The third miniature I finished painting from Reaper Bones’ third Kickstarter. I was impressed by how much character was captured in this sculpt by James Van Schaik. It was one of those miniatures that almost painted itself. For the body, I started with a flesh colored undercoat followed and followed with a coat of reddish…

Nova Corp: Soldier
Another miniature from the original Reaper Bones Kickstarter, I started off painting just one so that it could serve as a guide for uniformly painting the remaining Nova Corp miniatures. I plan to use the set, once complete, as generic SciFi soldiers for whatever scenario comes up. I like that the Nova Corp miniatures are…
Starfinder First Dry Run
I ordered the Starfinder Core Rulebook over my long break from painting miniatures and have been absolutely won over by it. I’m definitely going to use it for my upcoming Science Fantasy campaign rather than modding Pathfinder… But before creating homebrew content I felt that it was important for me to get a feel for…
Deadlands Noir: Femme Fatale
One of the first miniatures from the Reaper Bones III Kickstarter that I painted was the Deadlands Noir Femme Fatale. I was pleased with the fact that the eyes are visible… I’ve started a new strategy, painting on the iris after using the DIP method so that I can wipe away mistakes and start over without…
Red Mantis Assassin
During my long stretch of radio silence here I received my rewards from the Reaper Bones III Kickstarter. I still have many miniatures from the original Reaper Bones Kickstarter to paint but that didn’t stop me from backing number III (or number IV even). The Red Mantic Assassin was one of the miniatures that I…
Rosie, Chronotechnician
Rosie the Chronotechnician was another miniature from original Reaper Bones Kickstarter. This one wasn’t as emaciated as Sarah Blizter but still fell into #GiveThatMiniASandwich territory.
Los Viejos
Over the summer I picked up a set of Khurasan Miniatures‘ Los Viejos… These wonderful anthropomorphic armadillos will make a great addition to my upcoming Starfinder campaign. I’m thinking that I’ll open them up to players as a subrace of Ysoki. These are great sculpts with a lot of potential so I might pick up more down…
Relic Knight Sophia Drake with Female Dress Cap Head
On Black Friday a year ago I was excited to snatch up the Relic Knight Sophia Drake model at a steep discount! Sadly, the quality of the miniature really let me down… The plastic was unyielding and misfit. The weapon and head were smashed. I had similar disappointment with the Sedition Wars miniatures which were…
Enforcer with Machine Gun and Backpack
I finished up another Enforcer for use as an Android in my upcoming Starfinder one off. This one carries a Machine Gun and is painted Orange and White. It also wears a backpack that stand in for a jet pack, battery pack, shield generator, or other equipment.
Reaper Gray Aliens
Well, it’s been awhile. To be honest I got far more into Fire Emblem Heroes than I anticipated but that was largely a “time of life” thing. I just had my second child and my first is only three – so it was hard to find time for intensive hobbies there for awhile. But things…
