or so I thought a few months ago. The trailer for my great comeback gathers dust on the hard drive, the new lamps rarely shine, the cameras dream in their long sleep.<br />
There is much going on right now in my life, but little of it has to do with our beloved hobby, with art or this blog.<br />
<br />
And still, after all those months of no content, there are still new subscribers, new page views, new requests. There are all you lovely people who didn't unsubscribe! And now, with some time and distance to the past events, I feel like I have to write something.<br />
<br />
This won't be about miniature painting. But that is ok, at least for me. Readers of the first hour will remember, that we were a very different blog back then. Different people, different approach and different topics. The miniatures became our main topic with time and I plan to return there one day. But now is not the time.<br />
<br />
The reason is simple. I can't paint. It is not that I don't have the time. Or the space.<br />
The circumstances were never better...new studio, loads of free time before I start my final semester.<br />
The problem lies deep inside me. Because something has been silenced.<br />
<br />
And this is the topic I will write about in this new series. Because in one way or another, we all have been there! I was lucky to meet many fellow painters, writers and artists and of cause we talked hours about it. The moment, when your inner voice doesn't speak anymore. We all have different ways to deal with it, but it never hurt anyone to hear how others do it.<br />
<br />
I have been in many situations during the last years. Fanatical collector who drowned in the amount of kits around him, stressed and burnt out commission painter who couldn't afford the question, IF he paints. Broken artist, who was unable to bring his vision to life. Somehow I always returned to the brushes and I am sure, it won't be different this time. But maybe this becomes easier, when I reflect on it.<br />
<br />
So yes, these are the musings of a person who is really good at finding reasons not to work and stay away from his passion.<br />
<br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
The first article is about the probably most common reason to not even start, the deep routed urge to collect. I hardly know anyone without that problem. Be it the 10th sketchbook, that we will fill one day, or the three grey armies we hide under our bed. Most of us own too much stuff we will never touch.<br />
<br />
I started as a child, with rocks, sand from the beaches we visited, all sorts of rubbish only a child values for its magic. That was cute and it was easy to keep under control for my parents...but then came the big wide world and temptation of tabletop games. And how it hit me!<br />
I was a skilled ebay hunter back in the day and I missed the point, where my collection lost its value for being important pieces I gathered over years...and working for the big Company of Redshirts did the rest. Most people know of the discount staff gets on those kits...most staff know how that always ends.<br />
<br />
It all added up over the years. When I did many commission armies, something always would end up staying in my place, be it the bits, the customer didn't want. And with 10 plus bitboxes, why not put them to use for this or that cool project? I became a true hoarder. When I started to occupy our flats common room or needed more shelves to store my future projects I couldn't understand why that should be wrong...of cause not, I was addicted.<br />
<br />
A few weeks ago I had to move. And I stood between those towers of kits and boxes, shelves full of books and tools...and I simply lost it. I felt drowning and falling at the same time. Something that never had occurred to me hit me in that moment...I stood between my own shackles.<br />
Even if I would have painted all that starting that day...I honestly doubt that I would have managed to have a job or social life and finish before I died.<br />
<br />
I started to add up...10 hours for every Imperial Knight, 20 for this 54mm historical miniature, 100 for my big dragons...I used very vague numbers and only for a small part of the things around me. But it scared me. And I realized, it always had. Deep inside me I knew, I would never finish that collection or anything of my projects. And as I stood there, unable to tell which was really important for me and which was just a maybe some day I understood why I didn't finish anything personal in months. There was nothing to start. Picking up one, another caught my eye and so on.<br />
<br />
I sold most of my stuff, gave much away to friends who I knew would paint it. I did that multiple times in my life, back then to pay bills. But this time it was different. No regrets, no missing what I gave away.<br />
With every parcel that left my flat, i felt how time was freed. Time i could use for other things I like, spend with the persons I love.<br />
<br />
I also threw away everything from my work in progress showcase. Projects that had moved in with me 5 years ago, only to never be touched again. Things I couldn't remember the paint schemes or even the idea I had for them. Things a different person once started to express himself, a person no longer existing. And even though the thought of doing so was frightening in the past, it was relieving.<br />
<br />
I am sure one day I will feel the urge to paint something again, and when that moment comes, it should be easier to figure out what.<br />
<br />
I remembered the days of my youth, when I had to save a month or two for a new box of toy soldiers and how happy I was, when I finally got them. I painted them fast and horrible but with so much joy. When things become common, they loose their magic. A sad truth applying to many things and situations in life.<br />
<br />
What I did was an extreme reaction, but on the other hand, I had an extreme problem.<br />
But even in milder forms, the problem of too much can spoil our joy in painting and living.<br />
So if you struggle, maybe you own one army or showcase piece to much.<br />
<br />
And if someone close suddenly annoys you, maybe its to much too.<br />
Funnily, me and my old room mate started as best friends, ended as persons full of rage and regret and now, two months after moving out, we have a great time again. Because we have been around each other to much too. And again, miniature painting can explain the big wide world to us sometimes. My own breakdown with today's problem gave me the insight to apologize and start a very worthy friendship again from scratch.<br />
<br />
That's it for today, dream on and read you soon!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045153677076370165.post-59004274233266872652015-12-14T11:25:00.002+01:002015-12-14T11:25:41.477+01:00Age of Sigmar Varanguard Nurgle KnightIt's been long since I saw a personal must-paint miniature but the new Varan Knights from GW caught my eye.<br />
For me they have a very strong feeling of the old Realm of Chaos artworks, which defined my view on chaos.<br />
<br />
I got the chance to paint one up as sample for the store I work at, and as I got the miniature one day before release it had to be a speed paint. After a night of painting I am happy how he turned out for a gaming miniature and he will lead my nurgle forces to battle as a mounted general.<br />
<br />
For now he will stand in our what's new cabinet, but when his duty there is done he'll get a new and proper base and some areas will be reworked but mostly he's done!<br />

