Another Spyglass miniature and the next Painting Crusade
On November 01, 2008 in Miscellaneous, New Miniatures
Currently most of my painting time is dedicated to finishing a few BattleTech miniatures which have been on my table for way too long. But for some reason I needed a stress relief and decided to tackle a Spyglass miniature – meet Hurk the Noblin. Hurk was released in a limited run of only 200 copies and standing a mere 19mm tall to the top of his head not exactly a giant. A fun miniature to paint and another fantastic sculpt by Steve Buddle.
On another note, Quentin, the webmaster of the Belgian Dogs of War dropped me a mail announcing the next Painting Crusade. Edition VI will be on February, 7th-8th in Brussels. Again the guest list is an impressive who is who in miniature painting: David Waeselynck, Mathieu Lalain, Richard Poisson and Patrick Corhay. Definitely an event to keep an eye on.
Games Day Germany 2008 …

… was today. And overall it was a terrific event. However the weather was definitely too hot. Although the Golden Demon competition had noticeably fewer entries this year, the overall quality was excellent as always. Very strong categories (in my opinion at least) were 40k Single, Duel, Large Scale and Diorama. The Slayer Sword went to Ben Komets for his 54mm scale diorama – a well deserved win in my opinion. Congratulations Ben!
As always it was nice to meet so many like minded people, old and new friends, and chat about the hobby. I have taken several pictures and once I sort through them I will post a few on the site. Meanwhile I have added my humble contribution to the Golden Demon to the Games Workshop gallery – Sergeant Centurius of the Legion of the Damned. Of course I had to choose probably the toughest category of the day for my entry …

Mini-Art-Con 2008
On March 11, 2008 in Miscellaneous
Last Saturday was the Mini-Art-Con 2008 in Mühlheim in Germany and what an amazing event it was! I estimate there were about 300 visitors not counting the exhibitors.
It was great to meet so many like-minded people and spend a whole day discussing the best hobby in the world. Thanks to all the people of MaxPaint and of course my friends Gerrie and Jasper of Pendragon Studios – it was a blast meeting all of you. And then there was the Red Devil Contest … what can I say … there were around 200 entries and the quality was just overwhelming. One could easily get lost just staring at the cabinets discovering all the fantastic entries and taking in all the details of the miniatures and dioramas. Continue reading Mini-Art-Con 2008 »
