r/minipainting

Used a lot of heavy body acrylics on this one which I think contributed a lot to the saturation. Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this bird lady!

I love painting faces so much and this lovely lady was SUCH a delight 😍

The sculpt is awesome and the details are CRISP and paint up an absolute treat (the eyes are verrry small on this mini though so be warned!)

I deviated a lil bit from the 'gold everything' colour scheme and I may carry that through on the rest of the mini but for now I hope you like her so far :D

Model by Busts Workshop

good news is he looks surprised and dumb like pippin ought to be.

Lovely figure from Hera Models and a ton of fun to paint.

First time playing around with snow. I used Citadel Valhalla blizzard and just slapped it on. Turned out surprisingly well in my opinion! Though I haven't seen much snow irl, so who knows.

The pop of turquoise might be my favorite part of this model. I'm very happy with that color choice.

Now to paint her wolf companion. the wolf does not attach or come with its own base, so I'm thinking of making a diorama but that's a much bigger project.

Grey or black background? I can't decide.

This is my test model for my Angels of Death killteam, it’s a model of firsts (First airbrushing, first pigments and first oil washes) so looking to get some feedback or tips and ideas from you lot please and thank you.

I have JUST NOW AS I POST THIS realised the shoulder symbols are back to front. Which really just hurts my soul.

Either I was too far away or the can was borked but I threw these into 90% alcohol not too long after. Army painter matte black, half were matte half were shiny and they all came out chunky. I think it’s been at least three days and the alcohol has removed NOTHING even with gentle brushing. Anyone have any suggestions?

Here is my modest take on Gelgus Pust...Not sure if I'm ready to call him done. It was a fun challenge to balance the grimdark armor with the glowing base. Hope you like him!

I'll be 55 in a few months. This is my second painted piece. I have to add some accessories that the character has with her. IYKYK But this is how this model arrived. My first painted piece was Carl.

Since I've never really painted, I was pleasantly surprised that I liked what I did. So I have started a new hobby. Of course, there's plenty of room to grow and I'm looking forward to seeing what I learn along the way. When I'm painting, my mind is finally at rest. And, I like that. A lot.

I'm in a bit of a weird place in the mini world. I have no interest in printing. And, I like 1/10 scale. (She's a little smaller- 89mm tall) Obviously most of what's out there to buy is designed for tabletop. But, I'm interested in painting larger size characters from video games games, TV, books, etc I've found shops on ETSY and Ebay. Hopefully I'll be able to find a local printer soon.

I've seen a lot of amazing work here, and I'd like to continue to share my models. I've been watching YT videos for help and ideas. Once I'm a little more confident, I'm sure I'll be asking for advice. Thanks for taking the time to read this far.

My first attempt at comic style miniature painting. How is it?

I‘m really proud of it and just had to share. It took quite a long time to finish, as I was working on it with many breaks between sessions.
