No, I'm not on coolmini or any of the other general wargaming/painting forums. Next year I'll be looking to promote the business a bit better, which shouldn't be too difficult, so I'll consider joining coolmini or maybe wamp. |

It's been a bad year for my miniature collection - zero models bought and only a handful painted. To remedy this I've worked on a much faster style that can knock out a decent standard in little more than a hour. I probably won't use it for commissions since it's a bit rough in places and some parts get little more than a basecoat and wash. For my own stuff, well it's better than bare plastic and I can overlook my shortcuts.

Those are still great figures! Even if some parts are basically basecoat-wash-highlight, you have chosen well what to take your time on. At larger than life size a quick look-over sees them to be above table-top standard to me, so I am sure that they will look really good on the table.

I have to give it to you MMS, even your basic jobs look mighty fine. |

I'm repainting my infinity collection to practice a more precise painting style. I used the loaded brush blending from the painting buddha videos and for my first time I think it turned out quite well.

Lovely work Chris, infact it's excellent. What's the loaded brush technique? Is it the two brush blending method ? |

It involves loading the brush with the basecolour and having say the highlight on the tip. As the highlight colour is used up a transition is created. I learned about it on the painting buddha age of sigmar videos: https://youtu.be/VepXVggrfiE It's pretty mindblowing. |

This does look amazing, I especially love the armour! The technique seems to work very well, at least you have mastered it! Only the gun/rifle could use a bit more contrast in my opinion. Cheers, Bennet |

really nice work MMS. Also, I can't wait to get back home from vacation, so I can try out that loaded brush technique on my NMM. Hopefully it will work out to save me time as they said it's purpose is to. |

I didn't stick with the loaded brush method as I found getting the right consistency too much trouble. Instead I gave the airbrush another go and went through one of the tutorials in the Giraldez book.

I picked up that book and figure the other day. Slightly disappointed with the book as I was hoping for more theory. Nice job on Joan though, maybe a touch brighter on the highs ? I don't know when I will get to do mine but I hope todo it as much justices as yours. |

Yes, the book could have done with more explanation of the techniques. But in fairness I have yet to read a painting guide book that goes into that much detail. However,I will be picking up some of the other models as following the steps was a good learning experience which is how you should see the Joan of Arc model; it's a practice piece albeit a limited edition one. Don't worry about doing it justice instead view it as a step towards better painting. And yes I didn't go up to pure white for the hightlights as my white was dried out somewhat making it useless for edge highlighting. The model does have the greatest contrast than any I have done so I have improved in that regards. |

I've heard the Figopedia book is great for colour and light theory, unfortunately it's in French and I've yet to find an Rnglish version ! |

Great looking minis - is the one at the top of the page the Lesser Lebowski (as opposed to the Big Lebowski)? |

I'm getting more into infinity these days. These are the last of my old models before I get into the new edition stuff.   |

Very nice MMS, i have an Infinity Aleph army, i find them hard to paint for some reason, more practice i need i guess. Great sculpts and a really nice rule system. Do you play as well? |

No, the hobby is very much a solitary experience for me. I've been working through tutorials in the Giraldez book and on his facebook and found the models are a lot of fun to paint that way. Here are some more I sold on ebay recently:
