El Markes - almost there

Yet another bust is almost finished.
Few more little things that need to be fixed, and I can put him on the shelf marked as 'finished'.
Not my best work, that's for sure, but I'm still happy that I managed to paint it.

El Markes - this time solo

Another quick update of my latest bust, El Markes by Tale of War. This time without Bombel trying to devour poor little fella.

Still lots to do, and work is more haotic than usually (some random pieces are still in really early/wtf is happening here??, stage). But I'm rather happy with the face, leather elements and freehand on the hat, I even like the yellow bandana. Hair and the cloak are still pain in the neck, I might repaint it at some point. But what colour should I choose for the cloak? What do you think? Brown, more or less like a hat, red or maybe green?

Inspector Bombel strikes again, or new mini on the table.

Here are the photos of the new bust I'm working on at the moment. As you can see, Inspector Bombel is working on it as well (on his own twisted way of course;p)

This is El Markes, lovely pirate bust from Tale of War. Again no scale given, but the bust has 25mm to the eye level and 55mm to the top of the hat.
Mini is in pretty early stage at the moment. And I'm struggling with the blue and hat, but I must say, I do enjoy painting this little fella. If I'm lucky and my painting mojo won't abbandon me suddenly, I should be able to finish this bad boy before Sunday.

Mujer Fauno finished

This beautiful bust is my first, hopefully not the last, miniature from Origen Art. I'm not really sure what's the scale here, but it's 34mm tall to the eye level and 53mm to the end of the horns.
I managed to paint it in 5 days, which is my personal record of speed painting.

Well, after almost a year or so, I can proudly present my second part of Pegasus Project finished.
And yet another mini moved from Hall of Shame to Hall of Fame:D

Welling Model Club Show 2013

Yesterday I visited really nice show. It was held in Welling (London) and was organized by Welling Model Club for the 39th time (next year is big 40!!).
It was a  nice day, even weather was merciful and it was warm and sunny. It is always a pleasure to meet fellow modellers and painters, talk about the hobby, exchange experience and buy a new mini or two.

The competition itself was really friendly and well organised (some of the judges are judging also at EuroMilitaire). I managed to take photos of some of the entries, but because I forgot to take my camera, and was forced to use my mobile... most of the photos is rather crappy and doesn't do the justice to the paintjob, sorry guys. But yesterday i had rather hectic morning, and I'm happy I didn't forget my entries...

I must say I'm glad I didn't, as I managed to win some medals there.
I took 3 miniatures to the show, and two of them placed really nice.
Urmuth Scars of War was awarded with gold in the Fantasy/sf category, and The Grinder with bronze in Bust category.
Poor Yoda the Bloob got nothing... but I received some nice feedback and might tweak him a bit before Salute to give him fighting chance.

And here's a short photo gallery from this event. Just please remember, before you check it out, that these photos were done with my mobile and they're mostly horrible and don't do any justice to the miniatures:( Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to link another gallery here, with decent photos done by my friend John (who won silver with his Wolf!)

cheers
