A somewhat more unusual painting project is Marv from the film/comic Sin City. At least among my readers presumably all of them know the film and know that it, like the original, is staged in black and white. Only a few color accents are set (blood, a red dress, lipstick). With the embodiment of Marv, …

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 …
After Leon last week it was now the turn of his sidekick Mathilda, who is phenomenally played by Natalie Portman. Already with her debut role she left a lasting impression and still surprises me with interesting roles. The miniature was in a set of Rogue Miniatures together with Leon. Although it is much more strongly …

Léon: The Professional was one of those films that aroused my fascination for movies. The taciturn and nonchalant killer, who takes the orphaned girl under his wing, offered a lot of sympathy and maybe a little bit of identification potential, despite his daily business. But what I really remember from the beginning was the aggressive …
Maybe Hit-Girl was the biggest surprise in “Kickass” for me. This overly violent girl with the dry sayings was a refreshing break with viewing habits and on top of that wonderfully played by Chloe Grace Moretz. I had been looking for a suitable miniature for a long time, which I could convert. By chance I …
… this sentence was one of the many things that excited me about “Kick Ass” back then. There was a lot to laugh about, a well-known story told in a new and different way and some unforgettable characters. Kick Ass is probably the only comic adaptation for which I didn’t read the original, although I’m …

Taxi Driver is one of Martin Scorsese’s most iconic films and also one of Robert de Niro’s most iconic roles. I love this film and have painfully realized that I haven’t seen it for ages. Painting the miniature of Travis Bickle by Studio Miniatures was really a lot of fun. The design is phenomenal, it …
