    75mm Kimera Models, Tisiphone

    There was a big gap in painting this figure, caused by summer holidays (which is a very good reason indeed, of course). I kind of lost the thread a bit, but I'm reasonably happy with the end result. Two elements I wanted to improve upon with this figure were smooth skin tones (which I'd...

    Big pause in painting this, but she now done. I'll stick images in the relevant folder.

    Painting 12mm (1/144, N scale) figures

    I've just been asked to paint these tiny people, and I'd appreciate any advice on offer. At the moment I'm thinking: Wash in soapy water Remove from sprue Remove flash Superglue on ends of wooden skewers Prime, either white or black Paint using ink washes over white, or regular acrylics...

    extra magnification

    I use an illuminated table mounted magnifier, Doug. Doesn't work for everyone, as there can be a clash between paintbrush and magnifier, but I've learned to deal with that. Here it's being used (with another lamp) to illuminate a figure for photography. Here's a link to the one I use...

    The ultimate workshop?

    I'm in La Rochelle on my holidays, and I visited the Maritime Museum here today. The museum is excellent, and chockablock (suitable nautical term) with wonderful models. Here's just a flavour. Anyway, round the back you could have a gander at the workshop where this stuff is produced, and I...

    Model photos the easy way

    Really interesting post, Jakko, ta. I just use my modelling lights and a sheet of Styrofoam propped up as background - quick and easy, but not as good results, for sure: I wasn't aware of the HDR function, so I've just tried it. Here's a picture with the standard settings: And here's one...

    Work in progress. And a view you'd never see:

    75mm Kimera Models, Tisiphone

    Thanks very much. It's a Doctor Faust recipe: cover everything in Cavalry Brown, then increasing ratios of Dwarf Skin to Cav Brown, then add a pale pink made with white and a dash of Vermillion.

    75mm Kimera Models, Tisiphone

    I'm going to do the skin in two stages. First off, get a smooth(ish) uniform colour gradient across the model. That's where I'm at now. Next I'll do the eyes, then use glazes to add depth and blend the finish further. That's the plan...

    Zenithal priming is such a simple, effective technique that it really does feel like cheating.

    75mm Kimera Models, Tisiphone

    I've got her all together, apart from the big cat pelt. Gluing that in place would just be gratuitously adding complication to the task of painting, with no real benefit. This was tricky! (Maybe I should try making something with more than fourteen pieces!)

    75mm Kimera Models, Tisiphone

    Cleaning her up. Quite a few mould lines, but no real difficulties. Little bit of filling will be required. Love the quality! Look at these two, matching, faces. That's clever. My thumb, for scale.

    One last piece I missed, lost in the packing - which I almost chucked out!

    75mm Kimera Models, Tisiphone

    This is an amazing sculpt of Tisiphone, one of the Furies. Tisiphone is everything Thitania ain't. Virgil (the ancient Roman poet, not the Thunderbird) described her as 'pale and raging among the warring thousands' during battle, clothed in a robe 'dripping in blood'. It's also superbly...

    75mm Twin Goddess Miniatures, Thitania

    This is nearing completion. I'm working on the snowy base, using multiple layers of Secret Weapon Scenics' crushed glass mixed into their realistic water. Has a wonderful sparkle IRL.

    75mm Twin Goddess Miniatures, Thitania

    I like TMM - NMM (like object source lighting) looks great in photos, while TMM never shines in pictures like it does for real. My favourite ploy with TMM is to minimise the amount of actual metallic paint I leave visible - less is more and all that.
