28mm hoplites from Crusader Miniatures

To say it's been a long time since my last post is an understatement! But I'm happy to say that I'm still here and still involved in the hobby, but with a bit of a twist...

After an unexpected and unwelcome change on the job front last year, I now find myself painting miniatures full-time, which is great, but it has meant a lot less time and energy to devote to my own projects. As such, I haven't had much to post about hobby-wise, but rather than let the blog die off completely I thought I might as well start sharing some of the painting that I have been doing (with client permission, of course).

First up is a 32-figure batch of 28mm hoplites from Crusader Miniatures, which were completed today and finished off with shield transfers from Little Big Men Studios. I've painted a large number of these hoplites at this point, and I'll share photos of the rest of them in future posts. Like all of my commissions so far, the figures will be based by the client.

I plan to add a bit more info about my commission painting at some point soon, but in the meantime if you do have a need for the services of a miniatures painter, feel free to get in touch using the contact form on the blog's right-hand column, as I have capacity at the moment to take on additional work.

I'm sure I'll have time in future to post more about my own personal wargaming and painting projects, but I hope the commission-related content is still of use/interest to any blog visitors. Most of the commissions I've been doing have been 28mm ancients, which has got my mind thinking about projects from that era that I'd like to do myself. As always, I've lots of ideas, but it's just finding the time and energy to do it all!
