I finished two projects some months ago, but could find the time to write something about them... until now! 

First one is my version of the well known Abyssal Warlord from Scale 75. It was an opportunity to try sculpting a weapon, as i never did it before. I wanted to do a trident, as i thought it could suit the model quite well. I also added him a fish aileron. About the colors, well they are quite strange and i dont really remember what i used. I wasnt that happy with the result and as you can see i didnt spend much time on the base :) . But i love this model and i'll do another and i hope better version someday...

The second one is my first historical complete model. I painted a histo bust, but it's not the same :) . I always liked vikings, so i think it was a good choice to start with. 

Hope you like them, cheers!

Hi friends,

As you may know, my second child will be soon there, so i'm painting as much as i can before his arrival :) . I choosed a miniature that very few people did paint yet, an avalonian retiary. This mini is a bit strange and it's quite unbalanced with these big roots coming out of the arm. But i liked the dynamic pose of the badguy and it's a mini that allows a lot of different painting possibilities. 

I had an idea of something flashy, but trying to keep a dark atmosphere. 

Here's the colours reciepe, always from shadows to lights:

Skintones: Charadon Ganite (GW), English uniform (MC), Beige Red + Medium Fleshtone 50/50 (MC), Basic skintone (MC), Basic Skintone + Ivory (MC)

Skin Nuances: Scab Red (GW), Lime Green (MC), Violet Red (MC), Graveyard Earth (GW), Fluo Green (Homemade)

Metallics: Black (MC), Scorched brown (GW), Boltgun Metal (GW), Chrome (MA)

Metallics nuances + Rust: English uniform (MC), Bestial Brown (GW), Scorched brown (GW)

Leather: Black (MC), Scorched brown (GW) or Leather Brown (MC), or Bloodtracker brown (P3), Bestial brown (GW) or Orange brown (MC), Bleached bone (GW) or Ivory (MC)

Leather Nuances: English Uniform (MC), Siena ink or Sepia Ink (Pebeo)

Cheers!

Hiho,

There's my last paintjob, the fantastic "Roi des Morts" from Metal Modeles. One of the most pleasant to paint miniatures ever. It has been painted for a miniature exchange with an italian friend, Amon Chakai.

Cheers

Hello everybody,

It has been a loong time without any new finished miniatures. Very few time to paint, a lot to do at my work, with my family etc. But finally, here's something new, Jareck from Enigma miniatures!

It has been painted for the Nations Trophy in Nice as the Fantasy miniature of the display. But sadly Switzerland wont have any display as we didnt manage to achieve some of the other historical pieces. By the way you can have a look on Matthieu Rouèche's Blacksmith, that he also painted for this contest as one of the historical pieces : link

So here are the pics, quite a difficult piece to photograph...

No 3D view this time, as i didnt find a way to get the right colors in video. Sorry!

I hope you like him, if u wanna give a vote on CMoN here's the link

Cheers!

Hello,

Recently finished a model i always loved, Urmuth - Scars of War from Andrea Miniatures. As you'll see on the pictures, it has been painted in a classical way. I tried to focus on technique, achieving smooth blendings and a clean result.

I also decided to remain "simple", so there arent big freehands or fancy effects. I like the mini this way.

The base is also quite simple, to not distract the attention from the mini. But there are also little details to watch, if you pay attention. I like when bases have little details that you dont see at the first look.

The name on the socked is a basic paper sheet with printed letters. I just gave it some colours after a coat of matte varnish. If you dont varnish it before, the print ink wont like your diluted paint.

Very luckily for me, it got gold in Master Fantasy Painting at the Lugdunum 2012 show in Lyon. That has been a great surprise :)

As usual you can watch a 360 degrees view on youtube. Sadly it kills some of the contrast, but it can give a good idea of the mini like if you had it in your hands. Here,s the link:
