I’m back from Tacticon.
The surgery went well and I’m still alive. However due to post surgery restriction (bed rest and stay in reclined position), I wasn’t able to paint any miniatures, which was a bummer. So I ended up watching painting videos and Netflix.
A little bit of review on Marike Reimer’s new painting DVD.
Marike’s new painting DVD is very good. What I like the most about this DVD is that she makes mistakes (just like any of us, mere humans), and then she showed us how to fix or repair the mistakes. Most painting DVDs that I purchased only show how the “magic” happened and fixed all the blunders overnight. The topics she covered are leaning towards intermediate-advanced, so while it’s not required, it’s good to have basic knowledge of miniature painting before watching this DVD.
I was planning to give her technique a try while being stuck in the room, but the reclined position just wouldn’t allow me to paint. However, now I have a new job to write useful articles for Hangar 18 Miniatures, including prepping/assembly and painting guides. I’m also working on getting Marike’s DVD available on the online store.
