The druids journey

Model: "Yarry, light feet" Company: Enigma miniatures Scale: 54 mm Story: I really fell in love with this mini: his posture and face make it unique and special, with a strong character. It was one of my first miniatures, so as a beginner I found it quite small and difficult at the beginning (Note that despite the scale is 54 mm, it is only 35 mm tall). As an advantage, it is only one piece!! As a first goal, I wanted to define a good and realistic base, full of wood elements. I was thinking of the "Mirkwood forest", so maybe my Hobbit would be Bilbo Baggins, looking for the correct path, followed by the dwarfs. Some wood pieces and cork are always quite useful. I also added little stones in the lower part, maybe it will be a river... I sometimes use different materials in order to get different textures: coffee, cinnamon, sand... Milliput to create some mushrooms and to finish the corners: Double primer just to see where could be t

Model: "Random encounter" Company: Fer Miniatures Sculpted by: Jonatán Monerris Scale: 54 mm Story: This was my first miniature serious project. I decided taking a painting course with Zwo, who teached us the basic principles and technics, use of brush, etc. I made some common mistakes, for example using too saturated tones... First attempt of basing: to create a natural forest with some natural components. I used different materials and textures, like pieces of wood, tea leafs or coffee. I was not happy at all, so I decided to recycle the entire project, trying different (and more unsaturated) colors and adding more components on the base. Final result (for the moment, it should not be definitive):

Model: Warhammer 40K sentinel Company: Games Workshop Story: I always wanted to learn weathering-rusting effects, applied on robots or Sci-fi machines. I spent some days looking for something useful when I found this piece on the 2nd hand market. It was very bad painted and broken, but I decided to restore it. A bottle of alcohol 96º and toothbrush can clean it in just 24 h, cheap and effective! First, I applied black primer and I started the composition. My first idea was to create a Sci-fi scenery, which included a duel between the sentinel and an Infinity Igao unit. The last was discarted later, because of the huge size differences... I added some pieces of plastic, which would be iron later. I modified sentinel´s legs position, looking for a more dynamic scene Double (Black & white) primer helps a lot defining lights and shadows. In this case, our light source would come from the right side of the photo: Testing weathering effects

Model (male): Airtis  Company: Enigma miniatures Scale: 54 mm Model (female): Artemis Company: Hasslefree miniatures Scale: 40 mm Story: This is a long-term project, almost a year from the begining to the end. Basing was complex but results were not bad at all.  First of all, I put some tree crust pieces forming a "three levels" composition, simulating rocks. Rocks in nature are meteorized and eroded, forming soils, I made it with real sand and some cork pieces. Later, vegetation covers little by little these soils. I used natural components picked up from the forest. Some grass and wood pieces will give a more natural aspect. I added the figure in the top, as a watcher of all the scene. Is important wondering what is he doing relative to his body position. Trees are always important simulating nature. In this case I added too much pieces, so I retired some of them later.  Testing tones. Blue gives us a "cold" environment.
