So I did a thing!!... 📖
now I need testers!!
please get in touch if you fancy a FREE (prototype) copy to test for me!!

🎨 MINIATURE PAINTERS WANTED — WOULD YOU LIKE TO TEST MY NEW PROJECT BOOK? 🎨

I have a couple of prototype copies of my new 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸, and I’d love to give them to miniature painters who will genuinely use them and provide honest feedback.

These are prototypes for a reason: the print and finishing quality isn’t up to the standard of the finished editions. However, all of the content is there and fully usable, making them ideal for properly testing the layouts and features during real painting projects.

Inside, you’ll find dedicated sections for:

🖌️ Planning miniature-painting projects
🎨 Developing colour schemes
📝 Recording paint recipes and mixing ratios
🌈 Testing colours and undercoats
🪨 Keeping track of basing formulas
🧩 Organising kitbash ideas and spare bitz
⚔️ Building a useful archive of your finished projects

I’m looking for testers who would be happy to use the book properly, try its different sections and let me know what works well—or what could be improved. Photos of the book in use would also be very welcome, although there’s absolutely no obligation to leave a positive or public review. I want genuine, constructive feedback!

The prototype book itself is 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙁𝙍𝙀𝙀. You can pop into The Home Crafters to register your interest, or send me a message telling me a little about what you paint and why you’d like to test it.

Copies can also be posted, but I would ask that you cover the postage cost.

I only have a couple available, so please register your interest only if you’ll realistically have time to use the book and send me some feedback. These prototypes deserve to get painty! 😄

Sunday was spent finishing up the first dude from my
Well, not quite finished as we need to choose the decals when the whole squad is painted up, plus I'm not keen on the orange hair!! But it's what the client (my OH) wanted!! 😂

Upon realising I am painting up my first actual squad, I thought it best to use the project planner for this one!!

Feel like I should shout out this stuff.... It truly is magic given the current climate in the UK. Air is so warm and dry right now, a dab of this on my wet palette and my paint is lasting longer... Basically it's not drying on the brush before it touches the model!! 💖

Still experimenting with colour and tone but loving the results so far 🐲

Not as green as I was imagining but that can be fixed with a glaze.... 🤔
