This is my paint job on Yasashii's "Mind Flayer / Illithid Tabletop Miniature" from Thingiverse.

This was one of the first prints off of my resin printer, and the first piece I attempted air brushing; to make both of these a little easier, I scaled him up a bit, so he isn't quite "tabletop minature" scale, but still much smaller than what I'd been used to painting (~70mm tall).

Everything except for the red eyes and purple highlights on the armor was done with a 0.3mm airbrush.

Here are a couple different angles:

Mindflayer rear

Mindflayer close-up

Unfortunately one of the robe dangly bits snapped off the back before I could start painting. I didn't expect the paint job to turn out this decent so I didn't bother reprinting, kinda wish I had.

This is a miniature from TitanCraft's "RPG Mini Starter Kit" on thingiverse. I painted him up just to get some practice painting minis as I'm just starting out on the small scale stuff.

Here he is from a couple of different angles:

paladin from rear

paladin side close-up

I wish that the paint on his face came out a little better, it's something I've always struggled with.

I may be preaching to the choir here, but if you haven't already heard of it, check out TitanCraft. It's another mini maker website, but you can actually download minis that you make for free (they have paid and free assets, but there's a ton of free ones and you don't have to pay anything to download an all-free model). I'm not affiliated with them in any way, but I've been showing it to all my DnD friends and a few of them are sending me minis to print out for them, and it costs us nothing but the $0.25 of resin.

Just finished all the armor and now on to cloth bits! I used greenish white, deep yellow and dark Prussian blue (ak) over a purple undercoat.

I see a lot of bigger minis (medis?) from shows like DBZ and I always think I'd love to paint over them.

But you can't just start painting on top, right? What do you do to prep them for repainting?

Pretty quick paintjob on her. The pose makes taking photos awkward.

Convinced my partner to try Moonstone with me, and after a weekend picking factions and lists I get the fun of painting both of our models

First up is one of the minis that drew me to the game, Drayner the kitsune from my side the Leshavult faction

I had a night to touch up somebody's minis for Call Of Cthulhu. Not my normal strip and full repaint, but just slapping paint on top of whatever was already there to get it done tonight.

Before pic.

And yes I know some of my color choices are kind of rockin' 70s. Some of the minis really follow that vibe. Maybe some Michael Shea inspired stories to come.
