News.

I was asked to do an interiew for a painting/modelling forum called WAMP earlier this year. I finally ended up responding to the interview questions last week - you can check it out here, if you're interested. interview

I've also added some more figures to the sculpting gallery - a vampire girl in two states of transformation. -sebastian

Another new figure added to the painted gallery. This time a GW Nurgle champion, which I painted for my friend Sven :) -sebastian

I have added a new figure to the painting gallery - Ujahu from Enigma. I wrote 2 little articles about the process of creating his base, and painting the figure, which you can see here: tutorials -sebastian

Because I think I have too many minis lying around the place, I have decided to add a new 'For Sale' section to the site, showing some of my painted figures that are available to buy. I will update this now and then.

Also, if you haven't noticed yet, the 5 new sculpts are now available in the 'Guild of Harmony' range of figures - Tarika, Torphaal, Meliarra, Zargun and Karick-Dar. Have a look in the Shop if you're interested! -sebastian

Hello, March already! The year is going far too quickly for my taste.

I've added a new figure to the painting gallery - the Sulfur Chevalier, another chevalier des baronnies from Ilyad. And I also added a GW figure last week, Grimgor Ironhide. Both of these were commission works. -sebastian

Happy New year everyone! :)

I've added a new mini to the painting gallery - Garlan de Brall from Alkemy. -sebastian

Another new mini for the gallery - Morphus from Enigma.

I also decided to re-organise my painting gallery slightly. Previously I had the figures organised by manufacturer, but I don't think this was completely logical. So I have now put the figures in chronological order, from the most recently painted, to the oldest. And split them into years. I think it's more interesting this way, because it shows the way the painting has changed with time. -sebastian

I added the photos of my two GD entries to the GW gallery. I was very lucky to win silver with the Squig Hopper, and gold with the Sentinel.

Once again we had a fantastic GD weekend, and made it a great social event. We also took photos of a lot of the entries and winners, that can be seen here: OZ GD 08 photos -sebastian

I have added a few new things to the gallery. First of all, there are the pictures of Urmuth - I have written an article using this figure, about painting flesh and using colour. You can see the article here: Urmuth article

Also, I have added photos of the 'sniper girl' from the Chick Challenge 2008 to the gallery.

Before Urmuth, at the start of October, I was very busy getting a couple of fun entries ready for our Australian GD 08. This competition is in progress right now, so after the finals day - November 15 - I should have a few more new things to show. -sebastian

Many thanks to Kirk (Torm3nt) for helping out with some of the PHP coding for the Shop pages. I really appreciate it! Check out Torm3nt's website, My Model Case:a voting/ranking resource for miniature artists, and an artistic environment for all miniature painters and sculptors to seek good constructive criticism or showcase their projects. -sebastian

The new online store is up and running - see the link to 'shop' on the left menu. Through this shop, you can purchase casts of some of the figures I have sculpted this year, for my own little line of miniatures. -sebastian

I am home again from my trip to World Expo, and a short tour around Spain and Italy. World Expo was the most fantastic event...the best figurines event I have attended by a long way. And I was very honoured and excited to receive a gold medal in the 'master painting' category for my dispaly of miniatures. :) I will add a little report of the event with some photos in the coming week.

I have added the photos to the gallery of a new miniature I made especially for World Expo - Lathiem from Enigma. - sebastian

I added the write-up for the chevalier finally - not exactly the promised 'day or two', I know, sorry about that! I became distracted with other projects...sculpting more figures for my little mini line, which will be released soon - the figures will be available from late July, hopefully.

In other news, I am heading overseas to Spain for World Expo on July 3-6 In Girona. I leave home on June 30th, and will arrive home on June 22nd - I am stopping off in Italy for a week or so before coming back to Australia. - sebastian

I have added another mini to the gallery page - a chevalier des baronnies, from Ilyad Games. I will add the write-up with a little description of the colours and techniques in the next day or two. :) - sebastian

Finally another update. I have been doing some sculpting recently, and over the coming weeks I am hoping to introduce my own little mini range, with some sculpts of my own being cast and available to buy. I've had the first on cast already, in white metal, and the casting quality looks great - so now I just need to get my act together, get the next minis cast, and start to put things into motion!

I'll put up some updates here as things progress, to let you know what is happening, what will be available, and how you can get hold of it. So stay tuned! :) - sebastian

Hello everyone, I'm finally settled in my new house, and I've been keeping busy with minis, of course ;) I've added new minis to the gallery: A gamesday orc from GW, an aurlok thunder-warrior from Alkemy, Brom from Enigma and a rock chick hehe :)

I'll try to update the sculpting section soon, because I have a few things to show - I've been doing lots of sculpting recently, and I am hoping to have a couple of minis cast and ready to sell over the next few months. - sebastian

Two more minis added to the gallery: a marauder barbarian mini I sculpted back in May as training before starting work on the skaven, and which I finished off and painted as a last minute entry for OZ GD 07; and another Rackham mini, Kelian Durak, painted this week for a little article \ I wanted to write about painting metallics. You can see the article here: metallics article