At 40 degree and arid air that killed the paint in minutes, even at the wet pallet, I managed to finish this big guy that sat on my shelve for a while now. He's painted for tabletop gaming and I have to say this model really needed some tough decisions where to go into the details and where to work with simple effects with great impact.<br />
I think I found a good compromise between the both.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the greatest servant of my favorite chaos god!<br />

The next part will be the shading and further weathering with oil color so stay tuned!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045153677076370165.post-28189398048830383722015-06-11T13:05:00.002+02:002015-06-11T13:05:48.630+02:00Painting the Cadian Baneblade 2 - masking tape and camoAs promised I went through older material and found the missing baneblade files to be untouched on my hard drive. The series is no full step by step and rather concentrates on the key techniques we need here. Because we already have <a href="http://t-raumschmiede.blogspot.de/2012/10/step-by-step-how-to-paint-high-quality_2.html">a really big tutorial here on the blog</a> I think of it as an addition in moved pictures, showing the most important things.<br />
<br />
Today its creating the camo pattern using masking tape and a nice sharp scalpel.<br />

<br />
<br />
Stay tuned, the next part is already rendered and will air tomorrow (we'll have some fun with the white areas then) and the last part ( about the oil color) is in the making.<br />
<br />
This will complete another tutorial line on our channel, leaving only the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0jtiNYXDidyDEFUYb7ZrCQa9HgUknZ2K">last part of the White Scar Vindicator</a> open (rusted tank tracks). As the<a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0jtiNYXDidzLavC1JfMShfcn-qN_PWZh"> Canyon table series</a> was finished last Christmas.<br />
<br />
That means, with a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/TRaumschmiedeVidlog/videos">total of 45 videos</a> then, everything will be up to date and finished and that's a nice point to start new dreams and projects when the new equipment arrives in the studio.<br />
<br />
I hope you are all well and want to thank you for your long support, even in periods of silence from our side.<br />

But that gave me the time to go through some old material and work on it. Right now two more baneblade videos are rendering. I'll choose which old projects are worth a vid ( 150 gb of material to sort) and upload them through the next weeks before we start into a new and fresh season!</span><div>

I built the Redmaw Canyon Display for this and it was a dream come true, to be honest.<br />
It was held by the Museum for saxon folk art in Dresden, which is part of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, the head organisation for all kinds of museums and exhibitions here in Dresden. As young artist it is an extreme honor to be shown there, even if it is not about you as artist, but about a subject you are allowed to build for.<br />

The title is Wargames, Roles, Rules, Regiments.</div>
<br />
<br />
The exhibition showed the evolution of wargaming through the last centuries, from the first beginnings as teaching royal lads for later action in life to larp, tabletop and soft air today. It was rather small, but lovely made and I think they managed to stuff in so much things there, one might not think it's possible.<br />

Another benefit of taking part is the free whine at the opening.</div>
<br />
I really liked what they made of their limited space and money. There were many games you could actually play all day long. They had consoles, PCs and really nice people explaining everything. One of my favorites was the tutorial to make your own paper cavalry from 1800.<br />
I also liked that they didn't judge, there was an open guest book and the opinions went far. When I told my dad about warhammer I never thought of stating that the cowboy fort and my knights castle also were a kidn of wargaming. In the end there was one message: Give boys two sticks and they will beat each other, playing knight or start shouting pew pew and have a shoot out. Not because they understand the concept of war and death, but rather because it's our nature and the competing part is relevant. The living of tales and the winning (or learning of losses) is the thing that stirs children's fantasy. And often, it's not about hate and violence, but rather roleplaying.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045153677076370165.post-76877472831034667472014-12-16T20:05:00.002+01:002014-12-16T20:05:25.025+01:00Door 16 - the final of redmaw canyonAnd so another series of tutorials comes to an end.

