Weretigress

This miniature i painted for a friend of mine...this one is a Reaper Miniature:
2575: Cleo Goldpaws, Weretigress by Sandra Garrity

First time I painted a mini that had more than one tone of colors...the black stripes on the orange body...with white fur area. Came out pretty well...even the foilage for the base came out nice. Simple way of doing the foilage. Get yourself a box like the box that miniatre is sitting on...put about a half a Centimeter depth of the foilage you're going to be using into it. Using a dark earth tone color, lay a heavy coat on the base...becareful not to hit the rest of the miniature..feet..boots. While still wet, dip the miniature, base first, into the foilage...make sure you coat the base well...pull out of foilage but not out of the box...turn sideways and with a paint brush handle or something solid that you can tap on the side of the base with to shake off the excess back into the box. If you're lucky...some of that darker earth tone color will show through like say dirt.

This was taken with my cell phone camera...not the best of quality picture.

To display or not to display....

Mini's by Toby...the thoughts that some people might be thinking.

Setting the record straight...

As a hobby, I paint fantasy/sci-fi era metal/plastic miniatures....25mm scale size mostly...but other scales as well if I feel interested in painting something different. I've been doing this hobby for quite some time now...over 15 years at least...some people say i'm good at it...with this blog, i might be saying, you be the judge. Soon as I can gather some, i'll post a picture or two or three of some of my past work or current projects.
