Welcome to the Mini Details of Dr H modelling blog.
I will be showing here, all the models that I paint, scratch-build, carve, sculpt, mould and cast that are not for my personal use.

If you do want to see what I get up to for personal projects, I have a separate blog for that here: The (Mad) Scientist's army of the Second Law

To find details and prices of what I'm currently selling, see my trade thread here on DDakka. I update it regularly as stock changes and new items are added.

Or head straight to my Etsy shop *currently closed*: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/TheMiniDetailsOfDrH

And if you just want to support me and my work you can now buy me a coffee on ko-fi.com: http://ko-fi.com/theminidetailsofdrh

Alternately, visit my Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/TheMiniDetailsOfDrH),


or my Mastodon account (@DrH@warhammer.social) *where I am most active*.

Below is the first, of many, models that I have painted for sale, this kind of project is interspersed with different projects that range from wargaming terrain to sculpting and casting my own model kits, presents for friends and family and random art projects that use the same skills that are useful for miniature wargaming.

Links to the finished items so they are easily found and can work as a list of completed jobs.

*to continue with the original post*
So here is the Dark Angels Tactical squad Raphael (from the Dark Vengeance box).


and the individual shots.







The troops are painted up to my "bronze" level. Which is what I consider tabletop quality, anything less (to me) just isn't finished.
The Sergeant is painted to my "silver" level. Which has had some more complex painting techniques used, such as blending etc...

And I have a question: What do I do with the bases?
If you were going to (and I hope you will want to) buy these, what will you want for the bases?

a) Plain black, no flock, no sand, nothing. To allow you to base them yourself to match the rest of your army.

b) Simple sand-alike. So you can at least call them "based", but are able to add to them to again match the rest of your army.

c) Based in the same way as I do my own models. Which is mud and rocks, (have a look at my models in the gallery for examples). Not so easy to fit in with your other models. Note; they wouldn't get the flame pattern around the edges, that's so my army is tied together (see my blog for why this is).

d) Done up to a professional level. With flock and complex additions (like rubble, plants, etc...). I don't have any of the materials to do this and would likely push up the price to add this sort of thing.

Let me know what you think. Comments, hints, tips, ideas, etc... all welcome.

hmmm.... it is really difficult to anticipate what the future customer of yours would want to have for bases...

so... i might be totally in the wrong here... but i would keep them just black... if then afterwards a customer wants styled bases... future enterprises
the way so many peeps make use of thrid party bases... i think these will end up on completly different bases anyway...

also... very crisp looking DA!

Yeah, that's the problem we are having.

That was my first thought. But bare in mind that these are all slot-bases. So to add these onto a new, third-party, base the buyer will have to do a little chopping first.

The other side of the coin is, that if someone is buying these for gaming with and wants to play them straight away, they're going to want playable bases...

also... very crisp looking DA!

Thanks. Quite a lot of the effort went into giving them a clean paint-job. I can't say "job done" until you can pick them up and look at them from any angle and still be happy with them. I even did most of the painting on the guns and chests without them being attached (not something I do on my own models).

Hum, very nice looking DA, not a very dark green just how I like them This is just a curiosity, not badmouthing your miniatures or anything like that: You mention your "Silver" level has some blending, was it the technique used to create the shadows between the Sergeant's tabard?

As for bases, I think I would play safe and keep them black. That way anyone who cares can quickly create a base matching their own army and and those who don't, I don't think they mind

Just my 2 cents

I'm glad you like them. I was pretty much aiming at the colour you see in the book that comes in the box..

Yeah, that's right. The tabard and his head has various shades and colours added with blending.
As opposed to the armour on all of them, which is mostly dry-brushed to create the shading and highlights.

My gold standard would get more blending etc. and more effort put in to make it smoother.
I may do one of the HQs next and see how far I can push the quality...

Thanks for your input.

We've decided to base the models, as per option b) for now. As most of what we've seen on ebay are based one way or another and it's no great loss if the buyer decides to change bases.

IMO a model isn't finished until the base is done.

I think a "basic" standard base should at least have ballast that is painted. Personally, I think flocking would be part of the basic package too (static grass or clump only) but that's just me.

I agree with you. Hence giving the bases some love.

We just don't know if people who buy painted models want the bases done beforehand (as they are unlikely to match their army).
Or if they want to base the models themselves... (but then why buy painted models if you're going to do the base yourself?).

