I’ve found that joking with a cyclops NEVER ends well.

Really enjoy your work. Its good to see so many of the old sculps again. Keep up the great work

Still great stuff! I really like your painting. The old Grenadier minotaur from a few pages back might be my favorite!

some of these cool old models really deserve a better painter than me...but sometimes it’s fun to see what they look like when a “normal” person paints them up for gaming instead of a studio artist. Glad your enjoying the scenes so far.

. I have some more options lead, but I THINK that one may be the oldest in my collection.

Only 3 ogres? This guy looks like he likes those odds!

All Metal Magic C series. If anyone cares, the weapons on the styrofoam weapons rack were carefully carved from Heroscape figures.

I'd like those odds too in a flashy red Cape!

Is it red ink over black and white undercoat?

It’s black undercoat, with red paint and red ink wash...now that I told you, I have to kill you!

McEwan Miniatures griffin contemplating poetry with a Metal Magic cleric.

John McEwan (the sculptor) if famous for writing Starguard and sculpting/selling the miniatures for that game. This was the first Science Fiction miniature game ever.

Great vibes in this one, cool but of history too!

Great paintjobs - and what a great griffin that is! I was amazed to find that the bulk of the McEwan Miniatures range still seems to be 'in print' at tin-soldier.com. Some of them are obviously crude, but others, like the griffin, look perfectly serviceable in 1/72.

I actually prefer my monsters on the smaller scale of ye old days compared to the scale creep of today. More practical for use and storage, and more “charming” IMHO. But everyone has their personal preferences.

“This ones all yours Carl!”

Metal Magic facing off against a Black Tree Designs Rust Monster.
