I must say I'm a bit nervous about this. I know they should be ok if I won't be tossing my bag too much, and I intend to keep it with me all the time to make sure no one else will, but still, bit nervous.<br />

I just realized, I'm not doing myself a favour with this photos. Taken under bright, sharp light, my minis don't look too impressive. But it trust me, it's just bad light, not bad painting:D<br />

As always show was really friendly and the day was a pure pleasure: right mixture of meeting with friends, friendly competition and a bit of shopping.<br />
<br />
I was lucky enough to bring home golden medal for all pieces I entered. Sadly only 3, but lately my hobby time is a bit more limited...<br />

Photos from the show will be slowly appearing on my <a href="http://s629.photobucket.com/user/asharimrai/library/Welling%20Model%20Club%20Show%202015?sort=3&page=1">photobucket here</a>. It's gonna take me a while to postprocess all of them, so please be patient with me. As always not the greatest quality, but I don't feel like taking my tripod to a show, so I have to do best with what I have.<br />

<br />
First the idea was to order a plaque from <a href="http://www.nameitplates.co.uk/">Name It</a>, as I always do. I like their elegant finish, and the fact that I don't have to worry about making them. Unfortunately the font I choosen doesn't really look good, so I decided to get a bit more creative.<br />
<br />

Because ot the name I've choosen for my bust, Al Hippone (he has this old time gangster look after all), I decided to go for an old newspaper, preferably something about Al Capone. It would be a nice touch, known only to me, but still. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything in right format (taller than wider) so I went for just a newspaper from the right place and more or less time, and changed it a little. <br />

the 'front page' I printed good few copies on tracing paper. In works

especially when I'm experimenting and can't be sure that I'll be happy

Next I applied paper tape under first few plaques to make it less transparent, and thicker, more sturdy. After that, I carefuly cut it out using a ruler and hobby knife.<br />
Why even bother with tracing paper and paper tape, why not use normal paper? Thefirst reason is finish you get with the trace paper. It's more sleek than normal paper, and gives a bit more 3D effect due to it's thickness and transparency. And paper tape instead normal paper as and under layer, because tracing paper expands a lot when wet, and the surface gets wrinkly very easily. Besides paper tape is off white, creamy so it looks more like and old paper from the start.<br />
And why did I use tracing paper not printing foil? To keep the paper feel to the plaque. With printing foil everyting would be easier to achieve, but it wouldn't feel like paper.<br />

Now it's time for some weathering. Using only two GW washes (Agrax Earthshade and Seraphim Sepia) I painted the back of the plaque, again due to the rippling properties of the tracing paper, I was careful not to soak the front, but few stains didn't do too much of a damage. <br />

While the paper was drying between aplications, the ruler laying on top of it was helping me to keep it more or less straight. It's not really necessary, but for me it was easier this way.<br />

With the 'back' as dark as I wanted (paint applied from the back still afected the front of the plinth), I just added few thin layers of wash in the corners and the plaques were ready. I was wery carefull not to apply too much of the wash in one go, to avoid wrinkling of the material. Unfortunately, when all was properly dry, I noticed that they are just too dark, especially placed on a black plinth. Below you can see photo of the plaques on white paper and black plinth, hopefully you see the difference (not only in the temperature of light).<br />

The easiest way to make the plaque brighter was to add another layer of paper tape. So I just glued it on the back of the plaque and cut out excess of tape carefully.<br />

After that there was just a matter of sticking the plaque to the plinth with use of double sided tape. Again, I glued the plaque to one side of the tape, cut out the excess and then removed the protect layer on the other sinde and glued the plaque to the plinth.<br />

Today I'd like to share with you something special. Well at least special for me.<br />
This month I statred a series of articles about basic things in our hobby: preparing miniatures for paint, priming, basic techniques and such. Apparently there is a lot of people asking about such basic things we all assume everyone knows. So if any of you finds the subject interesting, please let me know what would you like to read about, ask questions if you have any. I'll do my best to cover all interesting topics and after every part, will have a small Q&A about previous one. Of course if we'll get any Q to give them an A:)<br />

A nice bust I'm working on right now. I was trying to depict colours of real hippos on his face. It's not perfect (should be bit more fleshy pinkish than violet) but it's close enough for me and I really like the effect. The bust is almost ready, I just need to repaint the tie, and fix contrast on the cloak and the nose. Looks like I should be able to finish it before Saturday and Welling's Show:D</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
BTW, I bought this little handsom fella from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Path-of-Chameleon/314583058686559">Path of Chameleon</a>. If you like him, just give them a shout, they'll sort you out:)</div>

