Into to Airbrushing: Quicksilver Swords
This week I'd like to shine a light on my approach to diluting and applying paint with the airbrush. I've been having fun with my tripod and shot this intro outside. The background noise can be interpreted as peaceful or annoying. But I wanted to experiment a bit to keep things interesting, ...
Banshee of Acheron Part 2
I'm proud to present the second part of this mini series on the Banshee. I'm still working on a good sign off so I guess an awkward I love you will have to do. I record these videos at all hours and some thoughts are released under the moonlight. All that aside I hope you enjoy this video!Ne...

Presenting part one of two in a double feature on the Banshee of Acheron. This model is from an out of print line from the 90's called Rackham Miniatures, lovely stuff. I realize I've been painting a lot of Games Workshop figures for these tutorials so let's change it up!In part one I...
Celestial Barbarians Complete Process
Ahoy mateys! Keeping that INDOMITUS train rolling, let's paint some forces from the opposing battle line.I'm 40K curious, the temptation is high, so if were, theoretically, to start and army. This is how I'd do it. I have a few adjustments in hind sight. Some ultra matte clearcoat is nee...

Necron Exalted Warden, Start to Finish
I want to start getting a wider variety of projects in here, or a faster rate at least. So in this video I painted up the Exalted warden from INDOMITUS, the process took around 3-4 hours, I recorded and hour of footage, and shaved it down to 40 minutes.

Sir Galahad, Part 1, The Build
Time to take a swing at the John Blanche style, or Blanchitsu on the streets. I'm a huge fan of his work and this project will provide a lot of teachable moments. In this first video, I'm going over the build from the base up. I did my best to edit this footage down, it was hours of work in ...

Speed Painting, Take One
Speed painting falls into many categories, which is why I titled the video 'take one'. I can see numerous ways to get a quick and passable result. But this time, I present the technique I like to use on Zombicide figures. I'd want to have the whole set painted some day and within this li...

Greetings! This time around I recorded the process to create this waterfall. The video is a little longer because I included the painting as well, skip to 23:19 if you want to see the waterfall portion straight away. Enjoy!Edit* This was scheduled for last friday but the one two punch of Vimeo and P...

Feed Your Imagination
Good Morning! Well, it was when I recorded this. I'm still having problems with Vimeo, waiting on customer support. So this is another YouTube video, I don't like having this out there for people to potentially steal, please don't. If my choice is to take that risk vs not posting, I have...
Intro to Wetblending
This time around we're taking a look at wetblending. This is designed to present the technique in an simple an approachable way. I'll be making an advanced video next! P.S. Vimeo is a glitchy pit of despair which is why this is a YouTube link. This was supposed to go up at 8am originally. Ha...
Finished! Traitor Guardsmen
These sculpts are perfect in every way. When Golden Demon was announced to be returning to the US, I started preparing. This was going to be my unit entry into the 40K unit category. Just have to wait until next year I suppose. But I had a blast and now these traitors/heroes are ready to fight! I wa...
