Brief: Da Red Gobbo 2019

Brief - Da Red Gobbo 2019 Back in 2019 I started to visit the local Warhammer store frequently and did a thing, that seemed totally crazy to me at that time. I bought a mini for 30€ - only for painting. Nowadays that’s business as usual - but at that time it felt like burning money with a match. Why did I do then? The store manager, who is still my most beloved store managers ever - convinced me to join a store wide painting competition: ~3 weeks time to paint “Da red Gobbo” till Christmas and bring it to the store. The Mission There were 3 Categories if I remember right Best Painting Best Conversion YoungbloodClose to 40 At that time, youngblood was not an option. And for Painting, I knew that there were some painters at least on the same level as me. Thus I planned to do some “major” conversion work too. The Plan Painting wise I planned to keep the boxart colors and give my best. The only change is the gun where I wanted to paint my first ever NMM. F...

The obligatory "hello world" ... Again

From Painter to Blogger Hi there, I'm Mike, formally speaking Michael Reckhaus ( just to give a hint where the nick "Rockhouse" might originate from, and now guess my favorite style of music) - Hobbyist miniature painter and diorama builder ... And now "Blogger"? "How dare you to be a blogger with a "D" grade in language and just a nerdy hobby?" It's more a project diary - with my future me as target audience. Every project from any hobbyist start with an idea, face challenges or even complete turnarounds. The final pictures never cover all the emotions that went into the piece nor the curses that the poor toy had to endure. And that's what I'd like to achieve. A project diary, WIPs, written down curses and the joy when all turns out as expected - or just turns out as finished. So let's see if it works for upcoming projects. Additionally I'll post older finished projects over time. Maybe also workshop or ...

Paint: Elli the bearded dragon

A Lizard Bust with real life reference Elli the bearded dragon is a bust from Martin Lavat created under his label Nautilus Miniatures I saw his booth at SMC 2023 and immediately fell in love with the sculpt. Such a bust is definitely something special in our scene, that is dominated by Fantasy, Sci-fi or historical miniatures. But the truth is, I love lizards and my son takes care for a bearded dragon - Guess her name? Right, it's Elli. The Plan and who the heck is Elli? Such a bust is special as it cover some of the frequent appearing things of our daily miniature painter life. No Skin, leather, Metal, cloth - just scales. But I wanted to painted it as close as possible to our real “Elli” and create a monument on her. That’s why I took quite some observation time and photo shooting with the lovely lizard. These shootings were of amazing value cause the colours that the pictures revealed quite surprised me. We have warm orang...
