News
Spontanously, I moved studio last weekend as I was presented with a great oppourtunity and luck: A much bigger studio where I can also teach my group seminars. The move was smooth as we just moved from second floor to first floor. I am in the middle of settings things up.



Weekend Workshops
They will be back in 2023. No group workshops will happen in 2022. First dates are set (see banner). You can not sign in yet as I am in the middle of reworking www.romanlappat.com to make signing up easier. Stay tuned!

Private Coachings
Please contact me via mail to jarhead@massivevoodoo.com if you are interested for your private coaching. Right now I am almost fully booked until early May. There are a handful of possible dates left. New dates for later in 2023 will be available around March 2023.

Etsy News
At the moment updates on etsy went a bit silent due the studio move. Nonetheless, I do prepare some tutorials and step by steps of my actual projects. Additional I am working on the next workbook, which will be a massive tutorial guide that includes my Beginner Workshop content.

Hey all,

it's David once again, back with a small peek on the latest mini I finished - of course in 1/72 scale. This time it's one of the so called "leper knights" from the Knightly Order of St Lazarus. Check out the order's history over at Wikipedia, it's super interesting.

The mini is a 1/72 print of a 3D sculpt by the incredibly talented Reconquer Designs. Big thanks go out to my jungle brother Josua for the printing help.

In painting the mini and creating the base, I was going for a dusty, desert-type of athmosphere. I wanted to impress the feeling that the knight is standing on a rocky cliff overlooking an arid landscape in the scorching-hot sun of the Levante.

The banner is scratch-made from a piece of paper. If you're interested in how I did this, check the little tutorial I wrote a few weeks ago: Tutorial - How to Make a Banner.

The mini is also at Putty&Paint. If you feel like voting, follow the link:

Thanks for your interest and talk to you soon,

David

 Hi Jungle,

the first timeI saw this Games Workshop miniature from Age of Sigmar I really wanted to paint here. While using one of the wolves for "Vlkafenryka" I filled the space with some zombies from the Cursed City box.

'Belladamma Volga': a fun piece I painted for explanation purpose during the last private coaching. Miniature is for sale! Check back with this link:

 Good Morning Jungle,

in this video Itake you on a Happy Painting Philosophy Walk and tell you about mx 6 important points I already knew when I was starting professional miniature painting in 2005. This video is about finding your track on journey as a miniature painter.




I am really enjoying the video stuff lately and with changes for MV that are planned behind the curtain it is a good thing to remind you all that we got a YouTube channel :D

Enjoy and keep on happy painting!

Hey Jungle,

more private coaching reviews coming in the next weeks. Here is another one from the end of June.
I had the privilege to coach Gabi, who just got some colors and miniatures from a family member who did a break in miniature painting. Gabi was super interested in getting to learn this craft.




Not painting for a long time, she decided to contact me to learn proper techniques and apprroaches and we went far beyond our both expectations in the coaching.




Gabi aka @gabisflyingcolours says:

"The private coaching with Roman was a mind blowing couple of days. As a relative newbie to miniature painting (5 months) I was hoping to get to improve on my painting techniques, and we did that

…. and then so much more: To have an artist of his caliber put himself totally at the service of his students’ growth and creative vision is really quite a unique experience. While methodical and structured, Roman is so engaging and responsive that I got into the creative flow from the get-go, getting a totally new perspective on things that I thought I already knew and got heaps of exciting new ideas all along the way. He encourages you to stretch and inspires with his input and examples. In these two intense days I experimented a lot, learned so much more than I expected AND walked out with a beautiful piece of my own.

Oh, and did I mention that he’s the most generous and chill guy? I am glad that I had the opportunity to take this workshop full of creative joy at this early stage of my learning (I’m 5 months into mini painting) - and I hope I have a chance to come back sometime soon."

- Gabi

Thank you for your will to learn from me and the cool two days shared in my studio, Gabi.

Keep on happy painting!
Roman
