Gimme some horses!

You might have noticed a lack of painting activity on my part lately. Well, I have to say that I have been pretty busy with other stuff in my life, but also sculpting a 54mm model which I cannot reveal yet. But I will... when the time comes! In the meantime, and now that I've got a camera once again, here is a quick shot of what is next in line in my painting table:



Yeah, you know what they are! And also, this is coming next in my painting line, as I told you not so long ago:



Back to painting! Stay tuned...

Death Korps of Krieg At Ease

This is my squad of 10 guardsmen from the Death Korps of Krieg. Again, another paintjob for my armies, following a very similar scheme as the other Kriegs I painted in the past. This unit went to Golden Demon Germany 2011 and won Silver in 40k Squad. There is a partially completed WIP process in the WIP section of the blog which I will finish sometime, because hopefully more Krieg will come in the future!

Mount San Savino Show 2011

As you may have noticed by now, because I am sure you are already following the events calendar on my blog (if you don't yet, what are you waiting for!!), this weekend the Mount San Savino contest was celebrated with loads of fantastic miniatures.


I couldn't go but here I leave you with this link to awesome photographic material about the contest you have to check out! In the meantime, look at this new beauty by Knightmodels, future release coming soon!

The curse of photography

You might have noticed lately that I am not uploading any of my recent works in the last few months. This is mainly because I was thinking of buying a new camera. I wasn't sure about what camera to buy, and when I decided to postpone the buying decision, my old camera fell to the floor and died.


This is not really my old camera, but illustrates the situation

And so there are no new pics on the blog, and there is a lot of silence on my part. I still have to post pics of the Korps of Krieg unit that went to GD Germany, I hope I can when I get my hands into some nice piece of gear. But then the question arises. Which camera to buy? I'm a total loser in what photography is concerned, and I really need to buy something that enables me to make good pictures, but I don't need to spend gazillions of euros/dollars in a camera that could even travel in time if I knew how to do that. Can anyone with a little more expertise in photography help? I know the most important thing is the light and the optics not the camera itself, but there are so many cameras and options that I'm just overwhelmed. Point and shoot? Reflex? Damn!

In the meantime I'm preparing new stuff, and as soon as I get a new camera I promise I will share it with all of you.
