The Ghosts of Midlam Manor: Kasperov

Midlam Miniatures is a small company that has run several kickstarters for specific sets of metal miniatures. This one is from a set called “The Ghosts of Midlam Manor” and was for a set of 10 ghostly minis, back in early 2018. My experience with Midlam is very good, I have backed a few of […]

Is it Confrontation? A Grim Reaper-style skeleton

A metal miniature that I got in a trade some time ago. I do not actually know who made it or what it is called. I think it is a Confrontation miniature on account of the scale, the quality of the sculpt, and because of the horribly thin arm parts that needed to be superglued […]

Beware the Jabberwock, my son (the ancient one!)

I have been mining my mountains of minis on the hunt for miniatures from last century to paint and enter in The Old School Fantasy Painting Party over on the LAF forum, I have uncovered a few nuggets of golden oldies I would like a crack at. However, whether I can manage to make time to paint […]

Easy does it. Getting back into it.

So I have not painted anything since early June due to tendonitis in both arms. Now, at last, my arms are better, and I can get back to some painting. However, my IRL circumstances have recently changed and this will cut seriously back on my free time the rest of this and the first half of […]

Lead Painters League round 6

Sorry about the delay in posting this. It has been more than a month since I posted, real life has been catching up to me and I have simply not had the time to reshoot a bunch of pictures as most of the original pictures I took did not turn out well. Also, I have […]

Lead Painters League Round 5

One of the reasons I joined the Lead Painters League was that I sometimes need a kick in the seat of my pants to get out of my comfort zone and paint something different. I have over the years amassed a veritable mountain range of minis, alot of which have come from an assortment of […]
