Adepticon/Crystal Brush 2015

A bit late posting my exciting results from my first Adepticon convention to participate in the Crystal Brush painting competition. I entered several pieces that were all uncharted territory for me. Everything from making bases from scratch, to attempting water effects. Overall I am very pleased with the results. Most proud of winning Gold Manufacturers Award from Dark Age for my single figure entry called "Crimson Mother". Here are a few shots of my entries.

First is Ashan-tyr by Rackham. This piece was a total experiment in basing for me and I learned so much. The aluminium foil bricks seem to capture the ancient rustic ruin effect I was going for. Next time I may either place a larger figure on this size base or try to make it a bit smaller. I can't wait to try it again soon. I've put together a little basing tutorial that is up on the WGC at: http://www.wgconsortium.com/index.cfm/stories/view/1194/creating_rustic_bricks_from_aluminum_foil/

 Go check it out and let me know what you think. :)

 Here is another entry which is my tribute to M*A*S*H named "Goodbye Ferret Face". Base was completely scratch-built :)

Confrontation Wolfen

These are amazing minis and very painter friendly. I enjoyed them very much. :)

Rackham Confrontation - Shurat the Warlord

This is a rare Rackham Confrontation Wolfen mini I had the pleasure of painting to high table top standard. It came with some challenges in modeling though. Fitment was not great and required lots of putty to bring things together. Being pewter made the arms very heavy and pining was a must. I used JB Weld in the torso to help secure pins. Can't wait to paint the shelf full in front of me :-D
