Miniature I painted for a painting Challenge

This is a miniature I painted for the Tricorn painting challenge over on Steve Deans forum. It is a figure given away at Crisis I think 2013 in Antwerp so not commercially available.

The Body is by Perry Miniatures, the head is from my bits box so manufacturer escapes me at the moment.

The Flockbox

I got a Flockbox for x xmas which can be used for making your own grass tufts or for flocking your terrain.

“”The Flockbox is a unique and versatile flocking device that allows flocking of small to medium size objects at a fraction of the cost of purchasing a commercial flocking device.

‘Flock’ is nylon fibres like fine hair and is available in a huge range of colours, it is used to create the velvet feel on objects such as jewelry boxes, car dashboards, toys or longer flock can be used to create realistic looking grasses in miniature.

The Flockbox uses an electrostatic charge to attract the flock fibres onto your glued surface resulting in the fibres standing on their ends in the glue to produce a carpet effect.” Quoted from the manufacturers site.

You can find more info here

Here is a short video showing how it works. Curtesy The terrain tutor

 

Here are some tufts I made with the flock box:

I haven’t tried flocking terrain directly but I will post the results here when I did.

If you want to make your own tufts this device is recommended !!

2015 im Rückblick

Die WordPress.com-Statistik-Elfen haben einen Jahresbericht 2015 für dieses Blog erstellt.

Hier ist ein Auszug:

Die Konzerthalle im Sydney Opernhaus fasst 2.700 Personen. Dieses Blog wurde in 2015 etwa 33.000 mal besucht. Wenn es ein Konzert im Sydney Opernhaus wäre, würde es etwa 12 ausverkaufte Aufführungen benötigen um so viele Besucher zu haben, wie dieses Blog.

Merry Christmas

I want to wish you all a very merry christmas and a happy prosperous new year.

Furthermore I would like to thank you all for your support of my blog. For liking and sharing what I published. There will be a lot more to come in 2016. I am thinking about including tutorial videos about painting and modifying miniatures, terrain building and wargaming. Furthermore I would like to do some interviews with the big names in the hobby .

So if you think you should be interviewed drop me a line 🙂

The pictures of father christmas and his ,probably freezing, helper are quite old and I couldn’t take new ones as I gave the figures to good friends. So excuse the rather bad lighting!

So again Happy Christmas and a wonderful new year!!!
