Just when my Saga project was about to begin I had to squeeze in another small painting project. Last week Albert Uderzo passed away, illustator and writer (after the late René Goscinny) of “Asterix & Obelix”. As those unbending Gauls were two of my childhood heroes (well, amongst many others) and with the passing away …

It‘s time to finally start playing with all my wonderful toys again. Since I dropped my hobby many years ago I did not play any game. Two years ago I picked up the brushes again with the intention to only paint the minis, not to play any games. I was aware which games people were …
I‘m going to post more WIP pictures in the future, starting with my actual Conan project. I had so much fun painting Conan and his fellows and I love the movie so much that I want more related miniatures. I‘m very happy that I could buy the absolutely awesome figures by Forge of Doom. They …
It’s a bit quiet here because there were lots of things to do in the past weeks. Now we have this Corona-crisis going on and that changes day-to-day business immensely. In Germany we are (as in most european countries) forced to stay at home if we can work from home. On Facebook I can read, …
Not much time these days, but I‘m glad, that I can find a bit time for painting. I finished Connor McLeod, the Highlander. The miniature is by Rogue Miniatures. The casting was fine, but somehow he appears a bit flat. Not sure if it‘s the pose or the sculpt (or my paintjob?), but something doesn‘t …
I was never a Spawn fan and wasn‘t even looking for a miniature, but when I saw this one, I had to buy it (next to some Masters of the Universe miniatures, but that‘s another story). I never really liked the 90‘s Spawn movie, but it was interesting enough to watch it a couple times. …

April O‘Neil was always a smart and charming sidekick to the TMNT. I had to add her to my collection and chose another Heroclix figure. Heroclix has the movie and the cartoon version. Although i found her character in the 1990 movie pretty good, I went for the cartoon version because nostalgia hit me again. …
After starting the Foot Clan last week it was only a matter of time until the inevitable Shredder appeared on the streets of New York. I haven’t watched any TMNT cartoons since my childhood, but I remember Shredder very well as an always serious threat to the Turtles. He had fun scenes and never got …
I managed to paint a couple Kung Fu fighting, super secret and silent Ninjas over the weekend. Of course they had to be members of the Foot Clan, all time foes to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It seems like my TMNT collection is going to be a bit thrown together from all kinds of …
And now for something completely different: As a little side project I built a paling fence for my photo backdrops. I felt that I needed more terrain to diversify my photos, so here is step one. The fence is made from balsa wood. Maybe some posters will be added later. And now: Back to painting …
