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. 

Artemis....Again

This is my 4th attempt at this model and I still can't get her right. Highlights are rubbish, she's too brown overall and I can't paint faces on 40mm models.
So after some careful consideration I'm going to strip her once again (throwing her out of the window was an option too) and re-do her once my painting skills have leveled up. For now I'm going to work on other models, so hopefully I'll have an update about those soon.

Artemis - WIP

This is my 4th attempt at painting this model as mentioned in a previous post. ~ here. I decided to go for a darker skin tone using Citadel paints; Mournfang Brown, Bugman's glow and Cadian Fleshtone, which was kindly lent to me by Mountain of Metal. I've still got to do more on her skin but I'm pretty pleased with how she is turning out. 

Hopefully I'll managed to get her finished this time, so wish me luck!

4th Time Lucky

A little while ago I bought the gorgeous Hassle Free miniature; Artemis and was really excited to paint her. She's a really nice model and is well priced for being 40mm too but because of my luck and lack of experience when it comes to painting, I have had to strip her three times. So hopefully 4th time lucky and I'll be able to upload photo of her finished or WIPs.

Painting is fun. Yeah!

Well I've finally gotten into painting models after being influenced by my boyfriend. After seeing him paint his Flames of War and Dystopian Wars models (among many, many others), I decided I'd give it ago with his help. My first project(s) were two 28mm Hassle Free miniatures which were a present from Salute 2012.  I painted them last week and they were my first attempts at painting.

My next project - 54mm model

For my next project, my boyfriend found an old 54mm model which he stripped. I painted this model this weekend (pictures to come soon) and I plan to finish the bases on the other models next weekend.