<br />
nice to see that you came back for some miniature madness..... Today I want to continue showing you my finished miniatures from 2014 - and we go back to "historic". This time with a Soldier of the 57th Middlesex Regiment from JMD. A realy nice sculpt like so many of the JMD stuff, but sadly they had to close down some time ago....<br />
With this bust I tried to stay near the box art, but not to close. A bit fluctuation in the intensity of the dye and traces of abrasion can alter the colours of the uniform quit a bit - but enough of that, I think you want so see the bust.<br />

And we go into the 7th installment of our redmaw series today!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045153677076370165.post-1652698408488695672014-12-13T12:50:00.001+01:002014-12-13T12:50:44.735+01:00Door number 13 - The work of a masterHello again,<br />
<br />
its time for another review. This time a beautiful sculpt from the one and only Raul Garcia Latorre. You might Know him for his many awesome and sometimes even breathtaking historical sculpts, especially but not only from Latorre models - a company which is sadly out of business, again, and which miniatures are hard to get nowadays. But Raul doesn't do exclusively historical miniatures, he also has done some beautiful fantasy sculpts, probably some of his best can be bought at <a href="http://www.mproyec.com/">MProyec</a>, highly detailed resin models with a very limited batch. I, myself, have three of his MProyec works lying around - and luckily some more of his other stuff - but today I like to show you the Thorag bust.<br />
<br />

Like all the MProyec stuff Thorag comes in a simple but safe and sturdy cardboard box filled with those foamy stuff to protect the miniature. And, again like all the other MProyec stuff, a signed print of the artwork is added - a really nice touch, especially when it comes to limited miniatures, and a trend that spread through the hobbys, thank god, I really like those little details....</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see Thorag is a very angry and characterful bust with nice details. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVQ0rlvHxfNNqT6Y-7FP3dJCH-5V5QIXq-w12qcutWzDXPpYYMFgjAqhBt1biQbR8vNscF3Xoupyt2H3gCJWsmVmaOfGG9b6nC_u4JBw9GJhP860cDXXq8IEmWIXpUVM91E5xY1d41U0Hg/s1600/Thorag-detail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVQ0rlvHxfNNqT6Y-7FP3dJCH-5V5QIXq-w12qcutWzDXPpYYMFgjAqhBt1biQbR8vNscF3Xoupyt2H3gCJWsmVmaOfGG9b6nC_u4JBw9GJhP860cDXXq8IEmWIXpUVM91E5xY1d41U0Hg/s1600/Thorag-detail.jpg" height="320" width="265" /></a></div>
<br />
Speaking of details, just look at this close-up of the breast-belly plat. It is just breathtaking how fine and precise those engravings are. And a bit intimidating, when you realise that you have to paint those... Again, Raul Garcia Latorre shows his awesome skills with this sculpt. Fine and sharp details, a clear concept, a certain mood and character and an outstanding understanding of volumes and behaviour of different materials and textures. The bust offers just the right amount of predefined details and room for some creative freedom while painting. Due to the extreme fine details I would recommend the bust, like most of the MProyec stuff, only to experienced painters. As a compensation to the level of detail and higher workload concerning the painting progress, the cast is nearly flawless. No mould lines, no flash or bubbles. You just can start painting right away after unboxing. That is, unless you want to replace the precasted base of the bust. This might result in a bit of sawing and sanding, but it might be worth it - at least it is what I will do.<br />
<br />
Finally, let me say that you get a beautiful miniature for your money and I can recommend following <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mproyec?fref=ts">MProyec on FB</a>.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for more and come back for another door of the advents calendar tomorrow.<br />

