Hello readers,
some time has passed, until I wrote my last post. But now its the right time to show you some photos. At first I show you a miniature from my big Rackham box, its a thief of Arkane, I wanted to create a scene in Cadwallon, thats the city were the old game is placed. Some kind of fantasy/middle age city.
I invested a lot of time, in the base, every clapboard was glued separate. In the back of her you can see a wall with different other Rackham characters. These are all pictures of "wanted" people.. so far..:)
I sell this figure, if someone is interested please feel free to write me at:
oli---at---massivevoodoo---dot---com
I also want to show you another new figure, it's a fantastic sculpt from Tom Meier.
He has a great line of French and Indian war figures. This vignette also was a little tribute to one of my favourite movies of all time, the last of the mohican. I must stop to say this on every indian figure, I post, but really..:)
I hope you like it, feedback is welcome:
you can find that figure on CMON: here
Best regards Oli

Heyho Jungle Friends,
it is done, at least most of the work and I got to say this!
Raffa and I moved into the new studio and first before anything else will be told there has to be a MASSIVE THANK YOU to Peter and Klaus for helping us moving from the 3rd to the 4th floor. We all now hate stairs, you can believe that, but without their neverending powers we would not have made it at all.
I will write this little diary straight from my heart as this "move" really changes me already. I guess I have to begin way more back in time in a galaxy far, far away ...
When I started back in 2007 to make a living from miniature painting I got used to have my workbench at home, always at home. In our first flat I had a little piece of table, lately I had my own small room in our flat and now I got a big room that I am so much looking forward to share with one of my best friends, my bibab (brother in brain and brushes) and painting comrades, Raffa. This is just so unbelievable, really. But I'll start at the beginning.
I can only write from my point of view as Raffa was too busy and did not take much photos at all. So here we go with my used workbench all of the jungle readers should know by now. It was time to say goodbye as I was packing since Thursday last week.
We have been lucky to have Klaus and Peter with us and with their immense help we finished all that carrying and getting the stuff we need until Friday night. WE HATE STAIRS!! Everything was in that room but far from in place. Some impressions ...
I went to the place with Peter on Saturday and with my girlfriend on Sunday again to bring some more stuff and forget other stuff at home and then forget other stuff at the studio and so on. I hope this will soon be managed so that I know where the stuff I am searching for is ..,
After all today I was at the new studio on my own as Raffa is on vacation. I told you in the start that I feel a change from within myself - for sure this is also because I hit my bycicle to get there, honestly I did not have much body moving in the last years when working from home ... but I also feel a change with that room. That room has magic. There is no computer, no Internet, just me and the things I am up to do. I feel this change at home too as home feels more like home now by knowing your work seperated from private life. It is really an awesome feeling, kind of rebirth and today I finished up all that stuff that had to be done in the room for now and tomorrow I will be at my brushes for 8 hours of painting. Can't wait to do so and I can't wait to have Raffa back - until then I will make this room even more home of the apes, maybe paint a little canvas here and a little canvas there or even just paint on the walls, who knows what the magic yellow door will do to me tomorrow ...

Time to say goodbye ...
I was really corious on how much I'll miss my two cats
as they really became a part of my daily work ...
and I was already missing them during packing when they
played cat mikado with my stuff - ahhhhh!!! :D
Keiko told me that she knew what will happen and that
she will come with me, no matter what!!
On we went on Friday morning, getting the keys to our new place and renting a car to transport all that stuff. C'mon I never thought Miniature painters could have so much material as we are working with MINIatures!!! - It was just pure horror and one of the hottest days in the year so far. These facts did not make all those stairs easier, but on early morning Raffa was prepared and highly motivated as you can see:
We have been lucky to have Klaus and Peter with us and with their immense help we finished all that carrying and getting the stuff we need until Friday night. WE HATE STAIRS!! Everything was in that room but far from in place. Some impressions ...
After leaving all those stairs behind
we found ourselves in a magical room with 3 magical doors
...
The best thing is we have a yellow door now
and yellow is the colour of banananananayeaha!!!!

Room is ready for work!
Still some WTF?-places around ...
... but in the end we are now kind of sorted and organised,
but still have to do some final works on Raffa's return.
Hah! My sister is on that photo :)
We even got coffee there ...
... and I guess too much lamps ...
too much primer, mainly because of the painting classes ...
too much material for sure!
But all in all I am really happy on how the room turned out
after todays work and I am looking forward to paint tomorrow ...
A look through the window this rainy afternoon ...
The place we are at used to be an old US barrack but now it is a big place
for subcultures, clubs and musicians ...
Ough! Diary out!
Hope you like it!
Hope you like it!
Best Wishes

You might have seen them once in a while here by the jungle crew.
Strange constructions to put our miniature on top during painting. Now they are available from the inventor himsel, Stephan Rath.
Quickly I will hand over word to him and just quote him:
_________________________________________________________________________
"With this Miniature holder it is possible to minimize the tremor while painting or sculpting. At first glance, the holder looks a bit strange and you don`t know how and if the thing might help. But the enlightenment comes when you have worked with it.
I could now convince many painters and sculptors of my tool and the feedback was 100% positive.
The facts:
-Comfortable handling
-Precise painting and sculpting without to tremble, by resting your brush holding fingers on the wire bar.
-The wire bar is rotatable around the workpiece (360 degrees)
-Without contact: The workpiece must never be touched with the fingers
-Suitable for painting and modellations
-Suitable for single miniatures 28-54mm, small busts, etc.
-Suitable for right-and left-hander
-pinned workpieces can be fixed in the cork, miniatures on custom bases can be fixed on the ceramic base with Patafix
-Every single miniatures-holder was made by me by hand and checked for function.
-Wire bar can be disassembled for priming your miniature and to remove the finished work
-Available in two versions, small for 28-32mm mini's and large for 54mm miniatures
Prices:
• Miniature holder for 28-32mm = 12 €
• Miniature holder for 54mm miniature. = 12 €
• additional ceramic cork base. = 6 €
• special deal:
3 miniature holder (sizes can be mixed) = 32 €
Shipping:
to european union = 6 €
U.S., Australia and all other counties = 7 €
to Germany = 4 €
I've made a lot of them. But once I have sold all, I write a note on this blog.

I for my part can say I love to paint with the armature as it is no lie that you can work way more precious and stay truely calm while doing so. You won't lose control but you need a moment to get used to it ...
Keep on happy painting!

I told you about those little girls from Privateer Press that I am happy to exchange with painter friends. I want to show you the one I did recieve from Matt Cexwish while he was at our place for one night. He created her in just one night and I am very, very thankful and happy about it. Sooner or later he will get one back from me ...
Musica:
So far - we are still busy with the studio place but soon you can read the big report about the move and how it looks in the end! Stay tuned!
Keep on happy painting!
