A look at my work so far



I started painting models last May after being influenced by my boyfriend and in just over a year, i have only fully completed five models; although I have started many others but haven't finished them yet. This post is really for me to prove to myself that I am improving in my painting and the more models I paint the more I should improve (hopefully). 

So starting from my first completed model from May until now, here are my completed models.











Thanks for reading!

Wamp Hasslefree Competition - completed

I finally finished my entry for the Hasslefree competition and I'm pretty pleased with the results. I've been working on the model and base for a good few weeks now trying to make and paint it to the best of my abilities. For a first attempt at making a display base, I'm really pleased with the results. The base is made from cork while the tree is a combination of wire, plaster and green stuff with lichen as the leaves. I really want to practice using resin water some more, so that will be one of my goals over the summer while I'm home from university.


There are loads of amazing entries already in the Wamp Gallery and hopefully I'll receive some feedback on my model so I know what I can do to improve in the future.