But with this little beauty, and the company that made it, being covered not long ago in one of the issues, I decided to do a short review here. I'm not sure if I'll be doing them here too often, but I'll at least try to do it once in a while.<br />

The company that made this beautiful bust is Spira Mirabilis and you can find them on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Spira-mirabilis/713122318747704">Facebook</a>. <br />As you can see the box is pretty awesome, with the seal and all. And hay used to line the box for protection suits both the box and the subject.<br />

The bust is sculpted by Lucas Pina in scale 1:12. And as many other cool pieces recently it is a Limited Edition of 300 copies (with mine No. 42)<br />The cast is almost primer ready... I seriously couldn't find a single mould line or other issue, and I say almost only because I had to remove this small bar of resin underneath. Other than that I could just wash it and prime.<br />

There is not really much more to say... The bust is one of the best casts I've ever seen, and I will most definitely keep my eye on Spira Mirabilis in the future.<br />

And right now I can't promise that I won't disappear for a longer time again. Sadly my everyday duties keep me too busy to paint too often.<br />
<br />
This pirate is not the only piece I'm trying to paint recently. But the only one that looks presentable enough to be shown in public.<br />

Of course still a lot to do, but his left forearm, fist and left shoe looks the best.<br />
When I started this miniature, back in 2013, I thought that the bottle looks pretty cool, but right now I can clearly see it needs to be redone, not only due to paint marks.<br />

<br />
not much to say really, just photos of a finished bust. As you know already it got commended at Euromilitaire.<br />
I must say I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, and it was a pleasure to paint.<br />

I had really great time, seeing all my friends, making some new ones... indulging in the hobby, seeing lots of awesome paintjobs and buying some of the amazing products avaliable during the show.<br />
It's a real pitty that now we have to wait a whole year for next Euro... I know, I know, there are some other great shows later this year (MSS, Hussar, Bugle Call and maybe more), and early 2015, but sadly I won't be able to go there... so I'm waiting for yet another trip to Folkestone, and planing what should I paint;]<br />
But let's talk about this year's show for a while longer.<br />
<br />
First <b>shopping</b>.<br />
I bought most of it on Saturday, so chronogically it should be first.<br />
As you can see on the photo, I didn't buy much. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM4fwM_orm_6mMjjqx0v6LoNdi8X8KjbGxQ1687WerTOMvcWYsQifF-LPsdizU_L2ucCJqaRSsqEjzXglgcUEaual2rMg9ddMyf-lJpkuKTWUMtpmx5cnh1w-9y0sndc9epEvfhEoOSqrY/s1600/zakupy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM4fwM_orm_6mMjjqx0v6LoNdi8X8KjbGxQ1687WerTOMvcWYsQifF-LPsdizU_L2ucCJqaRSsqEjzXglgcUEaual2rMg9ddMyf-lJpkuKTWUMtpmx5cnh1w-9y0sndc9epEvfhEoOSqrY/s1600/zakupy.jpg" height="266" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Just few unique bases, I love buying them during shows, where you can see them from every angle and find best ones that suit my models. One of them will be used right away, for my Diablito, cute little guy sculpted by Roberto Chaudon.</li>
<li>A beautiful bust of Aquila, Roman Legionary, made by Nut's Planet, scale 1/10, casted in resin. I've seen it recently around painted by many amazing painters and feel like I'd like to give it a go. Not much of a chance to do it completely different than others (you know, the uniform and all that) but I hope I can leave my mark on it anyway.</li>
<li>Battle Chick, One of new releases from Nocturna Models, a beautiful girl from the line Necrospace. The mini is 75 mm tall (according to the producer's website), 1/28 scale, cast of course in resin. I think I'll be doing some small changes to her equipment, but othet than that, she's trully gorgeous.</li>
<li>And a piece I had in my mind for few years alerady. A gorgeous Mermaid from Origen Art. Another resin cast in 1/28 scale. I feel the right time came to finaly buy her and paint. I can't wait to start with all the rust and weathered parts, and the mermaid itself of course.</li>
<li>Two video tutorials from Painting Buddha, about freeehands and basing alchemy (first part earth). I have their first set of DVDs and can't wait to see those two. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>Entries</b>, and <b>badges. </b><br />
This year I entered 4 pieces, all of them busts, one historical and 3 fantasy. Luckily enough all of them got a badge. <br />

