I thought you folks might like to see this. It is a 40mm version of the mosaic tile base that you saw a few weeks ago. I have been baking sheet after sheet of sculpey for all the basing videos, as well as for the 'regular' miniatures that will need... (Read More)
Freehand over complex surfaces
March 30th - via: kickstarter.com

Mosaic tile practice
March 29th - via: kickstarter.com
Here are some images of the latest practice piece for the videos. This was to test the newer (and much easier) method of getting the mosaic tile look. The first time I did this effect, I actually carved out every single piece on the base, which... (Read More)

More prepping of miniatures. As each set is ready for painting, I will start posting images of the figures so that you can get a feel for what is being used for each topic. Right now the focus is on the Reaper figures, as I wait for the Urban... (Read More)

Here's a post that shows a whole bunch of Pyramid techniques at work: http://wappellious.blogspot.com/2013/03/ladies-start-your-engines.html Let's see... Shaded basecoat, glazing, OSL freehand, blood splatter, basing, flourescents, and so on. :-)... (Read More)
Reaper figures in! Lots of cool stuff...
March 14th - via: kickstarter.com
Yes, the box has arrived! Reaper figs now in hand. I was pleasantly surprised by the Bones figures, which I am using as the storyboard 'test' figures. Very helpful! Here is something that could be a bit helpful. This is me starting to bake... (Read More)

Watchtower images
March 6th - via: kickstarter.com
I have been ordering lots of minis for the videos now that all the funding has cleared. It is not always easy to get those, as there may not be enough stock of the exact mini that I need, etc. A bunchof figs will be on the way from Urban Mammoth... (Read More)
Interview - James Wappel
January 7th - via: pinsofwar.com
James Wappel! He paints like the devil, runs an awe-inspiring miniature-painting blog, and is about to launch a Kickstarter for a massive line of “learning-to-paint-miniatures”-DVDs. When I first heard of his Kickstarter plans, I knew I had to ask him a few questions. “Painting-Kickstarters”, so far, had a harder time than games and miniatures.
