I can't believe it has been over 2 years since I last updated the site! I am REALLY sorry for the crappy "service". (assuming that there are still visitor's to the site). Things have really been busy, but I am going to try to stay on top of the site.
Some things that have gone down since my last update. I took third place in the Adepticon Rogue Demon painting contest with a unit of Ogres. The same unit made first cut at Chicago GD and won First Place and Best overall in the Warhammer category at the local GW store in Milwaukee. I also entered the Space Marine captain and won First Place and Best Overall in the WH40K category. You can find pics of the Ogres on CMON right now. I will get the pics up on the site here in the next day or two. I have also started to keep a blog of my latest WIPs. You can read the blog here: parvusmachina blog Ok, that's it for now. Thanks for hanging in there with me!

Added my first sci-fi mini, a female space dwarf from Hasslefree, Elghir from Confrontation (an on-going commission), a wolf (companion to the female druid and a commission), a female druid (commission), an androsynth (my entry into the I-Kore online painting contest), and a half orc (commission that went with the druid and the wolf)
added 09/17/04 The latest mini to come out of Parvus Machina is a 54mm Barbary Mage from Iron Wind Metal's Spellcaster game. I really liked this guy. The tattoos/brandings all over his torso and back were a real challenge. I am also happy with my first major attempt at painting with red.
