Hello, My name's Martin, im 29 years old and i live in Geneva (Switzerland). I'm painting minis since november 2009, trying to improve everyday. This is my modest blog, i hope you'll like it. I also would like to meet some other painters in my region, so feel free to contact me :) Cheers!
So, i managed to finish this tiny girl at the end of 2012, just before the Montreux Miniatures Show. It's a great sculpt from Allan Carrasco, that has been made for the Fantask'Open 2011 edition. Very few painted versions have been seen yet, but there...
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...
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....
Hiho, It has been some time i wanted to give a try at painting a historical sculpt. Some days ago i found this great bust in my unpainted minis box, and thought it may be the time to do it... As historical says, i went up to a classic color scheme. You...
Hiyaa, Just came back from a three days workshop weekend with Roman Lappat (Jarhead) & Raffaele Picca (Picster). Still very tired, but i'll try to say some words about it... Friday, after 6 hours of driving, i finally arrive in Blumberg-Achdorf. Quite...
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...
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...
So, i never wrote a tutorial, but i guess everybody has to start someday... Be sure the techniques used here are not from me. I spent a lot of time on internet, to read tutorials, watching videos etc. So i have to thank all the other painters who share...
Hello, I've just finished my version of the famous Yarry from Enigma Miniatures. A very pleasant mini to paint. I tried to improve my texturing techniques. For harmony, all the colors used have been mixed with Thornwood Green (p3). It gives sort of a...
As we (my girl, my son & me) moved into a bigger flat, here's my new painting room. As i spent 2 hours yesterday to clean the mess i thought it deserves a little pic. Just to remermber how it can be... I also always loved to see other painters desks,...
Hiyaa, Here's the last project i finished, some hours ago. The mini is Raggarth from Sphere Wars. The cast i had was really awful, so the preparation needed a loooong boring time. But i hope the final result erases this bad memory. You can watch him on...
A little project running these days, maybe the most painted mini ever... Yarry from Enigma miniatures. As im quite new in the miniatures world i felt like i had to give him a try :) Nothing is finished yet, but here's a little picture. I still dont have...
Today something a bit bigger, probably my favourite model from GW this year, already a classic, the Nurgle Chaos Lord. A friend asked me someday if i would sell him some miniatures. Well i wont feel good if i take my friend's money, so i suggested him...
Hello, It has been quite a long time as i lost 3 weeks moving into a new flat, bigger and better :) . So he's finally finished, the Happy Monk from Ernst Veingart. A lot of pleasure to paint something about peace, poetry and well being. On his belly you...
Hello, A little update with another very fast paintjob, done to give a try at the Andrea Black Paint Set. It took me about 4-5 hours from start to finish with the base. I added the scale on the picture because i think it's the smallest mini i've ever...
Hey, I just finished to paint a Tauro Bust at scale 1/20. It is my first ever painted bust, so it has been a good training for me. it has been quite difficult to paint it because there is not a single flat surface, everything is strongly textured. I made...
Hi there, Something painted very quickly, simply to have some fun. The eye was a little try at dayglow pigments, after the article written by Raffaele Picca on Massive Voodoo. The skin has been painted with Coal Black (p3), Meredius Blue (p3), Arcane...
Hiho, I know i'm late, but Merry Christmas everybody! I hope you recieved nice minis from the fat red man :) From my side i recieved the Abyssal Warlord, that will be a big thing to paint :p . As i wont have any internet connection during the next days,...
Hello friends, A very tiny miniature, painted as a gift to my dear wife. It's not much in comparison of everything she brings to me, but i hope she likes it anyways. Finished in approximately 10 hours. It's a great 30mm piece produced by Origen Art Miniaturas....
Hi friends, I felt into the dark side, i'm now on Facebook :D . Why? Well you know it, it's the easiest & fastest way to stay in contact with friends, to share ideas, photos etc. I've never been a big fan of this life intruding tool, but i guess i have...
Wohaa, It has been a loong time without any update. Between my work, my son, family, friends i've been quite busy and it's often difficult to find some time to paint. But, right now i'm packing my stuff for the Monte San Savino Show :D . This was my birthday's...