Sapo - Gold<br />
Old Gnome and Leon - Bronze<br />
Landsknecht - Commended <br />
I'm more than happy about that, as it shows some consistency in my painting, at least I'd like to think it does. And I gathered some valuable feedback from judges, so there is a chance my painting will improove in the mentioned areas:D<br />
Below you can see a solo photo of my golden boy, Sapo.<br />

It's not as easy as you could imagine, me being constantly tired to death, my hands acting up sometimes, going numb without any reason, and my free time seriously limited. But I'm doing the best I can in these circumstances.<br />

I managed to do some more work on the Landsknecht. The biggest change so far is the colour of the tiny bag hanging on his chest. I really liked the goldish colour I used previously, but it was drawing too much attetnion from the face, so it's dark brown now. I still need to add stronger highlight to the left side of the bag (right on the photo), but other than that I'm quite happy.<br />
The other big change is the red feather. I couldn't get it right, so decided to change colour. I tried few options and finally decided to go for goldish like the other. I must confess, they're pretty hard to paint. And I have 5 more on two other busts. It's not making me happy to be honest.<br />
<br />
Other than those two changes I finished the shirt and belt, and did a
bit more work on the bere and beard. And as I'm really happy with the
way the belt turned out, I'm not so happy about the beard. As you can see at the bottom photo, it looked (at least for me it did) way more structurized, organized when only undercoated. <br />
<br />

<br />Right now it looks more chaotic, I can't really see the nice waves, as I could earlier. I'm not sure if I'll be able to fix it and make it look like I imagined. I guess we'll see. <br />

Beautiful Landsknecht bust (scale 1:9), sculpted by Yury Serebryakov. Pretty big face, and the rest looking deceptively simple and fast to paint. And what's more important, I got it p repared already for few months now. At some point I decided to prepare and prime several miniatures and busts. If you're courious about my preping process, I described it in some <a href="http://twistedbrushes.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/back-from-dead-hopefully-for-good-this.html">more details</a> few posts (and almost a year) ago.<br />

With face basically finished (just few touch ups here and there, when
whole thing is done) I just continiued painting. For the first time I
managed to successfully use wet on wet technique. Till now I was struggling
with big time. I've seen countless video tutorials on this technique
(well maybe not countless but a lot for sure), but couldn't get it
right. Luckily this time it just worked. I'm especially happy with the
red of the tunic and black on the emblem on the front. Both red and
black were really difficult for me to paint with high contrast, and this
time I quite like the effect. I hope I'll be able to use this technique
from now on without any problems. Below you can see a massive close up of the red and black elements. It looks kinda rough here and there, but please bare in mind that the photo is few times bigger than the whole bust, so of course all imperfections are well... bigger.<br />

<br />
Right now it's almost finished, just like the Old Gnome piece... And I
can only hope I can finish both of them without further distraction.<br />
The face is somehow desaturated on the photo. I seem to be unable to get the colours right on my new camera, but over all I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Like I said I'll be doing some more work here, but I'm almost there. <br />
For the rest of the bust I need: repaint the pouch on his chest (draws way too much attention away from the face), fisnish the belt, shirt, beret, golden elements, and of course beard.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And with less than a month left, I'm affraid I won't be bringing too much to the competition. So far I have only Leon, and Capt'n Sapo, two busts finished at the beginning of this year.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm hoping I'll be able to finish something else, but it all depends on how much sleep and free time I'll be able to get these next few weeks. So far the most advanced is Old Gnome bust (from <a href="http://www.modeldisplayproducts.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=156_66">War Griffon Miniatures</a>). At this point basically only the flesh needs to be finished, rest is more or less ready.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As always I'm struggling with the skintones, that's why I tend to leave it for the end. It's a real pity, as the face is the most important part of every miniature, bust especially. And if I won't do it good enough, the whole paintjob will be, well, wasted. So finger crossed I won't mess it up this time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the first time I'm trying to do directional light, shining on his left shoulder, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to pull it off. We'll see how it looks with the face ready. Hopefully it will work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And if I'm really lucky, and wil be able to get into 'the Zone', I might even paint something else, something small and simple. If I'm lucky...</div>

