Thats a great space marine army. Also, clever use of the Kelly Kapowski.

Thanks, and I am glad someone got the reference. I was feeling old for a bit..

A lizard to defy physics, this Dread Saurian was painted to match the client's taste in real lizards - a shimmering, polychromatic predator going from teal blue to yellow. Quite a challenging model to paint due to size and the sheer number of scales, but what fun would it be if it were easy.

Up next - finishing the Deadpool army, two new terrain photo booths (images coming soon) and plenty beyond. See you then.

Epic. And the setting, great stuff

Damn! It really looks alive

Nice

Thats some lovely colours going on there from the lizard to the gold.

Excellent base as well, those fern type plants look really good.

Thanks guys! It was fun to paint, and a good excuse to use the muggy weather and scenery.

Lots going on around here at once, hope to have a lot of different WIP pics up soon.

A Mortal Warbands is Great. Nice color scheme, awesome freehand on the banner. Very nice. And Dread Suarian is Amazing too. Superb Work here!

Thank you very much!

Several massive projects in the works, here, there and generally taking over the place as they do in summertime. Unusual for me to go more than a few weeks without an update, so here are some pretty pictures of a couple recent commissions going at it for the time being.

Also need to officially announce I will be at Gencon 2015 in Indianapolis! At the Cool Mini booth again, I am working on a display similar to the Marienburger for their new Rum and Bones board game being released at the event. As always come and say hello if you are going!

Until next time,

Is it wrong that my favourite thing in that photo is the shipping containers?

Have I just been working in logistics for too long...?


(Nice work all around, though )

Fantastic allies army

I love shipping containers. They are great space fillers, and have maximum horizontal space for models while increasing height. They also just look good

Thanks

So incredibly vibrant as always GMM. Consistently eye catching. Kudos.

Wow, that marine blue hurts my eyes!

Fantastic stuff tho as always.

Thanks guys!

Hot out of the galley, here is the official display/demo table for Rum and Bones, a board game of ship to ship combat by CoolMiniorNot for Gencon 2015 in Indianapolis.

The display is built from an old trunk, inside of which a second 5" deep tray holds the three gallons of clear resin and two boats. The ships are 100% scratch built from foam, clay, plastic stock, and a few animal bones. The surface is 1:1 the scale of the game boards, and fully playable.

The display collapses fully. Tray sinks into box, sails remove, and all goes within the box, lid returned to it's proper place.

Going to Gencon? Stop by and say hello. I will be there all weekend helping to demo the game and chit-chatting my voice away as usual.

Wow thats totally amazing, you've done another fine master piece.

I love all the attention to detail especially the small bottles and barrels floating in the sea.

Amazing work.

Thanks to both of you!

Rum & Bones is Outstanding. Amazing. Awesome. Just Excelent. Water efect is damn realistic... Superb Work, Congrats

Not to take away from the rest of the breathtaking piece, but the water effects are what makes it for me

Stunning as usual.

Same as every other year. My gast is well and truly flabbered. Superb stuff.

GMM, I will have to go to Gencon just to see your work sometime.

I don't suppose you descend from the heavens and explain how you did the water to us peasants learning to make ocean bases?

Really awesome work, as usual, Mr Palmer. It really looked fantastic in the CMoN booth at GenCon.

Bases I have not messed with much. For the display my biggest "secret" is I actually play in the resin with a stick quite a bit to make it look more like foamy, moving water.

Gencon 2015 was even better than the last. Thanks first of all to Cool Mini for having me there. I like to think of them all as close friends now, and I always look forward to spending time with all of them, both at the booth and trolling around town at 4 am. I made a lot of memories this year, most of which I owe to my friends at CMoN.

I spent most of the day cosplaying as the worst pirate there. The hat I bought last minute didn't fit my head, so I had to buy one on site. Lucky me if there was a place to buy a pirate hat within a five state radius, it was the hall I was standing in. Great fun to talk to folks that came up to the booth. The boats were a massive hit with both people who knew of the game, and those that had not yet but loved to see something interesting. The biggest honor was watching people jogging to a Thursday morning exclusive release actually stop to take a picture. Thank you to everyone who may be reading this for your kind words, encouragement, and interest in the display. My voice is only now recovering but that is a small price to pay to meet so many hundreds of kind people.

Incredible stuff!

I pulled a few of you images to my desktop as inspiration and a guide for projects for me in the future (simple things you do so well such as the windows on flyers, holes in buildings, your bridge and of course your miniature painting).

Congratulations on brilliant work!

Truely description defying stuff.
Mind boggling, well done sounds trite.
