This year's Monster March has been a breeze and the result is quite nice. Using Contrast Paints to paint this girl was super easy. I think I name her "Hilda". Some fluff about Hilda will feature later on this Blog. Keep Posted! In the end, converting the model was hugely rewarding. It even took more … Continue reading Monster March – finished!
Last week, I entered @swordmaster's Monter March '21 painting challenge and I scratch-built my goreblight model. This week I painted the beasty, and it's become lovely orgross, depending on how one looks at it. The result is more than satisfactionary, leaving just the base to be done. I painted the model using contrast paints; it … Continue reading Monster March ’21 #2 & Jarvis

This year, the MonsterMarch challenge coincides with … Continue reading mo-mo-mo-moooooonster March!

The Abbess class ship of the line is my favourite model of Armada until now. The decoration on the bow, the ostentatious (but not too) rear castle, combined with an awful amount of sail, looks great to me. I'm also quite proud of the paint job. Two more pictures below. Now my ships have been … Continue reading I love the Abbess (ship) model

Preparation First, before touching any paint brush, prepare the ships. As the ships are resin, you'll need to … Continue reading Armada – painting tutorial
