Okay, today there are new photos of old models. I had never taken real photos of my Ghostbusters and my fan heart couldn’t really stand it. So today there’s actually only a small correction. The figures are painted a year and a half ago. Of course I’m a little itchy to correct them or to …
The evenings are getting shorter, it is already mid-September, autumn is approaching. Time to retreat comfortably and unpack scary movies. While I personally don’t need Halloween, which is now firmly established in Germany, I love everything about the media spectacle in the USA. Horror movies, special episodes in TV shows, elaborate costumes and strange stories. …
After a long time I finished a few buildings for my backdrops. Four building elements representing residential buildings in the style of New York. They all consist of the set “Brownstone A” by TT Combat, which actually contains a complete house. Instead I took all four sides as independent elements, reinforced the back with balsa …
German podcast “Die Hobbyisten” called for a terrain challenge and I took that reason to start building my next terrain pieces. Until the end of August any terrain piece should be built, painted and posted under the hashtag #hobbyistenterrain. Since autumn is approaching and I have a lot of scary movies on my schedule again, …
Final member of the Thundercats team is Tygra, attacking with his whip. Again a very nice miniature from Crooked Dice that completes the set of „Beastmen Heroes“. I thought about converting Snarf Snarf and the other missing team members, but I think I’ll wait with that until I painted the villains – which won’t be …
The Thundercats are growing with Cheetara joining the team. I’m not really happy with my paint job as it was too hot when I painted her and I lost a bit control over the paints, but on the other hand the difference wouldn’t be that big to be honest, so I let her as she …
Next of the Thundercats is Panthro. To make it quick: There’s not much to say about him except the miniature is again spot on!
Well, it’s a little weird with the Thundercats. I loved the show back then, but now there was almost nothing left in my memory. Maybe the love wasn’t that big after all, but at least I liked watching the show. When Crooked Dice first announced the villain range around Mumm-Ra, I watched the old intro …
With the heat wave over Germany, I am only slowly making progress. Most of the day I can’t paint, because my painting place is under the roof and the paints dry immediately. Nevertheless I have finished the ape guards who are finishing the miniatures of the original film for the time being. They are again …
Last of the Planet of the Apes characters is General Ursus from the sequel Beneath the Planet of the Apes. Ursus is also from Crooked Dices set of Simians and the miniature again catches the original brilliantly. With my paint job I tried to stick closely to the colours of the movie, although it’s not …
