Title: Jay Adan's Minis
Post by: Jay Adan on September 19, 2019, 01:07:32 PM: Hey folks!

I've been lurking about for a long time and thought I'd jump in and make myself comfortable by creating a little place to post my works.

To start with this is The Twins from the board game "Hate" (from CMON). This is the latest piece I've photographed. I've actually painted about another 30 minis since this was completed, but then I do this for a living.

If you want more information about how I painted this (and have an hour to kill) you can see my video on this piece:

Post by: Jay Adan on November 26, 2019, 01:49:17 PM: Thanks, everybody. It's been a while since I've done a project for myself where I really tried to lavish some attention on the minis instead of just trying to knock them out so I could play the game.

Here's a look at the start of the terrain -

Indeed, sir. Indeed. I use airbrush on every project - even if it's just for primer and basecoat.

Working in your shed when it's cold doesn't impact your paints? Or do you keep those in the house until you go out to paint?

The paints seem to be pretty resilient to any cold that I'm willing to work in. I move my work indoors usually in November and try to move it back out before May. That takes care of the possibility of losing supplies to freezing.
