Derby Trophy : Mini Hydra

I was asked to make an award for one of my roller derby teammates. I stained the wood base with brown ink, and put several coats of varnish over it. The trophy is meant to be a miniature version of the hydra trophy, and it is polymer clay over wire with a black ink wash to bring out the details.The name is blurred out in case she finds this post (wouldn't want to spoil the surprise).

Minitaire Paint Storage Shelf Update 3

I finally finished casting the paint tray shelf top. As soon as the last blocks dry I can glue it together, and get to work on the bottom shelf layer. I plan on using smaller sized blocks so hopefully that one will progress much faster.

Iris and Roses Floral Painting

This is an acrylic painting I did while on vacation painted for my mother in law.

New Commision: Harlequin Skyweavers

I've got another commission to paint some more Harlequins. I'm going to take some pictures as I work this time to put together a tutorial. 

40k Tyranid Warriors Batch 1

These are about half of the Tyranid warriors in my husbands army. I got the prime and large weapons taken care of, the other seven models have deathspitters I believe. I'm glad I'm finally making progress on this army.

Dark Angel Terrain Series Part II

This is another building in my Dark Angel terrain Project. It was made using the #4930 Gothic City Ruins and part of the #4923 Gothic City Buildings Large Set from Pegasus Hobbies. I also used some bits from the Dark Angels Ravenwing boxed set for the banner toppers (I forgot to add the verdigris to the broken one on the left before I took this picture. The banners were made from green stuff.

 Close up of the ruined banners.

Minitaire Paint Storage Shelf Update 2

I've finished the trays, and I'm now working on the shelf holder. Here is my progress so far. The top will be double sided hirst arts fieldstone floor tiles. After this is finished I will need to make a third sheet to be the base. I have to finish these first before gluing on the walls so that they match up correctly. I really wish I had more than one mold so this could go faster.

Dark Angels Terrain Series Part I

These are the first pieces in some Dark Angel terrain that I've been working on. This building is a Pegasus Hobbies #4925 Gothic City Buildings Small Set #2. I've used some corrugated scrapbook paper for the roof.

Another angle of the building.

I based the stained glass windows on the shields of the Deathwing knight models.

I used another sheet of scrapbook paper placed behind the windows on each end of the building.

These are some statue columns I made using hirst arts blocks and some sculpty. I plan on making a larger terrain piece and attaching the columns to it with magnets for transport. The sculpty clay was much softer than the super sculpty I'm used to, and the robed figures turned out kinda doughy looking.

A close up of the column statues. Again I based them on the knight shields.
