Welcome @smudge1863
Don’t tap the glass, it scares the hamsters.
Hi All,
Name: Gael
Build Date: 04th November 1971
Status: married
Location: Strasbourg France
Occupation:Addicted to figurines and also Miniature sculptor since 1999
I bought my first one in 1983 and have never stopped loving them. :D.
I worked a lot in Greenstuff (I started in 1999 :D) but unfortunately because of a medical treatment I lost my sense of touch so I switched to digital sculpture which is easier for me 🙁
if you are interested here is an Artstation , I have also a very old website with traditional miniatures 😉 and a Facebook (with prints and more work)
ooh you did the Anastyr they’re lovely sculpts the prototype we got was beautiful. Shame that you can no longer sculpt in greenstuff but the digital work is amazing. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Avernos :). Well, this is a very small part of my work because I have a lot of NDA contracts (FFG, Atomic Mass Games…), so I only show 10-20% of my minis 🙁
Hello,
I am new; I like long walks on desolate battlegrounds, the lament of the dying around me, and the crushing of my enemies. On the table of course. Although I’ve been an armoured recce officer, and am now retired.
stuff:
Golden Demon (Silver), Toronto, 2006
Catalogue painter for http://www.ghqmodels.com, 2004-2019.
Former Warlord Games Forum moderator (the First One) – do they still have a forum? Hmmm.
Officially retired, 2019, total of 27 years of combined service to Canada (federal government time included).
Professional model maker for The Military Museums, Alberta (LdSH(RC)) and archivist, cataloguer, photographer, 2017-2020.
Fun facts: I can stand in the loading bay of a Leopard C2 without hitting my head. Built like a dwarf, smart like a tractor.
Cyclist, longest ride 200km; planning bikepacking trip for 10 days “soonish”.
Raced Brompton World Final, 2019; avg speed 29.8kmh over 16km. In Oxfords, bow tie, and sport coat.
Painted stuff:
Legion, Rogue One/Ep4+, Mandolorian, Boba Fett – it’s a painting project, no gaming
Working on:
Orks, 9th ed 40k “Squigs Gone Wild”
Horus Heresy: Sons of Horus
Re-learning guitar – if you want to jam, hit me up. Les Paul and Strat, slide blues to metal (almost no country!)
Lol nice to see a new face in the mad house.
Don’t forget never take the meds @grantinvanman

and one pill makes you small;
and the ones that mother gives you,
