work on the project with an eye towards entering it in a painting competition. I will explain why and some lessons I’ve learned along … Continue reading Making and Learning From Competition Painting Mistakes
I wasn’t sure if I’d have enough painting progress to show off for another update this year but I’ve just about managed. There is a lot of other stuff I want to discuss too so strap in for one last, meaty update in 2022. The main attraction is the Golden Demon project so here’s a … Continue reading MESBG – A Foul Steed
Well, this week certainly did go as I expected hobby-wise. I had started working on the Golden Demon project and out of nowhere, I got the desire to work on something else. I started splitting my time between the two miniatures and by the end of the week, I was painting the something else full-time. … Continue reading Fallout – Exploding Things
While it was frequently delayed (not unlike Gandalf in the books now that I think about it), I was able to wrap up the diorama this week. With creative works, I think you can be too close to what you make and start to lose perspective on it. With this one, I probably have been … Continue reading MESBG – The Bounder’s Duty Diorama
Progress on the diorama continues but not as fast or smoothly I would like. I managed to get the base sculpted, sanded, and ready for the next steps which is to be frank, one of the less exciting parts of the process so that’s good. I’ve also been chipping away at the remaining minis that … Continue reading MESBG – Hobbit-sized sculpts can cause headaches
I was able to finish up the Eomer display project and I’m very happy to be sharing the results. I think it is one of my best minis yet and it came together in less than a month’s time which is pretty darn good for a display piece. I have more to say about the … Continue reading MESBG – Eomer – Rohan’s Guardian
I was really close to getting Eomer done last weekend but ultimately was slowed down by needing one paint to finish him and having to order it online. I figured it would be better to just wait and show the finished mini instead of one that is 95% done so I pushed back this update … Continue reading MESBG – Eomer Mini Finished
It has certainly been nice to have a week off work and while the week has not gone the way I would have planned it, I did enjoy doing a bit of gaming and painting. I continued work on Eomer for my LOTR display project and I’m really happy with how he is looking. I’m … Continue reading Middle Earth SBG – Muster the Rohirrim!
