I've been painting miniatures off and on (mostly off) for about 25 years. (You'd think I'd be better at it after all that time ...) Feel free to email me at bobshin@gmail.com.
I picked up this WOTC Soldier, Human Female (WOC40078/2001) from the Star Wars Roleplaying Miniatures line in a discount bin years ago. My kids love Star Wars so much that I finally decided to take her down off the shelf and paint her. I used images of an Episode I Naboo palace guard as a reference.
I posted some of my favorite minis on CoolMiniorNot. Your votes and any comments would be appreciated!
Reformatted the webpage using transitional xhtml. Hey, these cascading style sheets work!
I just barely managed to finish this WOTC Half Orc Fighter (Chainmail/Will Hannah/2001) before the year ended! The snow base was created using PVA glue and baking soda. I like the effect, but next time I will try making the snow less deep.
It's been a while since I've had time to do any painting. I took advantage of some paternity leave (hi, Max!) to paint up a great Hasslefree mini, Tiriel, Female Paladin (HFH002/Kevin White/2004).
I picked up this old Ral Partha Wraith ES-29 (Personalities 01-030/Tom Meier/1977) on eBay and painted it up. I wonder what happened to the one I painted over 20 years ago?
I offered some extra iDisk space I had to Scott Baker (Grumb) so he could make the CMON 2004 Yearbook Addendum available for download.
A new record! This Reaper Stone Golem (DHL 2751/James Van Schaik/2003) only took me one day to paint and base. Wash with black ink. Drybrush with light gray. Voila!
Reformatted the website this weekend. I hope it looks more professional and is easier to navigate.
I figured that this WOTC Skeletal Orc (Chainmail/Will Hannah/2001) would be pretty grungy, being raised from the dead and all. I like how the weathering on the big old battleaxe came out.
Submitted pics of my Dwarf Slayer to the Hersey Con 2004 CMON Contest. Tracy Brady (TAB Studio) and her daughter (ipaintminis) were nice enough to send a free mini to everyone who participated. Cool!
Submitted pics of my War Maiden to the Reaper Miniatures Painting Contest. I didn't expect to win, but unfortunately I didn't receive any comments either. Poop.
Completed this WOTC Human Paladin of Stratis (Chainmail/Jim Warner/2002) after a little dry spell.
Added a WOTC Dwarf Raider (Chainmail/Roy Eastland/2001) armed with a crossbow and axe.
Finally got around to updating this page. Added three minis:
Added a Games Workshop Dwarf Slayer (Warhammer 84-39) painted over the holidays.
Thanks to Terry Adams (yrret) for mentioning this site on Electric Ocean! What a nice treat for the new year!
Added two new minis:
Posted an old mini and a new mini:
Added a WOTC Stone Spike (Chainmail/Roy Eastland/2001) painted in 2002 with craft acrylics.
Uploaded this site and posted some of my old lead:
