Monte San Savino 2018, a fuck of danes.

The day came and whent and oh what a day!

Yet again, Monte San Savino showed itself from one of its best side with sun, amazing food and drink, and lots and lots of wonderous models.

I didnt bring much this year, but I was happy with what I brought. My Catachan jungle charge featuring Colonel Ironhand Straken and Sergeant Harker has been a long way underway, here is the first picture.

We were a wopping 17 danes going this year

My own diorama brought me a bronce which I am very thankfull for.

My good friend Jakob Villien aka Pink Label Studio was at Monte for the first time and brought his A-game which resultet in a welldeserved gold in historical master!! Here is his entry for fantasy master painting.

Another of my friends Bent Ejaas aka Crazy Goblin miniatures brought his own sculpt for both the sculpting category and the ambient as well as entering standard painting with this merry band:

Kristian Simonsen, friend and aweinspiring pressense had brought what I believe is his best to date. I give you; Into Hell:

Torben Ryde was the man with the plan. He has slaved for untoled hours to creat a vision of something very special:

Thomas Coltau "powerfist" Bærentsen aka Coltau painting was also a first time participant of Monte, he too brought an amazing setup, he even sat friday morning painting before entering:

Andrew Wade wasnt a first time goer, but last year he didnt hear when they calleds his name as a silver winner in standard painting, so he was really happy when he was called this year for a medal in Master painting!

Mikkel Overballe was not rewarded last year with a medal but this year it was his time to shine:

Peder Bartholdy aka Demiurge Miniatures has for quite some time now sculpted some of the best models I have seen for a long while. Also he worked all the way to deadline in order to finish the last project before leaving for Monte:

Mads Seit was a first time goer aswell, but he came well prepared:

Christian Møgelberg Clausen, another of the first time danes, aimed high and found his level in master: 

Tue Kaae, the one and only, was barred from entering in the competition because he was a judge this year. He brought some models to display of course:

I was an amazing trip for the danes, Frederik also brought models but I must have misplaced the fotos somewhere, I'll show them some other time.

All my pictures from the trip, danes, not danes, models, everything: HERE.

Cheers.

Catachan jungle diorama feat colonel Ironhand Straken and sergent Harker

So, I wanted to do something I havnt done before and since I love working on diorama, the choise fell on a jungle diorama.

I have long wanted to paint the straken model, so he and his sergent would fight right into this diorama.

These is only the beginning, hope to get ready for the Monte San Savino show this november.

Lets see where it leads :D

Last known transmission received from Imperial inquisitional freighter II-225

Now, a while a go my friend Tue sculted an awesome model, WIP pictures on this blog also. He finaly got it cast, I finaly got it bought and in the end also painted. A great thanks to many of my painting friends but especially to Steffen aka The Damned Artificer for hours of help and guides and to Tue himself for supporting the project. It is my great piece to date, but in dimensions but also concerning the amount of work going into it and the end result. Here goes the tale of the mutant let loose

So, yes it has been a while. I am been busy with my daughter Josefine, making preperations for mine and Cecilies wedding and other family stuff. I have painted a few models though. Here are 2 small funny models I had a lot of fun with.

The first is the evul rabbit sculpted by Michael Kontraros. You find his works on facebook and on his website.

The other model is a small hobbit knight sculted by Wiltrichs, you find his work on facebook and on Instagram. May I present to you: Sir Tenderloin McHam of the Ham order:

Disney Infinity Hulkbuster for the Massive Voodoo Challange 2017

Quite a mouthfull to paint a model this size.

Yet again the MV boys has issued a challange and who can say no when its about painting kids toys :D

The challange was, to choose a model from the Disney Infinity game model range and paint that. Since those models are out of production, at least on the danish market, it was quite the challange to even get my hands on a model. I had to buy a batch of 13 to get the one I wanted... well, now I have a few more to paint if I like :D

I starte with coating it all metal and then started with thni layers of red and yellow. This way of painting is not new to me, but its new for me to use it on such large areas so the result was mixed but I live and learn.

Nathaniel Garro, Hand of the Sigillite.

No need for a lot of text. An awesome model from Forgeworld I really enjoyed painting. Here are some pictures of the finished result.

Enjoy.
