Ponty-Painter

Hey there, I'm a keen painter and tabletop game painter based in Pontardawe Wales. Seem to get a lot of complements on my miniatures when people see them and thought it was about time I started a blog to update finished products and stuff that I am currently working on. I used to spend so much time playing and painting games workshop miniatures and still enjoy building and painting some of the great models they produce, have now found myself hooked on the world of Malifaux created by wyrd games. A great game I love playing, fantastic miniatures that have something for everyone to find interesting and entertaining (and sometimes disturbing, lol). I'll look forward to knowing what people think of my models and love to know what can be done to help me improve. Thanks alot and hope you enjoy my work so far. #malifaux #wyrd miniatures

First post on way to long but I have been doing some hobby I promise lol, wip Wednesday here’s some bases for my @infinitythegame aleph force but I havnt started my aleph models as still not decided on a colour scheme lol, the bases are made by antenocitis workshop and they make so many great products and great quality, they are the only company I use for all my infinity bases.

Recently purchased an air brush and been having fun learning the basics of it, decided to start on terrain before attempting models, this piece should look great for my @infinitythegame table

My 9 year old niece painted her first miniature the other day and I couldn’t be prouder, what an amazing job for a 9 year, I first started the hobby when I was 13 and couldn’t paint this good then, couldn’t even paint this good when I came back to the hobby at age 21, now I’m thinking of spoiling her with some more minis to paint, any suggestions? Batman miniatures game prices seem to have gone through the roof

First finished models of 2018 (started them a few weeks ago but finished today), and first finished models in what feels like ages, hopefully get fast again and start blasting out models and posting more again, New Years target is to learn how to airbrush so fingers crossed it will go well lol

Finally finished getting the nomads Corregidor 300point box finished assembled and I’ll hopefully get them sprayed this week, I have only the boots and bases left to paint on a load of agulaciles so hopefully get them finished soon although the bases take a while and look forward to getting more hobby done in the next few weeks after a busy work and family schedule the last few weeks

First time using any decals on minatures for a few years and these are the the three products I found essential when doing my imperial knights which came out great Step 1: apply ardcoat or other gloss varnish to area where transfer is going and wait to dry Step 2: apply the transfer as normal using water but also when it's on model and trying to get the transfer to bend to the shape use the decal soft Step 3: when dry apply the lahmian medium to the area to take away the shine there from the gloss varnish
