I found this Yeti from @reaperminiatures at the local game store and he inspired me to paint up this set of northland adventurers from @pulp_figures to hunt him down. #pulpalley #pulpfigures #miniaturewargaming #paintingminiatures @thearmypainter (at Escondido, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxe-2ymnagA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gw23om6gplg3

The general assumption is that I must use some very tiny paint brushes to paint these figures. In fact, most of the brushes I use are larger than you’d expect. Larger brushes simply paint better than small brushes. It’s a mechanical thing: when a brush gets too small, it doesn’t hold enough paint to flow, and doesn’t work right. In the end, painting detail is more about the fineness of the brush tip, than the size of the brush. But, in the case of eyes, I make an exception. I use this brush for one thing only - eyes. It’s so small it’s called “the Psycho” (I have another that’s merely insane), from @thearmypainter . It holds just enough paint to swab across an eyeball smaller than the head of a pin, and has just the right tip to “dot the eye”. Fun fact: William Shakespeare invented the word eyeball. @pulp_figures #pulpfigures #pulpalley #paintingminiatures #shakespeare (at Escondido, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvT55c6HCDg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uw24fzn424uc

Lazlo Lowenstein and Remi San Ponchartrain welcome Vincent Torteloni to the League of the Red Cravat while Seigfreid Holtz eavesdrops on their plans. #pulpfigures @pulp_figures #pulpalley @officialpulpalley #paintingminiatures (at Escondido, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq7d1lSHNzT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y0om8iis0b4l

I promised Captain Smith I would build him a cargo vessel - the Princess of Araby, a junk or steamship of some sort, but I haven’t yet developed the skill, so I built him this launch, you know for taking out on a “Jungle Cruise”. #pulpfigures #pulpalley #wargaming #paintingminiatures #junglecruise (at Escondido, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpVqp7Hncwv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d1nuxnqxc70a

My incandescent painting light was literally cooking my hand like an Easy-Bake Oven, so I switched to LED. LED lights pulsate, so rapidly that the human eye is unable to detect it, but slowly enough that it shows as dark bars across macro photographs. This is my completed league for play in the miniature wargame Pulp Alley, Captain Smith and the crew of the tramp steamer Princess of Araby. #pulpfigures #pulpalley #28mm #miniaturewargaming #paintingminiatures #wargaming (at Escondido, California)

Captain Geronimo Smith, skipper of the tramp steamer Princess of Araby, is all painted up and ready for a protective clear coat before sailing off in search of adventure. #pulpalley #pulpfigures #28mm #wargaming #miniaturewargaming #paintingminiatures (at Escondido, California)
