Current Projects:
- Currently in the process of retouching most of what I considered “finished” minatures, including all of my Sisters Of Battle armed with bolters, special weapons (flamers, meltaguns, stormbolters) and heavy weapons (heavy bolters, heavy flamers, multimelta)
- This project consists of some light sculpting / customization work. Most of my battle line miniatures (all of which are 3D Printed) are slighter builds, a bit too “curvaceous waif” looking in their power armor and do not have capes or long cloaks, just tabbards. I used layers of rolling paper and PVA glue and black paint to create “leathery” black cloaks for these models that are rouched to simulate flowing capes. This helped improve the slightly-too-small silhouette of the sisters and introduce slight variations in otherwise limited monopose sculpts (about half of the minatures are standing, the other half kneeling + aiming).
- Additionally, many of these sculpts have minis with open-visored helmets. As much as the visible presence of skin was welcome to me as a painter, I preferred to instead affix metallic-paint-drybrushed nylon mesh, which gives the appearance of chainmail veils over the open-visored faces.
- Following these light sculpting changes (including swapping around heads to try to introduce more variation in monopose sculps), these minis were all ink-washed, oil washed (brown and black oil paint + linseed oil, brushed all over, allowed to cure for 30-45 mins and sponged off) and then retouched.

- A squad of five Celestian Sacresants were in need of retouching, weathering and correction of previous attempts to sculpt melee weapons that had warped / not printed correctly (as is common with long / thin areas of resin printing).
- “Chainmail” effect was added over the hoods of all the Sacresants, two warped halberds were converted (using jewelry chain and green stuff) into ball-and-chain maces, and extra scrolls / plume was added onto the Superiors “Spear Of The Faithful”. These models were also all given oil washing (on the red parts of the armor), ink + blood effects (on metallic / weapons and splatter/stains on cloaks), plus some retouching.