I would also like to apologise for the delay in me adding the write-ups for the recent minis. I am moving house at the moment, and it has been very chaotic at home recently - all my spare time has gone towards finishing off a commission mini, and writing that metallics article. So I am sorry, but please be a little patient, and hopefully I will get around to it eventually! - sebastian

I've added the photos of the Ilyad Orc (sculpted by allan c hehe) to the gallery. It was the last mini I painted for my Europe trip, and I painted it for the Ravage Mix Open as a tribute to Allan, my hero! :P - sebastian

Hi friends, I am finally back from my amazing trip through Europe! It was so incredible...the best trip! I will be posting a report soon with photos of all my travels, and the great people I met on the way. Right now, I have posted the photos of the 3 new minis I made for UK GD: a Nurgle marine mutant, Gandalf, and a skaven mini. You can see them in the gallery section. I will add the write-ups with some explanation of the painting etc. soon, please forgive the delay but I have been EXTREMELY busy since I returned home...a million things that need doing! But it's good to be back :) - sebastian

Hello everyone, I am very sorry for the lack of updates recently! Some of you might know that I am going on a big trip to Europe soon, and I will be attending the UK GD, the Ravage Mix Open in Paris at Salon du jeu, and the Italy GD - and of course, I have been incredibly busy preparing for my trip and furiously painting to try to get some entries ready for the competitions. So I am afraid that it will be a little while longer before I have anything new to show you...not until I return. But I promise lots of new minis and a full report on all the events that I attend, when I get back home :) I am leaving soon, in about 3 weeks, and I will be gone for 2 months - I will be back in late October. So I apologise if you mail me and I don't reply during that time. I'm leaving so soon because I am going on a tour trip around Egypt before heading to Europe hehe, but it means that my time is severely running out! I still have 2 more minis that I want to paint before I go, argh...oh well, at least I should be able to sleep on the plane, eh? haha. - sebastian

I have added 3 more minis to the gallery - a beastman and an Iron Warriors marine in the GW section, and a special addition to the 'other' category: a mini I painted for Enigma Miniatures, for the new 'Massive Darkness' 30mm range. - sebastian

I finally got around to doing the write-up for virago...curse my lazy ways! hehe, well it has been added to virago in the gallery section now, if you are interested. - sebastian

I have just finished painting Virago, from Ilyad Games - I love that mini. It is such a shame that Ilyad has disappeared. I added the pics to the gallery, in the 'other' section. Also, I forgot to mention before: a week or two ago I added a link in the 'tutorials' section to another small article on blending I wrote on the 'Oz Painters' forum. - sebastian

I've added another Rackham mini to the gallery: Varghar, a commission work. - sebastian

I've added my aqua marine to the gallery, from our little painting challenge we held between some friends recently. - sebastian

Hello everyone - I have added another new mini to my gallery, a female dwarf from Reaper. It was a gift for my friend in Italy :) -sebastian

After mentioning her in the news post in September, the time has finally come for me to add Viraë to the gallery. So, I hope you enjoy the pics, even though I painted the mini some months ago haha :) -sebastian

Happy new year everyone! :) Hope you all have a great 2007.

I just finished a new miniature, it's an orc from a new Spanish mini line, called Zenit Miniatures. The photos have been added to the gallery. -sebastian

I have just added Mark's minis to the gallery section. Check out our new artisan's contributions. Hope you all had a merry Christmas. Best wishes for the new year. -weisern

Well, I'm finally finished my uni work, and GD is also over - so as I promised, I finally have some pics to show! First we have an armoured skeleton, a bit of fun I had to celebrate - some practice at sculpting, and some fun with the painting with more metallics. Then, my three GD entries from this year - Aragorn from LOTR single category, an ork nob from 40k single, and a dark elf from the fantasy single category. I was fortunate enough to win the gold with aragorn and the ork, but the dark elf missed out altogether I'm afraid, haha! But oh well, I still like him :) I hope you like the minis, and once again thank you to everyone at GD this year for the great day, so much fun to see you all again - and meet some new people as well. See you next year! -sebastian

Check out my recently finished mercenary assassin in the gallery. -weisern

Finished my bestigor for the Australian Golden Demon competition. We find out results 11 November. -weisern

It's been a while since any news, so just a quick update - I'm still madly working on my university thesis, but I'm getting there! Anyway, back in August I was asked by 'Gameforces' - a Spanish miniature magazine - to write a painting article: a step-by-step article about the painting of a whole miniature. I can't reveal the photos until after the magazine comes out - in November I think- so you will have to wait until then to see the result I'm afraid, sorry! The miniature I chose to paint was Viraë, the queen of the Fiannas, of the Kelt Sessairs, from Rackham. -sebastian

Another mini added to my GW gallery: death guard mk. II! -sebastian

Check out August's Australian White Dwarf #320, for an article by Sebastian on shading metallics. It has lots of step by step pics and a lengthly description of the techniques used. Here is the online version. -weisern

I've finished my Sentinel of Danakil. -weisern

-sebastian

Finished my first commission mini, hurrah! Check out my gallery for Kaya the Wildborne. ;-) -weisern

-sebastian

Sebastian's Kaïn is finished, along with 6 pics and write up.

I've decided to put Wandyr up in my gallery eventhough he's not amazing. We each get 1 rack mini with metallics to show, hehehe ;-) -weisern
