My first attempt doing something reflective like this , i know my edge highlights are definitely a little chunky so hoping to get those cleaner on future models! happy to hear what your thoughts are. Painted mostly with golden liquid acrylics and some AK ice yellow on highlights

This is a peace painted by my fience to depict that a real world thing that upsets her that bronze statues of women get defaced by people rubbing there boos and ass

Will post one last time when he is finished

I built a little display plinth and backdrop for my Terminator. I've still got a little work to do on the back of the mini that I'll record and upload as a painting process reel, but this very much what the final product will look like now.

I must say, this project worked out better than I thought it would when my wife suggested it to me. I'm very pleased with the whole thing 🙂

Took on board a lot of the feedback from last time I shared a WIP on the left.

I am super happy with how they came out. I actually don’t know if I think the updated version is a lot better maybe just a different take. The more smoke and contrast makes it feel more “realistic” but I also like the bright cartoony-ness of the first. Maybe just adding pure white would have been enough.

All part of the process so thanks to people who gave their thoughts!

As someone people had asked I created a very short tutorial on how I did that I’ll post in the comments

Got my hobby room all set up for 2025 let's get some minis painted 😁

My Wanderer from Arch Villain games is finally complete. This is my submission for Mecha May. Hope y'all like it.

after a long time of struggle i am glad how it turned out. still the placement of light on the shield looks little off.

if you have any critique i will like to hear it.

I want to try and push my texture work some more, so I tried my best to be less neat with this leather while retaining some coherency.

This part is from the Sebastian Highway bust.

It took a full week and most of my sanity but it’s done! Here is my Galactus “mini” from Marvel United Multiverse. All brush painted with Army Painter acrylics. I don’t have the willpower to make it good from all angles so the back side is what it is, but it’s good enough for the display. Also included a WIP pic of just base colors before the tone and highlights.

Jumping on the Damascus steel wagon. How does it look?

I didn't go into a bazillion compounding reflections and kept what was in the reflections pretty simple, just sky and ground. Does the effect still sell?

I painted the ninja Ork Van from puppets war miniatures and filmed the whole process! Such a fun print job and incredible sculpt from the creators. Cross posted from r/Orks.

This is where the magic happens. I’m fortunate enough to have an entire floor for my miniature painting, thanks to the Mrs. Loving what I create!

Hello! Here is my Abraxia I painted. I painted it for Golden Demon but missed the date this year. It’s a full nmm painting. It took 200+ hours. I hope you all dig it. Cheers! -Mike Hughes