We are thinking about offering base customisation to the successful buyer (in the future), so they can choose a basing method the match their army (at the cost of waiting a little longer for the models).

Once we get an idea of what people want and what my painting is actually worth, we'll be able to offer more options and/or accept direct commissions.

Thanks for your input, good to know what people think.

Thanks LBM.
That would work for models that sit on top of their bases, but these are slot bases and so the basing goes over the top of the bit of plastic that joins the legs. But it's only attached with PVA, so it shouldn't be too difficult to remove them if the owner really wants to.

These will be going up for an ebay auction soon, so they will cost whatever people are willing to pay for them. We hope for more than the cost of the models and paint...

I'll put a link up here when they are on ebay.

I agree with the "simple bases" path you went on for the Tac Squad...

Easy to touch up to match with almost any battlefield around !

Also, how much did you sell the Squad ?

As for the Librarian, depending on how much the "on sprue" version costs, 39$ likely seem a bit too much for me...

Not wanting to troll you, I absolutely LOVE your camo'ed Marines, but the Librarian seems a bit under the "pro-painted" standard you (or your ebay buddy) claim...

However, if it gets sold, all the better for you !!! I'm always impressed by people who can sell their models !!! So congrats !

Cool, Thanks.

They went for £40, and really surprised us at how fast they were snapped up.

As for the Librarian, depending on how much the "on sprue" version costs, 39$ likely seem a bit too much for me...

Yeah, as the previous squad went so quick we thought that we'd start high and see how it goes.

Not wanting to troll you, I absolutely LOVE your camo'ed Marines, but the Librarian seems a bit under the "pro-painted" standard you (or your ebay buddy) claim...

I think you're thinking of Big H with the camo Marines...

Compared to the majority of the "pro-painted" things on ebay (which clearly aren't) we couldn't not put them down as "Pro-"...
I accept that I'm not going to be winning any golden daemons any time soon (if ever), and there are many people on DDakka alone that are better than me (yourself included). But it's early days yet and we're just finding our feet and I hope this will help improve my painting by pushing me further.

However, if it gets sold, all the better for you !!! I'm always impressed by people who can sell their models !!! So congrats !

congratz on the auction...!

tho I have to say even as it looks very good.. the libby is at the same price tag as the squad... that would be totally out of my reach... and I rather play with clumsy painted minis (done by me ) than such expensive stuff...I would have trouble handling that model each time it needed handling...

Indeed, I just screwed everything up... I'm just hiding under my desk at the moment (yeah, you cannot check that I did, but I swear I really DID hide in shame).

My points still stand though ! 40£ for a painted Tac Squad seems less prohibitive to me than for the Libby. They're definitely some neat, good-looking tabletop models, so that's nice with me.

Libby's still a bit high for me, but your point about the other "pro-painted" stuff on ebay is a very valid one. There's a ton of crap you can find that claims the "pro-painted" label... And yours definitely is better than a lot that I've seen !!

So I just have to wish you some good fortune, and if it helps pushing you to greater works, then... enjoy the chance !!!

Yeah, at the moment we're still trying to find out what my painting is worth so there will probably be more models yet that are either too cheap or too expensive for some.

While it looks bad that the squad of 10 models were the same price as a single HQ model, the squad sold very quickly and we probably could have got more for them and then the libby would seem cheaper by comparrison... Something's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, and that's what we're trying to find out.

and the time I spent painting the librarian (which was probably too long and something else I need to work on for the future) was almost exactly half the time I spent on the whole 10 man squad so that needs factoring in to the equation as well to make it worthwhile the effort.

That's why we started on Dark Vengeance, as it has a nice selection of different models that will help us iron out the bumps.

Thanks again.

I've now started on the Terminator squad, so keep your eyes peeled.

Thanks Yggdrasil.

and for your patience I have a slightly blurry (sorry) painting in progress shot of the Terminators.

This is just to give you the impression of what the armour looks like, everything else is still to do and then a final round of tidying up and bases then they'll be ready.

The Librarian is still available, if people are interested.

Not sure yet. I will have to consult with my partner in crime business. Much more work to be done on them yet.

I was thinking Silver. But we'll see when I get to the cloth and how the blending turns out. They could still be better. Thanks Vik.
