Kneadatite, also known as Green Stuff, is an epoxy putty that’s used not only to make changes to miniatures but to sculpt miniatures. I did a few conversions without it, relying on plastic putty from the hardware store, but while it secured well it was not easy to sculpt. For my first use of Kneadatite…

All about buying, customizing, and painting miniatures.
Sarah Blitzer, IMEF Sniper
One of my first thoughts when I sat down to paint this miniature was, “Somebody give that girl a sandwich.” Fortunately, I had just gotten in my first batch of Kneadatite and decided to #GiveThatMiniASandwich. Sarah Blitzer, IMEF Sniper is a miniature from the original Reaper Bones Kickstarter. I continued practicing the techniques shared in…
Rex, Dark Future Hero
I continued practicing painting eyes with Rex, Dark Future Hero. Before I go on I want to point out the difference in detailing between the Bones version of Rex and the pewter version of Rex. I thought Rex looked a bit like Arnold as the Terminator but after seeing the pewter it looks like the…
Enforcer with Power Axe
I decided to practice conversions on an Enforcer by giving it a shield and axe. The shield was from some leftover Tau shield drone bits I picked up and the Power Axe was from Hasslefree Miniature’s Sci-Fi conversion pack. I tried to give this one more of a camouflage paint job and mixed things up to make it…
Black Friday/Cyber Monday 2016
I ordered the following between Black Friday and Cyber Monday in 2016. Some of them were good deals, others were small discounts on things I was planning to buy anyway, and there was one in particular that probably wasn’t much of a deal at all. Still, it diversified my stock of miniatures a bit by adding some from…
Andre Durant
I decided it was finally time to rally my courage and start practicing on painting eyes. First, I watched Dr. Faust’s How to Paint Miniature Eyes on youtube and then I started painting eyes on half a dozen miniatures. So far I’ve only finished Andre Durant but you can expect more miniatures with painted eyes to come. I plan…
Widow
Hasslefree Miniatures‘ Widow reminds me of Samatha Carter from Star Gate SG1. She’s dressed for adventure, is well armed, and has the tech angle covered. Ideally, I should have painted eyes on this miniature but fortunately the sculpt is such that that detail is obscured. I was very pleased with how this paint job turned out and am looking forward…
Brooke
Hasslefree Miniatures’ Brooke miniature reminds me of River Tam from Firefly/Serenity. She looks ready to leap into action and kick some butt. I was pleased with how this paint job turned out but it was clear that I really should have painted the eyes. I have to get over my hesitation to even try. I’m also not happy with…
Enforcer with Large Biosword
I plan to use the Enforcers from Mantic Entertainment’s Deadzone wargame as miniatures for playable androids in my upcoming Science Fantasy game. I decided to make the next Enforcer a tribute to one of the mechanical characters from Phantasy Star Online. Can you guess which HUcast inspired this? Adding the biosword was the first major modification that I made to a…
X Clone Enforcer
I’m a big Megaman fan so, of course, I had to make one of the Enforcer miniatures that I’m working on into a tribute. I gave this one a pistol, a pouch, and the “Super Arm“. Again, like with the previous Enforcer which I did at the same time, I was surprised and disappointed by how…