<br />
its me again, Lukas. Today its not review time, instead let me show you a finished work of mine. Some of you might remember the review of the<a href="http://t-raumschmiede.blogspot.de/2013/12/door-12-review-spqr.html"> Roman legionary</a> from last years advents calendar. It took some time, but finally I managed to take some pictures (kind of good, maybe). But rest assure, it didn't take me that long to paint this little fella. Actually, I finished him right in time for the Duke of Bavaria this year and send him to the World Expo in Stresa*, too. But before I say more have a look at him for yourself.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
long time not seen - it's me, Lukas. Boy it feels like it has been ages since I have written something for you.... much to do besides the hobby, I didn't even make it to Monte Sansavino - which made me very sad. But enough of that, now for something completely different!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All of you probably know this: a miniature you always want, than get the chance to buy it and... forget that you done so - until a a package arrives at your door.... well at least this happens from time to time to me, again a few days ago. </div>

Just look at that seal, That's how you pack a miniature - and we have a clue what I ordered. A little something from Lucas Piana/Spira mirabilis - to be precise the Bearded Dwarf bust. So, after that riddle is solved, lets take a look inside and check out the miniature.</div>

Inside, one finds a print of the artwork of the bust - and yes as you can see the bust is limited to <strike>300</strike> 50* copies. Under the print the bust is bedded on bast, safe and guarded from damage through transportation.</div>
<br />
The bust itself is pure awesomeness and character made out of resin, Just look at this little guy braiding his beard, minding nothing but his facial hair.<br />

The cast is superb. No mould lines or flesh has to be taken care of, You can nearly start painting right away. Only a little bit of resin at the bottom has to be cut of - but that's a really quick chop job.<br />
The quality of the sculpt itself is even better. The dwarf is not cluttered with details and leaves enough freedom to the painter to ad some textures or freehands. At the same time, there is so much character in it. The hands look like real dwarven paws, used to hard labour. The face shows some age and a lot of character - he seams to be at peace with him self and fully concentrated on his beard braiding. Talking about the beard the hair on the miniature is a real highlight, Just rough strands, not those over detailed hairmesses that look good until you try painting it and that are a pain in the ass. No, these are looking so promising and have a nice flow and structure to it.Just look at the beard and the back of his head - there the hairline has no clear edge to it and transits smoothly from the scalp into the hair - so much interesting possibilities.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in buying one - which I highly can recommend to you - head over to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Spira-mirabilis/713122318747704?sk=info&tab=page_info">Spira mirabilis</a> and write Lucas a PM. Oh and like him on FB and check out his other sculpts, they are really awesome and sometimes gone to quickly..... - like the Baba Yaga bust! Oh and on his Page you can finde some awesome painted versions of this bust - which reminds me, I have to paint some more....<br />
<br />
What more can I say, other than that I'm looking forward to paint this little fellow.<br />
Stay tuned for more and come back tomorrow for another door of our advent calendar.<br />
<br />
* I got the numbers wrong. Lucas told me, 300 was the old declaration, when the bust could be purchased through H&V. Since this company doesn't exist any longer -sadly - the bust is now limited to 50 casts.<br />

Most will have noticed we've missed a door yesterday.<br />
Right now we all here are very busy and try our best to bring you daily hobby goodness, but sometimes jobs and our families have to come first.<br />
<br />
Today the calendar is back with a mission for Warhammer 40k we played in our local store last Halloween.<br />
<br />
The mission objectives were candles. One side was the team of darkness, the other the fighters of the light. Before we began, half the candles were lit.<br />
<br />
Every time a unit ended their movement at a candle, they could lit it (if they were on the good side) or put it out. The winner would be the side with most secured objectives, or the side that lit/ put out all candles. The game was played in darkness with flashlights and things like a laser pointer for random lightning strikes.<br />

Maybe you'll have a game in darkness too ? It was really nice seeing the battlefield drowning in shadows and lighting up again, as evil and good tried their best to win.<br />

We tried to capture some sights and many nerd and modeler/ painter attractions and made a little, rather silly documentary. We still record and edit audios, but we wanted to show you some of the footage of Tokyo's gigantic municipal building. Just lean back and see how big everything there is!</span><br />

This door reveals some tips for texturing big areas on your gaming tables or displays and also shows you my way of creating prefactured concrete tile grounds, that are the base for imperial buildings all over the galaxy. They can be found in cities and industrial landscapes as well, big underground realms and moon bases are done this way. Have fun creating your own world!<br />

Last year we had quite a ride with our advent calendar special and even though we didn't manage all 24 episodes, we were sure it would return. And here it is, with (I really can't believe it myself) footage from the last half year or so and new stuff. There's a bit more in there this season !<br />
Have a little preview today and be back to open your first door on Monday.<br />
And now for something completely different!<br />
