posted by Hddvh
Welcome to the second episode of


Weekly digest!


A biweekly summary of links guiding you to great tutorials, product reviews worth a look, breath takingly painted miniatures, interesting sculpts and awesome inspirational sources. 

If you've missed the first part of this sumamry you can find it here. 

This time I've collected more inspirational links then miniatures. So prepare for a lot of quiet interesting step-by-step articles, reviews and tutorials!


Inspirational


  • Chris Clayton, the person behind Modelworks showed his way of creating a stunningly realistic painted face on a 1/6 scale bust. Although this news got already around I'll name it here as it is realy stunning and should be seen by many many people! Above you see a first shot of the finished bust by Mathieu Fontaine that I've found over at facebook.
  • How to make spikes out of iron powder and superglue by Weisern
  • Do you ever wanted to know how people create a realistic asphalt on their bases? Then you should take a look at this tutorial over at The Brush Brothers Blog
  • Here's a late, but different review of the Games Day Germany written by one of the judges.
  • And as we're into the games day here you have the first 2 articles about Roman's massive Diorama which got him the Slayersword. Part 1 and Part 2
  • If you're still looking for a solution to transport your figurines I have 2 options for you (and a third one will follow soon on this blog!): Go the simple route and buy a completed box (a nice review of the box hobbyzone offers) or use parts of our favorite store IKEA. (a self made, low budget box)
  • Some interesting thoughts and pictures about Reapers first Kickstarter: Reaper Bones
  • Simon Miniatures is known for exquisite miniatures. Here's a review of his Sigfried.

Welcome to my first episode of


Weekly digest!


A biweekly summary of links guiding you to great tutorials, product reviews worth a look, breath takingly painted miniatures, interesting sculpts and awesome inspirational sources.
To be honest, it's not an idea of mine but of Adam Stefańczyk. He has been collecting a lot of hot links for us on his polish blog. Sadly most of us are not able to read his content without using a translator like google. You can find his lastest collection right here. So I've decided to start something very similar to his weekly report and bring you a summary of what happened the past weeks on every 2nd Sunday.

  • Den of Imagination promo video
    A nice insight into our hobby and the work of those crazy guys!


Tutorials & Reviews
  • Check out the Winter White Wash Camo tutorial over on the 5th dimension.
    If you ever wanted to know how to achieve these supercool white weathered vehicles you should check this tutorial. 
  • Painting a dragon from start to finish by Studio Akaranseth
    What a bummer! A great step by step article about painting one of the dragons from Darksword Miniatures. 
  • Skink priest step by step by Sproket
    Here's part 1 of David's upcoming articles how he's painting one if the currently most famous miniatures: The GW Skink Priest 
  • Vehicle painting an Weathering Workshop with Farbfanatiker by (T)Raumschmiede
    Here you can find the impressions of a special workshop held by Farbfantiker. He taught his students to paint and weather a tank within a short time to obtain a geat result.
  • An interesting call to promote and sell your painted miniatures. I'd highly recommend to send an email to Martin if you want to push the highest bid up in the sky (better talking of a more realistic price worth your effort)
  • Another great tutorial, this time it's all about painting leather in a very realistic way.It's really worth a look!
