P3 Bronze winner - Croak Hunter

Went to GenCon and entered my croak hunter. I think I did an amazing job and the judges agreed. I agree with the assessment that the browns were a little close and I should have taken the yellows and blues markings up over the neck.

Thanks to Privateer Press and everyone for the award!

Orange Crush is complete

As you know, we have submitted 2 Models (actually 1 Model and 3 Solos) to Project Orange Crush and FoodMachine. The Galvanizer and the Attunement Servitors have shipped. We at 13th Hour Miniature are honored to be able to support the Project even in this small way.

Please please please, find a local gaming group doing Foodmachine and support this worthy cause.

Rate Change Jan 1st, 2014

The complication of doing miniatures based on sizes has become too much of a burden for us. So, instead of trying to figure out that a land raider is a large model plus assembly plus a squad... We are switching to an hourly rate. Want a squad of space marines fast just too get them on the table? 1 hour. Want a display piece to sit in your cabinet? Ask for 5 hours. 

Just like auto repair, estimates on time will be made and held to. If you want 5 hours and it takes 3 to get it to te level you want then you only are charged 3 hours. If after 5 hours you want a little more then every hour over is extra cost. 

Now, saying this, I can paint fast. I will never ever lie to anyone saying it took 4 hours when it took 3. As always I will be as up front and honest as I can. 

News

I might be working on a model for the OrangeCrush Food Machine army! I submitted my info. Lets see what they say. 

This week is picture week! Pics of the Rhulic army is coming up as well as the Bronze P3 Grandmaster entry. Work begins on my entries into the Crystal Brush next week. I will be taking pictures along the way so everyone can see the progress. I will win a gold this year. 

In the name of the (Persian) king!

I was given a little less than a week to paint up this Persian King for a client to give to a family member as a birthday gift. Lots of freehand and lots of blending. Also, was asked to do something special with the base without taking away from the model. I think he turned out very well.