The bust comes from a nice range of <a href="http://www.figone.fr/">Figone</a> miniatuers, and recently was a subject of a competition called 'The Sapo Challenge' held by the creators of this little beauty. The comp is closed now, but if you're inerested, you can find all the details and other participants <a href="http://www.figone.fr/en/challenge-sapo/#prettyPhoto">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I'm really happy how it turned out. I know of course it could be painted better, with higher contrast or whatever, but I had a chance to work on a different type of textures here, and as always, I learned a lot. <br />

Actually I did some more work on other pieces as well, but they're not yet ready to be shown to public.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here he is, Mr Leo, a beautiful bust from Yedharo models (the bigger one).<br />
To be honest with you, I picked up this bust first, because it looked
easy and simple to paint. And I was hoping to finish it quickly, to warm
myself up, and move to other projects. But now I know that it's not gonna be so easy. The further I am in painting this little buddy, the more details I discover;]<br />
<br />
At this point the finished parts are: leather shoulderpad, the strap on the front, belt bucle, and the sword (without the golden thing at the top of the hilt). Face and the rest of the body still needs a lot of work, but the toughest task is the hair. It is beautifuly sculpted, full of detail and textures, but painting it believable will be a trick. And even if the hair around his face are fairly easy, the back of the head is completely different story. <br />

Of course I had to buy few more things 'by the way', i.e. sofa;], but right now I can proudly announce, that I do have some light to shine upon my precious minis.<br />

I know, I know... it's not a major improvement, but I'm happy anyway. And it not only gives some light for my minis, but also adds nice ambient light, so it's win win for me:D<br />

Hopefully for good this time.After months without the brush I finally felt like I'm ready to go back and paint with pleasure and some consistency. Well almost without the brush, I tried to paint from time to time, but it wasn't very successful. So right now after a few days with painting I really hope the 'dry spell' is over and I'll be creative again.<br />
<br />
Because I'm not really a fan of preping miniatures, you know cleaning them, assembling, priming... Especially priming. I use Mr. Surfacer 1200, which smells really nice, but still is not the healthiest thing to inhale, so I need to use a mask and all that stuff, and it takes time... you know.<br />
Well anyway, I decided to prepare bunch of miniatures, prime them at one go and be over with it for a while. Below you can see the minis I chose to be painted next. As you can see, mostly busts and bigger scale. I'm not quite sure if I knew what to do with 28mm mini right now:D<br />

<br />
At this point, the minis are all primed and 'preshaded'. Because I use light gray primer, I couldn't just use white paint from the top to mimic zenithal lighting, it wouldn't be wisible enough. So first I applied a fairly diluted, dark gray paint from the bottom (+/- 45 degree), and then again diluted white from the top (+/- 45 degree). Thanks to that I can see much better lights and shadows on my miniatures, which should help me to build the volumes. The darker and brighter areas will also look a bit different when covered with paint, wihich is an additional help to the contrast.<br />

<br />
And here the last step of my work with airbrush. Of course if I had all colour schemes planned out already I could do much more, but I'm still hesitating, so I did only flesh parts. Here again I applied first lights and shadows, but rest of the job will be done with the brush.<br />

Hobby wise even a dead month...<br />
I did absolutely nothing.<br />
<br />
I tried to paint but I couldn't find my mojo, so I decided I need a break. So for now my brushes and paints are simply waiting for better times, slowly covering in dust and spiderwebs in the meantime.<br />
<br />
I had a plan to go to two competitons and I failed misserably here as well.<br />
First one, Hussar, was in Warsaw. Not to close to where I live, but I really wanted to go, seriously. I even managed to fly to Poland, but at the time I was leaving the plane in Swidnik (my hometown) I had a massive cough, runny nose and high fever (all thanks to the awesome plain's aircon and sick people inside). So instead to go to Warsaw, I went straight to bed, and stayed there all 4 days of my visit. Trust me it wasn't fun at all. Even my mum's awesome chicken soup didn't make it much better.<br />
<br />
The second competiton was yesterday in Gravesent, basically like half an hour from my place. I was really looking forward to this one, but with the sickness not fully out of my system I decided against it. Cozy bed was way too tempting this time.<br />
<br />
I trully hope that this autumn's mood will change soon, and I'll be able to paint again...<br />

I've been posting so many wips from this project so there is really not much more to say about it. You can always check out earlier post about this bust, to see how it was shaping up.<br />
I entered this bust into the EuroMilitaire competiton last weekend, in Folkestone, where it managed to get Silver in Fantasy Bust category. I must say I'm pretty happy and proud.<br />
I hope you like it. <br />
